As for Lut' s people, Allah ~ mentioned the degree of their passion, saying: ( The inhabitants of the city came rejoicing (at the news of the young men's arrival). Lut said: "Verily, these are my guests, so do not shame me. Fear Allah, and do not disgrace me." They said: "Did we not forbid you from entertaining any of the 'Alamin (people, foreigners and strangers from us)?" Lut said: "These are my daughters (to marry lawfully) if you must act so." Verily, by your life (0 Muhammad ii) they were wandering blindly in their wild intoxication (intoxicated by their unlawful passion).) 1 These people were blinded by their illegal desire, and their passion made them forget its harm. This is a poisonous and crippling condition which has exhausted all doctors in its treatment. When this state of mind becomes attached to the heart, its burning passion takes control to completely dominate it.
