Everyone and everything in the towns were destroyed. Brimstones as hard as baked clay rained down upon the cities and spread, layer on layer. When morning came the cities were turned upside down. Morning is the appointed time and it is not far off, so go!”Īnd Prophet Lut (A.S.) had faith in Allah and left his home and all he had ever known, for the sake of his Lord. But your wife will remain behind and to her will happen what happens to the people. You bring up the rear and don’t let anyone look back. Travel with your family while yet a part of the night remains. They said, “O Lut! We are messengers from your Lord. Then the angels conveyed their message to Prophet Lut (A.S.). But they tried to snatch away his guests anyway, until Allah blinded their eyes and they heard, “Now taste my anger and my warning.” Prophet Lut Leaves He even tried to offer them his daughters for them to marry, if they would only leave his guests alone. Just as Prophet Lut (A.S.) had feared, the townspeople came after his guests. We are here to save you and your followers.” But they said, “Don’t be afraid and don’t grieve. When the same messengers came to Prophet Lut (A.S.), he was deeply concerned for their safety at the hands of his fellow townspeople, and he felt powerless to protect them. We will certainly save him and his following, except his wife. His immediate reaction was, “But there is Lut there!” They replied, “We well know who is there. Now, at about the same time that Allah sent angels as messengers to Ibrahim, to foretell the birth of Ishaq, the angels also told Ibrahim that they had been sent to destroy the people in Prophet Lut’s (A.S.) township. O my Lord! Deliver me and my family from such things as they do!”
He in turn would reply, “I do detest your doings. So they would say, “If you don’t stop your preaching, you will surely be driven out of town!” Deep down in their hearts they knew that what he said was true, but they didn’t like being told so. The people knew that Prophet Lut (A.S.) and his followers were leading a much cleaner and purer life than their own. You are people who sin beyond all limits.” Of all the creatures on this earth, you alone approach males, and leave the women whom Allah has created for you to be your mates. My reward is from the Lord of the Worlds.
He would say to them, “Won’t you fear Allah? I am a trustworthy messenger, so fear Allah and obey me. Prophet Lut (A.S.) attempted to get his people to turn from their wicked ways. As you read the story of Prophet Lut (A.S.), remember that Allah’s punishment for wrongdoers is never far away and that those who fear Allah are surely rewarded. Somehow, people who try to live in the way of Allah, who try to be clean and pure, honest and trustworthy, who are fearful of Allah, these people are scorned and disliked and made fun of. What is naturally right has become wrong and what is naturally wrong has become right, and all types of dishonesty and wickedness abound. The society in which Prophet Lut (A.S.) lived must have been very much like the society in which we live, where natural laws governing the behaviour of men and women toward each other are not any longer respected. They are meant to serve as a warning to us of what happens to people who do not follow in the way of Allah. The stories of the prophets which are told to us in the Qur’an are not just tales of devout and God-fearing people.
