    Rather a Christian than an asshole.

    Salam

    Thanks for your praise. laugh

    Proven! Revealing you're true self, just like any sectarian Sunni or Shia.

    You must be the lowliest of beings. Hitting really low and behavior like a true sucker and saying you believe in God. And saying behavior will not count while it is one of the main criteria according to Qur'an. Christian point of view?? It is one of the most important perspectives of Islam.

    Now I know I said asshole to you but foul language is allowed when you are subject to gross injustice, should you know who interprets the book so literally.

    Where is your patience?

    You know well what you really are.

    Always knew it , right from the start.

    I've said it.

    Peace

        Too much wishful thinking, and I don't how your post is contributing or answering the issue of this thread (refer here and here). You are not referring to the Qur'an and make your personal opinions and wishful thinking from the start. Now, you are calling people "rebel" (refer here), "curse them to hell" (refer here and here), make hate comments (sectarian), and make so many "blank accusations" (refer here) which I don't bother to reply, and simply because they are referring to the Qur'an and have different perspectives. In conclusion, you are the best of all and will be entered into Paradise, and without any needs to refer the Qur'an. It is always other peoples' problems and be in hell (refer here). Please send my regard to Allah, I'll be waiting in the Hell Fire. In fact, I'm not afraid of the Hell Fire!! ;D

        Peace

          ALL human beings have private parts (including homosexual)

          Therefore, Allah has permitted "marriage" and has forbidden everything else.

          Therefore, "same-sex-marriage" is prohibited since marriage is between man/woman
          and there is no such things as using "private parts" to anyone other than
          "wives" or "spouses".

          Unfortunately your reds words didn't backed by any ayats in the Quran, even there is one, this just your misintepretation.

          Verses about "guard private part" is 235-6

          23.5 And who (&#1606 keep covered their private parts.
          23.6 Except around their mates (&#1605, or those who are maintained by their oaths, they are free from blame.

          The blue word is allazi mean which, who, whom, whose and this is masculine.
          The red word is azwaj or zawaj, means mate (mate can be husband or wife) and interestingly the red word is also masculine!!

          This means this verse is neutral in gender and translation you used is a distortion one.
          And verse 7029-31 is a repetation of 235-6.

          Punishment for homosexual committing the offence of sexual intercourse

          otherwise, I believe they must be punished with the same punishment in (241-2), ie. based on the "NATURE OF OFFENCE" - "Sexual Intercourse".

          Hence to judge if homosexual is an adultery or not, we must take proper investigation first.

          Peace

            The question is simple... (from here)

            MAJOR QUESTION/ISSUE

            Whether "homosexuals" must guard their "private parts" EXCEPT to "wives" (women/marriage)?

            Answer, choose one

            Homosexuals "must guard" their private parts except to "wives" (ie. marriage)

            Homosexuals "can use" their private parts to "anyone" (ie. same-sex marriage, etc.)

            • Please, no rambling about Lut etc. I'm not discussing about "Lut's nation", but I'm discussing about the rules relating to "private parts". Therefore, please give your authority and clear verses that homosexual can use their "private parts" to anyone, other than "wives" or "spouses".

            and I believe, you also ignored all the translation in that post, including the Indonesian translation, despite both of us are just "forumers". State your translation, and we can also start from there logically.

            Peace

              That is not the issue..

              Interesting, you don't know the difference between the "Procedural Law" and "Substantive Law", and treat the "Procedural Law" as if it is the "Substantive Law" relating to the offence itself, and yet, still be able to say...

                Greetings and Peace, all group

                Salam

                How is that could be considered as answering the following question? confused

                Peace

                There are multiple questions in that link...and only one question in the previous post. You'll have to be clearer if you want questions reanswered...reasking the question so that it can be reanswered would be better than posting a link.

                As for the question in the previous post, I didn't make the claim that the two words are the same. The words are not the same. I even stated this in the previous post when I stated

                "It is apparent that the words are different...look at the roots though. Also, consider the other evidences, such as different words used for wife and wives."

                However, rather than get bogged down in such minutiae...there are some long outstanding questions that you haven't answered. How terrible it must be to accuse others of not answering questions when they haven't answered dozens of questions themselves. Why, doing such could openly expose a person as being a hypocrite!

                I'll repost the questions here for your convenience! I'll even post my own understanding for comparison. Btw, ack is shorthand for acknowledged.

                Acknowledge that AQ is not ridiculous.

                ack

                Acknowledge that physical evidence is not ridiculous.

                ack

                Refute that ALLAH created people differently, as is stated in AQ 3022.

                can't refute it

                Refute that ALLAH gave us signs in nature, as is stated in AQ 226 and 2164.

                can't refute it

                Refute that ALLAH created homosexual animals, as are found in nature.

                can't refute it, except for animals that don't reproduce sexually at all

                Refute that AQ 2929 lists reasons aside from male homosexuality that the people of Lot might have been destroyed.

                can't refute it

                Refute that the women among the people of Lot were innocent of male-male sex.

                can't refute it

                Refute that women and children among the people of Lot were destroyed alongside the men among the people of Lot.

                Maybe. I wasn't a witness. There is an argument that they were saved with the family of Lot (peace upon all Prophets).

                Refute that there is no compulsion in the Deen, as is stated in AQ 2256.

                can't refute

                Refute that homosexuality is depicted in cave paintings that physically exist that have been dated to be around 12,000 years old.

                can't refute

                Refute that homosexuality existed at least 5,000 years ago among humans in Mesopotamia, as is found among physical existing evidence.

                can't refute

                Refute that the people of Lot were destroyed around 1953 BCE.

                can't refute

                Refute that circa 3000 BCE is before 1953 BCE.

                can't refute

                Refute that over a thousand years span the time between the recorded homosexual acts in Mesopotamia and the time that the people of Lot were destroyed.

                can't refute

                Refute that AQ 780 refers to lewdness "such as none of the worlds had done before."

                can't refute

                Acknowledge that no person alive was present among the people of Lot.

                ack

                Refute that AQ 1736 states not to uphold what one has no knowledge of.

                can't refute

                Acknowledge that physical evidence can comprise knowledge.

                ack

                Acknowledge that knowledge is better than conjecture.

                ack

                424 And the independent from the women, except those maintained by your oaths; the book of GOD over you; and permitted for you is what is beyond this, if you are seeking with your money to be independent, not for illicit sex. As for those whom you have already had joy with, then you shall give them their dowries as an obligation. There is no sin upon you for what you agree on after the obligation. GOD is Knowledgeable, Wise.

                So, is a homosexual relationship beyond this, or not? Yes or no, please.

                Yes, a homosexual relationship is beyond this.

                Homosexuality and homosexual actions long predate the people of Lot. Could it be, perhaps, that approaching people lustfully (men or women) is transgression?

                Yes, approaching people lustfully is a transgression.

                In all seriousness, if the lewdness referred to in 415 is homosexuality or even homosexual acts, is this something that spreads?

                No, homosexuality doesn't spread. You can't "catch the ghey".

                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.

                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?

                I can't

                Homosexuality is not something that can spread--for that matter, neither is fornication. Do you dispute this?

                Neither can spread; no dispute.

                Homosexuality is not something that can be improved/bettered/cured. Do you dispute this?

                Not by any known method; no dispute.

                So then...where is this "homosexuality" that you are referring to coming from--a preconceived notion?

                Can't answer this question for you!

                Start bringing in other scriptures to supplement/complement/supplant the Deen, and there are contradictions. Do you stone an adulterer or lash them? Is shellfish an abomination?

                Lash them, per the Qur'an. Shellfish is not an abomination.

                Is the Qur'an enough for a believer or is it not?

                For the Deen, yes, it is enough.

                (your question) Whether "homosexuals" must guard their "private parts" EXCEPT to "wives" (women/marriage)?

                So then, does a woman have to guard her private parts except to her wife?

                No! All people have to guard their private parts, except to their partner.

                "Except from their wives" is literal and applies to men only, hmm?

                No! It is a mistranslated verse that properly translated states that all people have to be chaste except to their partner.

                Is it not clear that the verses refer to pairs/mates/groups (which includes spouses)?

                It is clear to me!

                @muslims You stated that when I place words for comparison that they "ignores its context" , then apply 548-49 out of context? What is the word that best describes a person that accuses others...and undertakes the same action that they accuse others of?

                Yes, and the word is "hypocrite".

                What are the words for wife and wives in AQ?

                There are multiple words. It is puzzling why one would believe that "azwjihim" means wives and wives only when so many other words are used to describe wives.

                What do you mean by "general" verses? Do you discount any verses and if so, which and why?

                There are no such things as general verses, only verses. I discount none of them.

                What do you call a person who engages in hypocrisy?

                a hypocrite

                Were you attempting a pun (straight path) in a serious conversation?

                If so, it was not funny.

                Is pretending insult when you weren't even singled out just a way of muddying the water?

                This is an example of muddying the water, but whether it was done deliberately or not is unclear (no pun intended).

                ALLAH knows best.

                peace

                  I already told you if 235-6 is not about marriage, but guard private parts from mate (mate can be same-sex gender).

                  Yes marriage in Quran is about husband and wive, but God never explicitly condemn same-sex marriage.

                    and that is supposed to answer this simple question? ;D

                    Why Allah used different words, while you are interpreting these words should mean the same as (6143) ?

                    Is is exactly the same with ?

                    Context?

                      Salaam,

                      I am terribly sorry for my behavior in this thread dear brothers and sisters. I should not have let myself be provoked into this meaningless quarrel and I showed a bad example of a Muslim and not enough patience. May God make me do better next time.

                      My last post off-topic here, I promise.

                      God bless you

                        Peace all,

                        It is very understandable that when topics of significance are discussed, it touches our cores when they are contested, so, naturally, tempers splay.

                        But when they do splay, it is beneficial in this respect they serve as reminders that we are in fact descending from debate into insults.

                        Insults, needless to say, are not productive in the objective pursuit of truth.

                        I myself have had topics vigorously contested that I hold close to my heart, though, I choose not to let loose my temper, but instead, rebut with a solid and cohesive argument to my greatest ability.

                        This, for me, is revenge enough.

                        Not to mention the fact that the use of curses towards other forum members violates the rules of this forum. And it is such a bore to see people throttling each other's necks every time I log into free-minds.

                        I pray, reason!

                          (from here)

                          No, I'm not ignoring your answer and yet, I mentioned how a "forumer" is better qualified and could reject all major translations in this world as being incorrect, in that particular verse.

                          Further, you are not answering my question, but diverting it to other issues.

                          Now, do you realize your conclusion that "mates" can be of the same sex (or different sex) means all the rules in "the Qur'an is now self-contradicting"?

                          All the rules relating to sexual prohibitions in the Qur'an is meaningless?

                          These rules? (refer here)

                          Including the rules that say homosexual is a transgression? (ie. the Qur'an is now self contradicting)

                          In fact, we don't need rules relating to marriages.

                          Is this your logic?

                          A self-contradicting Qur'an?

                          This has nothing to do with this topic.

                          It has, because you are confused between what is the "rules relating to procedure", and what is the "rules relating to the offence". The difference between "procedural laws" and "substantive laws".

                          Peace

                            No, I'm not ignoring you and yet, I mentioned how a "forumer" is better qualified and could reject all major translations in this world as being incorrect, in that particular verse.

                            Further, you are not answering my question, but diverting it to other issues.

                            Now, do you realize your conclusion that "mates" can be of the same sex (or different sex) means all the rules in "the Qur'an is now self-contradicting"?

                            All the rules relating to sexual prohibition in the Qur'an is meaningless?

                            Is this your logic?

                            Peace

                            So according to you, the majority always true??(3110, 6116)
                            Most of translations yu used is based on Saudi biassed fatwa corridor.I recommend you use free-minds translation.

                            Now, do you realize your conclusion that "mates" can be of the same sex (or different sex) means all the rules in "the Qur'an is now self-contradicting"?

                            Even Quran only give fatwa for heterosexual marriage but Quran never God never condemn same-sex relation explicitly,then how yu judge if homosexs is haram.
                            It's like Quran never give fatwa about "masturbation", so we cannot condemn masturb so easily.

                              Read again, I said "in that particular verse" and the "issue of self contradicting Qur'an" (context).

                              in that particular verse.

                              Please answer or stick to the question or discussion, and don't jump from one issue to the other. You are still not answering and just diverting from the real issue.

                              Peace

                                Your question's pattern is sorry it's nonsense for me, and my answer actually both A and B.

                                  Why so quickly judging the issue as nonsense when I'm asking real question in this thread?

                                  How do you answer all these self contradictions?

                                  Now, do you realize your conclusion that "mates" can be of the same sex (or different sex) means all the rules in "the Qur'an is now self-contradicting"?

                                  All the rules relating to sexual prohibitions in the Qur'an is meaningless?

                                  These rules? (refer here)

                                  Including the rules that say homosexual is a transgression? (ie. the Qur'an is now self contradicting)

                                  In fact, we don't need rules relating to marriages.

                                  Is this your logic?

                                  A self-contradicting Qur'an?

                                  Peace

                                      Greetings and Peace, all group

                                      Salam

                                      and that is supposed to answer this simple question? ;D

                                      Peace

                                      Yes

                                      "It is apparent that the words are different...look at the roots though. Also, consider the other evidences, such as different words used for wife and wives."

                                      This answers the question because it acknowledges that the words are different.

                                      Unless this is another game--the "simple" question is actually composed of three questions--see the three question marks?

                                      The first question is a loaded question and isn't worthy of an answer.
                                      The second question is answered, and reanswered, and will probably be reanswered again in the exact same language if you ask again.
                                      "Context?" is a complex question that isn't all that important.

                                      If you find my answers unsatisfactory, too bad! I don't care. If you can't respect other people in discourse, don't expect respect in return. Answer your own questions to the amusement of the literate public.

                                      If you can't put anything further productive here towards the discussion, you are wasting everybody's time. Reading page after page of posts where you have quoted yourself is a colossal waste of time to all involved, except perhaps yourself.

                                      Of course your questions are more important than the questions of anybody else...that is why you don't answer questions put to you, right? I propose that it is because the answers would make you into admit something that you don't want to admit; namely that a person can be a homosexual and a muslim.

                                      Is truth so uncomfortable to you that you can't embrace it? group

                                      ALLAH knows best.

                                      peace

                                        You are just spamming this thread with your "straw discussion".

                                        Wishful thinking, and it is not from the Qur'an!

                                        Refer to my earlier post, Allah says, "Enjoy Yourselves" ;D

                                        Peace.

                                          Logic is different based oon human perception.

                                          Now, do you realize your conclusion that "mates" can be of the same sex (or different sex) means all the rules in "the Qur'an is now self-contradicting"?
                                          Including the rules that say homosexual is a transgression? (ie. the Qur'an is now self contradicting)

                                          Which part is "self-contradicting" according to you.

                                          These rules? (refer here)

                                          Including the rules that say homosexual is a transgression? (ie. the Qur'an is now self contradicting)

                                          Yo made generalization too hasty.How u judge if Al-fahishah/lewdness especially in Luth verses is homosecual?

                                          Please read 37135.If the reason of God punish Sodom is homosexual/gay act then why the old lady(possibly Luth's wife) also been punished too??

                                          Rule relating to reasoning..

                                          And the example of a bad word
                                          is like a bad tree
                                          uprooted from the surface of the earth
                                          not having any stability
                                          (1426)

                                          I don't mean bad word to you.That mine post didn't complete.And I must add "to say this" after word "sorry".

                                          Peace
