Mwenyezi Mungu, Aliye Juu, anasimulia katika Kitabu Chake hadithi ya watu wa Lūṭ katika sehemu kadhaa. Mwenyezi Mungu, Mwenye Nguvu, anasema, {Amri Yetu ilipofika, Tuliigeuza miji hiyo juu chini, na Tukawanyeshea mawe ya udongo yaliyoshikana kama udongo uliookwa, yaliyopangwa safu kwa safu, yenye alama kutoka kwa Mola wako; wala hayako mbali na madhalimu!} (Hūd: 82-83)

Allah, Most High recounts in His Book the story of Lut's people in several positions. Allah, the Almighty says, {When Our decree issued, We turned (the cities) upside down, and rained down on them brimstones hard as baked clay, spread, layer on layer, marked from thy Lord; nor are they ever far from those who do wrong!"} (Hud: 82-83)

Makao haya si mbali na wale wanaofanya maovu miongoni mwa umma wetu iwapo watafanya dhambi hiyo hiyo.

This abode is not far from those who do wrong amongst our nation if they committed the same sin.

Kwa hiyo, Nabii ﷺ alisema, "Ninachoogopa zaidi ni kwamba umma wangu unaweza kufuata dhambi ya watu wa Lut."1

Therefore, the Prophet (pbuh) said, "What I fear most is that my nation may follow the crime of Lut's people.”1

Mtume ﷺ pia alisema, "Allah amlaani yule anayefanya kitendo alichokifanya watu wa Lut."2

The Prophet also said, "May Allah curse him who does what Lut's people did.”2

Alisema mara mbili.

He said it twice.

Imepokewa kwamba Nabii ﷺ alisema: "Atakayekamatwa akifanya kitendo cha kaumu ya Lūṭ, mwueni aliyefanya na yule aliyefanyiwa."3

It was related that the Prophet (pbuh) said, "Whoever is caught doing the crime of Lut's people, you should kill the one who sodomizes and the one who lets it be done to him.” 3

Ibn 'Abbas (radhi Allahu anhu) alisema, "Tafuteni jengo lililo refu zaidi mjini, kisha watupeni chini na kuwapiga mawe kama makazi ya watu wa Lut." Kuna makubaliano ya wanazuoni kwamba liwati ni miongoni mwa madhambi makubwa yaliyokatazwa na Allah, {Je, mnawaendea wanaume miongoni mwa viumbe vyote, na mnawaacha wake zenu ambao Mola wenu amewaumbia? Bali nyinyi ni watu waliopindukia mipaka} Ash-Shu'ara: 165-166)

Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with hi) said, "Look for the highest building in the town, and then throw them down and stone them like the abode of Lut's people." There is a scholarly consensus that sodomy is among the major sins forbidden by Allah, {Of all creatures in the world, will ye approach males, and leave those whom Allah has created for you to be your mates? Nay, ye are a people transgressing (all limits!} A-Shu`ara: 165-166)

Allah, Mtukufu, anasema, {Na Lutu, pia tulimpa hukmu na elimu, na tukamwokoa kutoka mji ule uliokuwa ukitenda maovu; hakika walikuwa watu waovu, watu waasi.} (Al-Anbiyaa: 74)

Allah, Most High, says, {And Lut, too, We gave Judgment and Knowledge, and We saved him from the town which practiced abominations: truly they were a people given to evil, a rebellious people.} (Al-Anbya': 74)

Mji ambao watu hao waliishi uliitwa Sodoma. Walikuwa wakifanya matendo maovu yaliyotajwa na Allah katika Kitabu Chake. Walikuwa wakifanya liwati; wakitoa upepo wenye sauti katika mkusanyiko wao, na matendo mengine mengi ya kuchukiza.

The town where those people lived was called Sodom. They used to practice the abominations mentioned by Allah in His Book. They used to commit sodomy; make sounded wind in their assembly and many other offensive practices.

Alisema, "Usagaji ni zinaa baina yao." Nabii ﷺ alisema, "Watu wanne huwastahilisha ghadhabu ya Allah usiku na mchana." Iliulizwa, "Ni akina nani, Ewe Mjumbe wa Allah?" Akajibu, "Wanaume wenye sifa za kike na wanawake wenye sifa za kiume, anayezini na wanyama, na wanaume wanaowalawiti."1

He (pbuh) said, "Lesbianism is adultery between them." The Prophet (pbuh) said, "Four people entail Allah's wrath in night and day. " It was asked, "Who are they, Messenger of Allah?" He answered, "Effeminate men and masculine women, the adulterer of animals and sodomizers.”1

Imepokewa kwamba wanaume wawili wanapoanza kufanya liwati, Kiti cha Enzi cha Allah hutetemeka kwa kuogopa ghadhabu ya Allah.

It is narrated that when two men start to commit sodomy, Allah's Throne vibrates fearing Allah's wrath.

Mbingu zinakaribia kuanguka juu ya ardhi, lakini malaika huzishika pembezoni mwake na kusoma Surat Al-Ikhlas hadi ghadhabu ya Allah itulie. Mtume ﷺ alisema: "Siku ya Kiyama, kutakuwa na watu saba ambao watatengwa na Rehema ya Allah na utakaso Wake. Allah atawahukumu kuingia Motoni pamoja na wale wanaoingia humo: Wale wanaofanya liwati, yule anayejichua, yule anayemwendea mnyama kwenye njia ya haja kubwa, yule anayemwendea mwanamke kupitia njia ya haja kubwa, yule anayemwoa mwanamke na binti yake pamoja, mzinzi wa mke wa jirani yake, na yule anayemletea madhara jirani yake hadi amlaani."2

The heavens almost fall on the earth but the angels hold their outskirts and recite Surat AI-Ikhlas until Allah's wrath reposes." The Prophet (pbuh) said, "On the Day of Judgment, there will be seven people who will be excluded from Allah's Mercy and purification. Allah will sentence them to enter the Hell-Fire with those who enter it: Those who commit sodomy, the one who commits masturbation, the one who approaches an animal from its anus, the one who approaches a woman from her anus, the one who marries a woman and her daughter altogether, the adulterer of his neighbor's wife and the one who brings harm to his neighbor until he accurse him.”2

Ilisimuliwa kwamba, "Kutakuwa na watu watakaokusanywa siku ya Kiyama wakiwa na mikono iliyojaa mimba kwa sababu ya kufanya uzinzi. Walikuwa wakijifurahisha kwa sehemu zao za siri duniani." Pia ilisimuliwa kwamba, "Miongoni mwa desturi za watu wa Lut ni kucheza kamari kwa kete, kushindana kwa kuruka njiwa, kuingia bafuni wakiwa uchi, na kudanganya katika vipimo na mizani. Ole wao wanaofanya hivyo."3

It was narrated that, "there will be some people who will be assembled on the Day of Judgment with pregnant hands because of committing adultery. They used to make play of their genitals in the world." It was also narrated that, "Among the practices of Lut's people is playing with dice, competing by flying pigeons, entering the bathroom naked, cheating in measures and weights. O woe to those who do so.”3

Ibn 'Abbas (radhiya Allahu 'anhu) alisema, "Mtu wa jinsia moja anapokufa bila kutubu, atageuka kuwa nguruwe kaburini mwake." Mtume ﷺ alisema, "Allah hamtazami mtu anayefanya tendo la sodoma na mwanamume au na mwanamke." 4

Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "When a sodomite dies without making repentance, he will turn into a pig in his grave." The Prophet (pbuh) said, "Allah does not look to a man who commits sodomy with a man or a woman." 4

Abu Sa'id As-Su'luk alisema, "Katika Ummah (umma) hii kutakuwepo watu ambao wataitwa walawiti. Wao ni wa aina tatu: wengine ni wale wanaotazama tu, wengine ni wale wanaopeana mikono tu, na wa mwisho ni wale wanaofanya kitendo kiovu."5

Abu Sa'id As-Su'luk said, "There will be some people who will be called sodomites in this Ummah (nation). They are of three kinds: some who just gaze, others who just shake hands, and the last who commit the abominable act.”5

Kumtazama mwanamke au kijana kwa msisimko wa kimapenzi ni zinaa, kama ilivyotajwa katika hadithi ifuatayo:

Looking at a woman or a juvenile out of sexual excitement is adultery as mentioned in the following hadith:

"Mtu hufanya zinaa kwa macho yake anapomtazama mwanamke asiye mahali pake," zinaa ya masikio ni kusikiliza mazungumzo ya ngono, zinaa ya ulimi ni kuzungumza kuhusu ngono, zinaa ya mkono ni kushika kile kilicho haramu, na zinaa ya miguu ni kwenda kwa mwanamke asiye mahali pake; moyo hutamani kwa shauku zinaa, na viungo vya uzazi huthibitisha au kukanusha tendo hilo.1

"A man commits adultery with his eyes when he looks at a strange woman,' the adultery of the ears is listening to sexual dialogue, adultery of the tongue is talking about sex,' the adultery of the hand is to catch which is unlawful,' and the adultery of the feet is going towards a strange woman; the heart ardently desires adultery,' and the sexual organs confirm or contradict the act.”1

Kwa hiyo, watu wema wanasisitiza umuhimu wa kujiepusha na vijana wadogo. Al-Hasan Ibn Zakwan alisema, "Usizoee kukaa na watoto wa matajiri kwa sababu ni wazuri wa sura kama wanawali. Wanaweza kuwa wenye kuvutia zaidi kuliko wanawake."2

Therefore, the righteous men stress the necessity of keeping away from juveniles. AI-Hasan Ibn Zakwan said, "Do not be accustomed to sit with the wealthy men's kids since they are good looking like the virgin ladies. They might be more fascinating than women.”2

Mmoja wa wanazuoni wa zamani pia alisema, "Simwogopi mnyama mkali anayewinda akimshambulia kijana mcha Mungu."

One of the earlier scholars also said, "I do not fear a beast of prey when attacking a devout young man.

"Ninachelea sana kwa mtoto mdogo ninapokaa naye." Zaidi ya hayo, alisema: 'Mwanamume asilale pamoja na mtoto mdogo.' Ni haramu kwa mwanamume, kama walivyosema wanazuoni, kubaki peke yake na mtoto mdogo ndani ya nyumba, dukani au bafuni, kama ilivyo kwa wanaume na wanawake.

I just fear a juvenile when sitting with him." More than that he said, 'A man should not sleep with a juvenile together." It is unlawful for a man as scholars argued, to stay alone with a juvenile in a house, a shop or a bathroom as in the case of men and women.

Miongoni mwa vijana wadogo wapo wanaoweza kuwa warembo zaidi kuliko wanawake. Yeye anaweza kuwa mwenye mvuto mkubwa zaidi. Ni rahisi kujihalalishia uovu unaoufanya pamoja naye kuliko ilivyo pamoja na mwanamke. Kwa hiyo, hisia za kina kama hizo kuna uwezekano mkubwa ni haramu. Methali nyingi za Waislamu wa mwanzo zilitolewa kama tahadhari dhidi ya kuwa karibu nao.

Among juveniles are those who may be more beautiful than women. He may be most fascinating. It is easy to justify what you do of evil with him than is with a woman. Therefore, such deep feelings are most likely unlawful. Numerous maxims of the early Muslims were postulated as warnings from keeping near of them.

Mara moja, Sufyan Ath-Thawri aliingia katika bafu la umma, na kijana mzuri wa sura akaingia baada yake. Sufyan akasema, "Mtoeni huyu, kwa sababu kila ninapomwona mwanamke ninaona shetani, lakini kila ninapomwona kijana mzuri wa sura ninaona kundi la mashetani." Mtu mmoja alimtembelea Imam Ahmad akiwa pamoja na kijana mzuri wa sura. Imam Ahmad akasema, "Huyu ni nani?" Yule mtu akajibu, "Ni mpwa wangu." Imam Ahmad akasema, "Usije tena naye, wala usitembee naye, ili watu wasiokujua wasije wakakufikiria vibaya."

Once, Sufyan Ath- Thawri entered a public bath and the a hand some boy entered after him. Sufyan said, "Get him out because when ever I see a woman I see a Devil but whenever I see a handsome boy I see a group of devils." A man visited Imam Ahmad accompanied with a handsome boy. Imam Ahmad said, "Who is that?" The man replied, "My nephew." Imam Ahmad said, "Do not come again with him. Nor should you walk with him lest the people who do not know you think something bad about you.

Wakati mjumbe wa `Abdel-Qays alipomjia Mtume ﷺ, walikuwa pamoja naye kijana mdogo mzuri. Mtume ﷺ alimfanya akae nyuma ya mgongo wake, kisha akasema: "Mtihani wa Dawud ulihusu kutazama."3

When the delegate of `Abdel-Qays came to the Prophet (pbuh) there was a handsome juvenile with them. The Prophet (pbuh) made him sit behind his back and said, "The trial of Dawud pertained to the gaze.”3

Ilisemwa kwamba kutazama ni ujumbe wa zinaa.

It was said that the look is message of adultery.

Mtume (ﷺ) alisema, "Kutazama kwa macho ni mshale wenye sumu wa Shetani, na yeyote atakayeuacha kwa ajili ya Allah, atapata ladha za Ibada ambazo zitaendelea hadi Siku ya Kiyama."4

The Prophet (pbuh) said, "Eye-looking is a poisonous arrow of Satan and whoever gives it up for the sake of Allah, he will feel the joys of Worship which will persist until the Day of Judgement.”4

Khalid Ibn Al-Waleed (radhi Allahu anhu) alisimulia kwamba siku moja alimkuta mtu wa jinsia moja akitenda kitendo hicho. Kisha Abu Bakr aliwashauri Masahaba wengine (radhi Allahu anhum wote). Ali Ibn Abi Talib alisema, "Dhambi hii ilifanywa tu na watu wa Lut, nasi tunajua jinsi Allah, Mtukufu, alivyowaadhibu. Nadhani anapaswa kuchomwa moto." Kwa hiyo Abu Bakr alimtumia Khalid ujumbe akimwamuru amchome moto mtenda kitendo hicho. Kisha Khalid alimchoma moto. Ali (radhi Allahu anhu) alisema, "Yeyote anayemruhusu mtu mwingine kufanya uasherati naye, atateswa na tamaa ya mwanamke na atakuwa shetani aliyelaaniwa kaburini mwake hadi Siku ya Hukumu." Imesimuliwa kwamba Isa, mwana wa Mariamu (amani iwe juu yake), alipita karibu na moto mkali unaomwunguza mtu alipokuwa safarini. Kisha Isa alibeba maji kuzima moto huo. Lakini moto uligeuka kuwa mvulana, na yule mtu akageuka kuwa moto. Isa alishangaa, akasema, "Ee Mola wangu! Uwarudishe uhai ili niwaulize hali yao." Allah akawafufua. Walikuwa mtu mmoja na mvulana mmoja. Isa aliwauliza, "Ninyi ni nani?" Yule mtu akasema, "Ee roho ya Allah, duniani nilipatwa na mapenzi ya mvulana huyu, na kwa msisimko wa kimapenzi nilimfanyia kitendo cha jinsia moja. Baadaye tulipokufa, tulikuwa tukichomana kwa zamu. Hili ndilo adhabu yetu hadi Siku ya Hukumu." Tunamtafutia Allah kinga kutokana na adhabu Yake na kuomba msamaha Wake, na afya njema na uongofu kwa yale Anayoyapenda na kuyaridhia.

Khalid Ibn Al-Waleed (may Allah be pleased with him) related that one day he found a sodomite committing such practice. Then, Abu Bakr consulted the other Companions (may Allah bless them all `Ali Ibn Abi Talib said, "This sin was only done by Lut's people and we knew how they were punished by Allah, the Almighty. I think he should be burnt." Therefore, Abu Bakr sent a message to Khalid ordering him to bum the sodomite. Then Khalid burnt him. " 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Whoever allows someone else to fornicate with him, he will be addicted by the appetite of woman and will be an accursed Satan in his grave until the day of Judgement.” It was related that Jesus, the son of Marry (pbuh), passed by a flaming fire burning a man when he was in a journey. Then, Jesus carried Some water to extinguish the fire. But, the fire turned into a boy and the man turned into fire. Surprisingly, Jesus said, "O Lord! May You return them back to life to ask them how they are? Allah then brought them to life. They were a man and a boy. Jesus asked them, "Who are you?" The man said, "O spirit of Allah, in the World I was afflicted by loving this boy and out of sexual excitement, I sodomized him. Later on when we died, we alternatively burned one another. This is Our torture until the Day of Judgement." We seek Allah's refuge from His torture and ask His pardon, and for well-being and guidance to What He loves and pleases.

Liwati pia ni kumkaribia mwanamke kupitia njia ya haja kubwa. Kitendo hiki kimekatazwa na Allah, Mtukufu, na Mtume wake ﷺ. Allah, Mtukufu, anasema: {Wake zenu ni mashamba yenu kwenu, basi njooni mashamba yenu mpendavyo, na jitengenezeeni nafsi zenu kwa kheri kabla. Na mcheni Allah, na jueni kwamba mtakutana Naye. Na wabashirie wale wanaoamini.} ()
