Dead Sea - Mount Sodom on the horizon
As per history, the above picture of dead sea is a place where a nation lived 1800 B.C to whom one of messager of GOD sent named 'Lut' (a.s). The nation of Lut (a.s) was invloved in a aweful act of 'homosexuality' as well as 'robbery'. Allah's messenger Lut (a.s) warned them number of times from expected dreadful punishment of Allah, but they totally denied Him and took it very non seriously;
Allah said in Quran;
"The people of Lut rejected (his) warning. We sent against them a violent Tornado with showers of stones, (which destroyed them), except Lut's household: them We delivered by early Dawn,- As a Grace from Us: thus do We reward those who give thanks. And (Lut) did warn them of Our Punishment, but they disputed about the Warning". (Surat al-Qamar:, 33-36)
(Surat al-Araf: 80-82)
When Our Decree issued, We turned (the cities) upside down, and rained down on them brimstones hard as baked clay, spread, layer on layer,-Marked as from thy Lord: Nor are they ever far from those who do wrong! (Surah Hud: 82-83)
Werner Keller (geoligisits) noted that this shallow part, which was discovered to have formed subsequently, was the outcome of the aforementioned earthquake and the massive collapse this earthquake had caused. This was the place where Sodom and Gomorrah (nation of Lut) were situated.
