Historical references
Lut (Lot) is mentioned in the Quran and the Bible as a prophet and a resident of the ancient city of Sodom. He is known for his hospitality and strict monotheism, which led him to warn his people against committing sin and engaging in homosexuality. The people of Sodom rejected his warnings and threatened to expel or kill him and his family. In anger, God sent two angels to Lut in the form of men, whom the people of Sodom intended to assault. Lut generously offered his three guests his own daughters instead, but they were spared when God destroyed the city and its inhabitants with heavy rain and brimstone.
