How I wish there was a dislike button! People should think b4 making harsh comments. Not everyones a born Muslim and not all born Muslims are pious..we must learn to accept people (not saying accept being gay and acting upon it is fine Astagferullah) but I'm sure being harsh and repeating yourself won't bring people closer to Islam..talk nicely explain things and tell them not to act upon gay feelings it's wrong and we don't wanna see you in hell but heaven with rest of the Muslims. In sha Allah.

Like I said, tell me where in the Quran it specifically mentions that no man or woman can be born gay.

Allah creates men and women with all kinds of disabilities, both mental and physical. Why can't homosexuality be one of those mental disabilities?

P.S So animals that have same sex intercourse are also inspired by shaytan? Don't be ridiculous.

You're kidding me right? Allah created Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve.


Allah says "Verily, you practise your lusts on men instead of women. Nay, but you are a people transgressing beyond bounds (by committing great sins)’" (7:80-81)

I'm not an expert on animal homosexuality and quite frankly I don't think you are either. Animals will have sex with their own offspring as they don't have a moral compass like human beings. Are you going to tell me it's okay to be incestuous?

We can't sugarcoat the deen ya know?

Anyways, one should definitely suppress those feelings as they are from shaytaan. We ain't sugarcoating our deen for anyone.

They should know from the start that Islam came to purify mankind, and sodomy is a corruption of the fitrah.

Being gay and acting upon it are the same!

You could take it as "if" they aren't acting upon it then they aren't gay right?
 
Sodomy is full deviation. And there should be full stop. Why do you practice your lust on men when Allah SWT created women?

There is no ifs or buts.
 
Tbh, this is common sense, homosexuality is a disease. It goes against the natural state we've all been created in.

It is one of the perversions of mankind.
What more needs there to be discussed?
 
Nothing needs to be discussed not as long as the brother who created it wants to go ahead with it.
 
You would have to renounce that same-sex relationship if you were to become a muslim. It's simply not consistent with what the Qur'an says about living a life of purity. All throughout the Qur'an a story is told about the people of Lut [peace be upon him]. They practiced homosexuality and God destroyed them for it.

What happens after a genuine conversion [to Islam] is a fundamental change. You'll see Allah/God as being more beautiful than sin. You'll want Him more than you want homosexuality. We're spiritual beings at heart; we were made to worship Allah in all areas of life. That includes, but is not limited, to sexual purity. You and I were made to aspire to something greater than carnal lusts. A homosexual is not hopeless-- it's just the opposite. A person can find refuge at a moment's notice; that's one of the reasons the last two chapters of the Qur'an are prayers (to teach us to ask Allah to save us from the snares of this life).

I hope you will think about it and not write me off as a homophobe who hates homosexuals. In the rememberance of Allah do hearts find peace, the Qur'an says. What Allah offers is more precious. Selfless devotion to Allah is more sweet and precious than all the homosexuality in the world.

Agreed. One can't be gay and Muslim at the same time. No Muslim here have said its ok to be homo and act upon it, sometimes we say something but others understand it in a different manner..you explained everything very calmly and I do agree with what you said.

That analogy doesn't work. A better one is that you might look at a woman while married, but that's alright as long as you don't go after her and be adulterous to your wife.
 
Re: Homosexuality and Islam

As I found out with my thread that I posted today, it is okay to be gay, but you may not do gay things like having sex with another man.
 
This whole "gay" / "transgender" / "discover yourself" movement is getting ridiculous. It's almost like a fad where people WANT to be part of it for the sake of jumping on the bandwagon and the fact that it's heavily commercialized is only making it worse.. And now we have the issue with both genders wanting to share the same bathrooms. On top of that, you're not allowed to have an opinion against it *sigh* ya Allah

I'll just say it frankly, I'm gay and in a relationship with another man. Does this go against the teachings of Islam, or is it accepted within the Islamic community for a person to be homosexual?

Yes, I now know that it goes against the teachings of Islam to do these things.

Troll much? Anyways, the story of Lut.

Homosexuality is not something you're born with. Anyone who says so, are lying.

I can't believe how people are saying that people are "born gay". Pathetic excuse. They are lying, clearly. It is mankind that has deviated and gone from the natural to the unnatural, namely sodomy.

How it can to be a disease? How then Allah will punish person who is have a disease? Now that´s not logical.

It is a spiritual disease. It is distortion of the fitrah. You aren't going to seriously say this is normal? far from it.

It is a disease, and if someone does not desist, the torment may come upon them.

it is just excuses. Those who go astray are worthy of punishment.

Sodomy is punishable by death. It is not natural, and never was, and never will be.

Now this interest me: "practise your lusts". I am talking here about being a gay, not acting as gay. (Well, OP might act also but I am talking this matter as in the general level, not about his case.)

Are the feelings and lusts on the same line with the acts? If I have an idea that I want to kill someone but I don´t never do it, am I still a murderer? Can we generalize this same principle to all sins? If yes, then we all really are sinners as almost everyone have had some sins in their mind even at once during the lifetime.
 
The feelings are NOT normal, and they are wrong sinful desires.

One shouldn't normalise stuff that is not normal. Of course, if one has those sinful desires, one should realise that this is not normal, and restrain themselves. As long as they do that I can't see why Allah SWT would punish them.

But if they accept these desires as normal, they are worse than animals.

No I am not say that disease is normal. If you have a disease, you are sick and you need a medicine or a treatment to become normal and health again. I am just thinking why there is a punishment if someone has a disease. But obiviously you meant something else by the word "disease" than I was thinking.
