Our age has witnessed the birth of the petrol engine, air and space travel, TV and satellite communications and the web of computers that seem to control our every action. In this new fast age, morals, sincerity and scruples are very much things of the past. Family life is in disarray, drinking is prevalent, gambling is an everyday must for some people and vice is considered normal. Certainly not God's, for God condemns these acts very clearly. The story of Lot is found in both the Bible and the Quran.
Violence is seen on every street and in every part of the world every day.
No one is safe. Mugging, murder and rape are reported daily on every news channel in every part of the world. Drugs are also a big problem for the society. Drugs dissolve the body, they dissolve the mind and they dissolve the soul and yet many people destroy themselves by taking drugs. We not only have to contend with a decaying society, we also have to content with disasters of the natural kind.
