Re: My Lesbian Muslim Friend...
Well no matter what you say or do to help the other person, it's solely their OWN realization that will make them choose the right path. This is not an addiction or obsession where you can lecture them or send them off to some group that will help them. This is purely based on self realization. This is one of the biggest gunnah one can commit and it's only upto her to see how much imaan she has. You may give them as many advices as you wish but in the end, it's whether they are even listening to you or not. If she really wants to realize that it's a sin and she should stop being this way then she has to make efforts on her own part. She needs to ask Allah swt for forgiveness and to lead her on the right path. Noone and I repeat noone can help you more than the Almight himself. Alot of people just use 'oh this is how I am born so God will understand' to wiggle their ways out of complex situations like these. No, that is not acceptable in Islam and the sooner she comes to terms with this fact, the better it is. It is all over the Quran about how much azaab these kind of people will have upon themselves. Is that not enough for her to snap out and try to make changes? I don't get why people need more proof to realize that this is strictly haraam. Noone wants to pick up the Quran or to try to read and understand it, instead, if someone else who knows tell them something, all they can say back is, PROVE it to me. I don't think anyone is born this way, I agree with Aaana. People choose to be like that.
