"The people of Lut rejected the apostles. Behold! Their brother Lut said to them: Wiii you not fear (God)? I am to you a messenger worthy of trust, so fear God and obey me. No reward do I ask you for it, my reward is only from the Lord of the Worlds. Of all the creatures of the world will you approach males, and leave those whom God has created for you to be your mates? Nay: you are a people transgressing (all limits). They said: If you desist not, O Lut, you will be assuredly cast out. He said: I do detest your doing. ..O my Lord! Deliver me and my family from such things as they do. So We delivered him and his family, all except an old woman who lingered behind. But the rest We destroyed utterly. We rained down on them a shower, and evil was the shower on those who were admonished (but heeded not). Verily in this is a sign: but most of them do not believe." (26: 160-174) "We also (sent) Lut. He said to his people: do you commit lewdness such as no people (in creation) ever committed before you? .for you practise your lust on men in preference to women; you are indeed a people transgressing beyond bounds. And his people gave no answer but this: Drive them out of your city they are indeed people who want to be clean and pure. But We saved him and his family except his wife; she was of those who lagged behind. And we rained down on them a shower, then sea what was the end of those who indulged in the crime." (7:80-84) "When Our messengers came to Lut, he was grieved on their account and felt powerless to protect them and he said: this is a distressful day. His people came rushing towards him and they had been long in the habit ofpractising abominations. He said: O my people here are my daughters; they are purer for you (if you would marry). Now fear God and cover me not with shame about my guests is there not amongst you a single right-minded man? They said: You well knew we have no need of your daughters, and you know quite well what we want. He said: I wish I had power to suppress you or that I could take to a powerful refuge. (The messengers) said: O Lut, we are messengers from your Lord by no means shall they reach you. Now travel with your family while yet a part of the night remains, and let not any of you look back but your wife (will remain behind), to her will happen what happens to these people. Morning is their time; appointed is not morning soon (enough)? When Our decree issued, We turned (the city) upside down, and rained down on them brimstones hard as baked clay, spread layer on layer, marked as from your Lord, now are they ever far from those who do wrong." (11:77-83)
