The scene moves from Ibrahim's house to Lut's. Ibn Kathir says the angels came to Lut in the form of young men with handsome faces. Nobody in town knew who had just walked in.
Some days look like every other day: a knock on the door, a call, a stranger at the bus stop. You rarely know which ordinary moment is carrying something big. That is a reason to treat each one well.
Nothing important happens on a normal day.
Allah's decree often arrives looking ordinary, through a door like any other.
Try this
Treat the next person who knocks, calls or asks for help today as if the moment matters.
