Lot / Lut / Lot

The nephew of Abraham who settled in Sodom and was rescued by angels before God destroyed the city for its wickedness. His story is found in strikingly similar detail across all three Abrahamic scriptures. In Islam, Lut is a prophet who preached against the corruption of his people for years before the divine judgment, and his story carries a strong moral message about the consequences of ignoring divine commands.
