Re: Muslim lesbian couple from Pakistan defies life threats, becomes first to get mar
Actually story of Qom e Lu is about lust & what you should not do. It has very little do with gays…where 2 consenting adults get into a life long loving relationship (in this case legally recognized marriage).
Re: Muslim lesbian couple from Pakistan defies life threats, becomes first to get mar
The way Quran mentions it, how people from Qom e Lut were involved in sodomy that they even didn’t accept the offer from the Prophet to marry his daughters. This all say that it was never considered as legal act by any chance (consent or no consent). Even Quran mentions in specific words that sodomy was first practiced in Qom e Lut. No sect of Islam (instead of all the differences they should be condemned for a thousand times) allow gay / lesbian marriages.
Re: Muslim lesbian couple from Pakistan defies life threats, becomes first to get mar
How would it create imbalance in society? Would there be less procreation b/c of homosexuality? Statistically, homosexually population of any given specie(s) in between 3 and 5%. Unless you’re suggesting that just b/c gay marriages are allowed…everyone would want to be married some one from the same sex?
Re: Muslim lesbian couple from Pakistan defies life threats, becomes first to get mar
You’re confusing the issues. 1) Sodomy is common among gays & straight people (this is not an exclusively gay thing). 2) This story comes from the Old Testament & it has to do with the lust. Btw, gays have been around in every society since dawn of the age. Its just that western societies have advanced enough to recognized them & grant them certain rights. I see nothing wrong with that.
Re: Muslim lesbian couple from Pakistan defies life threats, becomes first to get mar
fine, if you don’t see any wrong in it, but being Muslim, people believe what is written and taught in Quran about sodomy and qom e Lut. They believe that qom e Lut was exterminated due to this act. I hope there shouldn’t be any problem in accepting this fact that there is nothing like gay / Lesbian marriages in Muslim (in strict sense) as this is unanimously agreed upon by all the sects of Islam. This is just acceptable on one notion and i.e. Lakum Deenukum Waliya din (For you is your religion, and for me is my religion) which can be translated in modern phrase ‘live and let live’.
Re: Muslim lesbian couple from Pakistan defies life threats, becomes first to get mar
With that reasoning many of the rest of us should be ‘non-Muslims’ as well.. ppl who’ve had pre-marital relationships, committed adultery, lied or even use credit..
Am pretty sure only apostasy actually takes someone out of the fold of Islam..
Re: Muslim lesbian couple from Pakistan defies life threats, becomes first to get mar
There are a lot of things which no sect in Islam allows but Muslims still do..

Not sure why it’s ok to call ppl ‘non-Muslim’ just because they’re sinning differently from you or me..
Re: Muslim lesbian couple from Pakistan defies life threats, becomes first to get mar
There you go again - you have a habit of blaming the faith for the acts of some of its adherents … I understand you don’t like the violent fundos - but at least express a positive view of religious people who are not violent … by the look and sound of it - you seem to believe that we are either a “fundo and violence loving” or we are “modernist and peace loving” … Is it true that you think being religious and non-violent is an oxymoron?
Re: Muslim lesbian couple from Pakistan defies life threats, becomes first to get mar
**Quran says: [5:5] Today, all good food is made lawful for you. The food of the people of the scripture is lawful for you. Also, you may marry the chaste women among the believers, as well as the chaste women among the followers of previous scripture, provided you pay them their due dowries. You shall maintain chastity, not committing adultery, nor taking secret lovers. Anyone who rejects faith, all his work will be in vain, and in the Hereafter he will be with the losers.

Does this count especially the underlined content or we will deny it in the name of our so called liberalism?
There is a thing ‘gunah’ and there is another thing ‘insistence’ on gunah. Haven’t we become extra liberal to insist on gunah (when we inside know the fact that such acts are not allowed in Muslim society.)
Re: Muslim lesbian couple from Pakistan defies life threats, becomes first to get mar
In that case, there’s no point in posting the article on a discussion board, a place where people express their opinions on things/events/news. Why post it here and then expect no one to express their pleasure or disgust over it?

This is an ancient debate amongst people of the past … Some people said a major sin makes someone a kafir, but the dominant opinion is that sinning in itself does not make a person a kafir. However, while they are doing the sin they are in a temporary act of kufr. But on the other hand to change or alter the belief system, that to say a haram thing is infact not haram or an act being a sin is not a sin, then indeed doing that is the same as apostasy.
Taking pride in a sin is apostasy … because it demonstrates that person does not believe that that sin is a sin. Marriage between two of the same gender is taking pride in and declaring to all that the homosexual act is going to be done.
Re: Muslim lesbian couple from Pakistan defies life threats, becomes first to get mar
isn’t there a hadith narrated to hazrat abu zar (RA) that every muslim will enter jannah..even if he has committed adultry?
is committing a sin is act of kufr?
i totally agree with part that declaring haram as halal and halal as haram is kufr…
Re: Muslim lesbian couple from Pakistan defies life threats, becomes first to get mar
Peace ninja hattori
Thanks for the question … It can be a bit confusing … But the way to remember it is this:
Doing a sin is kufr
Being in a sin state and taking it to be ok is the being of a kafir person
If a person dies as a kafir (not necessary while doing kufr) then he is not Muslim
If a Muslim person dies and his sins have come out heavy then he must first enter jahannum to have his weight of sins paid for before being granted to enter heaven
Unless by some other avenue of the Rahma of Allah (SWT) he is forgiven his sins then he might enter Jannah directly
We should counter a sin by a good act - we are weak and we can sin - even if a gay wants to be a good Muslim and finds himself doing the act - if he seeks forgiveness sincerely (i.e. not taking pride in the act) then that is what makes him Muslim - by avoiding the liwata/zina act that is what makes him an adherent Muslim.
To die in the state of shirk is also condemnation - this is because shirk is very heavy in the scales … So even a life time of good work will be lighter in the scales against shirk. And Allah (SWT) is Just.
