Prophet Ibrahim (PBUH) left Egypt accompanied by his nephew Lut (PBUH), who then went to
the city of Sodom which was on the western shore of the Dead Sea.
This city was filled with evil.
People of this town attacked, robbed and killed travelers.
Another huge common evil act among them was that they were gay people.
Before this nation no one didn't do this kind of sin.
This unnatural act later became known as sodomy, after the city of Sodom.
It was practiced openly and they weren't ashamed of themselves.
For their crimes and big sins, Allah (T) sent Prophet Lut (pbuh) to guide them.
But they were very arrogant and ungrateful to Allah (T) and his messenger.
Prophet Lut (pbuh) warned them about Allah's punishment but they threatened to drive him
out of the city if he kept on preaching.
Animal: Why they wanted to though him out of the city?
Animal: Because they did not like prophet's good advice.
Yusuf: That's righ.
He became sad for their action.
They continued their gay act throughout the land, while he struggled against them.
As the many years passed, only few people accepted his call.
Not even all of his family members believed in him.
Lot's wife, like Noah's wife, was a disbeliever.
Animal: So, prophet lut and prophet Noah's were disbelivers?
Yusuf: That right.
So, His life was a continuous torture both inside and outside of his home but he remained
patient with his people.
Years after years passed by.
But his people still did not believe in him.
Instead, they challenged him: Man: “If you are truthful, bring Allah's punishment to
us.".
After many many years of preaching when Lut (pbuh) lost hope, Allah (T) decided to destroy
the bad people.
So he sent three angels in a human form.
At first they went to Prophet Ibrahim (pbuh) to give the good news about the birth of Ishaq
(pbuh).
And then they went
to the city of Sodom, the town of Prophet Lut
(pbuh).
They reached the walls of the town in the afternoon.
They saw the Prophet Lut’s daughter, who was sitting beside the river, filling her
jug with water.
When she lifted her face and saw them, she was stunned to see very beautiful men on earth.
One of the three angels asked her: Angel: “Is there any place to rest?"
She knew the bad character of her people, so she replied, "Stay here and do not enter
until I inform my father."
Leaving her jug by the river, she quickly ran home and inform her father about that
young attractive three men at the town gate.
Lot felt worried as he quickly ran to his guests.
Animal: Did he recognize the Angels?
Yusuf: No, he could not recognize them.
He thought they were travelers, crossing this town.
He asked them where they came from and where they were going.
They did not answer his questions.
Instead they asked if he could host them.
He tried to convince them not to stay in this town because people of this town were very
bad.
Finally Lut (pbuh) requested them to wait until the night to go to his house, when no
one would see them.
As his plan, at night he guided his guests to come to his home.
The Angels inform him, that he had a very important news for him.
But prophet Lut (pbuh) told them, he don’t know them.
They inform him, they are truthful.
No one saw them but as soon as prophet Lut's wife saw them, she inform the people about
their present.
This news spread everywhere.
All people rushed to Prophet Lut's house to harm those very attractive guests.
He was surprised to see them.
When he found out that his wife informed the people about his guests, he became very sad.
Animal: She was really bad women.
Yusuf: Yes, she was really bad women.
To see all the people, He shut the door, but they kept on banging
on it.
He requested them to leave the visitors and fear Allah's punishment.
He reminded them, their wives were lawful for them.
But people of Lut (pbuh) were very arrogant and violent.
They broke down the door.
He tried to protect his guests but he was powerless in front of those violent people.
He wished for special power to protect his guests.
At that terrible moment the guests informed him that they were angels and that violent
people could not harm them.
On hearing this, all the people were terrified and fled from prophet Lut's house but they
warned him before they left.
The angels told him to leave his house before sunrise, taking with him all his family members
except his wife because she was disbeliever.
Animal: How many people were with him, when he left the town?
Yusuf: Some scholar says, no one became Muslim accept prophet lut and his two daughters.
Allah (T) decided to destroy that most corrupted sin city at the early morning with three different
punishment.
At first Allah (T) send an awful loud sound waves to shake them all.
Then the mighty power lifted the entire city, then twisted the whole city and collapsed
it on the ground.
Allah (T) turned them totally upside down.
Then finally he send his third punishment.
A storm rain of stones on the city.
Everyone and everything was destroyed, including Lot's wife.
Even today Allah (T) keeps the sign of this punishment to warn us not to do same kind
of sins what people of Lut (pbuh) used to do.
Only prophet Lut and his two daughters were saved from that big punishment.
They migrated to the town of prophet Ibrahim (pbuh) and continued to invite people to Allah
(T).
He died in Palestine and was buried near Hebron.
Animal: Wow, Allah (swt) was very angry with those people.
Animal2: That's why he send three different punishment to completely destroy that nation.
Yusuf: Yes, being the gay is the biggest sin to Allah (swt).
This is end of our prophet story today.
Insallah next time we will learn another beautiful story of
the prophets.
