In Islamic sources Lot, or Lūṭ, is regarded as a prophetic messenger sent to warn the people of Sodom. The Qurʾān presents him as condemning the men of Sodom for lusting after men rather than women. Islamic interpretive traditions also connect Lot’s warning to discussions of liwāṭ, an Arabic term commonly used for sodomy and derived from Lot’s name in Arabic.
