Part 9

He answered, "Effeminate men and masculine women, the adulterer of animals and sodomizers."1

It is narrated that when two men start to commit sodomy, Allah's Throne vibrates fearing Allah's wrath.

The heavens almost fall on the earth but the angels hold their outskirts and recite Surat AI-Ikhlas until

"On the Day of Judgment, there will be seven people who will be excluded from Allah's Mercy and

purification. Allah will sentence them to enter the Hell-Fire with those who enter it: Those who commit

sodomy, the one who commits masturbation, the one who approaches an animal from its anus, the one who

approaches a woman from her anus, the one who marries a woman and her daughter altogether, the

adulterer of his neighbor's wife and the one who brings harm to his neighbor until he accurse him."2

It was narrated that, "there will be some people who will be assembled on the Day of Judgment with

pregnant hands because of committing adultery. They used to make play of their genitals in the world."

It was also narrated that,

"Among the practices of Lut's people is playing with dice, competing by flying pigeons, entering the

bathroom naked, cheating in measures and weights. O woe to those who do so."3

Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "When a sodomite dies without making repentance,

he will turn into a pig in his grave."

"Allah does not look to a man who commits sodomy with a man or a woman." 4

Abu Sa'id As-Su'luk said, "There will be some people who will be called sodomites in this Ummah

(nation). They are of three kinds: some who just gaze, others who just shake hands, and the last who

Looking at a woman or a juvenile out of sexual excitement is adultery as mentioned in the following

which is unlawful,' and the adultery of the feet is going towards a strange woman; the heart ardently

desires adultery,' and the sexual organs confirm or contradict the act."1

Therefore, the righteous men stress the necessity of keeping away from juveniles. AI-Hasan Ibn

Zakwan said, "Do not be accustomed to sit with the wealthy men's kids since they are good looking like the

virgin ladies. They might be more fascinating than women."2

One of the earlier scholars also said, "I do not fear a beast of prey when attacking a devout young man.

I just fear a juvenile when sitting with him." More than that he said, 'A man should not sleep with a juvenile

together." It is unlawful for a man as scholars argued, to stay alone with a juvenile in a house, a shop or a

bathroom as in the case of men and women.

Among juveniles are those who may be more beautiful than women. He may be most fascinating. It is easy

to justify what you do of evil with him than is with a woman. Therefore, such deep feelings are most likely

unlawful. Numerous maxims of the early Muslims were postulated as warnings from keeping near of them.

Once, Sufyan AthThawri entered a public bath and the a hand some boy entered after him. Sufyan

said, "Get him out because when ever I see a woman I see a Devil but whenever I see a handsome boy I see

A man visited Imam Ahmad accompanied with a handsome boy. Imam Ahmad said, "Who is that?"

The man replied, "My nephew." Imam Ahmad said, "Do not come again with him. Nor should you walk

with him lest the people who do not know you think something bad about you.

When the delegate of `Abdel-Qays came to the Prophet (pbuh) there was a handsome juvenile with

them. The Prophet (pbuh) made him sit behind his back and said,

"The trial of Dawud pertained to the gaze."3

It was said that the look is message of adultery.

"Eye-looking is a poisonous arrow of Satan and whoever gives it up for the sake of Allah, he will feel the

joys of Worship which will persist until the Day of Judgement."4

Khalid Ibn Al-Waleed (may Allah be pleased with him) related that one day he found a

sodomite committing such practice. Then, Abu Bakr consulted the other Companions (may Allah bless

them all `Ali Ibn Abi Talib said, "This sin was only done by Lut's people and we knew how they were

punished by Allah, the Almighty. I think he should be burnt." Therefore, Abu Bakr sent a message to

Khalid ordering him to bum the sodomite. Then Khalid burnt him. "

'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Whoever allows someone else to fornicate with him,

he will be addicted by the appetite of woman and will be an accursed Satan in his grave until the day of

It was related that Jesus, the son of Marry (pbuh), passed by a flaming fire burning a man when he

was in a journey. Then, Jesus carried Some water to extinguish the fire. But, the fire turned into a boy and

the man turned into fire. Surprisingly, Jesus said, "O Lord! May You return them back to life to ask them

how they are? Allah then brought them to life. They were a man and a boy. Jesus asked them, "Who are

you?" The man said, "O spirit of Allah, in the World I was afflicted by loving this boy and out of sexual

excitement, I sodomized him. Later on when we died, we alternatively burned one another. This is Our

torture until the Day of Judgement."

We seek Allah's refuge from His torture and ask His pardon, and for well-being and guidance to

What He loves and pleases.

Sodomy is also approaching a woman from the anus. This act is prohibited by Allah, the Almighty and

His Messenger (pbuh). Allah, the Almighty says,

{Your wives are as a tilth unto you so approach your tilth when or how ye will but do some good act for

your souls be fore hand and fear Allah, and know that ye are to meet Him (in the Hereafter) and give

(these) good tidings to those who believe.} (AI-Baqarah: 223)

A husband can make vaginal intercourse with his wife regardless of the posture he takes (whether it be

from the front or back). The reason for the revelation of this Ayah is that Jews said in the lifetime of the

"Whenever a man makes vaginal intercourse from the back, the child will be born cross-eyed. The

Companions asked the Prophet (pbuh) about that. Accordingly, Allah revealed the aforementioned Ayah to

It was related that, "Accursed is he who approaches a woman from the anus or a fortuneteller. He who

does such rejects what was revealed upon Muhammad." Thus, he who approaches a woman from her anus

or during the menstruation period is accursed and entails such severe torture as is the fortuneteller.

Many ignorant people fall into such sins because of their poor knowledge. Abu Ad-Darda', therefore,

said, "Be either a scholar, a disciple, a listener or one who loves knowledge otherwise you will perish."

Therefore, we should repent to Allah for all our sins and faults, ask His pardon of our past ignorance, and

soundness in what remains of our life span. O Allah! Grant us health and pardon in this world and the next.

You are the Most Merciful.

"When I was transported from the Sacred House (of Mecca) to the farthest Mosque (of Jerusalem), I

passed by some people whose bellies were protruding forward. Their bellies were as huge as houses,

stretching along the way of Pharaoh's people. On the other hand, the Pharaoh's people have to be brought

in front of Fire at morning and evening. Like defeated camels, deaf and mad, the people of Pharaoh used to

pass by them. Feeling them coming, they attempted to keep aside but their bellies were so heavy that they

could not leave and they in turn, were trodden by them. This is re-occurred in their coming and going every

day. That is their lot of torture in the period of the Barrier (AI-Barzakh) up to the Last day. The Prophet

asked, "Who are they, Gabriel?" He replied, "They are those who devour usury will not stand except as

"When usury and fornication appear in a community, the people of that community render themselves
