In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Ever Merciful…
…Allah
mentions the story of Loot (Lot, peace be upon him). In it is mention of the
fitnah of the desires of men which go against man’s very nature. This was along
with a number of other passions and their outward declarations of them. They
claimed that there was no harm in them. They would refute anyone who prohibited
them from their actions.Yet he still forbade them:
You are practicing [all kinds of] evil in your gatherings! (29:29)
You are practicing [all kinds of] evil in your gatherings! (29:29)
But all they
said to him in response was: Bring us Allah’s Punishment if you are indeed from
the truthful! (29:29)
It was great
fitnah for Loot that his wife, from his own household, had given in to their
evil and become like them, encouraging the men to have intercourse with the men
who would come to visit Loot, and similar crimes.
So we saved
him and his family, except his wife, as she was from those who stayed behind.
(7:83)
Desires are
indeed a form of fitnah. How can one escape his desires and passions?...
