Cave of Prophet Lut (عليه السلام)

According to Christian tradition, this cave, situated close to the Dead Sea is where the Prophet Lut [Lot] (عليه السلام) sought refuge in after the destruction of Sodom, his village.

• In Islam, Lut (عليه السلام), like all the other Prophets of Allah is regarded as being righteous and the upholder of all forms of moral conduct. There occurs a  major difference between the Islamic and Judeo/Christian beliefs regarding what happened to Lut (عليه السلام) and his daughters after they fled the destruction of Sodom.
• According to ‘Who’s Who in the Bible’ by Peter Calvocoressi, after they went to live in the cave the two daughters of Lut (عليه السلام) feared they would never get a man so they plotted to make their father seduce them when he was drunk. They took it in turns and each subsequently bore a son who became the ancestors of the Moabites and Ammonites. The story is told in Genesis 19:30-36: 

30 And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.
³¹ And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth:
³² Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
³³ And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
³⁴ And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
³⁵ And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
³⁶ Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.

• The allegation of  drunkenness and incestuous behaviour of Lut (عليه السلام) is completely rejected in Islam who regard him as one of the mightiest messengers of Allah (God) who were all examples of moral and spiritual rectitude.
