Hazrat Loot (A.S), also referred to as Prophet Lut in the Quran, was a cousin of Hazrat Ibrahim (A.S) and was commissioned by Allah to lead the people of Sodom and Gomorrah. These two cities, which were situated near the Dead Sea, were notorious for their corruption, particularly the prevalent practice of homosexuality—a sin that was unknown in the annals of mankind before.
Hazrat Loot (A.S) kept preaching, calling his people to leave their immoral life and come back to the right path. He reminded them about the sanctity of marriage and the natural law ordained by Allah. People laughed at him, threatening to banish him, even though he was making sincere efforts. Even his wife was one of the disbelievers, which shows how deep the corruption of society had become.
Later on, Allah's wrath fell on the people of Loot. Angels, wearing the form of handsome men, came to him and ordered him to evacuate the city along with his devotees before morning. As had been prophesied, a dire punishment befell—stones fell from heaven, and cities were overturned. Hazrat Loot (A.S) and the faithful only were spared, and the remainder, including his wife, all died.
This narrative serves as a strong reminder of the outcome of going against divine advice and the value of moral uprightness. Hazrat Loot (A.S) is a figure of unshakeable belief and innocence in the midst of pervasive corruption.
If preferred, I can also provide a brief video explaining this narrative visually—just let me know.
