The Story of Prophet Lut (PBUH)- The Corrupt City-

Prophet Lut (“ Prophet Lot”) was born and raised by his uncle Prophet Ibrahim, may peace be upon him. Prophet Lut loved, admired and believed in Ibrahim’s communication indeed when everyone scouted him. Ibrahim, together with Lut, frequently travelled far, across land and ocean, trying to invite and spread man to the pack of Islam.

During Ibrahim’s and Lut’s migration to Palestine, they entered the godly decree of Allah that Lut had been chosen as a Prophet and Messenger for the people of Sodom. Allah instructed the new Prophet to travel to the megacity of Sodom, located on the border of Jordan and Palestine, and summon the criminals back to the deification of Allah.

Sodom was a thriving megacity that was visited by numerous trippers, merchandisers and businessmen for trade. Still, Sodom was also the most loose megacity with the loftiest felonious exertion during that time. Trippers passing Sodom were frequently waylaid and burgled of their things, and occasionally were mercilessly boggled. But, the most notorious act of wrong that was committed by this loose nation was homosexuality.

Homosexuality was introduced into the world by the people of Lut — none in the history of humanity had ever endured or rehearsed homosexuality before Sodom. This opprobrious practice was the norm amongst this nation, and the entire population engaged in it. They were immensely proud of their conduct, spoke openly about it, and engaged in these immoral actions out in the open.

Homosexuality was introduced into the world by the people of Lut — none in the history of humanity had ever endured or rehearsed homosexuality before Sodom. This opprobrious practice was the norm amongst this nation, and the entire population engaged in it. They were immensely proud of their conduct, spoke openly about it, and engaged in these immoral actions out in the open.

Pleased with the Prophethood and his new charge, Prophet Lut soon settled in Sodom and began to concoct ways to bring his people in to the pack of Islam. He was well-apprehensive that his nation was the most loose nation of that time; but he held firm faith and hoped and supplicated that they would soon see the error of their ways and enter into the path of Allah.

Soon Prophet Lut approached the men of the megacity and reminded them of their Lord “ Will you not sweat Allah and observe Him? Verily! I'm a secure Messenger to you. So sweat Allah, keep your duty to Him, and observe me.” Puzzled, the men of the megacity began agitating amongst themselves “ This man has entered our megacity, and is telling us to cease what we're doing? Easily, he's gaining commodity out of this!” Prophet Lut replied “ No price do I ask of you for it. My price is only from the Lord of the Worlds.”

Prophet Lut also broached the matter of homosexuality and informed them that it was indeed an immoral practice. He said “ Do you approach males among the worlds, and leave those whom your Lord has created for you as your women? Nay, you're a people of transgressing!”

.

Prophet Lut also informed his people that he'd Norway agree to be a part of this similar a practice, and advised them of a severe discipline from Allah. He said “ I'm indeed, of those who disapprove with severe wrathfulness and fury your action (of sodomy).” The men and women of Sodom came veritably angry at Lut’s speech; they began to bandy amongst each other, planning to drive Lut down from their megacity. They also advised Prophet Lut “ If you cease not, O Lut! Verily, you'll be one of those who are driven out!”

.Prophet Lut came worried. After times and times of inviting people to Islam, not one person in Sodom had entered the pack of Islam. The only Muslim ménage in Sodom was Lut’s house and not all its inhabitants were Muslims — Lut and his daughters were loyal in their religion, but his woman continued to be among thenon-believers. So Prophet Lut raised his hands to the welkin and supplicated “ My Lord, support me against the corrupting people. My Lord, save me and my family from what they do.”

Meanwhile, Allah transferred three angels, including Angel Jibreel, disguised as men to Prophet Ibrahim’s house as guests. Ibrahim, who failed to honor the angels, prepared a grand feast for his guests. But his guests refused the refection's offered to them. Prophet Ibrahim came fearful; he asked “ Who are you?” The angels replied “ Don't be hysterical! We're the angels of Allah. We've been transferred to the people of Lut and we've been transferred to give you glad tidings of a son enjoying important knowledge and wisdom.” Prophet Ibrahim knew that Allah’s discipline for the people of Sodom was near. He incontinently stressed for his whoreson, Lut; he said to the angels “ Indeed, within it's Lut.” The Angels replied “ We're more knowing of who's within it.” They comforted Ibrahim that Lut will be saved.

The angels also progressed towards Sodom disguised as handsome youthful men. The son of Lut, a religionist, witnessed the handsome men entering the megacity and frenetically ran to her father and informed him of the three men. Prophet Lut approached the men and ate them to megacity of Sodom. He knew too well of the fate that would transpire the youthful men at the hands of the men of Sodom; so he intended to move the men to leave the megacity for their own safety. But Prophet Lut was too embarrassed to ask the guests to leave, so he guided the guests to his home icing that none saw the three handsome men.

Lut’s woman, anon-believer, saw the men as they entered her house, together with her hubby, Lut. She hastened to the men of the megacity and informed them that Lut had three seductive, youthful men in his house. The men rejoiced at the news and sluggishly gathered outside the house of Lut and began pounding on his door. Lut cried “ Don't disgrace me concerning my guests. Is there not among you a man of reason?” Growing restless, the men cried back “ Have we not interdicted you from (hosting) people?”

.The whole nation of Sodom had now gathered at Lut’s doorstep. They grew intolerant by the nanosecond and began breaking down his door. Feeling agitated, Lut called out to his people “ These (the girls of the nation) are my daughters (to marry lawfully) if you must act so.” The men responded “ You have formerly known that we've no interest in your daughters; and indeed, you know what we want.” Prophet Lut came helpless against the loose people. However, he allowed, “ If only I had against you some power or could take retreat in a strong power”. The three men also spoke up “ O Lut, indeed we're angels of your Lord; ( thus) they will noway reach you.”

Angel Jibreel also stepped out of Lut’s house and struck the men causing all men to lose their sight. Shocked and maddened, the men cried “ What’s this magic that just hit us? Where did this come from? O Lut! You're the one behind this. You'll see what we will do to you hereafter.” The eyeless men also returned to their homes conniving to destroy Lut the following day.

Allah commanded Lut “ Set out with your family during a portion of the night and let not any among you look back, except your woman. Indeed she'll be struck by that which strikes them. Indeed, their appointment is (for) the morning. Isn't the morning near?” As instructed, Prophet Lut, together with his daughters, left Sodom during the night.

As the morning actualized, a loud, piercing cry replaced through the megacity that shook the inhabitants with great pain and fear. Jibreel also seized the nation from the edge of his sect, raised them high over, twisted the land, and crashed it to the ground. Allah also caused the skies to rain down monuments of hard complexion — each gravestone inscribed with the name of a felon for whom it was intended for, ending the vain lives of the inhabitants of Sodom.

Prophet Lut, who left Sodom with his daughters, returned to his uncle, Prophet Ibrahim. Together with Ibrahim, Lut continued to spread the communication of Allah till his death.

Moment, the Dead Sea lies at the point of the loose megacity of Sodom, and remains as a important memorial of Allah’s wrath against the people of Prophet Lut. Allah the Exalted says in the Holy Quran “ Surely! In this are signs for those who see. And verily! They (the metropolises) are right on the drive (from Mecca to Syria, i.e. the place where the Dead Sea is now). Surely! Therein is indeed a sign for the religionists.”
