100 SOLUTION THE VALUES OF THE QUR'AN

Disbelief is the most essential attribute of a degenerate society.
Homosexuality is a form of perversion, for which in return Allah
promises torment both in this world and the hereafter, unless the person
turns to Him in repentance. Allah, in the Qur'an, proclaims that the cities
of the people who disobeyed the Prophet Lot, peace be upon him, were
razed to the ground because they practiced homosexuality, a disaster
which went down in history. When the Prophet Lot , peace be upon him,
told them to give up this perversion and brought them Allah's warning,
they denied him and carried on with their perversion. Upon this, his
people were destroyed by the disaster of which the Prophet Lot , peace be
upon him, had informed them in advance:
Of all beings, do you lie with males, leaving the wives Allah has created for
you? You are a people who have overstepped the limits.' They said, 'Lot , if
you do not desist you will be expelled.'

He said, 'I am someone who detests the deed you perpetrate. My Lord, rescue
me and my family from what they are doing.' Therefore We rescued him and
all his family – except for an old woman who remained behind. Then We
utterly destroyed the rest and made a rain come pouring down upon them.
How evil is the rain of those who are warned! There is certainly a Sign in
that, yet most of them are not believers. (Surat ash-Shu'ara: 165-174)
The way social institutions and related bodies deal with the problem is
highly alarming.
None of these institutions give emphasis to the fact that this perversion
is a wrong action, displeasing to Allah, and a reason for pain in this world
as well as eternal suffering in the hereafter. The sickness these perverted
people give to society should be removed. However, what is more urgent
is to save these people from that in which they indulge. Today, there are
millions of people around the world living in perversion and depravity,
who through intense indoctrination have incorporated immorality,
rebellion and all forms of awful behavior patterns into their lives.
On the other hand, in a believing society people strive for what is
better, more honorable, more esthetic and honest. Allah informs us about
the people who are rightly guided in the following verse:
… Allah has given you love of faith and made it pleasing to your hearts,
