الآية رقم (16) - وَاللَّذَانَ يَأْتِيَانِهَا مِنكُمْ فَآذُوهُمَا فَإِن تَابَا وَأَصْلَحَا فَأَعْرِضُواْ عَنْهُمَا إِنَّ اللّهَ كَانَ تَوَّابًا رَّحِيمًا

(16) - {And the two who commit it among you, dishonor them both. But if they repent and correct themselves, leave them alone. Indeed, Allah is ever Accepting of repentance and Merciful.}

The scholars said that this verse relates to the homosexuality, which is religiously prohibited as stated in this verse. Allah (swt) made the straight instinct in the human beings in a way that there is acceptance between a man and a woman according to the rules that control desires through marriage and its conditions. As the previous verse talked about the women commit illegal sexual intercourse, and that the accusation should be according to four witnesses, aiming to preserve honor and lineage, Islam also, on the other hand, forbids homosexuality. Those who demand the legislating of homosexuality, which leads to destruction of values, are blind from the fact that it is the main reason for the disintegration of Western societies and the spread of AIDS and other diseases. There is no doubt that Moral turpitude is a social and health disease that reflects on all humanity because of abandoning the values brought by the heavenly religions. This is very clear in the teachings of the Holy Quran. The woman is not a tool for adornment, amusement and bodily pleasure, but rather she is a partner of man in all matters of life, and a person must not let his lust lead him to the bottom and destruction, but the wise man is the one who can control his desire according to the limits set by Allah (swt).

فَإِن تَابَا وَأَصْلَحَا فَأَعْرِضُواْ عَنْهُمَا {But if they repent and correct themselves, leave them alone.}: There is a repeated call for reform in society, which is repentance. so If a person repents and fixes what the wrongs that he has done, then Allah (swt) has been and is still merciful.

إِنَّ اللّهَ كَانَ تَوَّابًا رَّحِيمًا Indeed, Allah is ever Accepting of repentance and Merciful.}: Allah (swt) accepts sincere repentance from all creation.

He (swt) is the Most Merciful; He shows mercy to a person by not making him fall into sin.
