Gay and Muslim?
-
However on the issue of whether he is a Muslim ...
I don't think he is a Muslim.. the rule is very clear.
Why he wants to change the rule and be called as a Muslim if he don't want to follow the Qur'an? hmm
Only the munafiqoon (hypocrites) and mushrikeen (associators) wants to be called or identified with for what he was not.
Peace
You can think as you wish I suppose, and may God decide all disputes. )
I don't think you've really demonstrated the Quran is against specifically homosexuality, as others mentioned, there are things like gang violence associated with the actual Quranic sin. I'd hope no one would suggest homosexuals are all violent rapists.
Ultimately I think only God could determine who believes. Again, may God decide all disputes.

Is Munafiqoon or Mushrikeen is a Muslim?

(227) (57 ) (821) (3030) (446)
(28) (3938) (1031) (439) (367)
And (remember) Lout (Lot), when he said to his people
You commit Al-Fahishah (sodomy the worst sin)
which none has preceded you in (committing) it in the 'Alamin (mankind and jinns).
Verily, you do sodomy with men, and... <- comparison (1732)
(2929)(1430) (6150) (2543) (4523)
Fahisha means immorality/lewdness. Adultery is one example of fahisha. See 42531 for one example of this.
Regarding the people of Lot committing lewdness not done before...
Homosexuality has been found depicted in cave paintings that are dated to be around 12,000 years old.
Further, physical evidence remains of homosexuality in Mesopotamia around 5,000 years ago; note that this is over a thousand years before the people of Lot were destroyed (circa 1953 BCE).
Homosexuality is DEFINED as attraction to the same gender. This attraction need not be acted on for an individual to be homosexual. In the same way that a "straight" person does not have to be sexually active to be straight, a homosexual person does not have to sexually active to be homosexual. An individual does not have much choice in the matter as to what sexually attracts them.
226 GOD does not shy away from putting forth the example of a mosquito, or anything above it. As for those who believe, they know that it is the truth from their Lord. As for the rejecters, they say "What does GOD intend with this example?" He strays many by it, and He guides many by it; but He only strays by it the wicked.
Homosexuality has been found in ALL known species that reproduce sexually--and yes, this includes mosquitos.

Some people are just hateful I guess, and I wonder if they think hate and discrimination are godly values?
They'll concoct while theories from their thousand and one sources. Then, they'll throw some random Quran verses in that bare no relevance. Some people are just hypocrites.
-
Salaam,
The primary crime of the people of Lut was that they forced people into having sex and apparently robbed travelers on the highway. I think the homosexuality in that case was the least sinful one if at all. However, the story saya that they prefer men over their women and it depends on how you interpret that.
God bless you
-
Peace all,
It says they preferred men over women, but in the case of gay people, can that really be helped? Not if gay people don't choose to be attracted to the same sex, and not the opposite. Its not really a matter of liking both even and choosing to like men better.

Gay or homosexuality is sexual gratification from the same sex. It starts from the border line between childhood and adolescence, until adulteration is completed i.e. when we reach adulthood. The borderline between childhood and adolescence is the stage when the habit of masturbation is invented as the most gratifying discovery when a boy touches his own genital organ; and when a female touches her own genital organ; here starts male to male; and female to female sensual affinities - the mental growth of gay sexual aberration is seeded here. None is exempt from this globally pandemic, genetic, genital disorder. These are truly homo-sapiens.
Except for Allah, Who shall bring forth the pristine life from the dead and decayed, it is impossible for the humanity as a whole to become free of this sensuality which is punitively offensive to the sensibilities of one's mental calibre. Only when our masturbation tendency weans away, we shall become aware of our distinguishing and discerning abilities. This is the reward from Allah, awaiting one and all.
Instead of justifying this mental dysfunction through debate as normal physiological activity, we can be prayerful or Wishfully obeying the Will of Allah and put our Trust in Him with the prayer
O God of the worlds;
Save us from the sensualities.
Elevate us from the ritual debates;
And make our minds surrender to Your Will -
Raise us in Honour and Enlightenment,
With all praise to Your ordainment.
That perhaps You might raise us -
To the Throne; as we submit
To You alone; us, as You acquit.Salam

I don't think you've really demonstrated the Quran is against specifically homosexuality
Salam
Why should I demonstrate the Qur'an is against specifically homosexuality? hmm
The issue is why he is a Muslim?
Without being too controversial, I wanted to ask if a person can be gay and Muslim?
The above is your question on this thread and the issue I'm referring to. (refer here and here)
Therefore, I have given the ayats from the Qur'an (refer here) on the issue of why he is not a Muslim and if one to make a conclusion in the opposition, then it is better to refer an ayat from the Qur'an rather than making a conclusion from what he feels are the right things to say.
Secondly,
there are things like gang violence associated with the actual Quranic sin. I'd hope no one would suggest homosexuals are all violent rapists.
The issue is not whether sodomy is equal to violent rapists. )
and as I said...
Between individuals (vs. state powers), it might have some truth in it and its up to the person to commit the "Al-Fahishah" or not..
Allah say..
Say, "Enjoy Yourselves! (1430)
and
O you who have believed
upon you is yourselves
(5105)Thirdly,
You can think as you wish I suppose, and may God decide all disputes. )
So true.. therefore where is the ayat from the Qur'an to support the conclusion that he is a Muslim?
Where is the ayat to support the conclusion that there is a provision for "Gay Muslim" in the Qur'an?
Where is the ayat to support the conclusion that reading the Qur'an would make us believe that Islam support gayism and homosexuality? yes
And in anything over which you disagree
its ruling is to Allah <- ie. an ayat from the Qur'an
, "That is Allah , my Lord
upon Him I have relied
and to Him I turn back."
(4210)And (remember) Lout (Lot), when he said to his people
You commit Al-Fahishah (sodomy the worst sin)
which none has preceded you in (committing) it in the 'Alamin (mankind and jinns).
Verily, you do sodomy with men, and... <- comparison (1732)
(2929)Peace peace

What is a Muslim?
Then I hope to hear your comment on this
And DO NOT eat of that on which Allah's name has not been mentioned
and that is most surely a transgression
and most surely the Shaitans suggest to their friends that they should contend with you
and if you obey them, you (Muhammad) shall most surely be polytheists. (6121)For a simple reason of eating of that on which Allah's name has not been mentioned
Even the Prophet would become associator, ie. not a Muslim
Despite the syahadah, salat, fasting, zakat and sadaqah, hajj, jihad etc.......
Prophet Muhammad will not be a Muslim if disobey the "DO NOT" prohibition (breach of contract).Now the question....
-
Can we claim more privilege than the Prophet?
-
Can you prove that we are allowed to ignore the "DO NOT" prohibition
and still entitle to call ourselves a Muslim?
Rational
None dispute concerning the communications of Allah but those who disbelieve
(404)Such has been the course of Allah that has indeed run before
and you shall not find a change in Allah's course
(4823)Impossible for people who i'tiqad to disobey Allah to be a Muslim and enter Paradise.

Just to remind and it is worthwhile to add to the above prayer,
O God,
Show us and our generations to come,
the manifested evidence as you have shown to Yusuf,
and make us firm believer,
so as to avoid, from evil and lewdness.1224 And certainly she made for him, and he Yusuf would have made for her, were it not that he had seen the manifest evidence of his Lord; thus averted from him evil and lewdness, surely he was one of Our sincere servants.

There is no reason why a person can't be both gay and follow the Deen.
Both psychology and modern medicine accept homosexuality in humans as normal.
1736 And do not uphold what you have no knowledge of. For the hearing, eyesight, and heart, all these you are responsible for.
3918 The ones who listen to what is being said, and then follow the best of it. These are the ones whom GOD has guided, and these are the ones who possess intelligence.
Homosexuality is either natural (the fact that it is prevalent in ALL sexual species supports this argument), or it is some form of disorder. If it is natural, there is no problem. If it is some form of disorder (peer reviewed citation please?), please consider 4817.
4817 There is no burden on the blind, nor is there any burden on the cripple, nor is there any burden on the sick. And whoever obeys GOD and His messenger, He will admit them into gardens with rivers flowing beneath them; and whoever turns away, He will punish him with a painful retribution.
ALLAH knows who follows the Deen and who doesn't. Please especially consider 494.
436 And serve GOD and do not set up anything with Him, and do good to the parents, and the relatives, and the orphans, and the needy, and the neighbor who is a relative, and the neighbor nearby, and the friend nearby, and the wayfarer, and those maintained by your oaths. GOD does not love the arrogant, the boastful.
486 And if you are greeted with a greeting, then return an even better greeting or return the same. GOD is Reckoning over all things.
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.
244 Do you exhort the people to do good, but forget yourselves, while you are reciting the Book? Do you not comprehend?
4911 O you who believe, let not any people ridicule other people, for they may be better than they. Nor shall any women ridicule other women, for they may be better than they. Nor shall you mock one another, or call each other names; miserable indeed is the name of wickedness after attaining faith. And anyone who does not repent, then these are the transgressors.
10109 And follow what is being inspired to you and be patient until GOD judges. And He is the best of judges.
58 O you who believe, stand for GOD and be witnesses for justice, and let not the hatred towards a people make you avoid being just. Be just, for it is closer to righteousness, and be aware of GOD. GOD is expert over what you do.
2256 There is no compulsion in the system; the proper way has been clarified from the wrong way. Whoever rejects evil, and believes in GOD, indeed he has taken grasp of the strongest hold that will never break. GOD is Hearer, Knower.
Btw, one must remember ALLAH before eating, not pronounce/mention over the food.

Please look at the Arabic (in brackets) and juxtapose with other verses. AQ 774 and 7205 leave absolutely no doubt in this matter.
6118 So eat from that on which the name of GOD has been remembered , if you indeed believe in His revelations.
3135 And those who, if they commit lewdness, or wrong themselves, they remember GOD and seek forgiveness for their sins. And who can forgive the sins except GOD? And they do not persist in what they have done while they know.
774 "And remember that He made you successors after 'Aad, and He established you in the land so that you make palaces on its plains, and you carve homes in the mountains. So remember the grace of GOD, and do not roam the earth as corrupters."
7205 And remember your Lord within yourself, in humility and in reverence; and without loudness in words, during the morning and the evening. And do not be of the careless ones.
2236 And the plump livestock, We have made them for you to be among the symbols of GOD; you will have benefit in them. So remember the name of GOD upon them in succession; then, once their sides have become still, you may eat from them and feed with them the poor and the needy. It was thus that We have made them in service to you, that you may be thankful.
May ALLAH see fit to Guide all seekers.

Because you're claiming it, and it doesn't seem to be in a way demonstrated beyond your personal conjecture.
The issue is not whether sodomy is equal to violent rapists. )
Yes it is, because gang violence is mentioned along with the sin in the story of Lot. Its directly related to it.
So true.. therefore where is the ayat from the Qur'an to support the conclusion that he is a Muslim?
Where is the ayat to support the conclusion that there is a provision for "Gay Muslim" in the Qur'an?
If the Quran doesn't actually outright condemn homosexuality why does there need to be one to support it? By your standard I could say bring a Quran verse to support a Muslim sleeping at 2 o'clock pm, and if you can't bring one, one cannot do so and be Muslim.
Gayism
No offense, but how old are you? If you're going to start devolving into insults I'm not sure I'm going to keep discussing with you. I'll pray for your obvious prejudice.
-

Science is surreal objective gathering of bits and pieces of broke theories of man against the truth of God, that shall only be appreciated by the sense of higher faculties such as the mind and still higher, the soul.

Peace.
To be honest, I don't even know what my stance is in regard to homosexuality. Some say they were born that way, but there is no scientific backing for that, except for a whole bunch of theories. Some way that it's learned behavior that is nurtured in early childhood (0-3). Others will try to make the connection between the increased availability of pornography and an increased likelihood of "deviating" away from what's considered natural and neuro typical. Whether it's learned behavior or genetic, is it a choice? Personally, I don't think attraction is a conscious choice. So, what the heck does that mean?
In the US, where this is highly charged topic, it's almost blasphemous (very politically incorrect) to say that homosexuality may be in fact a psychological disorder of some sort. Though, for many years, it was classified as just that. All I know is that the APA (American Psychological Association) mysteriously removed homosexuality from the DSM with absolutely no rationale given to the public. Political Pressure? Maybe. As a result, nobody seems to want to fund any research in relation to possible points of origin or reparative therapy.
We may just have to deal with the consequences of all of this while keeping silent, given that our forefathers were more akin to coming to the table with their pitchforks, rather than wanting to reflect on how and why homosexuality appears in roughly 10% of the American population.

I'm quite confused, since when a sexual desires becoming a "psychological disorder". If "sexual psychological disorder" or "half psychological disorder" is a valid defense in Islam, then the whole prohibitions in the Qur'an are irrelevant since it is quite easy to bypass all the "DO NOT" prohibition in the Qur'an .
We do not need the institution of marriage and everything will be related to "psychological disorder"! All of us have "psychological disorder" relating to sex! yes
Have you seen the one who takes as his god his own desire?
Then would you be responsible for him?
