Mu'tafikah
مؤتفكةDefinition
The overturned cities — the Quranic term for the settlements of Lut's people, which Allah literally flipped upside down and then rained upon with stones of baked clay. The physical inversion mirrors the moral inversion the people practiced.
As understood in the classical tradition of Ibn Kathir and the scholars of his school.
