Under the supervision of Professor Dr. Laith Majeed Hussein, Director of the Center for the Revival of Arab Scientific Heritage at the University of Baghdad, the Center held on Monday, October 20, 2025, and in the presence of a number of professors and researchers, an off-schedule workshop entitled “Strengthening Moral Structure and Highlighting the Dangers of Homosexuality” in the Hall of Professor Nabila Abdul Muneim Dawood. Professor Dr. Anas Issam Ismail, a faculty member at the Center, delivered the lecture, in which he discussed the historical context of homosexuality, referencing its mention in the Holy Qur’an and the divine punishment inflicted upon the people of Lot (peace be upon him). He explained that such acts are considered a deviation from divine and natural law and contrasted this with the Islamic perspective, which has clearly defined rulings on the matter for over 1,400 years
He further noted that promoting homosexuality under the slogans of “freedom” and “human rights” serves as a tool for weakening the moral fabric of societies. The lecturer emphasized the importance of strengthening religious and intellectual awareness to reinforce authentic ethical values.
The workshop included several interventions and discussions. In conclusion, the Center’s administration expressed its gratitude to the lecturer and wished him continued success and prosperity
