Do you have a text about the story of Prophet Lot?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The summary of the story of Lot (peace be upon him) is that his people did not respond to his call to worship Allah and abandon indecencies. Rather, they persisted in their transgression, and their obstinacy reached the point of threatening him with expulsion, saying: "Drive out the family of Lot from your city. Indeed, they are people who keep themselves pure" (An-Naml: 56). They used to waylay travelers and commit abominations, and they did not desist despite admonition. They challenged Lot by demanding punishment. So Lot invoked his Lord against them, and Allah sent angels to Abraham to give him glad tidings and to destroy Lot's people. Then Allah made the highest part of their city its lowest and rained down upon them stones of layered hard clay, as a retribution for their criminality.
