Lesson
Prophet Lot
(peace be upon Him) is Messenger of Allah Almighty. He was nephew of Prophet
Abraham (peace be upon Them). When Abraham left His idolater and sculptor
father named Aazar and migrated from
Iraq to Syria, Lot migrated along with Him also to Syria. Prophet Abraham
(peace be upon Him) slighted in Palestine and Lot (peace be upon Him) went to
Jordan. Then Allah Almighty sent His Message unto Him and directed to reach Sodom,
which was the name of a city of Jordan. Allah Almighty sent Him towards the
inhabitants of the outskirts of that city, so that, bad habit of those people
is dis-habituated from them by admonishing.
Qaw-mihiii - (His folk, tribe,
nation), it aims “the people of Sodom and villages in its vicinity” who had
become habitual of an evil.
‘Al-faahishata – this word has been derived from fahash, which means “to be opened, to become public”. Two words
have been made from it: ‘al-faahishah
and ‘al-fah-shaaa’, which are used
for “lewdness openly, shamelessness, to be lost to all sense of honor,
committing sins without any hesitation”.
Such filthy evil
had spread publicly in the residents of Sodom, which was shameless and against
the nature, and which was invented by them (sodomy – a carnal copulation
against nature). This evil was neither learnt by them from any other, nor
anyone committed it before them and nor they looked someone committing so. Even
that the animals did never commit this evil, because they fulfill their natural
desires in the same manner as the Wisdom has prescribed the way to fulfill it. Contrary
to it, they can never think. However, humankind is such an existence, who can
break the natural fashions. Therefore, there are more supplies/equipment of his
destruction in the world than animals. Generally, maximum destruction of
animals is due to external motives and disasters, but internal disasters exist
too to finish the human being, besides external reasons and disasters, which
are result of the inundation of his powerful desires.
Those entire
parts have to do any work, which exist in the human body, as eyes are for
looking, feet are for walking etc. and naturally every limb is fond of doing
own work. If desires of all members of the body are collected, the name of this
collection would be “Nafs” (the
breath, the soul, the spirit, the self-desire etc.). The Nafs wants complete independence to fulfill its fondness. The religion
and the morality impose restrictions on the Nafs.
The name of those restrictions is religion and civilization. Whenever, the Nafs breaks those restrictions by violence,
then corruption, tyranny, disorder and mischief spread. Murder, unfair dealing
and adultery etc. are the same kinds of mischief, due to which, human society
is ruined.
The people of
Sodom adopted a new kind of violence. They established that natural relationship
with boys, which was required to be conducted with female (women) only. It was
the reason that many depravities were born in the society and family system
began to ruin. Allah Almighty sent specially Prophet Lot (peace be upon Him) unto
that nation for preventing them from this new evil.
