THE PROFOUND DARKNESS OF THE HYPOCRITE

IT IS STATED IN THE TORAH THAT THE PROPHET LOT'S (PBUH) WIFE
TURNED INTO A "PILLAR OF SALT"

Then the Lord rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from

the Lord out of the heavens. Thus He overthrew those cities and the entire

plain, destroying all those living in the cities—and also the vegetation in the
land. But Lot's wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt. Early the next
morning Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before
the Lord. He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, toward all the land of
the plain, and he saw dense smoke rising from the land, like smoke from a
furnace. (Genesis 19:24-28)
… if He condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to
ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly; and
if He rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the depraved conduct
of the lawless (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tor-
mented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)— if this
is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to hold the
unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment. This is especially true

of those who follow the corrupt desire of the flesh and despise authority. … (2

Peter 2:6-10)

Even though the Prophet Noah (pbuh) invited his community countless times

for them to follow God's religion and give up on their deviant affairs, they denied
the Prophet (pbuh) and continued to live as idolaters. Following this, the leaders of
his community attempted to defame the Prophet Noah (pbuh) –in their own
twisted minds- by accusing him with slanders like 'trying to get precedence over
them' and of 'madness'; they decided to spy on him and keep him under pressure.
Following this, God instructed the Prophet Noah (pbuh) to build an ark and revealed
to him that unbelievers would be punished through getting drowned, and only the
believers would be saved.
With the verse of the Qur'an, "God has made an example for those who are
unbelievers: the wife of Noah and the wife of Lot. They were married to two of
Our servants who were righteous but they betrayed them and were not helped
