Answer:
Homosexuality sin
In the name of Allah, We
praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah
guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide
them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no person, no grave, no prophet, no imam,
no dai, nobody!) worthy of
worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His
slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
Allah says in
the Holy Quran Chapter 7 Surah Aaraf verses 80-82: And We sent
Allah says in
the Holy Quran Chapter 11 Surah Hud verses 82-83: Accordingly, when the time of the execution of Our
Judgement came (for the people of Lot),
We turned the habitation upside down and rained on it stones of baked
clay, each of which had been specifically
marked by your Lord. And such a scourge
is not far from the tyrannous people!
Homosexuality is
absolutely, totally, and unconditionally forbidden in Islam! It is an
abomination and a grave sin in the eyes of Allah, and Shariah or Islamic Law
prescribes capital punishment for those who are convicted of committing this
abomination! Such is the severity of this abomination of a sin in the Sight of
Allah Subhanah.
This deed is deemed
un-natural and against humanity and righteous society in Islam. This deed is an evil and immoral deviation
of man, and is not even found in the lower forms of animate life! Allah destroyed the whole habitation of
Prophet Lot, and turned the whole city upside-down, and rained on them a rain
of brim-stones for their sin of homosexuality.
It was not that every individual in Sodom and Gomorrah who were
destroyed committed sodomy; but even
those who accepted it, propagated it,
looked upto it as a norm and fashion,
and allowed it without raising a voice against this abomination, were
all destroyed by Allah Subhanah.
And Allah warns in the
Holy Quran: ‘And such a scourge is not far from the
tyrannous people!’ Thus if in the
world today, this act of sodomy is
propagated and accepted as normal and as fashionable, and society as a whole does not take steps to abolish this abomination, the scourge that came upon the people of
Sodom and Gomorrah is not far from such impious societies!
We seek refuge in Allah
from His Wrath and His Anger and His Punishment!
Beloved brother, the
physical attraction of one towards the same sex is not natural, but rather an
evil distortion one does to one’s own nature!
Allah Subhanah has absolutely forbidden this distortion and deviation,
and the doers of this evil deed would bring upon themselves the guaranteed
Wrath and Anger of Allah Subhanah; unless they sincerely repent and do
righteous deeds thereafter.
Whatever written of
Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever
of error is of me alone. Allah Alone
Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.
Your Brother in Islam,
Wister
