![]() ![]() When the people got wind of the visit of charming boys they tried to invade the house of Prophet Lut (peace be upon him) and demanded of him to deliver the guests to them. The Prophet Lut (peace be upon him) and his followers were directed to leave the town because something very dreadful was going to happen. One day, three angels in the disguise of handsome young boys came to Prophet Lut (peace be upon him) and they conveyed to him a special message from Almighty Allah. They were shamelessly addicted to grave sins and his warnings simply exasperated them. Gradually time passed by and the Prophet Lut (peace be upon him) did not achieve remarkable success on reforming those sinful persons. My Lord! save me and my household from what they do." (Surah 26: Verses 167-169) He said: I am, in fact, of those who hate your conduct. The same idea is expressed in the following Verses: "They said: If you desist not, O' Lut, you will soon be of the outcast. They are folk who seek to keep pure." (Surah 7: Verse 82) ![]() The Holy Quran affirms: "And the answer of his people was only that they said (to one another): Turn them out of your township. They retorted that he would be expelled from that town in case he did not stop preaching and rebuking them. They ridiculed and threatened him of dire consequences. They did not listen to the admonitions of their Prophet. He told them that God had created woman for them to satisfy their lust. He advised the people to guard themselves against the punishment from God. He began to preach the religion of God energetically. The Prophet Lut (peace be upon him) was an alien to those people. It says: "What? Do you not come to males and commit robbery on the highways and do evil deeds in your meeting?" (Surah 29: Verse 29) The Prophet Lut Preaches and is Opposed In another Verse the Holy Quran throws a light on the character of those sinning people. Nay, but you are wanton folk." (Surah 7: Verses 80-81) Lo! you come with lust unto men instead of women. The Holy Quran says: "And Lut (remember) when he said to his folk: Will you commit abomination such as no creature ever did before. He was commanded to leave his native land and go to Sodom and Gomorra to warn and reform the people who were indulged in grave sins such as homosexual intercourse and robbery. He was the resident of Ur, an ancient town in Mesopotamia. He was a nephew and follower of the Faith of his uncle. The Prophet Lut (peace be upon him) was contemporary of Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him).
