The wife of Lut

Who sided with her peopleAge of Ibrahim

Relied onHer people's ways

Undone byThe fate she chose

She lived in a prophet's house but sided with the people of Sodom. The commentators say she let them know when guests came to Lut.

How it ended

Lut was told to leave by night with his family, except his wife: 'she will be struck by that which strikes them' (11:81).

Allah 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, so those prophets did not avail them from Allah at all, and it was said, "Enter the Fire with those who enter."
