Al-Anbiya (The Prophets)
Verse 71
Translation:
71. But We delivered him and (his nephew) Lut (and directed them) to the land which We have blessed for the nations.
Notes (Tafseer):
2727. The land of Aram or Syria, which in its widest connotation includes Canaan or Palestine. Syria is a well-watered fertile land, with a Mediterranean sea-coast, on which the famous commercial cities of Tyre and Sidon were situated. Its population is very mixed, as it has been a bone of contention between all the great kingdoms and empires of Western Asia and Egypt, and European interest in it dates from the most ancient times.
