1.  Imam  Ja’far  Sadiq    relates  that  the  community  of Prophet  Lut    was  involved  in  homosexual  relations excessively. Hence, the earth cried so much in front of the Lord that its tears reached the heavens and heavens cried so much that their tears reached the Divine Throne. Then Allah ordered  the  sky  to  rain  stones  on  those  people  and  He ordered the earth to swallow them.”
