A Qur’an-based profile. Historical dates and later reports are not added without an identified source.
Lut is a messenger whose account concerns a community’s grave wrongdoing, rejection of warning and treatment of his guests. The story connects moral accountability with the rescue of the faithful.
Life and mission
The Qur’an records his rebuke of his people’s conduct and the threats directed against his household. Angelic visitors arrive in the form of guests, and Lut is distressed by the danger he anticipates. He is instructed to depart with his family, with an exception concerning his wife. The passages should be read carefully rather than used to invent historical details or to justify mistreatment of people today.
Family and relationships
His wife and daughters are mentioned, without personal names, in the Qur’anic narratives. The wife’s exclusion from rescue is explicitly stated. These references do not supply a complete family genealogy.
Narrative timeline
These stages follow the Qur’anic presentation; they are not a dated historical chronology.
01 — Warning to his community
02 — Arrival of the guests and threat from the people
03 — Instruction to leave
04 — Rescue and judgment
Signs and miracles
The angelic visitors, rescue and judgment form the narrative’s principal divine interventions. Archaeological identifications of the locations require evidence beyond the narrative itself.
