[21].Al-Anbiya [The Prophets]: Ayat 74-75



Ayat 74. And (remember) Lout (Lot), We gave him Hukman (right judgment of the affairs and Prophethood) and (religious) knowledge, and We saved him from the town (folk) who practiced Al-Khabâ'ith (evil, wicked and filthy deeds, etc.). Verily, they were a people given to evil, and were Fasiqun (rebellious, disobedient, to Allah).
Ayat 75. And We admitted him to Our Mercy, truly, he was of the righteous.
[Tafseer] And to Lut (PBUH), too, We gave Judgment and Knowledge, and We saved him from the town which practised abominations: truly they were a people given to Evil, a rebellious people. Lot 's people were given to unspeakable abominations. His mission was to preach to them. He withstood Evil, but they rejected him. They were punished, but he and his followers were saved. And We admitted him to Our Mercy: for he was one of the Righteous.  

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) said, "By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, the world will not come to an end until a man passes by a grave and will lie over it saying, `Would that I were in this grave (i.e., dead)!' Not he will say so because of religious reasons but because of widespread mischief and severe trials of this world.'' 
[Al-Bukhari Book 09, Chapter 88, Hadith # 231] 
Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah Al-Anbiya Ayat 74."and We saved him from the town (folk) who practiced Al-Khabâ'ith (evil, wicked and filthy deeds, etc.)" There would be such disasters and agony in the world that people will prefer death to life under such conditions. This situation will arise before the Day of Resurrection, and the Day of Judgement will dawn on such wicked people.
