Tafseer of Surah Adh-Dhariyat Ayat 31 to 37. (Abraham AS) said: "And what, O ye Messengers, is your errand (now)?" 32. They said, "We have been sent to a people (deep) in sin; - 33.”To bring on, (a shower of) stones of clay (brimstone), Cf. 11:82, and 7:84. The angels' errand of mercy to Abraham (to announce the succession of godly men in his line) was coupled with their errand of justice and punishment to the people of Lut, the people of Sodom and Gomorrah, who were deep in the most abominable and unnatural sins. So Allah's Mercy and Justice go hand in hand in all human affairs. Faith has nothing to fear, and wickedness has only to turn and repent, to obtain Allah's Mercy. 34. "Marked as from thy Lord for those who trespass beyond bounds. “Every crime has its due punishment as marked out in the decrees of Allah. 35. Then We evacuated those of the Believers who were there, The only just or righteous persons found in Sodom and Gomorrah (Cities of the Plain by the Dead Sea) were in the house of Lut, who was the Prophet sent to call them to repentance. He and his believing family and adherents were told to leave in due time, and the wicked were destroyed in a shower of brimstone. 36. But We found not find any just (Muslim) persons except in one house :( That was the house of Lut; and even there, his wife had no faith: she disobeyed the Command and perished: 11:81. 37. And We left there a Sign for fear the Grievous Penalty. The Grievous Penalty: that is, the Final Judgment. The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah in this life is taken as the type of the Final Judgment. The vestiges can be seen—as a Sign and a Warning—in the sulphury plain round the Dead Sea: Cf. 15:79.

English Translation of Hadith

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ [SAWW](PBUH) Hazrat Ibn Abbas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ [SAWW](PBUH) said,  "If anyone constantly seeks pardon (from Allah), Allah will appoint for him a way out of every distress and a relief from every anxiety, and will provide sustenance for him from where he expects not.''

[Abu Dawud Hadith # 1518].

Lesson: By seeking forgiveness, a relationship with Allah is established between man and his Creator. So, seeking forgiveness is a very good act. Allah likes those people who, after committing a sin, do not stick to it, but right away seek forgiveness for their sins from Allah. They weep and express sorrow before Allah.
