Islam’s Position on Homosexuality

Homosexuality and lesbianism have been dubbed “alternative life-styles”, “personal preference”, “a natural variation”, etc. in the West today. Where homosexuality was considered an illness by the Association of Psychiatrists, it is now removed from the list and replaced by homophobia (the dislike of homosexuals and homosexuality).
Consequently, Islam and Muslims are considered intolerant and biased due to their continued opposition. Arguments in favor of tolerance to homosexuals are based on the assumption that homosexual behavior is biologically based and not merely learned from society.

Early opposition to homosexuality was based on the argument that such behavior was unnatural. Sodomy cannot produce children which is one of the main natural consequences of sexual relations. “Mother Nature” did not make us that way, it was argued. To counter such arguments homosexual researchers scoured the earth until they found supposed homosexual behavior among the animal kingdom. They found that the males of some species of exotic fishes off the coast of Japan imitated the behavior of females of the species in order to prevent other males from impregnating their mates, and some rare butterflies from islands of the coast of Africa also had males exhibiting female behavior during mating season, etc. However, if the animal kingdom is to be used to justify human behavior, there also exists a spider in South America, whose female is much larger than the male. When mating is complete, the female eats her mate.

During the 80’s it was claimed that a gland in the base of the brain which is small in women and large in men was found to be small among homosexuals. However, this evidence, while seeming incontrovertible to the layman, was immediately refuted by scientists. The data was taken from cross-sections of the brains of dead adult humans whose sexual preference was identified prior to death. Consequently, the reduced size among homosexuals could have been a result of the practice and not its cause. That is, they could have been born with normal sized glands which then became small due to their deviant lifestyle.

Recently genetics has become the most commonly used foundation for the pro-gay argument. In 1993 Dr. Dean Hamer, a researcher at the National Cancer Institute, claimed to have discovered “the first concrete evidence that ‘gay genes’ really do exist.” Homosexual orientation was supposedly transmitted to males on the X chromosome from the mother. Hamer’s findings, published in the prestigious journal Science, transformed his colorless career as a government scientist into a dynamic media personality and penned his memoirs. He gave expert testimony to the Colorado Supreme Court that formed the basis of the victorious decision striking down anti-gay Proposition 2. However, a replication of his study at the University of Western Ontario failed to find any linkage whatsoever between the X chromosome and sexual orientation. It was also found that Hamer’s study lacked a control group; a fundamental principle of scientific research. Furthermore, in June 1994, the Chicago Tribune reported that a junior researcher in Hamer’s laboratory who assisted in the gene mapping in the homosexuality study, alleged that he selectively reported his data. She was then summarily dismissed from her post-doctoral fellowship in Hamer’s lab. But a National Institutes of Health investigation substantiated her claims and gave her another position in a different lab. Though Dr. Hamer was coy about his own sexuality in his memoirs, he later admitted in his lectures that he was gay.

It should be noted that Islam, in its final form, did not introduce anti-gay legislature to the world. The texts of the Torah are replete with clear condemnation of such practices.
-
The consequence of AIDS is enough to prove that homosexuality is evil and dangerous to society. The early spread of AIDS was concentrated among the homosexual community. It later spread to the heterosexual community through blood transfusions and intravenous drug usage and so-called bisexuals. And continues on a rampage among promiscuous heterosexuals.

Islam considers homosexuality to be the result of a choice. It is inconceivable that God made people homosexuals then declared it a crime and prescribed punishments for it in both this life and the next. To accept such a proposition is to accept that God is unjust. Inclinations can exist within humans for a variety of natural and unnatural acts, from fornication to rape and from necrophilia to bestiality. These inclinations may come from jinn-suggestions, media influence, or even from human whisperings or direct contact. Human beings are not like robots who only do what they are programmed to do. Humans choose and God holds them responsible for their choices. Were homosexuality a product of genetic destiny, it would be unfair for God to criminalize it and punish those who practice it. Currently, some scientists are even claiming that murder is of genetic origin. To accept that would mean to excuse murderers and tolerate murder.

Islam instructs parents to separate their children in their beds by the age of ten in order to avoid sexual experiences which may result from childhood experimentation. Such experiences may be reinforced by contacts in schools and through abuse from adults. Also the distinctions between male and female are strongly made in Islamic teachings. The Prophet cursed men who imitated women and women who imitated men. The Western fashion industry is controlled by homosexuals who attempt to blur the distinction between males and females in order to make their behavior more acceptable. Consequently, men’s fashion has become more feminine in style and color and women are now wearing three-piece suits, ties and hats and traditionally men’s shoes. These distinctions may be relative and vary from society to society. For example, in Scotland men traditionally wear little knee-length dresses called “kilts”. In Scotland it would not be considered imitation of females, but in a society where only women wear such dress it would be considered imitation.

i m new here, and want to ask some questions, kindly tell me where to post these questions about marriage and nikah
You can openly ask here brother, there are certainly no problems in asking about such matters.
thanks for ur quick and kind response
i want to ask, i’ve got a friend who has got married like a month before, and that marriage was not the usual kind of marriage, they only got into a nikah, that was in an un usual way, i want to ask if that is right or not, like the way they have done that nikah
it was like, my friend and her girl, they were there with two more boys and one more girl, mean there were three witness for the nikah, 2 boys and one girl, and one of the witness ask the girl if she is agrees to get married with that boy ( by complete name ) and she said yes i agree, this procedure was followed 3 time with that girl and same with the boy.
now, i want to ask if they are now husband and wife?
their parents dont know abt this all, i’ve asked with some of the molanas and scholors about that matter, they says that by this way one can get married, now can u varify it please!
sir i m still waiting for your kind reply
admin i m still waiting for an answer……………..
For as long as the girl is of mature age (reached Balooghiyat) wali’s consent is not required. Moreover, I’m currently not certain whereas the witness of one women only is concerned. Since I don’t want to misguide, I’d research and let you know shortly!
This kind of so-called marriage is null and void and it will never be considered as a marriage rather this is one of the tactics of Satan, the out cursed. Evidence of my fatwa is driven from:
1. The authentic Hadith of Rasoolullah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) who have said, “Any woman who gets married without the consent of her Weli (Legal guardian), her marriage is null and void, her marriage is null and void, her marriage is null and void. He said that three times, which itself speaks volumes.
2. The difference between Zinaa and Nikah is public announcement (Al-Ish-haar). The marriage should be publicly announced and known by the neighbors, friends and families. In this case, we are not even taking consent of girl’s parent but they are not even notified. So if such action is not part of Zinaa, what is such secrecy?
3. Honestly, anyone of us should sincerely ask him/herself, is this kind of action makes your heart comfortable and containted with it or NO?
In this regard there is authentic hadith that says “Seek judgment from your heart”. Moreover, one of the companion of the Prophet (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) said: “I once said to Allah’s Messenger, ‘O Allah’s Messenger! Tell me what is lawful and what is prohibited for me.’ The Prophet replied, ‘Virtue is what eases the soul and reassures the heart, and sin is that which does not ease the soul nor does it reassure the heart, even if you are given fatwas by muftis (indicating otherwise).’
One more question to the honourable readers, is there anyone of us who would be delighted if his daughter, sister, or mother gets married by the way that has been mentioned above?
What is the solution for this incident? For both the girl and the boy who got themselves into this situation. First, they must repent to Allah for the sin they committed in the name of religion. They must dissolve and nullify the so called nikah. They should go back to the legal guardian of the girl and ask permission for marriage then if the permission is given by the girl’s parent that is well and good if not it should not be pursued any further but leave it there.
May Allah continuously guide us to the right path (Amen)
thank you for your reply
but i’ve heard and i’ve visited so much webs, and m gone thru some of literature survey also, and there is one thing common at all places, it is, that if the girl and boy are at the stage of maturity, they can go for nikah, and in the condition if the girl is not matured her wali’s consent is requried….
and what if the boy says that he cant stop him frm zanaa with anyother girl n all, and to avoid that sin, he is going to get married with that particular girl…
ASAK
I have few questions, kindly brief.
1. If wife agreed to having intercourse in her Anus by her husband, then, what ISLAM says about it?
2. Will Islam allow both husband & wife to watch porn CD’s during or after intercourse if they wish to?
3. What are the good & safe sex positions in ISLAM?
4. What are the ways or foods to improve my Stamina for intercourse?
Kindly brief all the mentioned questions.
w.a.Salam wrwb,
1 – Only two sexual activities are forbidden in Islam i.e. (i)Anal Sex and (ii) Sexual Intercourse during menstruation. Now what you need to understand is, what’s forbidden is forbidden, whether or not both the spouses have a mutual agreement over it!
2 – Logically, it is not something likely to be permissible to me but since I myself am neither too sure of this nor am I a big scholar, I’ll consult seniors and shall let you know on this. You may continue to google it with authentic/non-sectarian web portals, too.
3 – Any position convenient! For further details, read this article ( http://www.hidayat.org/blog/2008/12/01/seeing-each-other-nude-sexual-positions/ )
4 – Anatomy and Physiques vary from person to person. You should rather consult a sexologist or someone at home in this domain.
I THINK THAT ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE, SO WHO MADE YOU THE JUDGE TO TALK ABOUT PEOPLE WHO ARE A LITTLE DIFFERENT, HOMOSEXUALS ARE PEOPLE AS YOU and i are, and god loves all, i dont know how you were rised, but i was raised to love all. my god dont hate, and if you truly loved your allah you wouldnt hate.
Of course, while our firm doesn’t provide services in this jurisdiction the increasing number of cases generally being served in small claims court mean that participants should seek expert advice of a legal agent as the rules generally are quite non-trivial
