So they returned feeling for each other until they entered the village. They said: We have come back to you from the ablest of magicians who has taken out our sights. So Jibreel took out their eyes, and they turned back feeling for each other until they exited to those who were at the gate. “O Lūt! Verily, we are the Messengers from your Lord! They shall not reach you!” (Hood 11:81) “Would that I had strength to overpower you, or that I could betake myself to some powerful support to resist you.” (Hood 11:80) Then Jibreel ( `alaihis-salām) turned to him and said: “Surely you know that we have neither any desire nor any need of your daughters, and indeed you know very well what we want!” (Hood 11:79) So Lūt ( ‘alaihis-salām) said: So fear Allah and degrade me not as regards my guests!” (Hood 11:78) “O my people! Here are my daughters, they are purer for you if you marry them lawfully. So the people rushed towards him in a state of hysteria. Then he brought his three daughters and sat them between his guests and the people of his town. So he invited them to come closer until he sat them close to him. “When the Angel Messengers of Allah came to Lūt, he thought them to be guests with strength.
This narration gives us an insight into the life of Loot and is an extension of what is mentioned in the Qur’an – and in this narration is a defence of this noble Prophet from the accusations levelled against him and false stories fabricated about the reality of the events at the time.Īl-Hākim reports in Al-Mustadrak (2/375) from Ibn ‘Abbās (radiyallāhu ‘anhumā) who said: He strived against them and suffered at their hands until Allah sent to them a severe punishment. So the Prophet Lūt ( ‘alaihis-salām) was sent to them so that they may return to the worship of Allah and show obedience to Him, and abandon this unnatural and sinful deed. Men of the towns of Sodom and Gomorrah would perform sexual acts upon each other, acts of sodomy that go against human nature, and against the intellect, that oppose one’s moral instincts and Revelation from God. A deviation in morality that opposed the nature of humanity itself from the dawn of its creation till their time – something unheard of in the history of mankind. The Prophet Lūt (‘alaihis-salaam) is one of the Prophets and Messengers of Allah who was sent to a people with hard hearts and harsh natures – they gathered together deviation in belief and deviation in moral character. So Loot was sent to the city of Sodom and Gomorra (Saddoom and ‘Amoorah) which was the main city of that region, situated to the south-east of the Dead Sea, approximately 100km from Jerusalem. He was his student, and he learned from him, and he was like a son to him. The Story of the Prophet Lūt (peace be upon him) known as Prophet Lot in the BibleĪl-Hāfidh Ibn Katheer and Imām As-Sa`dee mentioned that Lūt ( ‘alaihis-salām) was the nephew of Ibrāheem ( ‘alaihis-salām), the son of his brother, and his story follows on from the story of Ibrāheem.
