Quran Verses about Prophet Lot

56 ayahs · from 9 surahs

Lot believed in Abraham and was rescued with him to the blessed land, then was sent to his own people.

The wife of Lot

  1. ضَرَبَ ٱللَّهُ مَثَلٗا لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ ٱمۡرَأَتَ نُوحٖ وَٱمۡرَأَتَ لُوطٖۖ كَانَتَا تَحۡتَ عَبۡدَيۡنِ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا صَٰلِحَيۡنِ فَخَانَتَاهُمَا فَلَمۡ يُغۡنِيَا عَنۡهُمَا مِنَ ٱللَّهِ شَيۡـٔٗا وَقِيلَ ٱدۡخُلَا ٱلنَّارَ مَعَ ٱلدَّٰخِلِينَ ١٠

    Ḍaraballāhu mathalal lil-ladhīna kafarumraʾata nūḥiw wamraʾata lūṭ, kānatā taḥta ʿabdayni min ʿibādinā ṣāliḥayni fakhānatāhumā falam yughniyā ʿanhumā minallāhi shayʾaw wa qīladkhulan-nāra maʿad-dākhilīn.

    Allāh presents an example of those who disbelieved: the wife of Noah and the wife of Lot. They were under two of Our righteous servants but betrayed them,1 so they [i.e., those prophets] did not avail them from Allāh at all, and it was said, "Enter the Fire with those who enter."
