What is the difference between the companions of Lot and the people of Lot, and what is the temporal difference between them?
The term "companions of Lot" is not mentioned in the Quran or the books of Hadith. Rather, the term "people of Lot" is mentioned, referring to his nation to whom he was sent in Sodom, in Al-Sham. Lot was not from that region but from Babylon, in Iraq.
