Nation of Prophet Loot عليه السلام

The nation of Prophet Lut عليه السلام was settled in localities near Jordan and Palestine. They were openly involved in sinful acts like sodomy and robbery and had no fear of the outcome of their deeds. Prophet Lut عليه السلام came to these people as a messenger from Allah سبحانه وتعالى and advised them to refrain from disobedience of Allah سبحانه وتعالى and repent from their evil deeds. He warned them of the wrath of Allah سبحانه وتعالى if they persisted with their sinful life. In return, the people of the localities refused to accept him as a true messenger and asked him and his family to leave the town. Allah سبحانه وتعالى sent the angels who first visited Prophet Ibrahim عليه السلام and later came to see Prophet Lut عليه السلام. They advised Prophet Lut عليه السلام to leave the town with his followers during the night as they had come to destroy the townships. The torment of Allah سبحانه وتعالى descended to these townships in the form of rain of stones and then the earth under them was turned upside down. Prophet Lut عليه السلام and his family (except his wife who was partners with the wrong-doers) were saved from any harm. The story of the nation of Lut عليه السلام points out to the fact that bad deeds which involve blatant disregard of the natural laws attract the wrath of Allah سبحانه وتعالى and the punishment of such actions in this world and in the hereafter is exceptionally severe. May Allah سبحانه وتعالى keep us away from His anger and wrath and keep us on straight pathway.
