69. There came Our messengers (The angels) to Abraham with glad tidings. They said, “Peace!” He answered, “Peace!” and hastened to entertain them with a roasted calf.
70. But when he saw their hands went not towards the (meal), he felt some mistrust of them, and conceived a fear of them. They said: “Fear not: We have been sent against the people of Lut.”
71. And his wife was standing (there), and she laughed: But we gave her glad tidings of Isaac, and after him, of Jacob.
72. She said: “Alas for me! shall I bear a child, seeing I am an old woman, and my husband here is an old man? That would indeed be a wonderful thing!”
73. They said: “Dost thou wonder at Allah.s decree? The grace of Allah and His blessings on you, o ye people of the house! for He is indeed worthy of all praise, full of all glory!”
74. When fear had passed from (the mind of) Abraham and the glad tidings had reached him, he began to plead with us for Lut’s people.
75. For Abraham was, without doubt, forbearing (of faults), compassionate, and given to look to Allah.
76. O Abraham! Seek not this. The decree of thy Lord hath gone forth: for them there cometh a penalty that cannot be turned back!
77. When Our messengers came to Lut, he was grieved on their account and felt himself powerless (to protect) them. He said: “This is a distressful day.”
78. And his people came rushing towards him, and they had been long in the habit of practising abominations. He said: “O my people! Here are my daughters: they are purer for you (if ye marry)! Now fear Allah, and cover me not with shame about my guests! **Is there not among you a single right-minded man?” **
79. They said: **“Well dost thou know we have no need of thy daughters: indeed thou knowest quite well what we want!” **
80. He said: “Would that I had power to suppress you or that I could betake myself to some powerful support.”
81. (The Messengers) said: “O Lut! We are Messengers from thy Lord! By no means shall they reach thee! now travel with thy family while yet a part of the night remains, and let not any of you look back: but thy wife (will remain behind): To her will happen what happens to the people.** Morning is their time appointed: Is not the morning nigh?” **
82. When Our Decree issued,** We turned (the cities) upside down, and rained down on them brimstones hard as baked clay, spread, layer on layer,- **
83. Marked as from thy Lord: Nor are they ever far from those who do wrong!
*Surah Hud : 11 *
The amazing yet sad thing about the matter is when we come across muslims, the agument often faced is that “prove homosexuality being un-natural scientifically, or shut your mouth” really tells us how much beleif, trust, faith, and respect is left for Allah:swt: and how much an average muslim is aware of the islamic point of view about this matter.
May Allah :swt: guide us all!
