Salam brother muslims.
No offense.Your theory is smart, but you may re-consider again, is another members understand your theories?
Salam brother Earthdom
I believed many understand the ideas and meaning of Salah. It is explained in another thread, and
"IQRA bismi rabbikalla dhi khalaq"
"READ in the name of your Lord who created" <- refer to 11, "Alhamdu"
(961) (not in our name or interest, or goals)Peace brother.

Peace I have just watched a news item on Al Jazeera about Germany accepting intersex as a gender on birth certificates for those who are born with mixed genitalia or genitalia that cannot be determined as either male or female. Australia already has this category of gender. Advocacy from adults who were born intersex was not to be operated on until the person is mature enough to make their own decision about the sex they wish to be or they may decide against any operation and to remain intersex. Are there any verses in the Quran that would enable the possibility of an intersex gender or are male & female the only gender categories in Quran? Does homosexuality include those who are born intersex in gender if they choose to remain intersex?

Salaam,
I am rambling with absolute truth. We can see about it who will be the one abiding in Hell. Let us wait and see.

This worldly life is no more than vanity and play, while the abode of the Hereafter is the real life, if they only knew.
This worldly life is no more than play and vanity. But if you believe and lead a righteous life, He will reward you, without asking you for any money.
Know that this worldly life is no more than play and games, and boasting among you, and hoarding of money and children. It is like abundant rain that produces plants and pleases the disbelievers. But then the plants turn into useless hay, and are blown away by the wind. In the Hereafter there is either severe retribution, or forgiveness from GOD and approval. This worldly life is no more than a temporary illusion.

Very true my friend, so why are we fighting here over what?
And these two verses only confirm what I was "rambling" about for hours last night. God's "Word" is as simple as that and "Man cannot live by words alone but through hard work".
God bless you

"Absolute truth"? Nice! yes
Further, nothing that surprised me since I don't have to wait and see because I always expecting Hell and pray for Allah to show me the way; La Hawla wa La Quwwata Illa Billaah, "there is no power nor might except by Allah". I know nothing and cannot save myself from sin and shirk (refer here and here).
Other than the Sunni and Shia, I can't image anyone reading the Qur'an, claiming absolute truth without any reference to the Qur'an and be able to expect Paradise.
Do the people think that they will be left to say
"We believe" and they will not be tried?
(292)Or do you think that you will enter Paradise
while such has not yet come to you
as came to those who passed on before you?They were
touched by poverty
and hardship
and were shakenuntil messenger and those who believed with him said <- even the Messenger almost fails with Allah's test
"When is the help of Allah ?"(2214)
actual facts...
Say, "Shall we inform you
of the greatest losers as to deeds?
those whose effort is lost in worldly life
while they think that they are doing well in work"
Those are the ones who disbelieve in the verses of their Lord
and in meeting Him
so their deeds have become worthless
and We will not assign to them on the Day of Resurrection any importance
That is their recompense - Hell
for what they denied and they took My signs and My messengers in ridicule

Salaam,
All that I said is Knowledge contained in Qur'an and I spoke the Message using God's pen which never runs dry. You parrot ayats from the Quran which does not counter my arguments but rather simply confirms what I said, so I am not sure where you are aiming?
As we Swedes say "I think you are out bicycling".
God bless you

Anyway, since when did God forbid as from having opinions as long as we follow His main criteria? When? When? It smells conjecture and military style god.
We follow a sectarian path where opinions are not allowed.
All that I said is Knowledge contain in Qur'an and I spoke the Message using God's pen which never runs dry.
RED is mine

See how you contradict your own statements, every time!
Do you read your own writing? yes
Peace peace

Salaam,
Yes, I know what I write, but it seems you cannot interpret English. How does those two quotations contradict each other? They mean exactly the same practically.
God bless you

Salaam,
Yes I feel pretty comfortable about who I am. Do you?

Salaam,
I have asked several times what kind of evidence you have from God that gays are not Muslims and you have only come up with ad hominem so far and accused me of the same.
And so I will ask another question about the Message; do you not believe that good behavior is the most important parameter in faith other than belief in God and His realm?
It is a very important aspect of your true misunderstanding of the whole point and I feel sorry for you if you do not agree with the above question.
And please do not evade my questions with other nonsense like posting ayats which only agree with my writings or saying that writings contradict each other while they are just heavy paraphrases with another point of view.
And where did you get Mr. Bukhari from now?
God bless you

OR maybe because of...
And you cannot guide the blind away from their error
You will only make hear
those who believe in Our verses
so they are Muslims
(3053)Secondly,
And so I will ask another question about the Message; do you not believe that good behavior is the most important parameter in faith other than belief in God and His realm?
REFER HERE
It always require both
iman and amal
faith (creed or decisive belief) and action (behaviour)to make someone muslim or non-muslim.
That's why the words "believed and done righteous deeds" is always put together in the Qur'an (REFER HERE)
Question/Issue of this thread
I wanted to ask if a person can be gay and Muslim?
Conclusion
being a gay and with an i'tiqad (creed) to reform and obey Allah is a muslim (refer here)
but being a gay with an i'tiqad (creed) to remain as a gay and disobey Allah is a non-muslim (refer here)Reasons
Those who believe
and do righteous good deedsthere is no sin on them
for what they ateif they fear Allah
and believe
and do righteous good deedsand again
fear Allah
and believeand once again
fear Allah
and do good deedswith Ihsan (perfection)
And Allah loves the good-doers
(593)Except for those who repent
correct themselves
hold fast to Allah
and are sincere in their deen for Allah <- requires understanding
for those will be with the believers
And Allah is going to give the believers a great reward
(4146)There is not upon the weak
or upon the ill
or upon those who do not find anything to spend any discomfort
when they are sincere
to Allah and His Messenger
There is not upon the doers of good any cause
And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful
(991)And cause not corruption upon the earth
after its reformation
And invoke Him in fear and aspiration
Indeed, the mercy of Allah
is near to the doers of good
(756)Indeed, Allah does not allow to be lost the reward
of the doers of good
(9120)and there are various "degrees for the doers of good", each action are independent and depends on the particular situation, and known only by that person (gay).
That's why...
similarly
being a prostitute with with an i'tiqad (creed) to reform and obey Allah is a muslima
but being a prostitute with an i'tiqad (creed) to remain as a prostitute and disobey Allah is a non-muslimaTherefore...
How hard for you to show one ayat to prove a Muslim can I'TIQAD NOT TO "surrenders and submits to the laws of God", and still be a Muslim?
Call anyone you like, just show me one ayat from the Qur'an.

Salaam,
Oh sorry, you wanted to use those posts to prove that gays are not Muslims? I did not even consider that since they are completely NOT proving anything at all of what you say. What in Quran's guidelines shows that a gay is not mindful of God and the system when he is a righteous person, i.e. a Muslim? You are a Muslim when you try to follow God's guidelines no matter of personal success level and sins and has nothing to do with being eligible for Heaven or Hell. God is recording bad and good deeds and the good ones weigh heavier than the bad ones.
Believer is only an extension to the Muslim concept where you do not only heed the creed and are also certain about God in your heart. If Qur'an addresses Believers it either addresses those who are Believers, want to be Believers or feel hit by the address.
We proved that homosexuality is against God's (anatomical) design but it is not unnatural as the phenomenon simply exists and that not only in humans.
If you live by the system by saving resources and minding the cycle of nature, are your good self and believe in God why are you not following the three main criteria in God's creed?
Can you think instead of these homosexuals and how they feel inside and I am sure that many of them feel it could be regarded against God's design, but they simply cannot help their different attraction?
Many homosexuals have tried to "convert" their sexual preference and failed due to that they cannot reprogram themselves to these innate feelings. If they have striven hard to do what they can about their personal condition and follow the rest of the Message will you call them non-Muslims? They abide to the system.
With your logic, if you fail on a certain part of God's creed then I can call you 'muslims' a non-Muslim, how does that feel brother?
We are certainly not perfect none of us and we sin but we repent and regret. Some things we work hard to stop doing and some we manage to stop doing and other things we can never manage to stop sinning about. Do you not see that if we followed your concept then none of us would be Muslims? Not a single one of us would be Muslims, or do you claim that you are free from sin?
Following God's system is abiding by His Message and being mindful of Him, His realm and leading a righteous life by most importantly being a goodly person. Have you missed the good example of the Messengers?
How about the other question I asked in the previous post, even if it is slightly off-topic, what is your answer there because it seems very important to your misinterpretation of God's creed.
Like I said; you make the same mistake as Jesus' contemporaries who could only parrot the Message but could not act out on its contents and could not understand a thing of the depth of the Message. I wish to help you, but you need to stop this attitude.
God bless you

Salaam,
One more thing, the term Muslim is for the behavior and not a specific category. You can say it is a buff you get for a certain behavior. Muslim behavior makes you a Muslim.
Arguing with you here for good or bad is perhaps not the most righteous thing I can do or maybe it is? Well, I try to behave and help you and I go out and help others in the street so then I am a Muslim.
Bookish maybe sends money to charity, helps the weak old woman across the street, plays games with his brothers, talk about God with friends and other righteous things. And then after that all is blotted out because he is a gay? All the good thing he has done is completely worthless because he is a gay and thus a non-Muslim despite that Qur'an clearly talks about what a Muslim is.
And after that you say that behavior is not the most important parameter of God's creed?
God bless you

Salaam brother,
I read what you wrote and I said why it is not correct, but do you care to read yourself? My wife left because she has her own problems and it has nothing to do with this.
Yes, we are here to argue are we not as long as what we write is constructive and not simply loose accusations and it is a bonus if we have something to show others. It proved you, I overwhelmed you with hints to why your logic is flawed, and that by using God's creation as a testimony.
You say I argue, but look at yourself, are you not arguing and that with parroting ayats from the Qur'an that are completely irrelevant to this question.
Salam
I give up, no wonder your wife left you. You only argues and don't even read what people or you, yourselves are saying. giveup
Peace peace
God bless you

I read what you wrote and I said why it is not correct, but do you care to read yourself?

Then do you understand the following statement?
Conclusion
being a gay and with an i'tiqad (creed) to reform and obey Allah is a muslim (refer here)
but being a gay with an i'tiqad (creed) to remain as a gay and disobey Allah is a non-muslim (refer here)Peace

Salam
and..
Do you understand the following statement?
It always require both
iman and amal
faith (creed or decisive belief) and action (behaviour)to make someone muslim or non-muslim.
Can you differentiate between being attracted (faith) to the same sex, and committing sex (action)?
If it is just simply being attracted and without any action against the Qur'an... no problem.
It always requires both.
Can you be sentenced to death just because you want to kill so and so?
However the issue of this thread is about to remains as gay, and at the same time being a Muslim.
I wanted to ask if a person can be gay and Muslim?
This requires identification of "i'qtiqad" (creed), whether "to remain" or "to reform".
Peace
