Surah Al-'Ankabut — Ayah 29 (29:29)

English translation (Saheeh International)

Indeed, you approach men and obstruct the road¹ and commit in your meetings [every] evil." And the answer of his people was not but that they said, "Bring us the punishment of Allāh, if you should be of the truthful."

1. - i.e., commit highway robbery and acts of aggression against travelers.

Brief commentary

Do you approach men from their backsides to satisfy your lust, cut off the way for travellers who cannot pass by you for fear of the obscene sin that you perpetrate, commit evil acts in your gatherings such as nudity and harm those who pass by with words and actions? But the only response from his people after he prohibited them from doing evil acts was that they said to him: Bring upon us Allah's punishment that you threaten us with, if you are truthful in your claim.
