Doubting the Warnings
وَلَقَدۡ أَنذَرَهُم بَطۡشَتَنَا فَتَمَارَوۡاْ بِٱلنُّذُرِ ٣٦
And he indeed had warned them of Our blow, but they did doubt the warnings.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
He had warned them of Our assault, but they disputed the warnings.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, Lot had told his people of the terror of the seizure; but they met the warnings with doubt and dispute.
Reflect
Listen to a warning instead of arguing with it.
