What's in Mamdani's Quran? Jan 5, 2026 New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has become the first NYC Mayor to take his oath of office on the Quran. But what does his Quran say? Let's take a look! Where is Madonna, Jane Fonda, Scarlett Johannson, and Ashley Judd? Qur'anic Ayahs and AHadiths on Homosexuality The Prophet of Islam said: "Whoever you find committing the sin of the people of Lut (Lot), kill them, both the one who does it and the one to whom it is done" - i.e. if it is done with consent. (This hadeeth was narrated by al-Tirmidhi in his Sunan, 1376.) The scholars of Islam, such as Maalik, al-Shaafi'i, Ahmad and Ishaaq said that the person guilty of this crime (sodomy) should be stoned, whether he is married or unmarried. And Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): "Nay, Allaah never commands Fahshaa' (evil deeds, unlawful sexual intercourse). Do you say of Allaah what you know not?" [al-A'raaf 7:28] "Do you approach the males of humanity, leaving the wives Allah has created for you? But you are a people who transgress" (Quran 26:165-66). The Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said: (1) "Kill the one who sodomizes and the one who lets it be done to him." "May Allah curse him who does what Lot's people did." "Lesbianism by women is adultery between them." And Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): "Nay, Allaah never commands Fahshaa' (evil deeds, unlawful sexual intercourse). Do you say of Allaah what you know not?" [al-A'raaf 7:28] "And Lot! (Remember) when he said unto his folk: Will ye commit abomination such as no creature ever did before you? Lo! ye come with lust unto men instead of women. Nay, but ye are wanton folk." (Quran: 7:80-81)
