Z The Holy Qur'an
QURANIC STORIES: The Story of Lot
Lot lived among a people who practiced naked lewdness; they went lustfully after men instead of women. God chose him as His messenger to tell them to give up their perversity and fear Him. He told them:
[Bismillah al-rahman al-rahim] My people, ask forgiveness of your Lord and repent for your evil ways. [27:55]
But instead of listening to him, they jeered at him, calling him and his family [Bismillah al-rahman al-rahim] 'these despicable, puritan folk'. They hounded them out of the town. God rescued all of them except Lot's wife, who turned back and descided to be with the unbelievers. suddenly a rain of fire and stones fell on the inhabitants of the place and they were destroyed. The Quran reminds:
[Bismillah al-rahman al-rahim] In your travels either by morning light or the fain glimmer of the fall of night you can see their ruins as you pass by. [37:136-138]
