‘… here are my daughters: they are purer

For you’… (Q.11:78)The statement above was made by Prophet Lūt to discourage

Answer Details
The statement "here are my daughters: they are purer for you" was made by Prophet Lut to discourage homosexuality. This incident is mentioned in the Quran when Prophet Lut's community, the people of Sodom and Gomorrah, were known for engaging in homosexuality and other immoral acts. When two angels visited Prophet Lut in the form of men, the men of the city demanded that he turn them over so they could have sexual relations with them. Prophet Lut, being a prophet of God, refused to comply with their demands and offered his daughters to them as a means of discouraging their immoral behavior. He hoped that by offering them an alternative, they would refrain from their homosexual desires. Therefore, the statement "here are my daughters: they are purer for you" was a means of discouraging homosexuality and promoting moral behavior.
