Two Prophets in the Holy Quran Whose Wives Betrayed Them.

Noah A.S & Lut A.S.

Allah says in Qur’an:

Allah has given examples of disbelievers: wives of Noah & Lut who married two of Our righteous servants, but betrayed them. Their husbands could not help them against Allah: it was said,’Both of you enter the Fire with the others. [66:10]

Noah A.S’s wife:

Noah A.S’s wife also died as a blasphemer. Nuh A.S’s wife is cited in the Qur’an in Surah-Tahrim. Noah A.S’s wife betrayed him by not believing in him. She would tell the people that her husband was crazy.

And then she was destroyed by flood.

Lut A.S’s wife:

No one responded to call of Lut A.S and believed except for the members of his family, and even in his household, not all the members believed. Lut A.S’s wife, like Noah A.S’s wife, was a disbeliever.

So We saved him and his family, all except an old woman (this wife of lut A.S) among those who remained behind.”

Qur’an: 26:160-171

When the angels (who came as handsome men) came into city of Lut A.S, lut A.S’s wife informed the people of the town about strangers.

Then at the time of dawn people of the town were destroyed and his disbeliever wife was also killed.

She remained behind and was afflicted by the punishment along with the wrong doers and wicked townspeople. (Qur’an 54:34).

Only the people of his house were aware of the guests but his wife went out and informed the people that Lut A.S had brought handsome men into the house.

She was a disbeliever and died as disbeliever.

There are two interpretations about how wife of Lut A.S was destroyed. Either she remained inside the city or she looked back at the punishment and as a result was punished herself.

Allah knows best.

Lesson:

You might be married to the worst man ever, as siya A.S was married to Pharoah but it didn’t change her loyalty & love for Allah.

You might be married to the best of men like Prophets of Allah & still not enter Jannah, like the wife of Lut A.S and Nuh A.S.
