I thought this would be beneficial because of the number of threads relating to homosexuality.
sorry if this is a repeat
Translation:
"And remember when We sent Lot to his people and he said to them: 'Do you realize, you practice an indecency of which no other people in the world were guilty of before?'"
[Al-Quran, Sura Al-Araf 7:80]
Tafseer:
The 'indecency' referred to in this verse is the hideous act of homo- sexuality practiced by the people of Lot (May God's peace be upon him), that had brought down the wrath of God upon them.
Crimes of Homosexuality
--The people who practice homosexuality wage a war against their own nature, against their inherent psychological predilection. This causes a major disorder which leads to highly negative effects on the lives of both the parties involved in that unnatural act - effects of which are physical, psychological, as well as moral.
--They act dishonestly with nature, since, while they derive sexual pleasure, they fail to fulfill the societal obligations of which this pleasure is a recompense.
--They also act dishonestly with human society. Apart from neglecting the obligations they owe to society, they render themselves incapable of serving the human race and their own family.
Lessons
In light of the Quran, homosexuality is established as one of the deadliest sins; and that it incurred God's scourge on those who indulged in it.
We also know from the teachings of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that the Islamic state should purge society of this crime and punish those guilty of it.
