THE PROFOUND DARKNESS OF THE HYPOCRITE

hypocrites very well. Whatever ploys or insidious methods they have put to use
in history, they will continue implementing the same system of satan today. There-
fore, every detail as to the hypocrite character revealed in the Qur'an is very
crucial and instructive for all Muslims.
In a hadith our Prophet (pbuh) pointed out this danger with his following
words, "There is nothing I fear for my ummah [Islamic community] more than

the deed of the people of Lot." (At-Tirmidhi, 1457). In another hadith he warned

his community that 'the People of Lot had committed the most indecent and

loathsome abomination' and said:

"Cursed is the one who does the action of the people of Lot." (Narrated by
Ahmad, 1878: Classed as saheeh by Shaykh al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami', no.
5891)

Saying, "God would not look at the face of those who come with lust to

men (expels them from His Mercy)." [Kutub al-Sittah, Hadith no:1607, Narrator:

Ibh-Abbas, Source: At-Tirmidhi, Rada 12, (1165)] our Prophet (pbuh) pointed out

that 'homosexuality is a deviant act that God made forbidden.' In addition to

this, the religious scholars in the Islamic world have always been in consensus

that homosexuality is an abomination and unlawful, and they have never fallen
into dispute on this matter. That being so, both from the verses of the Qur'an

and the hadiths of our Prophet (pbuh) it is clearly comprehensible that homosex-

uality is a deviant, loathsome, evil, abnormal and disgusting obscenity.
In one verse of the Qur'an, "Do you not see those who have turned to people

with whom God is angry?..." (Surat al-Mujadala, 14) it is pointed out that hyp-
ocrites 'befriend people who carry out actions that God dislikes or reveals as
unlawful.' Also at the time of the Prophet Lot (pbuh) this verse was manifested
and hypocrites who were in the community of Lot (pbuh) secretly supported

the homosexuals among his people. In order for these deviant people to go on

with their repulsive affairs, they 'provided them with intelligence' and did

everything in their power to make them stronger.

Hypocrites have made this deviant and perfidious alliance at every period

of history; they have always advocated on behalf of homosexuals and the abom-
inating perverts as well as the deviant ideas of their own time. They have en-
deavored to spread these deviances, backed the ones who have carried out
these repulsive ugly actions and encouraged that these perverted people are
seen as legitimate.
However the consequence has been to the detriment of hypocrites; those Lot (pbuh)
within the People of Lot, who thought they were very cunny and smart, were a
