Is there a place for me in Islam as a lesbian woman

[cat eyes]

transmitted diseases are also very much commen in lesbians but i suppose you do not want to hear that either, with a little knowledge and research about the dangers of same sex relations you might come to realise also but they turn a blind eye to it inshaAllah when you will revert to islam you will come to know and Allah will open your heart and guide you Ameen

To be accepted by Allah swt is to follow his rules...and one of the rule is man to marry a woman and a woman to marry a man. In Islam is wrong to change sex unless you've both of it and need to choose one. And in Islam is wrong to have sex outside marriage.

So if you follow the rules...theres nothing to worry about

Greetings and peace be with you greeneyedcat;

Welcome to the forum, I hope you find some answers, I found the post by greenshirt to be most helpful

trust me, i know its hard because im in the same position. but my love for my religion exceeds my love for anything else so i have made some sacrifices.

Everyone of us on this board is a sinner, and we are all hypocrites in some way, we might try and justify our own sins, and we may endlessly repeat our own faults. But the sins of other people are not so easy to justify in our own mind.

You will have a struggle where ever you go, most people find it hard to accept homosexuality.

As sad and wrong as it may be, I feel you will not escape being judged by others, and it can be very hurtful.

In the spirit of searching for an inner peace that surpasses all understanding

I've been interested in Islam for a long time and I'm finally reading the Quran and starting to really investigate. I like that Islam is really such a loving peaceful religion and gives women a lot of respect. I know that a lot of misunderstandings and negative things are actually because of cultural differences. I'm really interested in learning the rest of the story beyond what is in the Bible and learning to pray. However, I want to be in a place where I am accepted as who I am. I know that God doesn't have any problem with me, and I am at peace with who I am, but I keep running into homophobia in Islam. I'm afraid to reach out to study groups and mosques because I don't want to be rejected. Is there a place for me in Islam? I don't know about converting, but I would like to study and pray.

Well Sister

You are welcomed to join Islam , but one thing i want to say as you accept islam you also have belief and do what islam say and not what you persoanlly think , so you also have to accept that having physical realtionship of a women to a wome in a great sin in Islam , even if you go to doctor or any other person they say its will again nature , so you are welcomed to accept Islam but also try to stop your sins and try to live a normal life.

Hope by doing this you will have much better life then you are living today.

May Allah give you hidayat to you and all of us.
