Allah desires to turn towards you, but those who pursue their
lower appetites desire to make you deviate completely. (Qur'an,
4:27)
You come with lust to men instead of women. You are indeed a
depraved people.' (Qur'an, 7:81)
Of all beings, do you lie with males, (Qur'an, 26:165)

THEY ARE IN HORROR
We will cast terror into the hearts of those who do not believe
because they have associated others with Allah for which He has
not sent down any authority. Their shelter will be the Fire. How
evil is the abode of the wrongdoers! (Qur'an, 3:151)

THEY RUN AWAY FROM THOSE
WHO HAVE FAITH
Like panicked donkeys fleeing from a lion? (Qur'an, 74:50-51)
THEY ARE DISTRESSED
Be people of pure natural belief in Allah, not associating anything
else with Him. As for anyone who associates others with Allah, it
is as though he had fallen from the sky and the birds had seized
him and carried him away or the wind had dropped him in a
distant place. (Qur'an, 22:31)
When Allah desires to guide someone, He expands his breast to
Islam. When He desires to misguide someone, He makes his breast
narrow and constricted as if he were climbing up into the sky.
That is how Allah defiles those who have no faith. (Qur'an, 6:125)

THEY ARE IN PERMANENT DOUBT
AND ANXIETY
But those who do not believe will not cease to be in doubt of it
(the Qur'an) until the Hour comes on them suddenly or the
punishment of a desolate Day arrives. (Qur'an, 22:55)
