The Story of Lut - (Lot) - لوط


According to Islamic tradition, Lut (لوط )lived in Ur and was a nephew of Ibrahim (Abraham). His story is often used as a reference by traditional Muslim scholars to show that homosexuality is forbidden. He was commanded by God to go to the land of Sodom and Gomorrah to preach to his people on monotheism (the belief that there is only one God) and to stop them from their sinful acts.

Such acts include practicing all acts of indecency (aggression) in their public places of assembly and meetings. He was sent to a nation where homosexuality was widespread. He was sent to guide them out of this evil act. Islam prohibits homosexuality very strongly. They also used to kill and rob travelers, cheat their friends and cut off the highway.

As mentioned in the Qur'an Lut's messages are ignored by his people, Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed and his wife also was left behind to be destroyed. However, this does not mean that his wife used to practice homosexuality but worshiped what her people used to worship (i.e she was a polytheist).

And Lot, who said to his nation: 'Do you commit such indecency (sodomy) in a way that no one has preceded you in the worlds? You approach men lustfully instead of women. Truly, you are a nation who exceed (in sin).' The only answer of his nation was: 'Expel them from your village. They are people who keep themselves purified.' We saved him and all his family, except his wife, who was made to remain, and We rained down upon them a rain. So look how was the end of the evildoers.

Qur'an 7:80-84
Messengers came to Abraham with glad tidings. They said: 'Peace!' He replied 'Peace!' and in a while brought them a roasted calf.

But when he saw that their hands did not reach towards it, he was wary and became fearful of them, but they said: 'Do not be afraid. We are sent to the nation of Lot.' His wife (Sarah), who was standing nearby, laughed. Thereupon, We gave her the good news of Isaac, and after Isaac of Jacob. She replied: 'Alas for me! Shall I bear (a child) when I am old woman and my husband is advanced in years? This is indeed a strange thing.' They said: 'What, do you marvel at the command of God? The Mercy of God and His Blessings be upon you, O people of the House. Indeed, He is Praised, Exalted.' And when the wonderment departed from Abraham and the glad tidings reached him, he pleaded with Us for the nation of Lot; indeed, Abraham was forbearing, tenderhearted and penitent. (It was said:) 'Abraham, turn away from this; your Lord's command has indeed come, and there is coming upon them a punishment that will not be turned back.' And when Our messengers came to Lot, he was troubled and distressed for them, and said: 'This is a harsh day.' His nation came running towards him; whilst they were doing evil deeds. 'My nation,' he said: 'here are my daughters (take them in marriage), they are cleaner for you. Fear God and do not humiliate me by my guests. Is there not one man amongst you of right mind?' They replied: 'You know we have no right for your daughters. You know very well what we desire.' He said: 'Would that I were powerful over you, or might take refuge in a strong pillar!' They (the angels) said: 'Lot, we are the Messengers of your Lord, they shall not touch you. Depart with your family in the watch of the night and let none of you turn round, except your wife. She shall be struck by that which strikes them. Their appointed time is the morning. Is it not that the morning is near?' And when Our command came, We turned it upside down, and rained on it, stone after stone of baked clay, marked with your Lord, and never far from the evildoers.


Qur'an 11:69-83
Your Lord, He is the Almighty, the Most Merciful.

Lot's nation, belied their Messengers. When their brother Lot said to them: 'Will you not be cautious? I am for you an honest Messenger. So fear God, and obey me. ask of you no wage for this; my wage is only with the Lord of the Worlds. What, do you come to the males of the world, and leave your wives whom your Lord has created for you? No, but you are a transgressing nation.' 'Lot,' they replied, 'if you do not desist, you shall be thrown out.' He said: 'Truly, I am a detester of what you do.' 'My Lord, save me and my people from that they are doing.' So We saved him and all his people, except an old woman who stayed behind, then We destroyed the others. We rained upon them a rain, and evil is the rain (of stones) on those that are warned. Surely, in that there is a sign. Yet most of them do not believe. Your Lord, He is the Almighty, the Most Merciful.


Qur'an 26:159-175

The Qur'an makes a more explicit scriptural connection between homosexual aggression and Sodom. The city name ‘Sodom’ does not appear there, but the Sodomites are referred to as “the people of Lut (Lot).” Lot is the nephew of the Hebrew/Arabic patriarch Abraham and, in the Judaic Sodom stories, is head of the only family allowed by God to survive Sodom's destruction. In the Qur'an, he is also the divinely appointed national prophet to his people. Since their national name was unrecorded and “people of Lot” was the only available designation, the Islamic equivalent of ‘sodomy’ has become ‘liwat,’ which could be roughly translated as “lottishness”.

According to Islamic view, homosexuality is not a natural activity and it was initiated under the influence of Satan among the people who dwell in Sodom and Gomorrah. In order that they should abandon this immorality, Allah had sent to them Lut as a Prophet.

It is evident from this verse that the sin of the Sodomites was indeed homosexuality (specifically, amongst men) in the Islamic context.

In Islam sodomy (Anal sex) is forbidden whether done with a man or a woman.

Historicity and Archaeological remains of Sodom and Gomorrah

The historical existence of Sodom and Gomorrah is still in dispute by archaeologists. Some say they were located near the Dead Sea.

An Akkadian poem describing cities that were destroyed in a rain of fire, written from the view of a person who escaped the destruction, however the names of the cities are not given.

The name “Sodom” is probably related to the Arabic sadama meaning 'fasten,' 'fortify,' 'strengthen' and Gomorrah is based on the root gh m r which means 'be deep,' 'copious (water)'.


The cities may have been destroyed as the result of a natural cataclysm. Geologists have confirmed that no volcanic activity occurred within the last 4000 years, but it is possible that the towns were destroyed by an earthquake in the region, especially if the towns lie along a major fault, the Jordan Rift Valley, the northernmost extension of the Great Rift Valley of the Red Sea and East Africa.

Possible candidates for Sodom or Gomorrah are the sites discovered or visited by Walter E. Rast and R. Thomas Schaub in 1973, including Bab edh-Dhra, which was originally excavated in 1965 by archaeologist Paul Lapp, only to have his work continued by Rast and Schuab following his death by accidental drowning in the waters off of Cyprus in 1970. All sites were located near the Dead Sea, with evidence of burning and traces of sulphur on many of the stones and a sudden stop of inhabitation towards the end of the Early Bronze Age. Archaeological remains excavated from Bab edh-Dhra are currently displayed in Karak Archaeological Museum (Karak Castle) and Amman Citadel Museum.

The site of the present Dead Sea Works, a large operation for the extraction of Dead Sea minerals, is called "Sdom" according to its traditional Arab name, Khirbet Usdum. Nearby is unique Mount Sdom or Jabal Usdum in Arabic, consisting mainly of salt. In the Plain of Sdom to the south there are a few springs and two small agricultural villages.

Still others insist that the cities are located under the Southern most portions of the Dead Sea. In 1924 an Expedition found five Oases at the southeast corder of the Dad Sea, all made by fresh water streams. Also in the area, on a plain 500 feet above the level of the Dad Sea, they found the remains of a great fortified enclosure, evidently a high place for religious festivals. Just downstream from this site is thought to be the locations of Sodom and Gomorrah. However another quote from Josephus said "The traces or shadows of the ...cities are still to be seen", and the level of the Dead Sea has actually dropped since Josephus' time. So, one could reason, that if Josephus could see the ruins of the cities, we should be able to as well.

The most interesting theory found is that the two cities are above ground and easily researched and they have some pretty convincing evidence.

In areas just to the South/Southwest of the Dead Sea are rock structures which have an amazing resemblance to man made structures. The walls of a city, standalone buildings, even some sort of a sphinx formation which may have been an ancient place of worship. Many of the cuts in the rock are perfect 90 degree angles and symmetrical - which rarely happens in the wild.

The Qur'an says "We rained down on them a shower (of brimstone): And evil was the shower on those who were admonished (but heeded not)! - 26:174" and wouldn't you know it, they've found sulfur (brimstone) balls. Lots of them. Some of them are actually embedded in the walls (see right) which would seem to indicate that they were moving at an incredible rate of speed.

The walls of the city in the picture below are quite evident. No speculation needed. The houses and buildings were actually quite substantial in size, suggesting a people of great stature once inhabited these cities. The walls and everything in the cities were turned completely to ash!

The walls of the city are large and imposing (6k) These buildings may be 30-40 feet tall (5k)

Here is a mound that looks as if it had been a ziggurat (a pagan pyramidal temple). Outside of some of the cities were large shapes that were very similar in shape to the Great Sphinx of Egypt.

Hundreds of sulfur balls were found and collected. On two occasions, the investigation teams entered the cities after a rain fall. The glass surrounding the balls glistened in the light, the rain having exposed millions of the balls.

The balls themselves were composed of pressed pure powder sulfur. Checking with volcanic experts around the world confirmed that no where else in the world, even around volcanic activity, were any balls of this composition found.
When the balls had fallen from heaven, they were estimated to be around 5,000 degrees Celsius (or around 9,000 degrees Fahrenheit). After consuming everything that was around them, the heat continue to melt the ash that had formed around them, vitrifying (turning to glass) the ash. Thus the balls were surrounded by a glassy casing of melted and re-solidified ash.

Here's one sitting on the edge of a wall (7k) The heat from the sulfur balls discolored the ash around them (5k)

Some what were thought to be gold coins were found. However, upon analysis, it was found that the coins had been turned into gold salts. The heat had literally burned up the gold in the coins turning them to gold ash.

On the way to Mrs Tan's house 5-12-1975



Ingat lagi peristiwa ini. Saya rasa kita ambil jalan pintas ke Jalan besar, tu sebab terpaksa mendaki bukit. Di belakang ialah blok klas, kelihatan baru lagi. Mesti kawasan ini dah berubah sekarang. Norizan dan Kak yut sedang mentelaah sambil berjalan kaki, tu sebab depa lebih pandai dari kawan-kawan lain!. Soyah dan kak Sham pakai tudung stail Mak Datin, feshen zaman dolu.

Tempura recipe

I love Tempura, and the most important ingredient is the batter. Malays like to fry their bananas or yams but sometimes it becomes too soggy. A nicely cooked Tempura is crispy and light. Try this recipe and you'll be hooked. My Indon maid now is an expert in making tempura.

If you are in KL, drop by at Saisaki in UOA building (in front of KLCC Convention Centre) or their branches, Shogun at Sunway Pyramid or One Utama, for Japanese buffet. They charge only Rm50 per person and serve lovely Tempura and Sushis. I don't recommend eating at Sushi King. It is overpriced.

how-to-make-tempura

This will work for most type of tempura, from shrimp to vegetables, and even bananas!

Ingredients
  • assorted ingredients to tempura (shrimp, onion, carrot, broccoli, etc.)
  • 1 cup ice cold water
  • 1 large egg
  • 3/4 cup flour-You can get a special Malaysian make Tempura flour at Giant
  • 1/8 tsp baking soda- optional
  • cooking oil
  • Salt to taste
Cooking Directions
  1. In a medium bowl, mix the water and the egg.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix the flour and baking soda.
  3. Stir the flour mix into the egg mix. It’s okay if the batter is a little lumpy.
  4. Stick the batter in the fridge while you prepare the other ingredients.
  5. If you are using shrimp, peel, de-vein, and wash it. Make some small cuts across the belly of the shrimp, to keep it from curling when you cook it.
  6. If you are using vegetables, clean them and cut them into your desired size. Try not to use very soft ingredients, as they will soften as they cook (softer ingredients tend to fall apart when you take it out of the oil).
  7. Heat the oil in a frying pan. The oil should be hot enough that when you drip batter in it, the drops come to the top immediately.
  8. Coat your ingredients in the batter. Place the coated ingredients in the hot oil, turning when the bottom side is browned.
  9. Place the fried ingredients on a paper towel to drain. Remove any skewers. Serve immediately

Tips for Making Crispy Tempura

Cooking Tips for Tempura

Tip 1: Ice
Use ice water for the batter. This is really important to prevent the batter from absorbing too much oil. The colder the water, the better.

Tip 2: Batter
Do not make the batter ahead of time. Try not to over mix the batter and not to coat ingredients with the batter too much.

Tip 3: Frying Order
If you are frying both seafood and vegetables, fry vegetables first. Then, fry seafood. Fry vegetables at 340F degree and fry seafood at 350F degree. Do not overfill your kuali when frying tempura as the oil temp will drop and make the tempura soggy. Rule of thumb, only one third kuali fill with tempura.

Tip 4: Oil Temperature
To check the temperature of frying oil, drop a little batter into the oil. If the batter comes up right away instead of sinking to the bottom of the pan, it's about 360 F degree. If the batter goes halfway to the bottom and comes up, it's about 340F degree. This is said to be the right temperature to fry tempura.

Closeup inside bus, trip to KL 20-6-1975



I feel there was a sense of camaraderie among us boys in 5E1 during that time. There were always goodwill and lighthearted rapport between us friends and this comradeship lasted for only two years. After MCE, and after our camping trips to Pulau Besar and Port Dickson we all went our separate ways, and most of us have not met until now. What a long 30 years wait for some of us! We don't feel fragile and vulnerable when we were young, but when reaching 5o, whatever age left now is a bonus!

In fact yesterday i received an sms from Ahmad Ridza informing that one of our former classmate from High School Muar had passed away due to heart attack in Temerloh. Fauzi Salim was a likeable and pleasant guy from Muar. We used to play football together during school days and he would be the Manager, arranging football matches against other teams. On weekends, friends would meet up at his place and lepak. To us his house was the centre of the universe! He was a chubby chap at that time and still overweight when he graduated from UPM (Those from our batch in UPM would know him). My condolences to his family. He was only 50.

AlFatiha to arwah Fauzi Salim, semuga roh beliau di rahmati Allah. Amin.

Lihat perbezaan kedua gambar, yang pertama saya ambil pada tahun 1975. Gambar kedua dari blog Azmi Ahmad, a Muarian from SPM 82 (Tq) yang diambil pada 1999. Tak banyak perbezaan kecuali pokok renek yang sudah membesar didalam hostel. Di luar hostel pula, pokok palm dah tinggi melangit!

Saorang jurutera struktur akan merekabentuk bangunan konkrit dengan jangka hidup (lifespan) 50 tahun. Bangunan konkrit boleh bertahan melebehi 50 tahun jika dilaksanakan program selenggara yang sistematik, kerana proses oxidasi boleh menyebabkan teletulang menjadi karat dan menyebabkan kelemahan kepada struktur. Saya kira bangunan hostel ini baru berumur 35 tahun, dan masih kukuh untuk 15 tahun lagi. Hanya pendawaian letrik perlu ditukar setiap 15 tahun.

This piece from FARIDAH ZAINAL............

Zak, u have gradually made me reminiscing the moments of our twilight schooldays. Thanks for the effort. I think I,m going to accept ur challenge …. reminiscing our puppy love… Before I start, my recollections are quite blur … so if anyone mind to correct, add in or comment on the incidents, u r most welcome….

It all started when our seniors reported in. There would be the night to welcome them and one of the programme was a stage show by the fresh ‘seniors’. I was among the AJK who were suppose to search for a “MR. PERFECT” (another group search for a “ MISS PERFECT”??????). So we started to look out for the abang-abang senior who could fit in the criteria : most handsome, smart, good character, disciplined etc, etc…..

In the mist of eyeing the candidate, i bumped onto this abang….. instantly my heart jumped to my throat….. I saw a face I thought I’d never see as attractive as this one for a thousand years…… that was the beginning…… at the canteen door.

So, I found my “MR. PERFECT” but I didn’t know anything about him….his name, which class, etc..etc.. I couldn’t nominate him … what a shame…. somebody else won the tittle I guess.

That stage night, one of the abangs managed to persuade me to take a minor part in their show – a last minute gesture when they saw me, alone, back stage. I was there trying to seek the glimpse of my idol… They had my costumes ready and all I had to do was just walk towards the centre stage and jump histerically, shouting, when the ghosts (abangs in a black suit with white skeleton) appeared. And u know what happened after that? HE came to my rescue …. I was flabberghasted… (there was some pictures taken but I had none in my possession ……(care to add in????))

Since then, his sight made me shudder and cold blood rushed my entire veins and capillaries and cold sweat ran down my temples. Everytime at the dining hall, I was too afraid to look around lest I saw him and that would cut off my appetite. Once or twice we accidentally sat facing each other ….. I was so nervous… I couln’t swallow my food… I immediately ran down with fever……. still… I didn’t know his name and which classroom……

I didn’t know why but it seemed that he knew my enigma and so were the rest of his friends… during evening joggings the group would rest and whenever I passed them …. they would sing this hindustani song “me sya ir toh nehi…….” only that one line. Then they started calling me “Bobby..” and mentioning another name “Raju” maybe referring to HIM. Still, I didn’t know his name and which classroom….. and I didn’t see him….

I forgot how it came about but we did meet one day at the empty room beside the canteen – for the first time face to face. Not much was said for I was too scared, shy plus staggered. The brief meeting left me remembering these golden words of his: “Study hard for your MCE and for your future. If God permits, we’ll meet again outside somewhere..” Another time was when he signaled to me from the third floor classroom while I was playing volleyball with u all…. I ran upstairs to find him with a hard-cover orange book (Kinetics – argh…I forgot…) in which was a letter. He handed me the book with a smile and no words were exchanged…. (I can’t remember what was written). I forgot how I return the book and how I replied the letter.

I remember vaguely one weekend, a few of us gals went visiting Yut’s house. Then we went to HIS house. I wondered how that came about and I can’t remember where was/is his house. (anybody can elaborate?????)

By the end of our school term everyone was saying goodbyes…. I gave the abangs to write something in my book (autograph???) where they are supposed to write lyrics. The abangs mentioned the name BOBBY and Raju…and so many good words. HE wrote down a malay song which I didn’t know but the words was so romantic…. and he signed with love …. RAJU….. (I lost this book a few months later…. and so did the memories… in fact I lost so many things like photos, t-shirts anything that could remind me of SMSJ…. that explains for my poor recalls besides the catastrophy I faced during 1982 and 1983 when I fell really sick)

We went exchanging letters during the departure. I did meet him when I was in ITM (1977/78) at his hostel in UPM (Open Day) with Haslina who brought me there. I knew, I was not his match and my instincts were right when he finally wrote a goodbye letter. I thought I would weep but I couldn’t cos I had anticipated this moment all along.

WELL ZACK, MY PUPPY LOVE WAS ACTUALLY ONE-SIDED. IN FACT IT WAS SO EXTREME THAT I CONFIDED MY MOTHER ABOUT IT. SHE CONSOLED ME BY GIVING ME ‘AIR YASSIN’ SO THAT I COULD FORGET HIM. FINALLY HE WAS OUT OF MY MINE IN 1979 ……

NOTE: NO WORRIES ABOUT HUSBAND
