Surah Al-A'raf — Ayah 81 (7:81)

The Heights · Makkah · Juz 8 · Mushaf page 160 of 604

إِنَّكُمۡ لَتَأۡتُونَ ٱلرِّجَالَ شَهۡوَةٗ مِّن دُونِ ٱلنِّسَآءِۚ بَلۡ أَنتُمۡ قَوۡمٞ مُّسۡرِفُونَ ٨١

English translation (Saheeh International)

Indeed, you approach men with desire, instead of women. Rather, you are a transgressing people."

Brief commentary

'Do you go to men to satisfy your lust instead of women, who you were supposed to go to?! Then in that case you have not followed sense or any sound report or even what is natural! Rather you have gone beyond the limits of Allah, overstepping the bounds of moderation, good sense and the natural nobility of humankind.
