of the problems facing humanity. According to World Health
Organization (WHO), sex-related diseases form one of the largest seg-
ments of illnesses. These reports show that of an estimated 333 mil-

lion new cases of sexually transmitted diseases occur in the world
54
every year. In addition, AIDS continues to be the most serious prob-
lem. WHO statistics indicate that AIDS has killed 18.8 million people
55
since the beginning of the epidemic in the early 1980s. The WHO re-
port for 2000 sums up the situation succinctly: "AIDS is unique in its

devastating impact on the social, economic and demographic under-
pinnings of development." 56
Among the most frightening developments is the spread of ho-
mosexuality. In some countries, homosexuals can legally marry, enjoy
its social benefits, and form associations 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, for such things have never happened before since the time of the

Prophet (may God bless him and grant him peace).
The audacity of today's homosexuals makes one think of what
happened to Lot's people, who were noted for their homosexuality.
As the Qur'an says, when they flamboyantly rejected Lot's (pbuh) in-
vitation to the right path, God destroyed the city and its people by a
great disaster. As a reminder, the remains of this perverse society still
lie beneath the water of Lut's Lake (the Dead Sea).
It is clear that the hadiths describing the moral degeneration of

the End Times are coming true today. This once again reminds us
that, by God's Will, Prophet Jesus' (pbuh) return to this world is very
close.
