Transliteration:( Wa maaa as'alukum 'alaihi min ajrin in ajriya illaa 'alaa Rabbil 'aalameen )
163. My only reward is that you should accept faith through which I would be credited in the Hereafter.
164. From this we learn that sodomy is the creation for the people of Lut. This was not practised before by anyone. For this reason, this abominable practice has been called LAWATAH (derivation from Lut).
Furthermore, even an animal does not indulge in this filthy practice. As is understood from "from among the creatures". A sodomite is worse than an animal. Also, the infidels, too, are duty-bound to such laws because these are laws included in general behaviour.
They are only excluded from laws pertaining to worship, and a few social ordinances.
