Lots Wife

Lot's wife is a figure from the Book of Genesis in the Hebrew Bible and the Christian Old Testament, known for her transformation into a pillar of salt after she disobeyed the command of God's angel not to look back at the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. In Hebrew, she is referred to as אשת לוט (Ishat Lot). The story serves as a cautionary tale about the consequences of disobedience and the dangers of longing for the past. The narrative is also present in the Quran, where she is referred to as the wife of Lut (Arabic: لوط), and her fate is similarly described as being turned into a pillar of salt. In Islamic tradition, she is often seen as a symbol of the punishment that awaits those who disobey divine commands. The tale has been interpreted in various ways throughout history, with some viewing her actions as a natural human reaction to witnessing the destruction of one's home, while others emphasize the importance of obedience to divine will.
