The Guests of Ibrahim

هود

Lut السالم لوط و الصالة عليه

The Guests of IbrahimAnd verily, there came Our messengers to Ibrahim with glad tidings. They said: Salam He answered, Salam and he hastened to entertain them with a roasted calf.But when he saw their hands went not towards it (the meal), he mistrusted them, and conceived a fear of them. They said: "Fear not, we have been sent against the people of Lut“ {And his wife was standing (there), and she laughed. But We gave her glad tidings of Ishaq (Isaac), and after Ishaq, of Ya'qub (Jacob). She said (in astonishment): "Woe unto me! Shall I bear a child while I am an old woman, and here is my husband an old man? Verily! This is a strange thing!"They said: "Do you wonder at the Decree of Allah? The Mercy of Allah and His Blessings be on you, O the family [of

Ibrahim. Surely, He (Allah) is All-Praiseworthy, All-Glorious.“}Then when the fear had gone away from (the mind of) Ibrahim, and the glad tidings had reached him, he (Ibrahim) began to plead with Us (Our messengers) for the people of Lut.Verily, Ibrahim was indeed forbearing, compassionate, used to invoking Allah with humility, and was repentant (to Allah all the time, again and again)."O Ibrahim! Forsake this. Indeed, the Commandment of your Lord has gone forth. Verily, there will come a torment for them which cannot be turned back."

Lut السالم لوط و الصالة عليه

And when Our messengers came to Lut, he was grieved on account of them and felt himself straitened for them (and felt himself powerless). He said: "This is a distressful day."And his people came rushing towards him, and since aforetime they used to commit sins, he said: "O my people! Here are my daughters (i.e. the women of the nation), they are purer for you (if you marry them lawfully). So fear Allah and disgrace me not with regard to my guests! Is there not among you a single right-minded man?"They said: "Surely you know that we have neither any desire nor need of your daughters, and indeed you know well what we want!"He said: "Would that I had strength (men) to overpower you, or that I could betake myself to some powerful support (to resist you)."

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "We are more liable to be in doubt than Abraham when he said, 'My Lord! Show me how You give life to the dead." . He (i.e. Allah) said: 'Don't you believe then?' He (i.e. Abraham) said: "Yes, but (I ask) in order to be stronger in Faith." (2.260) And may Allah send His Mercy on Lot! He indeed resorted to powerful support (i.e. Allah). If I were to stay in prison for such a long time as Joseph did I would have accepted the offer (of freedom without insisting on having my guiltless less declared)." Bukhari and Muslim

Lut السالم لوط و الصالة عليه

They (messengers) said: "O Lut ! Verily, we are the messengers from your Lord! They shall not reach you! So travel with your family in a part of the night, and let not any of you look back; but your wife (will remain behind or will look back), verily, the punishment which will afflict them, will afflict her. Indeed, morning is their appointed time. Is not the morning near?"

هود

Lut السالم لوط و الصالة عليه

Allah sets forth an example for those who disbelieve: the wife of Nooh (Noah) and the wife of Lut (Lot). They were under two of our righteous slaves, but they both betrayed them (their husbands by rejecting their doctrine). So they [Nooh and Lut] availed them not (their respective wives) with Allah and it was said: "Enter the Fire along with those who enter!"

The people of Lut (Lot) belied the warnings.Verily, We sent against them a violent storm of stones (which destroyed them all), except the family of Lut (Lot), them We saved in the last hour of the night,As a Favor from Us. Thus do We reward him who gives thanks (by obeying Us).And he [Lut] indeed had warned them of Our Seizure (punishment), but they did doubt the warnings!And they indeed sought to shame his guest (by forcing them to commit sodomy). So We blinded their eyes, (saying) "Then taste you My Torment and My Warnings."And verily, an abiding torment seized them early in the morning.
