📖 Commentary of Surah As-Saffaat – Verse 135

"Except an old woman [137] who was among those who remained behind."

✅ [137] The Fate of Lut’s Wife

This verse refers to the wife of Hazrat Lut (peace be upon him). Her name was Wāqilah.

She was not only an infidel, but also a treacherous woman who betrayed her husband and aided the disbelieving nation. Despite being part of a prophet’s household, her disbelief and disloyalty caused her to be left behind and destroyed with the sinful nation.

Her example is a reminder that faith alone—independent of family ties—determines salvation.
