An overview of the story of prophet Lot (peace be upon him) through the Qur’anic context
Abstract
This study delves into the critical role of Qur'anic context in generating deep connotations and meanings, with a particular focus on the story of Prophet Lot (peace be upon him) as narrated in eight chapters of the Holy Qur'an: Al-A'raf, Al-Hijr, Hood, Al-Shu'ara', Al-Naml, Al-Ankabut, Al-Safat, and Al-Qamar. The research highlights how the themes of these chapters are intricately connected to the context of the verses recounting Lot's story, showcasing the Qur'an's unique narrative structure. By examining each occurrence of the story, the study reveals how these episodes are deliberately integrated into the thematic and structural framework of their respective surahs. This alignment ensures coherence with the overarching goals of the surah, the specific objectives of the story, and the broader narrative context. The findings emphasize that understanding the Qur'an in its entirety necessitates a deep consideration of its contextual framework. Ultimately, this approach sheds light on the harmonious relationship between the story of Lot and the Qur'anic chapters in which it appears, providing valuable insights into the Qur'an's profound literary and spiritual dimensions.
