“(The pagans), leaving Him (GOD), call but upon female deities: they call but upon Satan the persistent rebel! GOD did curse him, but he said: ‘I will take of Your servants a portion marked off. I will mislead them and I will create in them false desires; I will order them to slit the ears of cattle and to deface the (fair) nature created by GOD.’ Whoever, forsaking GOD, takes Satan for a friend, has of a surety suffered a loss that is manifest.”

Quran 4:117-119

This is part of a prophetic warning from Satan (Shaytan) to those who reject GOD, describing the kinds of acts he will urge them to commit. 

‘I will certainly mislead them (Mankind) and I will arouse in them [sinful] desires. Also, I will order them, and they will slit the ears of cattle (a pre-Islamic practice in Arabia) and alter the {fair} nature created by GOD.” And whoever takes Satan as a guardian instead of GOD has certainly suffered a tremendous loss.‘

Indeed fornication, and homosexuality although prevalent within society, are expressly forbidden in both the Quran and the Bible.

Biblical Usage:

Fornication: In biblical usage, refers broadly to sexual immorality outside marriage, including adultery, prostitution, and premarital sex. It is consistently condemned as contrary to what GOD has designed for sexuality.

Homosexuality: The Old Testament law explicitly forbids male same-sex acts, and the New Testament reaffirms this prohibition, linking it to idolatry and moral corruption.

Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 19, Jude 1:7): Often cited as examples of divine judgment against sexual immorality, including homosexual acts.

Old Testament:
Leviticus 18:22 – “You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.”

Leviticus 20:13 – “If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable.”

Deuteronomy 23:17–18 – Prohibits prostitution and dedicating earnings from it to God’s house.

New Testament:
Romans 1:26–27 – Condemns both men and women abandoning natural relations for same-sex acts.

1 Corinthians 6:9–10 – Lists “fornicators” and “men who have sex with men” among those who will not inherit the kingdom of God.

1 Thessalonians 4:3–5 – Commands believers to abstain from sexual immorality and control their bodies in holiness.

Hebrews 13:4 – “Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.”

QURANIC Usage:

Fornication is forbidden:

And do not approach unlawful sexual intercourse. Indeed, it is ever an immorality and is evil as a way which opens the road (to other evils).. Quran 17:32

The woman and the man guilty of adultery or fornication― flog each of them with a hundred stripes: let not compassion move you in their case, in a matter prescribed by GOD, if you believe in GOD and the Last Day: and let a party of the Believers witness their punishment. Quran 24:2

If any of your women are guilty of unlawful sexual intercourse, take the evidence of four (reliable) witnesses from amongst you against them; and if they testify, confine them to houses until death claims them, or GOD ordain for them some (other) way. If two persons among you are guilty of lewdness punish them both. If they repent and amend leave them alone; for GOD is Oft-Returning, Most Merciful. Quran 4:15-16

Homosexuality is forbidden in multiple passages recounting the story of Prophet Loṭ:

We also (sent) Lot: he said to his people: “Do you commit lewdness such as no people in creation (ever) committed before you? “For you practice your lusts on men in preference to women: you are indeed a people transgressing beyond bounds.” Quran 7:80-81

“Of all the creatures in the world, will you approach males. “And leave those whom GOD has created for you to be your mates? No, you are a people transgressing (all limits)!” Quran 26:165-166

“Do you do what is shameful though you see (its iniquity)? “Would you really approach men in your lusts rather than women? No, you are a people (grossly) ignorant!” Quran 27:54-55

And (remember) Lot; behold he said to his people: “You do commit lewdness, such as no people in Creation (ever) committed before you. “Do you indeed approach men and cut off the highway? And practice wickedness (even) in your councils?” But his people gave no answer but this: they said: “Bring us the Wrath of GOD if you are truthful.” Quran 29:28-29

Fornication (zinā) is a kabīrah (major sin) with fixed punishments (ḥadd) in Islamic law.

Homosexual acts (liwāṭ) are also classified as kabāʾir (major sins). Classical scholars unanimously interpreted the verses about Lūṭ’s people as a prohibition of same‑sex intercourse

Both fornication (zinā) and homosexuality (liwāṭ) are explicitly forbidden in the Qur’an. Fornication is condemned as a major sin with prescribed punishments, while homosexuality is described as al‑fāḥishah (the gravest immorality) through the story of Prophet Loṭ and his people.

“And whoever takes Satan as a guardian instead of GOD has certainly suffered a tremendous loss.“

Satan Warns:

“I will surely mislead them (Mankind), and I will arouse in them [sinful] desires, and I will command them so they will slit the ears of cattle, and I will command them so they will change the creation of GOD.”
