Ata'toona aththukrana mina alAAalameen (surah Shuara: 165)

Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi

(26:165) Do you go to the males from the creatures of the world, *108

Ataatoonaz zukraana minal `aalameen

*108) This can have two meanings: (1) Of all the creatures you have chosen males only for the purpose of gratifying your sex desires, whereas there are plenty of women in the world; and (2) You alone are the people in the whole world, who go to men to satisfy the sex desires; even the animals do not resort to this. This second meaning has been explained in Surahs Al-A'raf and Al- 'Ankabut thus: "Have you become so shameless that you commit such indecent acts as no one committed before you in the world?" (Al-A'raf: 80).
