Story of Prophet Lut (Lut Alayhis Salaam ka qissa)

ALLAH preserved the destruction of Qaume Lut with a place known as DEAD SEA.

Some facts-

● Dead sea stands as a sign of punishment by ALLAH and a lesson for believers.

● Dead sea has the lowest height on the entire earth.

●Dead Sea is the saltiest body of water in the world; it is nine times as salty as the ocean. 

●This is called Dead Sea because it is too salty that most of the animals and plants cannot exist in it except very rare species.

● It is too salty that everyone floats on it.

●The salty water of dead sea is used for many spa treatments and used in many soaps & cosmetics.

Moreover, the area caters the tourists for seeing the sites but as believers, we should avoid using such products and to visit such sites because Prophet Mohammad forbade the believers to do so (except for taking a lesson from it.)

(Mentioned in Sahi Bukhari #3380)

Qur'aan mentions-

[ALLAH ne qaume Lut ki tabahi Dead Sea (Bahre Murdaar) ki shakal mei mehfooz kardi.

•Dead sea ek tabahi ki nishani hai ALLAH ki taraf se aur ek naseehat iman walo ke liye.

•Dead sea ki uchai puri dunya me sabse nichi hai.

•Dead sea ka pani dunya ka sabse khaara/namkeen paani hai jo aam daryao ke muqable 9 gunah zyada namkeen hai.

• Ise dead sea isliye kaha jata hai kyuki iska pani itna khaara hai ke isme taqreeban saare janwaro aur podho ka rehna na mumkin hai siwaye kuch ke.

•Ye pani itna khaara hai ke sab uske upar hi upar tair sakte hai.

•Dead sea ka pani bohot se spa ilaajo ke liye, sabun banane k liye aur bohot si aur chizo mei istemal kiya jane laga hai aur is jagah ko sailaniyo (tourists) ke liye bhi ek manzar dikhane ke liye kholkar aam kardiya gaya hai lekin musalmano ko is tarah ki chize aur aisi jagaho pe jana se zyada se zyada bachna chahye kyuki ek hadith mei Nabi Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam ne hume isse mana farmaya hai (siwaye ibrat hasil karne ke liye).

Qur'aan mei aata hai ke-

" Yaqeenan isme nishaniya hai un logo ke liye jo aqal se kaam le"]
