Quran confronts Phenomenon of Sexual Anomaly

 We have natural laws that preserve the social entity, and its balances, from any distortion that threatens its stability and safety. The semantic meanings of the innate humanity are soundness and integrity in the first creation, as Allah Almighty said in the Holy Quran: {the fitrah of Allah, upon which He has created all people. No change should there be in the creation of Allah.} [Al-Rum, verse: 30]. It is a standard for good and evil, as working in accordance with its guidance is good, and deviating from it is evil. The act of justice and benevolence is in keeping with human nature and instinct, so it is good, contrary to injustice and oppression, which human nature abhors, regardless of the position of al-Shari’ah towards it.

 As for the painful punishment that befell the people of Lot (peace be upon him), it was not because of the sexual anomaly that spread among them, but because of their disbelief, their highway robbery, and their assault on travelers!?

In this study, this suspicion is refuted by presenting and tracing everything mentioned in the Holy Quran, and the authentic hadiths and narrations regarding the crime of homosexuality, and what was mentioned in the story of the people of Lot (peace be upon him), and the reason for the severe punishment that was inflicted upon them.

Through this response, the clear and explicit Quranic position on homosexuality was revealed, that it is forbidden, criminalized and punishable in this world and the hereafter with the most severe punishments, and that the major crime that Lot's people (peace be upon him) committed was sexual anomaly, while the rest of the crimes are the repercussions and effects of this heinous crime.

The study also revealed the negative effects of this crime on the individual and society, and how to confront it in the Qur’an and through what was mentioned in the Noble Sunnah [Islamic laws].

 Sexual anomaly is considered one of the most dangerous types of anomaly, as it results in serious physical and psychological diseases, family disintegration, the cessation of offspring, and the destruction of social life in general.

In this study, the concept of obscenity in the Holy Quran was revealed, as well as the manifestations of sexual anomaly, the most important causes of this phenomenon, its dangerous consequences, its images, and the Quranic interpretation of it. This is through the characteristics of the people of Lot (peace be upon him) mentioned in the Holy Quran, and their relationship to this crime, and its repercussions on the individual and social levels, in addition to shedding light on the mechanisms of the West’s promotion of sexual anomaly, and ways to confront this phenomenon.

The first idea in the Quran is the generality of the law of duality for everything that Allah Almighty created, but it appears that it does not mean masculinity and femininity, but rather similarity and difference, or action and reaction. However, there are verses from which the generality of the law of biological duality is evident for the plant world, as well as the animal and the human being worlds. The one who studies the Quran verses notices several things:

First: Man is two types, male and female, without the existence of a third type, and it is one of the postulates of contemporary biology. However, gender ideology is based on sophistry that goes beyond biology and science, by believing in the existence of identities outside of masculinity and femininity, based on personal desire rather than formative reality.  

Second: The ability to become pregnant is limited to femininity. 

Third: Reproduction occurs through sexual relations between a male and a female, but the Quran limits it to legal marriage. On the other hand, gender ideology and sexual anomaly go beyond that, as it legalized same-sex marriage. Therefore, the Quran forbids any sexual relationship between a male and a female outside of legal marriage, or between females, or between two males, indicating that one of the destructive effects of this is the non-continuation of the human species. Therefore, gender ideology and sexual anomaly are a philosophy of death and nihilism.

Sexual anomaly has many social harms and risks, and its spread in any society indicates a serious state of social and moral decline. 

According to this study, one of the most important reasons for the spread of sexual anomaly in our societies is the Western media and cultural promotion process, and the Western political and legal support for this obscenity as well. 

The research addressed the proposed solutions to this phenomenon. There are two methods to treat those involved in this crime, and this ugly and shameful behavior, the first is method of deterrence by implementing the punishment specified by the Sharia texts, but in the present era this treatment cannot be implemented, due to many obstacles. The second: It is related to encouraging those afflicted with sexual anomaly to repent and return to sound innate humanity.

The aim of the study is to show the evils and dangers of this heinous phenomenon, by reviewing the verses of the Holy Quran related to the subject, especially in the story of the Prophet Lot (peace be upon him) with his people, and revealing the relationship between sexual anomaly and corruption on earth. This phenomenon is the key to many of the moral, social and ethical corruptions that the Holy Quran warned against.

 Its importance also lies in the connection between the achievement of the desired goals of human succession on earth, and the manifestations of divine legislation in human demands.

In this research, an attempt is made to clarify the meaning of legislative miracle, its features, and characteristics, and how this miracle is manifested in various divine laws, and then to clarify its benefits, and the results of adopting it without other legislations. 

The research concluded with a set of results, the most important of which are: the manifestation of legislative miracles in the comprehensiveness of divine legislation of all human requirements, their harmony with them, and their integration with each other, while human legislation failed to reach this matter. The research also recommended continuing research into other aspects of Quranic legislation, emphasizing the importance of returning to the Book of Allah, in all areas of legislation that we need today, working according to its approach, and not being satisfied with theoretical reading without act.

 It also addressed the cognitive and research efforts made by Orientalists in Europe in particular, in their dealings with the Quran regarding the history of the Quran, revelation, translation of the Quran, investigation, indexing and documentation, etc.

The author revealed the religious, political and ideological backgrounds and motives that controlled the direction of these studies, which made them often stray from the scientific and objective state, and fall into multiple scientific mistakes.

The author in the book also addressed many of the doubts promoted by Orientalist writings related to the Quran, and responded to them with a scientific methodology, revealing their weakness at all levels, especially with regard to their perception of revelation, and their attempts to translate the Quran. The author also praised the respectable scientific efforts made by Orientalists in the field of investigation, indexing and documentation, as well as the studies that dealt with specific Quranic topics.
