Loth

In the Genesis

After having left Ur in company of Abraham, Loth arrives on the edges of the the Jordan. They separate: Abraham remains in the Pays of Canaan and Loth goes down with its herds towards the plain from the Jordan at the end of which Sodome is. During wars between local kinglets, Loth is made prisoner. Abraham comes to its help and brings back it to Sodome. God reveals in Abraham his decision to destroy Sodome and Gomorrhe which became places of perversion. Abraham then starts to intercede near God to avoid this destruction. Abraham approached and says: “Will you Also make perish the Juste with the malicious one? Perhaps there are fifty right in the city. Will you make them perish too? You at the city because of the fifty right ones will not forgive which is in the middle of it?.

The intercession stops on the many ten right to save Sodome of the destruction. Two angels arrive at Sodome, they are accommodated by Loth in its house. Sodomites, having heard of two foreigners recently made downtown, knock on the door of Loth to meet them with an aim of having sexual relationships with them. Loth protects the angels by proposing even his/her daughters in their place. Established with Sodome, Loth informs its people of the punishment which it incurs because of his practice of turpitudes and sodomy. Its people reject it and their city is destroyed. The angels involve Loth, his wife and her two daughters apart from the city before her destruction. They take refuge in the morning in a small town called Tsoar. The angels give the instruction not to be turned over towards Sodome at the time of the destruction of this city. In spite of this warning, the wife of Loth is turned over and is changed into salt statue. The two cities of the plain are destroyed. Loth and its daughters will take refuge in a cave of the mountain. The history of the woman of Loth, changed into salt statue to have looked at behind, evokes the saline blocks with the strange shapes of the edges of the Dead Sea.

After having fled Sodome, Loth is thus found only in a cave with his/her two daughters: The elder one said to young person: “Our father is old; and there is man in the region, to come towards us, according to the use of all the countries. Come, make drink wine with our father, and sleep with him, so that we preserve the race of our father”. They thus made drink wine with their father this night; and the elder one went to sleep with his/her father. He realized neither when it lay down, nor when it rose. The following day, the elder one called to young person: “Here, I laid down last night with my father; let us make still drink wine to him this night, and will sleep with him, so that we preserve the race of our father”.

They made still drink wine with their father this night; and the junior went to sleep with him. He realized neither when she lay down, nor when she rose. The two girls of Loth became pregnant of their father. The elder one gave birth to a son, whom it called of the name of Moab. It is the father of the Moabites, so far. Young person gave birth to also a son, whom it called of the name of Ben-Ammil. It is the father of the Am ites, so far.

Loût according to Islam

It believed in the prophecy of his/her uncle Ibrahim

Allah said: “ Lot believed in him. ” (29/26)

While his wife is non-believer, and is among people of fire

Allah said: “ Allah quoted in parabola for those which have mécru the woman of Noah and the woman of Batch. They were under the authority of two virtuous Our servants. Both betrayed them and they were not of any help for two women with respect to Allah. And it was known as: " Enter to Fire both, with those which there entrent" ” (66/10)

It is selected to become itself Prophète

Allah said: “ And Lot. was, certainly, number of the Messengers. ” (37/133)

It is thus sent to its people which make a sin ever seen until there

Allah said: “ And Lot, when he says to his people: " You deliver to this turpitude that no one, among the worlds, did not make before you? 81. Admittedly, you appease your carnal desires with the men instead of the women! You are well people outrancier." ” (7/80-81)

Allah said: “ the people of Batch treated liars the Messengers, when their Lot brother says to them: " Won't you fear? I am for you a messenger worthy of confidence. Thus fear Allah and obey me. I do not ask you for wages for that; my wages fall only to the Lord of the universe. Do you achieve the carnal act with the males of this world? And do you forsake the wives whom your Lord created for you? But you are only transgresseurs" people;. ” (26/160-166)

Allah said: “ points out to them Lot, when he says to his people: " You deliver yourselves to turpitude whereas you see clair". You go to the men instead of women to appease your desires? You are rather ignorant people. ” (27/54-55)

Allah said: “ And Lot, when he says to his people: " Really, you make turpitude where no one in the universe did not precede you. Will you have trades carnal with males? Will you practice the armed robbery? Will you make the blâmable in your assembly? " ” (29/28-29)

It receives the visit of the angels which passed before to see his/her uncle IbrâHîm

Allah said: “ And when Our emissary (Angels) came to Lot, he was grained for them, and a great embarrassment tested some. And he says: " Here a terrible" day;. ” (11/77)

Allah said: “ Then when the envoys came near the family from Batch. this one known as: " You are me inconnus" people;. - They said: " We rather came to you while bringing (the punishment) by the way of which they doubted. And we come to you with the truth. And we are veracious. ” (15/61-64)

Allah said: “ And when Our angels came to Lot, it was afflicted for them, and felt unable to protect them. ” (29/33)

By seeing these angels descended under human form, its people requires of him to let it do what it has desire for making

Allah said: “ As for its people, they came to him, running. Previously they made ill deeds. ” (11/78)

Allah said: “ And the inhabitants of the city (Sodome) came him in the joy. ” (15/67)

It tries to reason them

Allah said: “ It says: " O my people, here my daughters: they are purer for you. Thus fear Allah, and do not dishonor me in my hosts. There is not among you a reasonable man? " They said: You know very well that we do not have the right on your daughters. And in truth, you know well what us voulons". 80. He says: " ! if I had force to resist to you! or if I found a support solid! " ” (11/78-80)

Allah said: “ - He says: " Those are my hosts, thus do not dishonor me. And fear Allah. And do not cover me ignominie. They said: " Hadn't we prohibited you of world? " He says: " Here my daughters, if you want to make thing! " ” (15/68-71)

Its people requires to see the punishment

Allah said: “ But its people only made of another answer: " Fact that the punishment of Allah comes us, if you are number of the véridiques". He says: " Lord, gives me victory over these people of corrupters! " ” (29/29-30)

Then its people decides to expel it

Allah said: “ They said: " If you ceases not, Batch, you will be certainly number of the expulsés". ” (26/167)

Allah said: “ And for any answer, its people did nothing but say: " Expel to them your city. They are people who want to keep purs" ! ” (7/82)

Allah said: “ Then its people had only this answer: " Expel your city the family of Batch! Because they are people who affect the purity. ” (27/56)

It then requires of Allah to save it

Allah said: “ It says: " I hate really what you made. Lord, saves me like my family of what they font". ” (26/168-169)

It required protection only of Allah

According to Abou Hourayra (رضياللهعنه), the Envoy of Allah said: " That Allah makes mercy with Loth because (in the adversity) he sought refuge near a solid support (Allah) ". (Mouslim n°216)

the angels then requires of him to leave the city before the paddle, and Allah saved to him the evil of its people

Allah said: “ Alors hosts said: " O Batch, we are really the emissary of your Lord. They will be able to never reach you. Leave with your family at one time the night. And that no one among you is not turned over behind. Except your wife who will be reached by what will strike the others. What threatens them will be achieved at dawn. Isn't the paddle close? " ” (11/81)

Allah said: “ thus Leave with your family at the end of the night and are their backs; and that no one among you is not turned over. And go where one you it commande". And We announced this order to him: that these people-there, in the morning, will be destroyed until the last. ” (15/65-66)

Allah said: “ saved We it then, him and all its family, except an old woman who among was exterminated. ” (26/170-171)

Allah said: “ They said to him: " Do not fear anything and does not afflict you… We will save you like your family, except your wife who will be among those which will perish. We will make fall from the sky a punishment on the inhabitants of this city, for their perversité". ” (29/33-34)

It moves then towards Palestine

Allah said: “ And saved We it, like Lot, towards a ground which We had blessed for all the universe. ” (21/71)

a stone rain reaches all its people as his wife who was non-believer

Allah said: “ But, We saved it, him and its family, except his wife who among was exterminated. And We made thus rain on them a Regarde rain what was the end of the criminals! ” (7/83-84)

Allah said: “ And, when Our order came, We reversed quoted basic in roof, and made rain on it masses some, of the clay stones succeeding the ones the others, carrying a known mark of your Lord. And they (these stones) are not far from the unjust ones. ” (11/82-83)

Allah said: “ Then We destroyed the others; and We made rain on them a rain (of stones). And what a fatal rain for those which are informed! Here well there a wonder. However, the majority of them do not believe. ” (26/172-174)

Allah said: “ saved We it like his family, except her wife for whom We had determined that it would be number of exterminated. And We were to rain on them a rain (of stones). And what a bad rain that of prevented people! ” (27/57-58)

Allah said: “ When We saved it, him and its family, very whole, except an old woman who was to disappear with the others, and We destroyed the others ” (37/134-136)

Allah left only ruins of this city so that people can think of the fate of the corrupters

Allah said: “ And certainly, We left (ruins of this city) a sign (of warning) obvious for people who include/understand. ” (29/35)

Allah said: “ And you pass certainly near them the morning and the night. Don't you thus reason? ” (37/137-138)

Its merits

Allah said: “ And Lot! We brought the capacity to judge and the knowledge to him, and saved We it city where the defects were made; these people were really people of the evil, of the perverts. And made We enter it in Our mercy. It was really number of people of the good. ” (21/74-75)
