I was reading a discussion today on a very nice positive website & I wonder what kind of people are in this world?

Why do some feel they are more than The Almighty, A question was asked Can a muslim be a Homosexual? The site creator and her husband answered the question simply NO and the reason why. How the other Non Muslims answered showed how they are lost in this world. When will they stop their foolish thinking and see that The only way is Islam. It seems so many non believers follow the belief that “They are Born Homosexual Muslims”.

Can A Muslim be a Homosexual?

Salaam. Please tell me more. I’m not convinced: by saying what you just did, you must therefore assume that the people of Lut (peace be upon him) were to a great extent born with this defect. If not all, then a fair few of them because all of the inhabitants of his city were actively involved in homosexual acts in order for them to be destroyed by Allaah. What is your view on that?

If we are to accept that people are born homosexual then we must accept that this is written from Allaah to be in that person’s personality and therefore, Allaah expects them to fight these urges all their life in order to attain a good standing in the Hereafter. We could also extrapolate from this that certain people who are born with such a strong case of this defect (as you say) that they never feel attraction to women, may never find happiness in marriage, thus meaning that they may end up living lonely lives.

What are your thoughts?

Anis.

Ramadan Mubarak.
I know your post was not addressed to me but I think it would be fair to back up your claim that it is impossible for people to be born homosexual. The process of foetal development is neither flawless nor predictable. There are many children born with defective natural mechanisms e.g colour blindness, dyslexia, attention deficit.

Some are born with a propensity for psychological disturbances including bipolar affect and confused gender identity. What is it about sexual orientation, as yet another aspect of human behaviour, that makes it especially immune to natural flaws and deviations that made you decide that it is impossible for it to be corrupted naturally?

Alhamdulillah, you are now Muslim…but brother, why is it that so many people declare that they are gay by birth? I always did (and still do) think it is impossible to be born homosexual and therefore the reason for people being homosexual are other reasons such as a bad upbringing etc.. What are your thoughts on the matter?

You have seen the wrong in what you did in ignorance and found the path of wisdom. This is a mercy on you from Allah swt so that you may eradicate your past mistakes and become of the faithful, giving you a chance to set things right and use this life the right way. Your fear of Allah swt shows that your heart has already declared what your mouth hasn’t! Seek solace in your prayers and may you always be of the righteous. Every believing brother and sister in the world is here for you.

plus those so-called peace groups calling themselves muslims, and are gay are implying and saying there is nothing wrong in being gay and muslim. this is whom i have hatred for, and who all the Muslims also have hatred for. (well those Muslims who realise the wrong in homosexuality anyway…)

Ma’asalama

The only place that hatred might come into our discourse is with those few people who are deliberately misleading others and guiding them towards sin and God’s displeasure. And yet even with those, we put most emphasis on answering them intellectually.

I’m trying to fathom your point about 9/11. If you’re suggesting that hatred is something inherent to Islam, then you are mistaken. The overriding principle in Islam is mercy. This article discusses it well:

Dr Scott, if you read more from the site, you will understand better just what it is we’re saying. We don’t believe that we are “the judges”, but we also don’t accept the pseudo-theological argument that forbidding what is evil (and already declared evil by God) is somehow defunct because ultimately God is the Judge! Rather, forbidding the wrong is an indispensible duty of all Muslims to whatever extent is appropriate for them.
