Blinded by passion, they laughed at Prophet Lut alayhi saalam. He even advised them seek sexual fulfillment with their wives because it is what Allah subhaana wa ta’alaa made lawful for them. He pleaded with his people by telling them to leave the visitors alone and to fear the punishment of Allah subhanaa wa ta’alaa. Imagine the situation that Prophet Lut alayhi saalam was going through? They demanded to come and see the travelers. The men of the town came to Prophet Lut alayhi saalam’s house and they started banging on the front door. They were under two of Our righteous servants but betrayed them, so those prophets did not avail them from Allah at all, and it was said, "Enter the Fire with those who enter.” (Surah At-Tahrim 66:10) It says in Surah Tahrim ayah 10, Allah Subhanaa wa ta’alaa saysĪllah presents an example of those who disbelieved: the wife of Noah and the wife of Lot. Prophet Lut alayhi saalam’s wife was also a matchmaker for the men. Prophet Lut alayhi saalam’s wife sneaked out of the house in order to inform the people of the handsome travelers. Prophet Lut alayhi saalam finally decided to let them come inside his home. Prophet Lut alayhi saalam tried to hint at the travelers to leave the town, but they refused. She immediately called her father and told him about the handsome looking travelers that came to town. She saw how beautiful these young men were. The first to see these travelers was one of Prophet Lut alayhi saalam’s daughters. These travelers happened to come to the town of Prophet Lut alayhi saalam. One day, there were two travelers that needed a place to stay. And the answer of his people was not but they said, "Bring us the punishment of Allah, if you should be of the truthful.” (Al-Ankabut 29:29) Indeed, you approach men and obstruct the road and commit in your meetings evil. In Surah Ankaboot Ayah 29, Allah subhanaa wa ta’alaa says No one listened to him.This saddened Prophet Lut alayhi saalam and he prayed that Allah Subhanaa wa Ta’alaa gives him victory against his people. Just like the Prophets and messengers before him, Prophet Lut alayhi saalam patiently continued to advise his people and spread the message of Islam. Instead, they mocked and ridiculed Prophet Lut alayhi saalam. They did not want to give up their desires. However, these men were blinded by desire and passion.
They neglected their wives for the enjoyment of other men.Īllah Subhaana wa ta’alaa sent down Prophet Lut alayhi saalam to spread the message of Islam to his people and to advise them to abandon homosexuality. These people practiced homosexuality openly without any shame. However, they did not use these blessings in the way that Allah subhaanu wa ta’alaa would like. The people of Sodom were very wealthy and they enjoyed the countless bounties that Allah subhaana wa ta’alaa decreed on them. The story of Prophet Lut alayhi saalam starts in the town of Sodom and he is the nephew of Prophet Ibrahim alayhi saalam. Most importantly, it gives us better understanding of this beautiful deen.
It gives us infinite wisdom and knowledge. The stories of the Prophets should make us reflect.
We as Muslims must think about the nations that came before us. Indeed, We sent upon them a storm of stones, except the family of Lot - We saved them before dawn. And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember? The people of Lot denied the warning.
