Abdullah Oduro – The Quranic Call Juz 20 – Preferring the Desire of Purification Over Our Own

			Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu me the Peace and blessings of Allah be upon you all. As
we hear all the time people say that Islam is a way of life. And that's true. Islam is a way of life
individually how we deal with ourselves when we are by ourselves with our families, and in society.
And as we know, Islam does address societal issues. It addresses the society, the societal etiquette
and how we should act in a society amongst one another. What are the do's and don'ts, if you will?
Well, one of the things that a lot of Allah mentions is the whole concept of what we know as
homosexuality. Now, it's important for us to understand
		

			that homosexuality islamically is that which is forbidden, there is no difference of opinion on
whether it is permissible for a man to have a relationship with another man to where it leads to
sexually that is impermissible and primarily because it does not lead to any offspring. But if
someone was to be that that is between them and Allah subhanho wa Tada. But for us as Muslims, we
say, generically, homosexuality is impermissible. It is not allowed for a man to try to marry
another man or a woman otherwise, and allows the petrodollar dresses this particularly during the
time of Prophet loot. Well, last month, Allah says in the 28 Jews chapter number 27, verses 54
		

			through 58. Allah subhanaw taala gives a brief snippet of what Luke said to the people he says that
there will be limitations on our gene will open if all and he called me he attacked tone and fat he
shut up well Anton turbo Ceylon in accumulated tuna, Raja min Dune and Isa Bell unto ominto Jihoon.
Well, Allah says, my little one is calling they call me a lot when he said to his people, are you
verily? A permitting this act? And you all can see, are you all coming to this fat he's a fascist,
fascist, fascist, that is a sin or an abominable act. And you all can see you all know what's going
on? And then he says exactly what type of fashion it is. You know, there are many things that we see
		

			in entertainment and movies, whether it's, you know, Zina adultery, a man with a woman is that which
is not permissible without marriage. And even worse than that, as we believe, as homosexuality is
that which is not permissible. So Allah says, in the loop, as are you verily approaching men, men
approaching men shaohua 10 with your desires and not approaching women, but unemployment. Rather you
are people that are doing the actions of the people of ignorance that you are going beyond the
bounds of what Allah has provided from you for the from the opposite gender, and then Allah subhanaw
taala mentions their rebuttal and this is where we want to capitalize on for Matt Kana joab ghomi he
		

			Illa all who have renew adult immune Korea to come in hoonah Sunita to her own Allah says and they
did not answer except that they said a free Jew Anna Luton and let expel the people of loot the
people that are following him his family Alan Luton expelled them, get kicked him out, kick them out
of our of our locality of the country of whatever area we are in, kick him out. Why will it get
their reason? In the whole NASA thing? It's a very they are people that want to purify themselves.
Look how they ridicule him. Now think of the names that you as a Muslim, the things that you tried
to do and how people in society may make fun of you because you're trying to be moral. You're trying
		

			to get married, what you're trying to save yourself, you know, these actions of purity that if they
were to sit and think about it, and as a matter of fact, if they were honest, they say yes, it's
true. It's a good thing. But this is what I want to do. I want to obey my thirst. So they said kick
him out For verily they're trying to be pure. You they want to be pure and holy.
		

			This is what a lawsuit kind of what data mentions that they said. So a lawsuit kind of what the
other mentions after that how after he says format Canada call me in their own call of Purdue and a
lot email Korea to come in hoonah Sunita Hello. And the last one to Allah says and we have sent upon
them a fire I'm pouring rain full of stones. So I'm gonna lay him up on for say, a matar on Monday.
So Allah subhanaw taala mentions that we sent upon them plentiful rain of stones, it was actually
stones that descended upon them. And it was a painful torment for the ones that were warned. And
this is what allows upon Allah mentioned a couple of verses after that because before that last
		

			month, Allah mentions that he says fine Jay now who I know who elaborate who, but the minimal have
been so right after you mentioned is the the answer of the people saying that expel a lot because
they're trying to be pure in his family, that Allah Allah makes a very important distinction. He
says we saved him
		

			As people lot
		

			except his wife, we predestined that she would be from the people that stayed. Why did she stay the
scholars mentioned, she didn't practice the act of homosexuality, as some scholars mentioned, but
she did not make in car. She did not censure that act that was going on in society. And this is very
important for us as Muslims. When we see something in society, it's important for you to have an
opinion on it, whether with at least with your in yourself with your family members, and if you are
in a position, you have to say it in a manner that is conducive to still calling those people to
that which is good. But the punishment of a lawsuit kinda with data came to them in the fashion in
		

			the way of raining sending a rainstorm of stones, further punishing them as we know as the people of
Sodom and Gomorrah. So it's important for us to know brothers and sisters from this chapter from
these verses.
		

			That it's important Yes, Islam does call us to calling to the good but in the same token, one has to
prevent the evil, prevent the evil, especially if it's if it is in a society from spreading, and
taking that prevention preventative measures, and that which is conducive for yourself, your family
in society. May Allah subhanho wa Taala protect us all from any immoral actions to creep into our
homes and in our hearts. A Santa Monica rahmatullah wa better cats. Thank you
