The Majestic Quran

“My people, I delivered My Lord’s message sincerely to you, but you don’t like the one who gives you sincere advice.” 97 T P L 80 And remember Lot, when he said to his people, “Why do you commit indecent acts that have no precedence anywhere in the whole world? 81 You approach men with lust rather than women.
