11:81 - (The Messengers) said "O Lut! we are Messengers from thy Lord! By no means shall they
reach thee! Now travel with thy family while yet a part of the night remains and let not any of
you look back: but thy wife (will remain behind): to her will happen what happens to the
people. Morning is their time appointed: is not the morning nigh?" 1577
1577 Even in Lot's household was one who detracted from the harmony of the family. She was disobedient to her husband,
and he was here obeying Allah's Command. She looked back and shared the fate of the wicked inhabitants of the
Cities of the Plain: see also lxvi. 10. The Biblical narrative suggests that she was turned into a pillar of salt (Gen. xix.
26). (11.81)
15:60 - "Except his wife who we have ascertained will be among those who will lag behind." 1987
1987 See xi. 81, and n. 1577. (15.60)
29:32 - He said: "But there is Lut there." They said: "Well do we know who is there: we will certainly
save him and his following except his wife: she is of those who lag behind!" 3454
3454 She was not loyal to her husband. Tradition says that she belonged to the wicked people, and was not prepared to
leave them. She had no faith in the mission either of her husband or of the angels who had come as his guests.
(29.32)
29:33 - And when Our Messengers came to Lut he was grieved on their account and felt himself
powerless (to protect) them: but they said "Fear thou not nor grieve: we are (here) to save
thee and thy following except thy wife: she is of those who lag behind. 3455
3455 This part of the story may be read in greater detail in xi. 77-83. (29.33)
NOAH‟S WIFE:
66:10 - Allah sets forth for an example to the Unbelievers the wife of Noah and the wife of Lut: they
were (respectively) under two of Our righteous servants but they were false to their
(husbands) and they profited nothing before Allah on their account but were told: "Enter ye the
fire along with (others) that enter!" 554655475548
5546 Read Noah's story in xi. 36-48. Evidently his contemporary world had got so corrupt that it needed a great Flood to
purge it. "None of the people will believe except those who have believed already. So grieve no longer over their evil
deeds." But there were evil ones in his own family. A foolish and undutiful son is mentioned in xi. 42-46. Poor Noah
tried to save him and pray for him as one "of his family"; but the answer came: "he is not of thy family; for his conduct
is unrighteous". We might expect such a son to have a mother like him, and here we are told that it was so. Noah's
wife was also false to the standards of her husband, and perished in this world and in the Hereafter. (66.10)
5547 The wife of Lot has already been mentioned more than once. See xi. 81, and n. 1577; vii. 83, and n. 1051; etc. The
world around her was wicked, and she sympathised with and followed that wicked world, rather than her righteous
husband. She suffered the fate of her wicked world. (66.10)
5548 "Betrayed their husbands": not in sex, but in the vital spiritual matters of truth and conduct. They had the high
privilege of the most intimate relationship with the noblest spirits of their age: but if they failed to rise to the height of
their dignity, their relationship did not save them. They could not plead that they were the wives of pious husbands.
They had to enter Hell like any other wicked women. There is personal responsibility before Allah. One soul cannot
claim the merits of another, any more than one pure soul can be injured by association with a corrupt soul. The pure
one should keep its purity intact. See the next two examples. (66.10)
