Wives of Noah and Lot

"God sets forth an example to those who disbelieve: the wife of Noah and the wife of Lot, they were both under two of Our righteous servants, but they acted treacherously towards them so they availed them naught against God, and it was said: Enter both the fire with those who enter." — Qur'an, Sura 66 (At-Tahrim), ayat 10Read more about this topic: Female Figures In The Quran

Why, clean water was just something you took for granted.”
—Sarah Delany (b. 1890)
