Gay and Muslim?
-
Actually what I problemed is not your premis knowledge, but your Quran tafseer.
Your premis is okay according to me.Salam
Therefore, bring other verse relating to "men" and "private parts".
You can't compare apples to oranges, or distort oranges to be apples.
Bring another same premises from the Qur'an that relating to "men" and "private parts".
This is you how contradict an ayat from the Qur'an without contradicting other verses in the Qur'an.
and...
That is why I'm asking you to show me an ayat that Gays are exempted from the rule relating to "private parts", because gays are "men" and have "private parts". Therefore, they are equally obliged to comply with that rule.
Same as the words "mates"... it is general and includes animals or other living creatures.
and "spouses" is specific to human beings.
animals don't have "spouses" or "wives"...
Therefore and since Allah is saying about specific gender, ie. "Men"... then it must be "spouses" or "wives"
It means marriages according to the Qur'an; ie. "wives"
How can you compare with something in "general" when Allah is "specifically" referring to human beings and "private parts"?
You can't compare apples to oranges, or distort oranges to be apples.
Further, "marriages" or "spouses" is not gender.
Male and female, boy and girl, man and woman is gender.

The term "men" is too general, so in what context.

So you don't agree "Gays" are "Men"?
There is no merit in your objection, unless you can prove gays are not men.
It is so since the issue you raise is about gender, and it is either "man/ boy/ male", or "woman/ girl/ female".
Choose one.
Similarly, the Qur'an also speak about "man/ boy/ male" or "woman/ girl/ female". There is no in between or else.
Peace.
p.s. so am I, brb.

Sorry muslims, your reply actually not replying my post.
I never said if gay is not a man.
Please don't raise a little issue, like gay is not man if you want get to the point.I'm not an underage child, so don't use burden for proofing .Peace

First of all...can someone put forward a CONVINCING article to prove that homosexuality is not prohibited in the Koran?
Homosexual acts are ALWAYS referred to whenever the Koran talks about the people of Lot. Agreed that they probably did robbery etc. as well...but homosexual acts was apparently the KEY reason why they were punished...
You really need to consider all the verses to reach a conclusion..you can't simply pick what you like.
Instead of arguing here, why doesn't someone build a cogent article ?
-
As far as I know the people who were born gay cannot help this and how can then God punish them for that?
Peace Friends
the real issue is whether a person can both be gay and muslim......if i am not mistaken.
i would like to elucidate certian verses of Holy Quran and see if it throws any light in context of the context
We also sent Lut. He said to his people 'Will you commit lewdness such as no people in creation ever committed before you? For you come in lust to men in preference to women. No, you are indeed a people transgressing beyond bounds' (Qur'an 780-81)
'Of all the creatures in the world, will you approach males, and leave those whom Allah has created for you to be your mates? No, you are a people transgressing (all limits)!' (Qur'an 26165-166)
from the above two verses it is quite clear approaching males is trangression. besides it also clashes with the "natural" order in which God created human beings apart from bringing destruction of family and institution of marriage.
so far i didnt find anything in Holy Quran that favours and if not remains neutral regarding approaching the same sex. the only instance i could find is in the story of prophet lot wherein the inhabitants were inhalilated.
The Qur'an describes that everything has been created in pairs which complement one another. Pairing of male and female is thus part of natural order. on many instances the Qur'an describes the husband/wife relationship as one of love, tenderness, and support.
i dont know if being gay is psychological problem or any other thing, but i certainly do know that Allah created man and then a female as his partner and consort. even all living creatures longs for the opposite sex even if they had to die for it.
hope i am able to throw some light on the topic
may peace and blessing of Allah be upon all.

No it is not, I am replying to your post or question.
Read for yourself what your wrote.
The term "men" is too general, so in what context.
The term "men"
is too general
so in what contextSee? you say the "term men"
What is the issue?
You are saying the term is "too general"
In other words, you are saying there is "general" and "specific" "term" relating to "men".
and... you need to find out their "context" to differentiate these terms relating to what is "men".
and what did I answer you?
So you don't agree
"Gays" are "Men"?There is no merit in your objection
unless you can prove gays are not menThere is no "general or specific" men in the Qur'an.
There is only "man" or "woman".
Similarly, the Qur'an also speak about "man/ boy/ male" or "woman/ girl/ female". There is no in between or else.
Your question is ridiculous, so as your blank accusations.
You make stupid questions, and then blame others for it. All the times. Very funny laugh

Greetings and Peace, all group
I'll bold a few portions of the following post for discussion, discussion in red.
Peace Friends
the real issue is whether a person can both be gay and muslim......if i am not mistaken.
i would like to elucidate certian verses of Holy Quran and see if it throws any light in context of the context
We also sent Lut. He said to his people 'Will you commit lewdness such as no people in creation ever committed before you? For you come in lust to men in preference to women. No, you are indeed a people transgressing beyond bounds' (Qur'an 780-81)
It has been clearly demonstrated that the lewdness--and the word is lewdness--can't be related to homosexuality because homosexuality is found in civilization long before the people of Lot. This can either be accepted, or one can accept that there is suddenly a contradiction in the Qur'an.
Rather than focus on preference of men to women, look at the act--"come in lust". Was acting on lust a righteous action?
'Of all the creatures in the world, will you approach males, and leave those whom Allah has created for you to be your mates ? No, you are a people transgressing (all limits)!' (Qur'an 26165-166)
Understanding the bolded Arabic word is key. If it means "spouses", then leaving a spouse is adultery. If it means "mates", then leaving a mate is promiscuity/breaking contract or oath/fornication. If the verse had stated "approach other women" instead of "approach other males", the violation was still made. The violation is the bolded part of the sentence. This leads me to believe that homosexuality wasn't central to the violation.
from the above two verses it is quite clear approaching males is trangression. besides it also clashes with the "natural" order in which God created human beings apart from bringing destruction of family and institution of marriage.
so far i didnt find anything in Holy Quran that favours and if not remains neutral regarding approaching the same sex. the only instance i could find is in the story of prophet lot wherein the inhabitants were inhalilated.
It leads one to wonder if any women (other than Lot's wife) or children were destroyed with the inhabitants. We weren't witnesses, so it is difficult to say. If women and children were destroyed, it would be indicate that the reason for destruction was not related to homosexuality.
5338 None can carry the burdens of another.
The Qur'an describes that everything has been created in pairs which complement one another. Pairing of male and female is thus part of natural order. on many instances the Qur'an describes the husband/wife relationship as one of love, tenderness, and support.
A homosexual is also part of a pair. Does a practicing homosexual not have a partner? Is a lesbian a mate for a heterosexual male, or a gay male a mate for a heterosexual woman? Nah!
i dont know if being gay is psychological problem or any other thing, but i certainly do know that Allah created man and then a female as his partner and consort.
may peace and blessing of Allah be upon all.
I just don't find sufficient evidence to say that a homosexual can't be a muslim. It isn't explicitly stated, so why take chances and forbid what is not forbidden? It is an individual and private matter, and does not require interference.
ALLAH knows best.

Salaam Abdul-Hadi,
As far as I know the people of Lut forced sex upon victims of the same gender and it was not "only" homosexuality but homosexual rape. And apart from that they were highwaymen as far as I can recall.
God bless you

Salam
(from here)
Whether Gays are muslim or non muslim is a question of "action" and "i'qtiqad" (creed); ie. "iman" and "amal". Both elements must be present for someone to be called as a Muslim or Non-Muslim. There is no simple rule since human beings are not perfect and Allah want us to continuously improve, that's what matter to Allah. There is no one perfect in this world.
Therefore what they did is not so much for consideration because we don't understand their reasons and they are the only person who really know why they are behaving such ways.
Thus, it is their "i'qtiqad" (creed) that matter, and the relevant question for the issue of whether they are muslim or non muslim is....
The issue is how can someone be a Muslim if he is IQ'TIQAD (creed) NOT TO "surrenders and submits to the laws of God"?
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)and similarly...
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-muslimaIt is what's inside of us and how we continuously improving ourselves that matter most to Allah (priority). Based on these elements of "continuous improvement for Allah" (doers of good, to self etc.), some prostitutes are closer to Allah than some ulema, the illegitimate pretender.
Therefore, we cannot easily judge "peoples' behaviours" even if she is a prostitute, and can only discuss the "rules in the Qur'an"; ie. The issue of "What is the rule?"
These were my views, Allah knows best.

General Rule
And those who guard their private parts <- ALL human beings have private parts, including homosexual
Except from their wives <- referring to marriages
or those their right hands possess
for indeed, they are not to be blamed
But whoever seeks beyond that
then they are the transgressors
(7029-31)Simple question.
Are gay men?
IF YES.. follow this rule.
|
Premise 1|
The Qur'an says men must guard their "private parts" except from their spouses/wives|
Premise 2|
Gays are men and have "private parts"|
|
|
Therefore (rule)|
Gays must guard their "private parts" except from their spouses/wives|
|
OR
Show me an ayat that Allah sets them free from this obligation, which all men are subject.
Simplified..
IF THEN ELSE.
IF gays are men
THEN gays must guard their private parts except from their spouses/wives
ELSE show an ayat that Allah sets them free from this obligationPeace peace
-
spouses/wives can also be translated as partners...
because for women they should also guard their private parts from their husbands, and Qur'an doesn't say so, so it is logical to assume the translation it this, and other places as PARTNERS...
no? ???

Yes they have total freedom to do whatever they want with their Private part .
The evident teaching
Total Freedom = Do whatever you want/wish , with your yourself and your private part .

Greetings and Peace, all group
My comments are in purple.
Salam Abdul-hadi ,
And you will not find too evidence to say that a homosexual can be a Muslim , It isn't explicitly stated , so why take chances and allow what is not allowed ?
If a thing is not disallowed, it is allowed. Homosexuality has not been shown to be disallowed, therefore it is allowed. It is not a matter of "me" allowing something or not. Are you inventing rules that a thing must be explicitly allowed to be lawful?
Therefor evidence to say that homosexual is to be avoided by straight Muslim is explicitly stated
I'm don't understand the above statement, can you reword it please? What evidence? Why would a straight muslim have any interest in homosexuality in the first place?
The below is the best knowledge from Allaah regarding the matter

,It has already been shown that the more accurate translation of the verses in question is mates and not spouses. A homosexual isn't allowed to be promiscuous any more than a heterosexual is; sexual acts are restricted to their mates. The verses apply to all people; men and women and homosexual/bisexual/heterosexual.
7029 And those who keep covered their private parts.
7030 Except around their mates or those maintained by their oaths, there is no blame.
7031 Whoever seeks anything beyond this, they are the transgressors.What legitimate interest could a person have in labeling other people non-muslim, anyway? There isn't one. It smacks of oppression. It is hateful. It is the very opposite of inviting others to the Deen.
494 O you who believe, if you go forth in the cause of GOD, you shall investigate carefully. And do not say to those who greet you with peace "You are not a believer!" You are seeking the vanity of this world; but with GOD are many riches. That is how you were before, but GOD graced you, so investigate carefully. GOD is expert over what you do.
4912 O you who believe, you shall avoid much suspicion, for some suspicion is sinful. And do not spy on one another, nor shall you backbite. Would any of you enjoy eating the flesh of his dead brother? You certainly would hate this. You shall observe GOD. GOD is Redeemer, Merciful.
May ALLAH see fit to Guide all seekers.
