19 - Sexual crime, Transgression and Wrath
The word “sexual crime” (fahsha) and its derivatives are used 24 times in the Quran. The word “transgression” (baghy) and its derivatives are used 24 times also. Since these behaviors deserve wrath, the word “wrath” also is used 24 times in the Quran.
The relationship between the words “sexual crime” (fahsha) and “transgression” is seen clearly in the verse below:
90- …and forbidden sexual crime, impropriety and transgression…
16. The Honey-Bees 90
An example for the wrath is below:
7- The path of those whom you blessed, not of those who have deserved the wrath, nor the strayers.
