Apparent Contradiction In Story Of Prophet Lot(PBUH) Between Surah Hijr And Hud
When angels came to Lut , they obviosuly introduced themselves and they would have talked obvioduly. Also before that they went to Abraham. And Abraham did not knew they were angels. So probably Lut also did not knew they were angels first. They would have talked and told him their mission. Then people came for the angels. Lot probably tried to defend the situation and angels calmed him and assured maybe once again to leave at night. You see you have to use your mind here. Quran does not tell us all the details of the story in a specific scientific chronological order But gives us important scenes from the entire story. I don’t know how you are making this claim that there is a contradiction. I don’t see any. Kindly elaborate.
You say “scientific chronological order” as if it’s some very complex requirement when actually its the most natural way to tell a story, especially if it’s a description of a single episode that took place over a day. It’s fine to only mention the important scenes, but it’s strange if they are in a different order in different versions, unless there is some reason behind it, literary or otherwise. When in two versions of the same story, the events happen in a different order, it is natural to find it a bit strange and contradictory. Also, I already explained earlier why the repeat assurance explanation doesn’t make sense. Prophet Lot wouldn’t despair and say he “wished” he had some strength or support if the angels had already introduced them to him and told him about God’s plan. Thanks for your attempts at answering the question. If it makes sense to you, that’s good, but I don’t find it satisfactory. I’ll appreciate it if someone else with more knowledge on this can answer the question.
