Tafsīr

قرآن حکیم (شرح آیات منتخب)

کسانی که پاکدامنی را حق خود نمی‌شمردند!

عجیب این که آن قوم گمراه به لوط می‌گفتند که ما به دختران تو تمایل نداریم و اصلاً این کار حق ما نیست. این تعبیرء بیانگر نهایت انحراف آنهاست و نشان می‌دهد که کار یک جامعةٌ آلوده به جایی می‌رسد که حق را باطل و باطل را حق می‌بیند و راضی به ازدواج با دختران پاک و باایمان نیست؛ ولی انحراف جنسی را حق می‌داند. مرحلةٌ نهایی و خطرناک عادت کردن و خو گرفتن به گناه این است که مرتکبین آن» ننگین‌ترین و زشت‌ترین اعمال را حق خود می‌شمارند و پاک‌ترین بهره‌گیری جنسی را ناحق می‌دانند.*؟
