This is a presentation for kids about the story of Prophet Lut and the People of Sodom. His people invented the act of homosexualtity and were punished for their sins.
2. Lut’s people
& Location
Lut’s relationship to
Prophet Ibraheem
Prophet Lut & Prophet Ibraheem
During this time, Prophet Ibrahim was also alive.
Some narrations say that he was the uncle of P. Lut.
Ibrahim was a very old man and his son Ishaq had not
been born yet. He didn’t think he was going to have
any children because of his age and the age of his
wife.
Prophet Lut was sent to a place
called Sodom (Sodom and
Gommorah) which is in current day
Jordan, on the edge of the Dead
Sea
Sodom
3. One day, 3 handsome men
came to P. Ibraheem’s home
His wife was listening and she was so
surprised because of their old age, but the
Angels told her- Allah can do anything and
you will have a son named Ishaq.
We are the Angels
of Allah - here to tell
you that you are
going to have a child

4. Propeht Ibrahim was very soft hearted. He asked
Allah to please give Lut’s people more chances,
but Allah told him that their chances were up and
their punishment was going to come and would
not be stopped.

Why were the Angels sent to destroy Lut’s people?
What is their story?
What is their sin?

5. Allah put certain desires in us , but he gave us halal ways to fulfill them.
Lut’s people did not want the halal, natural way… they invented the sin
of homosexuality, and they were proud of it and spread it in their
community. The men refused to marry the women of the community,
and instead had relationships among one another.

Prophet Lut was sent to guide his people.
They were the most corrupt people of the time.
They invented a sin that nobody had committed before- a sin that goes against human nature.
They warned Lut that if he didn’t stop preaching to them,
they would kick him out of the city.
6. Prophet Lut prepared a meal for them. The men would not
touch the food (because they were Angels and Angels do not
eat).
Suddenly the men of the community came rushing to Lut’s
home and started banging on his door and Lut yelled for
them to come out.
P. Lut was so embarrassed. He yelled out to his people:
“Do not embarrass me in front of my guests.
Isn’t there a single righteous man among you??” َي ۟واُناَك ُلْبَق نِم َو ِهْيَلِإ َُونع َرْهُي ُۥهُم ْوَق ۥُهَءٰٓاَج َو

Prophet Lut was home one day when some handsome young men came
to visit the city of Sodom. Lut’s daughters saw them and ran to tell their
father. Lut was so worried that the people of the community would see
them and come attack them in their perverted ways.
He quickly invited them to his home and tried to hide them from the
public, but his evil wife went and told them about the handsome guests.
7. The men told Lut that they were Angels of Allah in disguise and not to worry-
his community would not be able to hurt them .
They had come to let P. Lut know that Allah’s punishment was coming to his
people. The punishment was going to come the next morning.
Lut and his family were ordered to leave the city before morning came.
However, his wife would not be allowed to escape with them because she was
an evil woman who encouraged the homosexual actions of the men of the city.

The handsome men spoke up:
8. The Punishment
The next morning, the city of Sodom shook
violently.
Angel Jibreel lifted the entire city with the tip of
his wing and flipped it upside down!
Then Allah sent clay stones from the sky that
rained down and buried whatever was left behind.
ف
ٰـَع َانْلَعَج َانُرْمَأ َءٰٓاَج اَّمَل
َطْمَأ َو اَهَلِفاَس اَهَيِل
َان ْر

ودَُن
In the place of the city of Sodom is the Dead Sea, a body of
water that is so salty that no living creature can live inside of it.
This is the place of a people that were cursed by Allah and
Prophet Muhammad (S) advised us not to visit such places,
except to reflect on the lessons learned.
9. Islam’s view on Homosexuality
1. Any sexual relationships outside of those sanctioned by the Qur’an and Sunnah
between a man and woman is haram. Allah created us and our bodies and He knows
which relationships are beneficial and which are harmful to us and the society.
2. Desires are not sinful as long as they are not acted upon, and people should not be
identified with or ostracized because of their desires.
3. Same-sex actions are haram and are serious sins, but they do not take the sinner
out of the fold of Islam.
(As long as they do not claim that what is haram is halal and vice versa.)
4. We should show all people the beauty of the Prophetic way.
We do not celebrate or support what Allah has prohibited, nor do we mistreat those
who do not follow the correct teachings.
5. The story of Prophet Lut is mentioned in all the Heavenly Books and homosexuality
is not permissible in any of them.
