Adultery
and Homosexuality and AIDS:
AIDS spread
as a result of the spread of adultery:
Sodomy
(homosexuality) is one of the most wicked and ugliest crimes. It
indicates the deviation of inborn nature, corruption in the mind and
perversion. It denotes sexual intercourse between two males or between
a male and a female where male has sex with a female in the anus.
Allaah
the Almighty said:
( ÃóÊóÃÊõæäó
ÇáÐøõßÑóÇäó ãöä ÇáÚóÇáóãöíäó (165) æóÊóÐóÑõæäó ãóÇ ÎóáóÞó áóßõã

“Do
you approach males among mankind? And leave what your lord has created
for you to be your wives? But you are a people transgressing ” (Holy
Qur’an: 26:165)
In
Arabic it is known as Liwaat, adjective of Prophet Lut’s people, who
were the first people to have practiced this act, God the Almighty
punished the people of Lut most severely by making the earth sink under
them; they were rained with stones as a punishment for their dirty act.
Quranic verses were revealed condemning their act, which is still being
recited throughout the world and will continue to be recited for
generations to come.
The
punishment of Allaah:
Allaah
the Almighty said:
(

“So when
Our Command came, We turned (the towns of Sodom ) upside down, and
rained on them stones of layered hard clay, in a well-arranged manner
one after another, marked from your Lord; and they are not ever far from
the evil-doers” (Holy Qur’an: 11:82-83).
This
has been proven in the history of mankind. God punished them by killing
them all, so that not a single criminal would remain alive would remain
to transmit any social and/or physical diseases to ancestor generation.
God wants man’s life to be clean of the dirt of vice and perversion;
hence, the prophet’s guidance came to show us the great atrocity of this
crime in the prophetic traditions which made the path of truth clear to
be taken.
Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be
Upon Him) said: “Allaah does not look at a man who went in unto a man,
or a woman in her anus.”
Abu Hurayrah also reported that the prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) said:
“May he be
cursed,
he who does the deed of the people of Lut (Homosexuality)."Curse"
means the dismissal from the mercy of Allaah the Almighty. This is
deserved only because of the one of the heinous acts of sin and disgust
of it, the repetition of that in the crime of sodomy is a clear proof of
the heinousness of this sin, and the one who does it deserves every kind
of punishment. There are many Prophetic traditions in this respect.
Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) warned us
against the committing of sins as a whole and particularly committing
sin in public. He said: “O, folk of immigrants, there are five
sins I take resort in Allaah from that you do not see: ‘No people
amongst whom adultery appears publicly will escape being plagued with
pestilence, diseases which did not appear among their ancestors, and if
they do not weight properly what they sell, they will be inflicted with
famine, adversity and the oppression of the ruler. If they do not pay
zakah from their money, they will not have rain from the sky. Had it
not been for the animals, they would not be rained. If they disobey
Allaah and His messenger, Allaah will allow an enemy from others to take
some of what they have. If their rulers do not implement Allaah's book
and choose from what Allaah has revealed, Allaah will make their
strength among themselves’.
Those
crimes which the prophet (Peace Be Upon Him)
mentioned are inflicted upon anyone who avoids Islamic rulings
partly or completely. Every criminal act has its own consequence:
sodomy and its spread in the human society brings about new diseases
which did not exist before among the ancestors, which is what we live in
this century.
In the
21st century Allaah decreed to send to those who commit
sodomy a wild dragon
(AIDS)
in order to awaken the sleepy and cause horror in the hearts of those
whose insight has been blinded by false civilization. How could they be
prevented without having any deterrent system or considerable values?
The 21st century civilization has paddled in the liberty of
sex, and did not leave any virtue without fooling with it, or honour or
chastity without destroying its pillars, nor left women’s dignity
without desecrating it.
AIDS
has been a cry that turned the life of the west upside down. It has
been a stigma on those who avoided marriage and practiced sodomy as a
way of living.
Unfortunately, “Purity,” “chastity” and “virgin women” are words that
are being repeated by millions. They had been absent for long years in
vice and immorality.
The only way to
avoid AIDS is the confinement of men
to an honest marital relationship. If man had done so, and the wife to
her relationship with her husband only, the possibility of contracting
this disease will be almost impossible; hence, the accuracy of the
Islamic rules explained by the prophetic traditions.
The
punishment of Homosexuality, killing
the doers by the Muslims governor, the positive and the negative, came
to wipe out the effect of the crime both physically and morally. The
inimitability of the prophetic traditions in this subject when it stated
that the spread of vice in society is a cause for the appearance of
illnesses which have not been known before, and this is what our present
century has witnessed.
SEXUAL RISKS:
There are a number of pressing sexually
related public health and social policy issues facing countries around
the world today. According to the United States Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, in the United States a teen becomes pregnant
every 30 seconds, and every 13 seconds a teen contracts a sexually
transmitted disease (STD). Another
serious sexually transmitted disease is syphilis, which if left
untreated for many years, can lead to paralysis, psychiatric illness,
and death.
