[soc.religion.islam] Fighting Plagues

r1fns@vax1.cc.uakron.edu (Fadi N Sibai) (05/30/91)

Ibn Umar related that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said:

Whenever obscene practices appear among a people to the extent that
they make them public, there shall appear among them plagues and
agonies which were unknown to their ancestors.

Doesn't this Hadith [words of the Messenger (PBUH)] make the approach
taken currently to fight AIDS (as well as other diseases) look
surprisingly awkward and vain !!?
