Abstract

Lut was the son of Abraham and Haron. After the death of his people, he went to Palestine, and he died here. He was responsible for five large villages of Sodom. Most of the tribes were from his generation. Later, his future generations left the land of Palestine. He settled in Balqa. He was born in the city of Ur in Iraq, this city was also the abode of Hazrat Ibrahim (peace be upon him), when Hazrat Ibrahim (peace be upon him) migrated from his native land to Haran and then later they settled in Egypt, then Hazrat Lut (peace be upon him) was with him and it was here that Hazrat Lut (peace be upon him) was elevated to the position. It was a green and lush valley in the southern part of the Dead Sea between East Ardaq and Palestine. This area was known as Sodom and Amuda. These areas had an abundance of water, due to which the land was fertile and cultivated. It was good, there was an abundance of all kinds of fruits, vegetables and gardens. The inhabitants of these areas were living a prosperous life, and they had all the comforts of life. Iblis, who is the eternal enemy of man, used their prosperity to lead them astray, and thus the inhabitants of these towns began to consider the blessings given by Allah as their strength, and relied on their hard work. What, and they completely ignored Allah, and became displeased with arrogance. People from other villages also used to come and visit their green valleys. This was distasteful to the people of Sodom, and they considered the greenness and greenery of this valley as their property, and they did not like the residents of other regions to enjoy these blessings. It turned out that they used to rob the people who came from outside, and all their goods were stolen, thus stealth became their practice, moreover, Iblis told them to do something that would cause these people to Don't come to your settlement, Satan started the work of bad behavior, and made these people habit of bad behavior. In this way, this nation not only turned towards evil, but became a sign of Allah's lesson. This article has been written in this context.
