这里呈现的是对鲁特（Lot）故事的简要叙述，以及他的族人因他谴责他们的淫乱性行为而决定将他驱逐出城镇的事。他们毫无羞耻地沉溺于同性恋，从而扭曲了真主（God）在所有人类，乃至一般生物中所设立的人性。

What we have here is a summarized version of Lot’s history and the decision taken by his people to drive him out of their town because he denounced their perverted sexual practices. By so indulging unashamedly in homosexuality, they perverted human nature which God had installed in all human beings, and indeed in living species generally.

这在人类社会的历史上是一种奇特的现象。个别人可能因心理障碍或暂时的处境而出现倒错，以致男子与其他男子发生性关系。这种情况多发生在不允许女性出入的军营中，或是囚犯长期被关押、只能在没有女性接触的情况下克制性欲的监狱里。然而，若这种行为广泛存在，成为整个城镇的常态，并且尽管有女性在场、也有结婚的可能，那就实在非常奇怪了。

This was a strange phenomenon in the history of human communities. Perversion can occur with individuals, as a result of psychological disorders or temporary circumstances, leading men to have sex with other men. This happens mostly in army barracks where women are not allowed, or in prisons where inmates are held for long periods of time, having to cope with sexual desires without contact with women. But for such practices to be widespread, becoming the norm in a whole town, and despite the presence of women and marriage possibilities, it is most peculiar indeed.

真主赋予人类的天性使两性相互吸引,因为生命总体上是建立在婚姻之上的。他在《古兰经》中说:"无数玄妙的赞颂,归于那创造万物成双的主,包括大地所生长的植物,人类自身,以及人类所不知道的事物。"(36:36)因此,一切生物,包括植物、动物、人类以及人类尚未知晓的其他生物,都是成双被造的。这种二元性似乎是整个宇宙构造的基础,更不用说生物物种了。原子本身至今被认为是一切物质的基本单位,它包含质子和电子,分别带正电荷和负电荷。

God has made human nature such that the two sexes are attracted to each other, because life in general is based on marriage. He says in the Qur’ān: “Limitless in His glory is He who has created all the pairs out of whatever the earth produces, and out of people’s own selves, and out of that which they have no knowledge.” (36: 36) Thus all living species, plant, animal, human and other creatures unknown to man, are created in pairs. Such duality seems fundamental in the make up of the entire universe, let alone living species. The atom itself, which until now seems to be the basic unit of all creatures, has protons and electrons, which are positive and negative charges.

事实上，一切生物的生存都建立在两种对立面的结合之上。即使是没有雌雄之分的物种，也会在同一个单位内结合其雄性与雌性的细胞，通过将两者汇合的功能进行繁殖。

The reality is that the survival of all living things is based on the mating between two opposites. Even species that do not have males and females combine their male and female cells in the same unit, reproducing by a function that brings both together.

由于交配是繁衍的基础,真主使异性之间的相互吸引成为天性本质的一部分。这种吸引无需通过教育或思考去获得或培养,它是纯粹的本能。这保证了生命自然延续,因为活着的生物在满足其天性中找到快乐。因此,神圣的意志借助受造物本能欲望的自然满足来实现其设计。真主造了男性和女性的生殖器官,并植入了两性之间的相互吸引,使他们在一起时找到自然的快乐。他没有给两个男性结合的可能。因此,整个群体的自然倾向竟会如此扭曲,而且没有任何迫切的需要驱使人们去做违背其自然倾向的事,这是极其怪异的,正如鲁特的民族所发生的情况那样。
