Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some say that Lut (peace and blessings be upon him) did not call to the oneness of Allah at the beginning of his mission. If the caller had started the call with other matters, such as warning against sins and desires. Oh, my Lord! Does he say such a thing? Did he not read the statement: "And We sent no messenger before you except that We revealed to him that there is no god but I, so worship Me."
Answer:
Except that We revealed to him that there is no god but Us, so worship Us.[An-Nahl 16:36] He did not recite these verses to indicate that all the messengers came for tawhid (the oneness of Allah), including Lut (peace be upon him), but he singled out liwat (sodomy) because it is a crime to which they did not adhere, along with shirk (associating partners with Allah) (Mighty and Majestic is He).

Answer:
Except that We revealed to him that there is no god but Us, so worship Us.
And We certainly sent into every nation a messenger, [saying], "Worship Allah and avoid Taghut."
وَلَقَدْ بَعَثْنَا فِي كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ رَّسُولًا أَنِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ وَاجْتَنِبُوا الطَّاغُوتَ
