....THE
PEOPLE OF LOT
....Nimrod desired to kill Prophet
Abrahamby throwing him into a fire, but he was saved by Allah
Almighty. He then left Urfa accompanied by his nephew Lot towards
Palestine. Hazrat Lot was assigned the mission of warning the
people of Sodom.
....Allah Almighty says:
...."And (We sent) Lot when he
said to his people: Most surely you are guilty of an indecency
which none of the nations has ever done before you." (Ankaboot,
28)
....The people of Lot were depraved
people; they practiced homosexuality. Hazrat Lot warned them to
forgo such behavior. He said:
...."You are committing an indecent
and erroneous act, homosexuality. None of the communities before
you have before performed such an unnatural act that exceeds the
limits preordained by Allah Almighty."
....Hazrat Lot was crying, begging,
and admonishing them.
....Swamped in their unnatural desires,
they committed this act publicly and amused themselves by observing
others. They forgot what chastity, purity, and honor were. They
followed their lower-selves in a way that is worse than any animal.
This unnatural act could not last forever. Soon divine torture
was to come.
