That may be a metaphor.

In the Quran it says that she “went back” or rather stayed in Sodom.

I always guessed salt was used as a currency at the time, or represented money in someway, and maybe her "turning" to salt was a metaphor for materialism or greed.

But one thing is for sure, Sodom had a deep impact on Lot and his daughters, because even after he fleed the city some freaky-deaky shit went down... yuck

No. The blasphemy against Lut and his daughters is just that. Lies that come from the corruption of those texts.

No prophet would ever have done those things. Moses and David also got the same blasphemy. Their records are pure in the quran, it clears their names

Interesting... I'll have to look up the story in the Quran. Do you have a theory on who corrupted the texts, and why?

The devil himself makes it top priority to corrupt the texts first. Every messenger was targeted. The only book to survive is the last, and Allah promised it would.

Ahh good point!

In the quran it also says she “sold out” the angels who came to see Lut. She most likely snitched on them for money.
