﴿ ۞ فَـَٔامَنَ لَهُۥ لُوطٌۭ ۘ وَقَالَ إِنِّى مُهَاجِرٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّىٓ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ ﴾
“Thereupon [his brother’s son] Lot came to believe in him and said: “Verily, I [too] shall forsake the domain of evil [and turn] to my Sustainer: for, verily, He alone is almighty, truly wise!””
(And Lot believed him) he believed in Abraham, (and said) and Abraham said: (Lo! I am a fugitive unto my Lord) I am returning to the obedience of my Lord; and he left Harran for Palestine. (Lo! He, only He, is the Mighty) in retribution against them, (the Wise) He decreed that one should move from one country to another for growth and the protection of one's religion.
