What is the secret behind not mentioning Lot's command to his people to "worship your Lord" in Surahs Al-A'raf and Hud, unlike what was narrated about other prophets such as Noah, Hud, and Saleh (peace be upon them)?
Like other messengers, Lot invited his people to monotheism, as the Quran states: "And We certainly sent into every nation a messenger, [saying], 'Worship Allah,'" and "And We sent not before you any messenger except that We revealed to him that there is no deity except Me, so worship Me." The reason the Quran does not specifically mention Lot's call to his people for monotheism is due to the heinousness of his people's sin and their committing of a vile act unprecedented before them, as the Quran indicated: "Do you commit immorality as no one has ever done before you in the worlds? Indeed, you approach men with desire instead of women. Rather, you are a transgressing people."
