Gay and Muslim?
-
Take a break muslims. I am disgusted by it and what made you believe otherwise? It is because it is an abnormality and not according to the design and we feel disgusted by the image of it.
Nevertheless I try to have empathy for those who were born this way or has it as a mental illness that they cannot help being homosexual.
I said that homosexuality is against the design and you know it, but the phenomenon undeniably occurs still and in which way it could be considered "natural". Of course the term "natural" can be slightly inaccurate and must be taken to the context, but it refers to a phenomenon which occurs biologically not in an unnatural way. It is difficult to say that an animal with a lesser mind can get a psychological disorder that they copulate with same sex partners, so the logical conclusion is that it is biological.
We can control certain abnormal behavior thanks to our developed brain, but we still suffer from the instincts, take the sex drive for example. Many people have trouble abstaining from certain behavior because of the instincts.

Salam
That's my point, and I believe it is "unnatural for the Deen of Islam" to misplace what have God intended it to be.
It is okay to be empathy but it is not the truth in Islam.
The truth is what in the Qur'an.
We cannot distort the rules simply because we feel empathy, right? Is it?
What is the logical connection between "empathy" and "truth"?
Peace.

The rules relating to "empathy or hate" (feelings) vs. "be just"
O you who have believed
be persistently standing firm for Allah
witnesses in justice
and do not let the hatred of a people <- feelings, "empathy or hate"
prevent you from being just
Be just; that is nearer to righteousness
And fear Allah
indeed, Allah is Acquainted with what you do

I'm not sure that hatred relates in any way to empathy!
Perhaps a better example of empathy would be the following
3159 It was a mercy from GOD that you were soft towards them; had you been harsh and mean hearted, they would have dispersed from you; so pardon them and ask forgiveness for them, and consult them in the matter; but when you are convinced, then put your trust in GOD; for GOD loves those who put their trust.

Is there any problem?
Both ayats about "being just", right?

Salaam,
Most of God's system has a lot of do with being humble, understanding and loving and not so much harshness and coldness except being able to stand up for your rights and defend yourself. I do not agree that emotions are forbidden and a sign of weakness. It is this kind of thinking Shaytaan wants to inflict in man. I am fascinated that people extract this kind of behavior from Qur'an.
If you can understand the situation of those who are homosexual even if you do not sympathize with them you can empathize and make their condition bearable, you have reached far into God's realm. You should be able to be kind or at least respectable even towards those who sin. And who does not sin anyway?
God bless you

I agree that both verses are about being just (and kind)...just pointing out that hatred is not even distantly related to empathy.
Empathy is recognizing emotions that another person is feeling--"putting yourself in their shoes."
Empathy is related to the Golden Rule...the Golden Rule is in AQ both in the positive, and the negative (Silver Rule).
Positive form
2422 And let not those among you who have been blessed by abundance refuse to give to the relatives, and the needy, and those who have immigrated in the cause of GOD. Let them pardon and forgive. Would you not like GOD to forgive you? And GOD is Forgiving, Merciful.
Negative form
2267 O you who believe, spend from the good things that you have earned, and from what We have brought forth from the earth. And do not select the rotten out of it to give, while you would not take it yourselves unless you closed your eyes regarding it. And know that God is Rich, Praiseworthy.

I believe both of you must be very confused.
Read from the start and there is not a single person who is talking or supporting the ideas of Muslim should oppress homosexual.
All are agreed that there should be no oppression, respect them as human beings, and are talking about "What is the rule in the Qur'an?".
Issue of this thread
I wanted to ask if a person can be gay and Muslim?
(the statements thereafter are the "supporting statements" suggesting the importance of this issue, and why the Sunni and Shia should treat them as a Muslim and human beings - which is not necessary since many here are not Sunni or Shia, and are not supporting any oppression)
ie. the issue of whether gay is a muslim or non-muslim?
if a muslim, why? which ayat? (refer here)
if a non-muslim, why? which ayat? (refer here)
and if relating to a statement that can be a muslim because of "feelings" (refer here) or "natural" (refer here).. then the issue whether these factors or elements can change God's rules? (refer here and here)
and what is the rule relating to homosexuality? (refer here, which no one is willing to answer, and rather wish to treat as if it is never existed in the Qur'an)

But as I pointed out, there is no reason for any society not to allow
I believe this will involve different issues, ie. "Whether gay is a public offence or private offence?". Why it is an offence when it is private between two individuals? Why prostitution is an offence?
(**Is it a private offence? It involves two parties and can be considered as a public offence, an offering to the public to join the offeror committing an offence, harming the other party and exposing them to various infections or diseases to the other, their family and relatives (+humiliation) and the society at large; cf. abettors, non-payment of taxes or zakat, and punishment for adultery, ie. it is a public sentence. Private is related to one single entity, you alone and without contacts with two or more persons, eg. leaving prayers.)

May peace and blessings of God be on you ,
I think that first we have to make it clear that is being a Gay something which is predetermined , which can not be controlled by an individual or is it a choice or nurture or mixture of both.
There are certain genes that increases the predisposition for a particular disease or behavior of a person.
for example certain genes makes a person prone for Lung cancer , however refraining from smoking ( which is due to his nurture, life style and free decisions) will not led to development of Lung cancer in his life.We know that some individual has an urge to get attracted towards the same sex which he can not control but at the same time we know that many a times Identical twins (monozygotic) having same DNA and genes are not both Homosexual. so i think that it is possible that some Genes may be responsible for predisposing a person towards a Homosexual attitude but at the same time nurture and proper raising of a child can change him.
Quran does not wants us to be a Homosexual but it does not prescribes any punishment for homosexuality from other Human beings , Punishment of Homosexuality ( and other associated crimes ) is from God , not Humans.
Allah Knows Best . these were my views.

It is clear that Allah is lenient with homosexual, PROVIDED, they reform and restrain themselves.
If they repent and amend, then leave them alone.
otherwise, I believe they must be punished with the same punishment in (241-2), ie. based on the "NATURE OF OFFENCE" - "Sexual Intercourse".
found guilty of <- nature of offence - "sexual intercourse" - guilty
sexual intercourse <- Comparison - (7029-31) above - Can gay commit sexual intercourse?Guilty for "what you did", not for "who you are".
(e.g. punishments for unintentional murder or accidental death)
This is similar in any criminal prosecution or any principle of jurisprudence (including Islamic Jurisprudence), ie. prosecution based on the "nature of offence", not based on the "offenders". Under normal circumstances, the offenders are irrelevant to any criminal prosecution, even if you are so and so influential person or celebrities.
Therefore, regardless of straight or homosexual and as long it is the offence of "sexual intercourse", sura (415-16) says punish them, and sura (241-2) says what is their punishment; "... a Book whose verses are perfected and then presented in detail..." (111)
and made obligatory
lash each one of them with a hundred lashes
and DO NOT be taken by pity for them
in the deen of Allah
if you should believe in Allah and the Last DayAND logically....
How come sexual intercourse between man and woman is grievous, and sexual intercourse between man and man is okay, natural or blessed? hmm
"what you did" = same offence, ie. sexual intercourse
"who you are" = men and women = guilty, men and men = not guilty?I don't understand your logic... nope

When the entire verses are read in context, more becomes clear.
415 talks about having at least four witnesses; a witness is someone who observes with their own senses. What is private has no decreed temporal punishment.
242 is talking about the punishment for adultery--extramarital sex for one who is married. 246 makes it clear that the people are married, otherwise how can one spouse accuse the other? hmm
Let's take a closer look at 415 and 416.
415 And those of your women who commit lewdness , you shall bring four witnesses over them from among you; if they bear witness, then you shall restrict them in the homes until death terminates their lives, or GOD makes for them a way out.
2419 As for those who enjoy that lewdness spreads among those who have believed, they will have a painful retribution in the world and the Hereafter. And GOD knows while you do not know.
In all seriousness, if the lewdness referred to in 415 is homosexuality or even homosexual acts, is this something that spreads? It sounds like lewdness is an STD!
416 And the two men who commit it from among you, you shall trouble them. If they repent and amend , then leave them alone. GOD is Redeemer, Merciful.
472 And those who believe and do good works, and believe in what was sent down to Mohammed, for it is the truth from their Lord, He cancels for them their sins, and relieves their concern.
Perhaps the word that makes the most sense is improve. Note that this word limits the possible meanings of 416.
ALLAH knows best.

Okay, I don't understand why you are quoting my post and explaining the issue of translation relating to "amend " when the post is explaining about the "punishment for sexual intercourse and homosexual in the Qur'an".
How does it relate? Completely two different and separate topics.
Peace peace

I admire your ability to make the Qur'an say whatever you have in mind (with the help of wrong translations too) and not what the Qur'an says.
4.15 speaks about prostitutes and orders to take them off the street and give them shelter in the houses, not about punishment.
And 4.16 is not necessarily about two men, it can be a man and a woman, for instance a prostitute and her client.
Salaam

Salam
No need for further comments, the facts speak for itself.
4.15 speaks about prostitutes and orders to take them off the street and give them shelter in the houses, not about punishment.
Those who commit
unlawful sexual intercourse
of your women <- it is about prostitution? "your" women?
bring against them four from among you <- is this a trial?
And if they testify Is there a sentence in a trial?
confine the guilty women to houses until death takes them <- it is not about punishment?
or Allah ordains for them way <- compare (241-2)
(415)(Principles of Islamic jurisprudence, ie. deterrent, retributive, preventive and reformative etc.)
You should admire yourself.
I admire your ability to make the Qur'an say whatever you have in mind (with the help of wrong translations too) and not what the Qur'an says.
Secondly,
And 4.16 is not necessarily about two men, it can be a man and a woman, for instance a prostitute and her client.
Similarly, no further comment since it is not the real issue in my post. I'm discussing about the punishment for "sexual intercourse" and homosexual, not about man with woman or prostitution. In addition, you've said it, "not necessarily". Do you understand what it means? nope
and
Sex is Marriage? Marriage is Sex? yeah
It is clear that Allah is explaining "the practice of marrying slave girls", when, who, what, how it is allowed and prohibited. Allah is explaining "how to select slave girls for wife". Allah has prohibited to marry "slave girl that commit unlawful intercourse randomly or who take lovers". Allah is not explaining about sex, or "marriage is sex, and sex is marriage".
Please explain how the above ayat is explaining your conclusion that "marriage is sex, and sex is marriage". hmm
Do you mind.. please refer me to the ayat rather than jumping from one issue to the other, ignoring all questions with blank denials or personal opinions. You have answered none from the Qur'an, and none from my counter arguments.
We all here just want to hear your reasons, from the Qur'an.
Conclusion...
I don't understand your logic or "sexual" fantasies. A totally different world. (refer here, here and here) hypno

Greetings and Peace, all group

Okay, I don't understand why you are quoting my post and explaining the issue of translation relating to "amend " when the post is explaining about the "punishment for sexual intercourse and homosexual in the Qur'an".
How does it relate? Completely two different and separate topics.
Peace peace
So sorry, you quote your own posts so much, I didn't realize that there was a shyness.
Here is the explanation in even more basic terms. As a necessity, explanation at this level is pretty blunt.
The verses can't mean what you think they mean, as demonstrated by the exact same words used in other places in AQ.
Amend and improve are synonymous, but the word "improve" fits in all places and is a tad clearer.
Even if the words did mean what you think (try substituting your definition in all places where the word occurs, lol), no punishment is applied without four witnesses! Do you dispute about the witnesses?
Homosexuality is not something that can spread--for that matter, neither is fornication. Do you dispute this?
Homosexuality is not something that can be improved/bettered/cured. Do you dispute this?
So then...where is this "homosexuality" that you are referring to coming from--a preconceived notion?
ALLAH knows best.
peace
