He was sent to the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah as a prophet, and was commanded to preach to their inhabitants on monotheism and the sinfulness of homosexuality and their lustful and violent acts.

Though Lut was not born among the people he’d been sent to preach to, the people of Sodom are still regarded as his “brethren” in the Quran. Like the Biblical narrative, the Quran states that Lut’s messages were ignored by the inhabitants of the cities, and Sodom and Gomorrah were subsequently destroyed. 

While the Quran does not elaborate upon Lut’s later life, Islam holds that all prophets were examples of moral and spiritual ‘righteousness’.

Alongside Hud, Saleh and Muhammad(Peace be upon them), Shuaib is understood by Muslims as one of the 4 Arabian prophets sent by God. It is said that he was known by Muslims as “the eloquent preacher amongst the prophets”, because he was, according to tradition, granted talent and eloquence in his language.
