lem. Statistics of WHO indicate that the total number of AIDS
deaths since the beginning of the epidemic have been 18.8 million
persons. The report of the World Health Organization for the

year 2000 sums up the situation succinctly: “AIDS is unique in its
devastating impact on the social, economic and demographic
underpinnings of development.” 18
Among the most frightening developments is the spread of
homosexuality. In some countries, homosexuals can be legally
married, enjoy the social benefits of marriage, and form associa-
tions and organizations. Around the world their activities show
their opposition to religious faith and their antagonism to religious
values. This is a characteristic of our age; such things have never
happened before since the time of our Prophet (saas).
The audacity of today’s homosexuals makes one think of the
end of the people of the Prophet Lot (as) who were noted for their
homosexuality. As it is stated in the Qur’an, when they flamboy-
antly rejected the Prophet Lot’s (as) invitation to the right path,
Allah destroyed the city and its people by a great disaster. As a re-
minder, the remains of this perverse society still lie beneath the wa-
ter of the Dead Sea.
It is clear that the hadiths describing the End Times and its
moral degeneration are coming true today.
One hadith indicates that the absence of the shame of
prostitution is a sign of the Last Day.
There will be prevalence of open illegal sexual intercourse.
