![]() ![]() Quran also draws the attention of Muslims towards Lut (AS)’s wife and labeled her as “Example of Unbelievers”, because she was married to a righteous man and she cheated on him. The explanation of Lut (AS) holds the most area of Quran. This was immensely helpful for me.As per Islamic view, he was the Son of “Haran” and nephew of Ibrahim (AS), also known as Abraham. May Allah bless u for your dedication to seek the truth. Many many thanks for this very well studied information, dear sis. ![]() "Becca" or "Bakkah" means 'narrow valley.' But whether or not these people lived in Al-Mutafikah is again only known to Allah alone.Īnd btw, yes, "Becca" or "Bakkah" is the ancient name of the town of Makkah. We also know for sure by reading several Quranic verses that the men of the village of Prophet Lut indulged in same gender relationships. Whether or not it was the village of Prophet Lut, only Allah Almighty knows best. The conclusion is: As for the name of Prophet Lut's village is concerned, we can only go as far as the Quran has stated, that there was a community known as Al-Mutafikah. Since the altered Bibles has given the name of "Sodom" to one of these villages, therefore it's from this name that homosexual relationships are commonly referred to as "sodomy" in the English language even in modern times. We know for sure from the Noble Quran that the people living in the village of Prophet Lut indulged in homosexual relationships because of which Allah Almighty destroyed them. Hence, Pickthall mentions the possibility of "Al-Mutafikah" being the village of Lut in the footnote.Īccording to the guesswork of the Hebrew Bible, "Sodom and Gomorrah" were supposed to be situated near the Jordan river. Whether or not it was really the village of Prophet Lut is only known to Allah. It's very pathetic that many translators of the Quran (except Pickthall) are using these Biblical terms when the actual name of the village is clearly mentioned in Verse 53:53. ![]() "Sodom and Gomorrah" have typically originated from the book of Genesis of the altered Bible and from there it spread into the Hebrew Bible as well. "And He destroyed the Overthrown Cities (of Sodom and Gomorrah)"(Yusuf Ali) "And He destroyed the overthrown cities " (Mohsen Khan) I quote their incorrect translations below: The original Arabic mentions the term "Al-Mutafikah" and yet these two translators have specifically ignored this term in their translations and have instead written the names of villages as stated in the altered Bibles. Surprisingly enough (or should I say not too surprisingly), translators like Mohsin Khan and Yusuf Ali in their translations have picked those same names which the Bibles have suggested as communities of Prophet Lut, that is, "Sodom and Gomorrah." They have mentioned these names in brackets, and I don't know why. Needless to say, NOT reliable information at all. The altered Bible has mentioned names of two places claiming them as communities where Prophet Lut supposedly lived. ![]() But this information is borrowed from the altered Bibles and is not at all reliable. Some tafsir writers say that Prophet Lut lived in the area now known as Jordan. No one knows where exactly this place was situated. But it is presumed that the name of the village of Lut was called "Al-Mutafikah" as mentioned in Verse 53:53 of Surah An-Najm. Yes, the community of Prophet Lut is not directly mentioned in the Quran. Any idea in which region Prophet Lut lived and what was the name of his community? Prophet Abraham of course spent most of his time in Makkah which at that time was probably known as "Becca." But I don't think the Quran mentions the name of the community of Prophet Lut who was apparently a contemporary of Prophet Abraham, and probably also a relative or acquaintance of Abraham. Prophet Saleh belonged to Thamud, Prophet Hud belonged to Aad, Shuaib to Midian etc. In the Noble Quran the villages or towns of most ancient Prophets are mentioned e.g. ![]()
