Hazrat Lot a.s
Our Prophet Abraham a.s was waiting for a guest to have food with him. He loved having guests and always welcomed them. He offered them fresh water, good yogurt, and delicious food.
Travelers loved our Prophet Abraham a.s, for he was generous, good, and polite.

One day three stout, young guests came to our Prophet Abraham a.s. He welcomed them, and rejoiced at their coming. He went quickly and brought a calf, slaughtered it, grilled it, and offered it to them. There were some customs at that time, among which was that the guest should cat the food offered to him. If he refused the food, he refused entertainment and bore malice against the entertainer.
If the guest ate the food, friendship would take place between him and the entertainer.
Our Prophet Abraham a.s offered the grilled calf to his guests. Now, a wonderful thing happened.
The guests refrained from eating the food, so Abraham was afraid of those guests.
Did the guests bear malice against Abraham? No, they did not, That is because the guests introduced themselves to him, saying: "We're Allah's angels. Allah's sent us to punish the people of Sadum.
Our Prophet Abraham a.s was sad for them. He tried to push away the punishment from the people of the villages. He thought that the people would come back to their reason.
"Lot is at the villages," explained Abraham.
"We. know that", replied the angels.
To remove the sadness from Abraham's heart, the angels gave him good news of a pious son.
Our Prophet Abraham a.s tried to discuss with the angles about the people of Lot. However, the angles said to him: "Abraham, turn away from this. Surely, the order of your Lord has come."
Abraham a.s kept silent. Then the angels went to the people of Sadum to punish them.
Our Prophet Abraham lived in the land of Babylon. He summoned his people to believe in Allah and to refrain from worshipping idols, but the people disbelieved in Abraham's message.
No one believed our Prophet Abraham a.s except his wife Sarah a.s, and his cousin Lot (AS).
When our Prophet Abraham a.s left the land of Babylon, Lot accompanied him.
Thus, Lot a.s abandoned his home land. When they arrived in the land of Sadum, Prophet Abraham a.s ordered Lot a.s to live in that village. He ordered him to summon its people to believe in Allah and to refrain from worshipping idols. The story of Lot (AS) began in the village of Sadum. Our Prophet Lot a.s belonged to the land of Babylon, and he believed in our Prophet Abraham. When the people of Babylon wanted to bum our Prophet Abraham a.s, Lot a.s said: "I'm going to my Lord!" So he emigrated with Abraham a.s to the Holy Land, Palestine.
On their way to Palestine, Abraham a. s ordered Lot a.s to live in the land of Sadum. He ordered him to invite its people to believe in Allah's religion and to return to their nature.
Sadum was a group of villages on the coast of the Dead Sea in Jordan. There lived our Prophet Lot (AS). He married, and Allah gave him believing daughters.
