And when Our Messengers came to Ibrahim ( Abraham ) with the glad tidings they said : " Verily , we are going to destroy the people of this [ Lout 's ( Lot 's ) ] town ( i.e. the town of Sodom in Palestine ) truly , its people have been Zalimun [ wrong-doers , polytheists and disobedient to Allah , and have also belied their Messenger Lout ( Lot ) ] .
