There are many anecdote mentioned in Al Qur'an of the people of the bygone times and their fate for their ungratefulness. While majority of stories relate to the mankind, there are many a mention of women that have been part of the theological history. Though many women are mentioned, they are usually identified by their relationships, such as "the wife of..." or "the mother of..." rather than their proper names, adhering to the Arab tradition of the time. The only woman mentioned by name is Maryam (Mary), mother of Prophet Eesa عليه السلام.
Besides Maryam, the Quran often uses specific women to highlight virtues or lessons, such as the unfaithful wife of Noah, wife of Abu Lahab and the betraying wife of Prophet Lot (Lūṭ عليه السلام) as examples of disbelief, versus Mary and the wife of Pharaoh as examples of faith. Despite having such good fortunes and such close relations with Allah’s (SWT) prophets, the wives of Prophet Noah and Lot, AS, chose not to benefit from Allah’s(SWT) infinite mercy and blessings. They incurred Allah’s (SWT) wrath by their own actions and brought it upon themselves.
There is also a mention of Queen Sheba along with mention of Prophet Sulaiman, AS. We have already published an exclusive post on Maryam: Women in Quran - Maryam (Mary) - Mother of Prophet Eesa (Jesus). Today through this post, we talk about the devastating fate of betraying wife of Prophet Lot (Lūṭ عليه السلام), who betrayed her pious husband and prophet of Allah and sided with her people who lived a life of utter disgust in a place where shame had died and indecency mocked the mankind.
We have already published a detailed account of the curse of homosexuality in which the people of Prophet Lūṭ عليه السلام have indulged in our earlier post: Prophet Lut (Lot) and Allah's Wrath on his People. Herein under we intend showing our readers an AI generated video exclusively made about the betraying wife of Prophet Lūṭ عليه السلام to graphically show the fate of his wife and people after they refused to life an honourable life and failed the Divine test.
Before we share the video, herein under is just a summary of the complete anecdote that resulted into the Divine wrath on the wicked people who lived in the ancient city of Sodom. The Qur’an presents the story as a moral and spiritual warning:
Prophet Lūṭ عليه السلام was sent to a people who openly practiced grave immorality, rejected divine guidance, and mocked reform despite clear admonition. Lūṭ عليه السلام called them to purity, repentance, and obedience to Allah, but they persisted in denial and hostility. Although his wife lived in the same household as a prophet, she did not share his faith; instead, she sided inwardly with the wrongdoing society and betrayed the mission by supporting the disbelievers (not through marital infidelity, but through belief and loyalty). When Allah’s decree came, the believers were saved while the town was destroyed, and Lūṭ’s wife perished with the disbelievers, demonstrating that nearness to righteousness by relationship does not save anyone—only faith and obedience do (cf. 7:80–84, 11:77–83, 26:160–175, 66:10).
* The photo used in the caption of a statue is attributed in the history books as that of the wife of Prophet Lūṭ عليه السلام who turned into ashes and was frozen on the ground when she tried to look back to see the Divine wrath falling on her people despite the warning that no one would look back.
Herein under now watch the AI generated video of the wicked life of people of Sodom and the fate of their life along with the betraying wife of Prophet Lūṭ عليه السلام:
The purpose of sharing such anecdotes of disbelief, betrayal and wickedness is to impress upon the notion that a pious woman can live with a disbelieving husband (like wife o Pharaoh) and still preserve her faith in one true God, while wicked and unfaithful wives, like wives of Prophets Noah and Lot, could not benefit from the teachings of their pious husbands and were perished and remain noted in the history books as an example of betrayal and Divine punishment. This story is one of the darkest chapters in human history — a story Allah preserved in the Qur’an as a warning until the Last Day.
