(Lot) said; “These are my daughters, (marry them) if you want to commit (what you desire to commit).”
Tafsir
Hadrat Lut 'alaihis-salâm' continued to defend the angels because he thought that the angels in human form, who were his guests, were human beings; O my people! He said, 'Here are my daughters, marry my daughters whom Allah has made lawful.
Since Prophets are the elders and fathers of their people, the daughters of their people are considered to be the daughters of the Prophet, so when Hadrat Lut (as) said, "Here are my daughters", he meant the daughters of his people.
What is said in the video
Surah Al-Hijr, we have come to verse 71. Lot said: Here are my daughters; if you are going to do what you have in mind, marry what is lawful. When he says "here are my daughters" — how many daughters does Lot (peace be upon him) have to give to them? As we always say, the prophets are the elders and fathers of their peoples. When he says "here are my daughters", he is pointing to the daughters of his people and wants them to marry them. But these had abandoned the women who are lawful, whom Allah commanded. They had become a people living in filth among themselves. Lot (peace be upon him), since he took his guests, the angels in human form, for humans, continued to defend the angels and said: O my people, here are my daughters; marry my daughters, whom Allah has declared lawful.
As for Lot (peace be upon him) saying "here are my daughters": since the prophets are the elders and fathers of their peoples, the girls of their peoples also count as the prophet's daughters. For this reason, by saying "here are my daughters", Lot (peace be upon him) meant the girls of his people. Yes.
