Re: Looking for supportive verses/ahadeeths against homosexuality
A Hadeeth of the Prophet, sallallahu alaye wa sallam, shows his concern that people of his nation would take the steps of the people of Lut: “What I fear most for my people is that they imitate the people of Lut.” (Ahmad and others)
“ The curse of Allah be upon he who has sexual activity with an animal, and he who imitates the people of Lut.” (Ahmad and Tirmithi)
“ The Almighty Allah does not look at a man who has approached another man or a woman in his/her anus.” (Nasaa’I and Tirmithi).
“ He who is found committing the sin of the people of Lut should be killed along with his partner.” (Ahmad and others)
"We also sent Lut : He said to his people : "Do ye commit lewdness such as no people in creation (ever) committed before you? For ye practice your lusts on men in preference to women: ye are indeed a people transgressing beyond bounds." Qur'an 7:80-81
"What! Of all creatures do ye come unto the males, and leave the wives your Lord created for you? Nay, but ye are forward folk." Qur'an 26:165
Re: Looking for supportive verses/ahadeeths against homosexuality
Just bumped into couple of muslims in montreal who are homosexual. One thing leads to another and we ended up discussing it on religious grounds and at some point i was speechless ..
Here are few arguments that i made
we discussed about qom-e-lot. I ACCEPTED that it was their "one of sin" not the only sin. but .. it was a sin
secondly, if you read quran then you might find few verses where the reward is being mentioned and it is mentioned like this .. "tayabun wa tayibaat" .. i.e. naik mardou k liye naik aurtain hain. it is never mentioned k naik mardou k liye naik mard or vice versa
if you accept that islam is a relgiion which gives you moral values to live in a society besides being a nice human being .. you might realize that being homosexual is against social norms. how come you reproduce further? Just imagine if God had create Adam and John instead of Adam and Eve?
could you guys help me in finding more material against homosexuality?
You have already quoted a few points from Quran and others have also given some good references. Now I would ask you to put your friends on the defensive and ask them to produce something from Quran in the favor of their stance (If they read Quran).
Re: Looking for supportive verses/ahadeeths against homosexuality
There is no 'proven' gene for homosexuality.
Even if it is present, does not mean it is OK to engage in this act.
People have come up with genes and hereditary factors for alcoholism, antisocial behavior etc.
If someone has a bad gene, does that mean the person accepts it and not seek remedy?
They find peace and pleasure within their own sexuality. Why would they find remedy for something which they enjoy and is totally natural to them? Pretty absurd, isn't it?
