Prophet Lot (peace be
upon Him) made the people of Sodom to understand and at that time He
said: You commit abomination such as no creature ever did before you. The
Commentators felt the need of finding out: How this evil was started and how
the attention of human being was engaged towards this absurd and bad act?
The tracers of the human
history told them that the land of Sodom and in its surroundings was
a fertile territory. Gardens of fruit were in huge abundance. There was no
deficiency of the commodities of food and the people used to live in very
comfortable circumstances. They used to fulfill their every desire freely and
thoughtlessly. It is easy to draw attention of the prosperous and thoughtless
people towards the sexual gratification.
Satan, who remains in search of
occasions every time to `ruin the mankind, got very good opportunity to seduce.
He caused to incline the people towards the means of boiling up carnal appetite
by turning their thoughts from good works and hobbies. And they began to remain
engaged in the matters of getting excited their hot. Although, such thought
could not be produced in their hearts regarding unnaturally destruction of the
essence of a man. It is said that the Devil misled them by means of an unusual
trick and arranged to remove the human race from its foundation.
The trouble was that the man
got ready to destroy himself in such a way. His sense did not work. Neither he
could think that it was a vicious and obscene act and nor there was any chance
to draw his attention unto its deadly results. Everyone knows that bad work
spreads like fire and dust storm. And whosoever comes in their striking, they
leave it burnt or throw on the ground violently. The people
of Sodom came in the trick of Satan and arranged for themselves to be
ruined. We should learn many useful lessons from it:
·
Such kind of obscene act cannot
be thought by the mankind at its own, until the Devil misguides him by means of
any new way. Therefore, we should continue trying to be saved from our ancient
enemy.
·
Trick of the Devil operates
upon the young, thoughtless and bellyful people immediately, so the young
should remain engaged every time in useful hard works. They should bear in mind
always that He (Allah Almighty) has been looking them every time Who created
them in this world and Who has bestowed these entire favors, and at the end, He
will take an account from everyone that: Whether Our given powers and things
for pleasure and enjoyment have been used properly or otherwise? He (God
Almighty) will punish the evil doers.
·
Excess and greed should not be
in eating. One should remain away from lustful thoughts, hobbies, games and
disgusting talks. One should practise; how to live during hunger. Every desire
rises when it is raised up, and sets, when it is suppressed. Absurd words,
abusive language, obscene songs, dancing, twisting and modulation, erotic
novels and fables, and unreasonable eating and drinking are the things, which
stir up the desire, so, one should be saved from them, otherwise, one will be
ill-treated at the time of death and after death.
·
The human
being cannot be satisfied in the world by fulfilling own desires badly. Passion
ends in minutes and seconds, but after that, its bad results pursue closely in
spite of everything, and become cause of torment always, without intention of
true repentance and abstinence, and forthcoming pedigrees suffer the trouble
due to their bad results.
