Peace JHamza,
Thanks for the verses.
R u aware of any other verses regarding homosexuality in Quran?
And also, can u explain ur understanding of 'Polygamy' mentioned in Quran?
Peace!
Peace peacefulmuslim,
Lot said to his people, "You commit such an abomination; no one
in the world has done it before! "You practice sex with the men,
instead of the women. Indeed, you are a transgressing people."They were commiting an abominaion,by having sex with men instead of women..
"Do you have sex with the males, of all the people? "You forsake
the wives that your Lord has created for you! Indeed, you are
transgressing people."They were foresaking women to have sexual relations with men.
2755"Do you approach men in your lusts rather than women? Nay, but you are a people who behave senselessly."
2756 There was no other answer given by his people except that they said "Drive out the family of Lout (Lot) from your city. Verily, these are men who want to be clean and pure!"Lot and his family were not like the other people.
2929"Verily, you do sodomy with men, and rob the wayfarer (travellers, etc.)! And practise Al-Munkar (disbelief and polytheism and every kind of evil wicked deed) in your meetings." But his people gave no answer except, that they said "Bring All?h's Torment upon us if you are one of the truthful."
We all know what sodomy is...
And GOD made for you spouses from among yourselves, and produced for you from your spouses children and grandchildren, and provided you with good provisions. Should they believe in falsehood, and turn unappreciative of GOD's blessings?
Cant produce children with same sex marriages,so spouses mean male and female in marriage..
Let there be a community of you who invite to what is good, advocate
righteousness, and forbid evil. These are the winners.
971]
The believing men and women are allies of one another. They advocate
righteousness and forbid evil, they observe the Contact Prayers (Salat)
and give the obligatory charity (Zakat), and they obey GOD and His
messenger. These will be showered by GOD's mercy. GOD is
Almighty, Most Wise.The believing Community is to advocate righteous things and forbid evil acts and any person that isnt blind to the Truth can see that the Quran and Allah hates the act of homosexuality..
Hating the sin and forbiding illegal sexual acts to be approven within the community though doesnt mean we are to mistreat the person.
GOD does not enjoin you from befriending those who do not fight
you because of religion, and do not evict you from your homes. You
may befriend them and be equitable towards them. GOD loves the
equitable. GOD enjoins you only from befriending those who fight
you because of religion, evict you from your homes, and band
together with others to banish you. You shall not befriend them.
Those who befriend them are the transgressors.Being equitable though doesnt mean to approve of something that God dislikes...

You forgot to highlight the part where it says that no people in creation committed before you.Some might think that dismisses the fact that it was homosexuality, but the explanation is that none before YOU could have done it or YOU would not be here to talk about it because Homosexuals dont create children.

R u for the first time taking verses in the literal sense instead of metaphorising them? How come?I am certainly not taking it literal, meaning that a man named LOT offered his daughters without thier permission to be prostitutes, no.
U have metaphorised everything in the entire Quran
Not everything, just the prophetic stories, but still studying.
..........even the idea of God, Heaven, Hell, Mohammed, iblis etc.
I do not necessarilly metaphorize the God, I just dont have the God as an OBJECT out there in the skies.
U claim not to believe a person named Mohammed exsisted becoc u have no direct knowledge about him.
I do not lean in any direction regarding "Muhammad Ibn Abdulah". I have no proof of his existence or non existence. My only interest is in my spiritual GUIDANCE, which is not built from blind faith, but from KNOWLEDGE and the ability to carry out the knowledge.
Did u know the people of Lot by urself? Did u witness their deeds? How exactly did u verify them?
No, I dont know them , nor do I take the story as literal, the God is not telling us to offer our daughters up for prostitution.
I verify the story by looking at the universe, "male" and "female" are designed as a compliment to each other there is yin and yang to all of life.
It is the union of opposites that creates life, therefore "NONE BEFORE YOU HAVE DONE THIS", couldnt have, or you wouldnt be here to talk about it.
Or Is that becoz these verses might be in ur favour that u choose to specifically give a literal meaning to it?
I hope it is clear now.

It is unfortunate that your arabic friend hasn't corrected the translations for you.
However, say you lived in a time where homosexulaity in both sexes was accepted and understood ,so much so that noboday needed terms like homo or hetro to describe these differences.
Then one day a group of men in your village started raping other men, castrating them to stop them from being with women.
How would you describe what was going on. What would you say to them when you'd meet them.
There is no wrong or right answer nor is this a trick question.
peace.

I would be rather angry, because my free choice to be with either sex was in danger of being limited to just one?I'd let them know about it! lol
However, in this hypothetical "time" you describe, the concept of right or wrong is not present. Yet we, who are in possession of such a concept are suddenly 'dropped' into this time, and expected to answer your question.
Problematic.

Peace JHamza,
Thanks for the verses yet again.
All these verses are about the people of Lot, arent they?
Can u say for sure, that the people of lot that are spoken about in these verses were homosexuals (born that way)? Could they be heterosexuals practising homoseuality out of lustful choice, becoz of which they are scorned?We all are aware homosexuality as such is an aberration from the common 'normal'. How many of such aberrations are adressed in Quran?
Do u find verses on hermaphrodies in Quran?And as for procreation, How many homosexuals do u think exsist in the world? I think statistics in USA showed 4%.
And Is procreation a compulsion even among heterosexuals? What would u do about those heterosexual couples who choose not to have kids?And u havent adressed my previous request
And also, can u explain ur understanding of 'Polygamy' mentioned in Quran?
Peace!

Peace idolfree1,
Thanks for ur explanations.
I understood ur views just as u have described it.You forgot to highlight the part where it says that no people in creation committed before you.
Some might think that dismisses the fact that it was homosexuality, but the explanation is that none before YOU could have done it or YOU would not be here to talk about it because Homosexuals dont create children.
Isnt the underlined part ur extended understanding of the verse?
Could it have been '' no heterosexual people before u were so lustul to choose men over women''?Peace!

Peace Nabi,
Or Is that becoz these verses might be in ur favour that u choose to specifically give a literal meaning to it?
What is metaphorical does not have to be not literal. If you think that because the reading is interpreted metaphorically that it is not literal than I disagree with you here. I think you have misunderstood Kyle because he has given the metaphor, but like I said they can be literal which you have clearly ascertained. You have not seen the metaphor.
I agree that I dont see some of the metaphors that some of u see.
But U might have misunderstood Idolfree1's views.I am certainly not taking it literal, meaning that a man named LOT offered his daughters without thier permission to be prostitutes, no.
No, I dont know them , nor do I take the story as literal, the God is not telling us to offer our daughters up for prostitution.
I verify the story by looking at the universe, "male" and "female" are designed as a compliment to each other there is yin and yang to all of life.

you mean then that homosex people are borm like that, don't you?
If you don't mean that, then you think they are born heterosexual, right?
Then, why are you surprised by the sentence?
--I don't say anything about 'bio' because I don't understand it. -

Nice try
no no, I mean when a hetro sleeps with a man, he can't be a hetro any more, he chose to be a homo like the one he slept with him who decided to be a homoi earlier
for the bio, it means he sleeps with both, you know gettin the max of life before the judgment day, a bio, is a homo and a hetro at once
cheers
