The Story of Lut

According to Islamic tradition, Lut lived in Ur and was a nephew of Ibrahim(Abraham). His story is often used as a reference by traditional Islamic scholars to show that homosexuality is haram ("unlawful"). He was commanded by God to go to the land of Sodom and Gomorra to preach to his people on monotheism (the belief that there is only one God) and to stop them from their sinful acts. Such acts include practicing all acts of indecency (public orgies, aggressiveness) in their public places of assembly and meetings. They also used to kill and rob travellers, cheat their friends and cut off the highway (waylay). As mentioned in the Qur'an as well as in the Bible, Lut's messages are ignored by his people, Sodom and Gomorra were destroyed and his wife also was left behind to be destroyed. However, this does not mean that his wife used to practice homosexuality but worshipped what her people used to worship (i.e she was a polytheist).

Qur'an and Bible

The major difference between the story of Lut in the Qur'an and the story of Lot in the Bible is that the Biblical version includes stories of Lot's incestuous relationship with his daughters, which are denied in Islam.
