انكم لتاتون الرجال شهوة من دون النساء بل انتم قوم مسرفون ٨١

إِنَّكُمْ لَتَأْتُونَ
innakum
“You approach men…”
أَئِنَّكُمْ لَتَأْتُونَ
a-innakum
“Would you really approach men…?”

Explanation

These readings amount to the same meaning, as the statement is a continuation of the rhetorical question by which Prophet Lot (pbuh) rebukes the people. In the second reading, that rebuke is reinforced with the repeated interrogative particle [Makki].

He has revealed to you ˹O Prophet˺ the Book in truth, confirming what came before it, as He revealed the Torah and the Gospel
