One of the tree men (angels) asked her, "O maiden, is there a place to rest?"
When she lifted her face and saw them, she was stunned that there could be men of such magnificent beauty on earth. The first person who caught sight of them was Lot's daughter, who was sitting beside the river, filling her jug with water. They reached the walls of the town in the afternoon. Therefore, the angels left Abraham peace be upon him and headed for Sodom the town of Lut peace be upon him. Overwhelmed with despair, Lot prayed to Allah to grant him victory and destroy the corrupt. Instead, they belittled his message and mockingly challenged him: "Bring Allah's Torment upon us if you are one of the truthful!" Al-Qur'an 29:29 The years rolled by, and still not one believed in him. His life was continuous torture and he suffered greatly, but he remained patient and steadfast with his people. If home is the place of comfort and rest, then Lut found none, for he was tormented both inside and outside his home. They were under two of Our righteous slaves, but they both betrayed their (husbands, by rejecting their doctrines) so they (Noah & Lut) benefited them (their respective wives) not, against Allah, and it was said, 'Enter the Fire along with those who enter!' " Al-Qur'an 66:10 Lot's wife, like Noah's wife, a disbeliever.Īllah the Almighty declared: "Allah set forth an example for those who disbelieve, the wife of Noah and the wife of Lot.
No one responded to his call and believed except for the members of his family, and even in his household, not all the members believed. As the years passed, he persisted in his mission but to no avail. Their unwholesome reputation spread throughout the land, while he struggled against them. The doings of Lot's people saddened his heart. "So We saved him and his family, all except an old woman (this wife) among those who remained behind." Al-Qur'an 26:160-171 My Lord! Save me and my family from what they do.' "He said, 'I am indeed, of those who disapprove with severe anger and fury your (this evil) action (of sodomy). "They said, 'If you cease not, O Lot! Verily, you will be one of those who are driven out!' Go you in unto the males of the 'alamin (mankind), and leave those whom Allah has created for you to be your wives? Nay, you are a trespassing people!' No reward do I ask of you for it (my Message of Islamic Monotheism) my reward is only from the Lord of the 'alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists).
So fear Allah, keep your duty to Him, and obey me. "The people of Lot (those dwelt in the towns of Sodom in Palestine) belied the Messengers when their brother Lot said to them, 'Will you not fear Allah and obey Him? Verily! I am a trustworthy Messenger to you. Instead, they threatened to drive him out of the city if he kept on preaching. Swamped in their unnatural desires, they refused to listen, even when Lot warned them of Allah's punishment. It was at the height of these crimes and sins that Allah revealed to Prophet Lut peace be upon him that he should summon the people to give up their indecent behavior, but they were so deeply sunk in their immoral habits that they were deaf to Lot's preaching. This unnatural act later became known as sodomy (after the city of Sodom).
Another common evil among them was that men had sex with men instead of with women. Its residents waylaid, robbed and killed travelers. Prophet Abraham peace be upon him left Egypt accompanied by his nephew Lut peace be upon him, who then went to the city of Sodom (Sadum), which was on the western shore of the Dead Sea.
