There is a difference between being attracted to the same sex and having homosexual intercourse. It’s not about denying love. It’s about denying sodomy and the possible health risks involved. Because Islam is about prevention before cure. Nobody is compelled to join the faith if they don’t like that. One love, everyone’s free. Cheers!
This is the quran's stance on the act of homosexuality: (And [We had sent] Lot when he said to his people, "Do you commit such immorality as no one has preceded you with from among the worlds?) 7:80 (Indeed, you approach men with desire, instead of women. Rather, you are a transgressing people.") 7:81
this is what they should have said, very true.they didn't make it clear whether homosexuality is allowed in Islam. if someone is learning about Islam before reverting from your channel, they wouldn't be clear.
@@phdstudentindistress there are no health risks in performing homosexual intercourse, there are health risks tho, in unprotected sex between any two genders
@@aishee5961 All men face certain health risks. However, gay men and men who have sex with men have some specific health concerns. Men who have sex with men are at increased risk of contracting HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, as well as other sexually transmitted infections.
But you couldn’t continue to be ‘actively’ gay if you also choose to be ‘actively’ Muslim, so it’s a bit misleading to say Islam welcomes LGBTQ+ people. You’d only be welcome if you stop being LGBTQ+. It’s the same for *some major religions though, not just Islam! *edited to reflect its not all major religions as previously stated
Literally. Thats what they fail to say in all their lqbtq+ community videos. I'm muslim, and I'm a "part" of LGBTQ+ community since I'm bisexual but I'm not actively bisexual. I've accepted the fact that I'm attracted to same gender but I no intentions of having any relationship with the same gender. I hoped they would specify this but oh well.
@@nyx6407 To me it feels like such a shame to deny such an intrinsic, essential and beautiful part of yourself to follow your faith, but I fully respect the decision you have made. It just makes me wonder why God would give you such a challenge. It’s great that you have found a way that works for you, and I am happy to live in a time and place where people are more accepting of peoples choices. We still have a long way to go of course. Wishing you well ☺️
You can, nothing is physically stopping you from being gay, but how you decide to coordinate both being Muslim and LGBTQ+ is between you and Allah, and no one else. By the way, I'm not Muslim, I'm Sapphic Demigirl.
@@gamerofedge8111 Good point but the Quran specifies acting on homosexual activity is a sin, so I think it would be fair to say that generally speaking it’s frowned upon in Islam. But of course it’s ultimately between the person and Allah as a Muslim and if the person can confidently feel Muslim and gay.
@@koolforkatss9155 Of course, but is being gay the worst sin ever? No, it’s not, in the end no one should ever be shamed for who the are regardless of religion and in the end it’s between a person and whatever higher power(s) they believe in.
but you didnt clarify the main point, the whole point is whether An lgbtq person , say a gay person can convert to islam,and still be a gay and have sexual intimacy with same sex partner, and even marry the partner and live like a heterosexual couple without it being considered bad or sin? i mean u missed the whole point,
It will be considered a sin if they have sex, having feelings is not something you can control, but you can control your actions. But even if they do have sex theyre still Muslim, although they are sinning. And you cant say that they are a good or bad Muslim for it. Its haraam to judge others or pry into their personal lives.
@@maryamkidwai2543 so isnt that discriminating? like u accept sex between a heterosexual couole but same between a homosexual couple is a sin........... so that means u cant act like lgbtq after converting to islam
@@maeeshalt In Islam, this isn’t ‘accepted’ in the way that we shouldn’t be happy or content with these thoughts. we’re supposed to seek refuge in Allah and fight the thoughts. we should fight the waswasa from the shaytan. If someone willingly keeps these thoughts in their head, they turn into ideas and eventually into desires and then most likely into the act. we Muslims have a responsibility to seek knowledge and to try to better ourselves. If you have thoughts to do zina, which is a sin, will you keep them inside your head or try to get rid of them? the same answer is for having thoughts about homosexuality, hopefully your answer was getting rid of them.
Okay. Here is the problem: After converting to Islam, can you be gay? What happens if it is discovered that you have a gay relationship? The answer is not pretty.
After you convert then you understand that it's wrong, so you don't stay in gay relationship, you could say I did have gay feelings in the past and that's about it.also the so called discovery is only possible if done in public and there needs to be 4 witnesses to confirm seeing the act same as adultery..etc the act itself is treated like any other type of crime...so educate yourself properly next time APUS.
Everyone stay calm. Allah does not punish desires. Being in the relationship is not allowed or having sex (acting upon it). It is similar to the ruling of a man and a woman being together but in that case it is only forbidden before marriage. I don’t want ppl to think I sound discriminating because that is not my intentions as I believe to respect everyone.
So what I just want to say without hating on you guys and without being muslim myself: as you said it, it sounds to me a bit like: "You can convert to Islam when you're part of the LGBTQIA+Community because your sins go away when you convert" . Now that confuses me because you said Islam doesn't discrimnate. Saying that being part of the LGBTQIA+ Community is a sin sounds pretty discriminating to me... Could you clarify this?
I can see how thats how it can come off tho by "your sins" they generally ment any sins you had and not being part of the LGBTQ+ community you cant change your sexuality so yk :>
To my knowledge, having thoughts and desires are not considered sins, because we have no contorl over them. Acting on those desires on the other hand could be considered as a sin.
@@1970Mom Basically yes, if you wish to follow the command. If you do sin, but then regret it and ask for forgiveness, Allah will forgive. (I'm not a muslim though, I'm just trying to educate myself so correct me if I'm wrong)
@@melindakurti8086 Yes you gave a good explanation! Basically it does not came only if you are from the Lgbtqia+ community. Even if you had sex with the opposite gender before marriage is forgiven. Every type of sin is forgiven when you convert (I'm a revert to Islam myself)

But I as a lesbian, couldn't have a girlfriend if I converted. So I'd have to pretend to be straight for the rest of my life and that's not something I could do. The idea of marrying a man is just uncomfortable. I'd have to give up my LGBT identity to convert, so in reality, I'm not welcome because I would have to put aside a large part of me. That's why people think it's discriminatory, because we can't control who we're attracted to, and asking us to put that aside feels very dehumanizing. And I see Christians doing this, where they say "Oh, we'll pray for you" I don't need your prayers, I'm not broken, I just like girls
I think, in Islam, you don’t have to pretend to be straight, but to follow Allah’s commands on marriage and sex outside of it. You don’t have to get married. Also, as Christians, we believe that all of us are broken. No one is righteous, not even one. But God, who formed us in the wombs and loved us intensely, wants to make us His new creations, full of His righteousness and free of guilt and condemnation. With that in mind, would you mind if I keep praying for you?
@@Slavaisusukhrystu I appreciate the thought, but I would rather you not pray for me, but for the millions of people around the world with more hardship than me, like the hungry or the people in wartorn countries
lgbt is a part of you in your opinion. But its not the whole you. You wont have to marry a man if you are not interested. And even if you are attracted to the same gender but don't act upon it, Its alright. in a nutshell, I suggest learn more about our Beautiful religion Islam. If you can come to love Allah and accept this world is temporary. Your opinions and values might change.
@@maishananjeeba7436 sorry, but it's not an opinion to me, just like Islam is not an opinion to you. Asking me to be otherwise would be like asking you to not be Muslim
technically even if you were straight you wouldn't be supposed to have a boyfriend as a convert since Islam (like Christianity I'm pretty sure) preaches abstinence until marriage. But today's youth doesn't care clearly
As a Muslim I have a few things I’ve always wondered , there has never been someone who “turned straight “ from being gay , there’s someone who claims Christianity saved her from being a lesbian but she says she’s not less interested in girls , she just doesn’t act on them , and with the lutt ppl they were destroyed because of many things like rape , having sexual intercorse in public , swapping wives and husbands , and a lot more not just because they allowed gay relationships , and there are some animals that are gay , so I’m wondering whether if there has been a misunderstanding all these years or not ? It’s just interesting
The Quran says to the people of lut ,,Indeed, you approach men with desire, instead of women. Rather, you are a transgressing people." Quran 7:81. This is clear proof that homosexuality is a sin and only transgressors act upon it. And before you come with the argument that the word "lust" could also be translated into "rарe" instead then translate it like that and read the aya again. Do you honestly think that only rарing men instead of women is haram but rарing women isn't? And Mohammad (saw) said that men who intimidate women and women who intimidate men are cursed. And in the Qur’an it says that the Man isn't like the Woman. So this also debunks the argument that a woman can be born into a man's body because a man and woman can't be the same and they are always separate. There is no doubt whatsoever that the LGBT is a major sin in islam and whoever practice it is a transgressor.
@@Ersenoy_Lomak it wasn’t only cuz they would allow homosexuality , there are A LOT of religious and research about this , in almost all religions , it was cuz the people of the lut would do A LOT of terrible acts , such as rape , child assault , public orgy .......you can look it up , cuz what I mean is , yes they did take in homosexual acts and that’s a sin I’m just saying that’s not the only terrible sin they committed they did to her horrible acts that’s why they were destroyed they did too many things not limited to homosexuality
@@Tarikkb it wasn't only but you agree that it was one of the reasons and whenever the Prophet (saw) talked about the acts the people of lut used to do, he would almost always refer to homosexuality. It is without any doubt a sin.
@@Ersenoy_Lomak because those men already had wives and they were still having intercourse with men…that’s cheating and that’s explicitly haram…he didn’t said this about the single men tho
Yes in Islam it's haram for gay people to be in a romantic/sexual relationship, but it's also haram for straight people if it's outside of marriage. And yet people don't hate much on unmarried straight couples, but tell gay ppl they can't be muslim or that they're going to hell.
@@sheezamomin4594 😂😂😂😂 Not support, but respect??? That's means don't support zeena, rape , but respect it?? A Muslim can't respect the disobey rules of ALLAH...

But after the member of the LGBTQ+ community converts, he/she can’t be with a person of the same sex. I am straight, but personally find this problematic since we can’t control our sexual orientation. (And this command doesn’t apply to just this religion)
Our whole life is a test and our test is to follow Allah's commands over our own desires. Even straight people aren't allowed to do anything before marriage. People part of the lgbtq could choose to just not marry or marry someone as just a friend.

@@TheMuslimPerspective they don't derive any happiness from sleeping w the opposite gender. tell me, assuming you are heterosexual, would you sleep with the same gender, if you had no other choice? or would you refrain from sleeping with anyone ever?
@@niaverma3546 We all are refraining. Dont be blind to real issues just because you think what you think. Its not just lgbtq people refraining, but in fact, all Muslims refrain. From alcohol, from po*n, from music, from gambling, from taking any percent of interest in loans, from illegal relations. Allah said in the Holy Quran, "I have created Jinns and Human beings only to worship me." What is worship? Worship is not just salah/namaj and Quran. Worshipping Allah is abiding by his laws and rules, listening to his guidance, doing what he says. After all, he is the ultimate god, and whatever he says he says only for our own good.
@@TheMuslimPerspective first, you didn't answer my question. second, if allah were real, his rules would've been much more digestible. no loving, merciful god would ever sentence his children to death, just for being gay, which allah made them, or for being an apostate, for using the brain allah gave them. how could allah, a loving merciful god allow for slaves to exist? or for children getting raped? he can't allow such things to happen. if he were real, his children wouldn't suffer like this. he isn't real. and that's why we suffer
as a revert this is what i believe, sexual desires outside marriage between a man and a woman are what the quraan calls “lusts,” and giving in to them is sin, this includes premarital s*x, extramarital s*x, giving in to impure s*xual thoughts and practicing homosexuality, societies, cultures and norms are continuously changing and evolving, but god and his word remain unchanged, what was immoral by god’s standards then has not become moral today just because the majority tolerates and accepts it, we are fortunate in this day and age that human rights and freedoms have been in focus, clamping down on oppression, abuse and injustice, every person has the right to choose their own faith, outlook on life and way of life, and that must be respected, however, if we want to live as believing muslims, god’s word cannot be ignored, the quraan gives us many promises, but also conditions, for a good and happy life, god is our creator, and it is only his will, as expressed in the quraan, that is unchanging and perfect in time and eternity, all people meet trials and difficulties in life, both in their physical circumstances and in their spiritual life, not living according to one’s innate homosexual orientation can require a huge sacrifice but god blesses those who live wholly for him, nobody who has truly given up everything to serve god will regret it, he only wants the best for us.
I'm a Muslim and I've seen all these comments...many Muslims say that we are not allowed to discriminate LGBTQ community members because Allah is the judge of all, not us humans, but they're also saying that it's a sin.... How is this any different than discriminating? Or judging? If you really believe that Allah is the judge of us all then let him do decide it on the day of judgement. If we LGBTQ members are sinners then it's between us and Allah.
It’s great that gay people CAN convert, but it seems like by not allowing people to marry whoever they love, Islam alienates many people who might otherwise embrace the religion. Why is love punishable, when it hurts no one and actually produces happiness and joy? Genuine question here, not rhetorical.
Because we live by His laws, not to please ourselves but to please Him. That's why sins are tempting since they give us joy. If sins aren't fun, everyone in this word are free of sins and there's no point in Him making Hell. He purposely makes you poor, makes you sick makes you feel attracted to same gender. You feel those ways because He allows you to. Simply because He wants to test your strength and patience in battling urges and desires, and testing whether you're qualified for His Heaven. To you it's love to Him it's something He put boundaries to, hence he'll punish you in Hell for crossing those boundaries. I have friends that feel attracted to the same gender, and I can't hate them for it since that's God's challenge for them. No one said you can't be gay in Heaven though ;) So yeah the world is temporary, but in heaven we can do anything we want and love however we want. Our goal should always be chasing eternal happiness instead of the temporary ones.

But that would require certain reform of this religion so it wouldn't be this archaic and could work in a 21st century ;) But sure, someone who was married to a six years old girl (and other 11 woman) is someone, who should be set as an example of a good moral :) That is waaay more acceptable than being a gay :)

But I don’t really believe them as a panromantic asexual bigender.
Im not a muslim myself, but speaking on everything i know - theres really no answer, because it depends on yourself. On how YOU see islam. However, there are also the rules. It just depends on how your inner self see on them and the Quran. It reminds me of muslims who listen to music, drink, curse, even things like zodiac sigjs (its astrologocy) and use makeup - theyre all still muslims, right? But that is up to them, and what they believe, because they might see things differently. Then there is people who believe that you should do whats best for Allah, because Allah knows best about you and whats good for you. Being gay isnt haram, but the s!xual activities is. Which means, you can limit yourself to be your best yourself because Allah is testing you. My point is, in the end, it is how you see it personally. You might believe (now I am not sure if you believe in Allah since it is just a question) "Allah created me this way, and i should not change it since it does no harm to others or myself (like tattoos plastic surgery for eg)" then that is up to you! Or if you think "Allah made me this way, it is a gift but my actions should still lead me to the right way becase God knows me best" then that is up to you! You have free will

I am a Christian and Bisexual and I respect muslims. I honestly don't care if someone is straight or not because your sexuality doesn't define you as a person. I have a lot of LGBTQ+ friends and I support the community.
I think this applies to just about any religion right? There are Christians who don't go to church or do all sorts of things that would be considered sinful. I have Muslim friends who eat pork and have sex before marriage, but they still believe in their religion and identify with that religion. Some people would say that they're "bad Christians" or "bad Muslims" but they're still Christians and Muslims right?
The thing we have to remember is that we have no right to call someone a “bad Muslim” “bad person” etc. That is a form or shirk (associating one with God) as you are judging when only Allah can judge so we have to be very careful.

Islam might allow a LGBTQ person to be muslim, just as God (in Christianity) says He loves everyone. But a big part of the people in the world who follow a believe do hate and discriminate on LGBTQ, telling them they can't be themselves.

In Islam we believe this life is a test for the hereafter. The feeling for being LGBT is a test. Even if men have feeling for a women before mariage also a test. If we commit sin, we can ask for repentance until we die. And in my opinion if someone wanna change their faith. It is because he/she found the truth in that religion not as a gateaway to do what they love to do or to hope the community accept what she/he doing. As example, if a men drink alchohol and choose to change his religion because other religion accept it, i believe it is a fault. Searching for a religion is not searching for what suit our desire but search for a true God and follow the guidance. If any of my word hurt you, i am sorry, i did not meant to.

@@hfizhaikal8186 Thank you very much for telling me this, it has cleared up my earlier opinions. I do understand now, though I still can say I don’t agree, I simply understand and respect it. As a Christian I personally see Muslims and Jews as one of the same. I truly admire your religion, and you for taking time to educate me, thank you 🙏🙏🙏
So if I'm gay and a trans man how would that work? I really do love a lot of things about Islam and I wouldn't mind converting but I don't think I could live a life as a woman without being extremely depressed, and I would like to get married someday but would it be different for me cause I'm not biologically a male
I personally do not agree with this at all, but in Islam you would still be seen as a woman. So if you were attracted to men I guess that would make you a ‘straight woman’. It’s a tricky one really, because for you to live a happy and comfortable life you would be sinning, which doesn’t make sense to me but anyway. If you’re interested in Islam but don’t want to commit to converting fully, I would say just try to follow muslim morals, so for example I think they donate 2.5% of their income to charity (don’t quote me on that I’m not too sure) which is really good to do obviously. That’s what I do with Christianity, I follow the parts that I agree with and ignore the homophobic parts that I don’t like. Some people might say you’re ‘cherry picking’ religion, but whatever works for you is totally fine. Good luck with whatever you decide to do :)
Live your truth at all times Your a man who loves men that's apart of you Detransitioning and being "straight" will never be worth following a belief system that sees us as sinful. We arnt sinful we arnt a crime or something wrong Don't just listen to what she is saying because there is alot she doesn't talk about research Islam yourself and listen to the storys of ex-muslims good to hear both sides I'm a lesbian myself with alot of LGBTQIA+ friends and personally nothing is worth not being happy and being truly yourself Sending hugs your way :)
Islam may say that being gay is not allowed but at the end of the day, no scholar or this TH-cam channel has the right to tell you you'regoing to hell. It is Allah's decision as to what your fate will be and no one elses
I really appreciate you guys doing your best to be inclusive. My god, I've been seeing some awful stuff in this comments section and its very depressing to see.
@@needtoknowbasis5147 you can. you just can't act upon it. so for instance if you're gay but never get married, it would not be considered haram or wrong
I’m non-binary and Muslim. At first, I was really confused because I experienced a lot of transphobia when I asked questions about LGBTQ Muslims, and I thought, “wow, I’ll never be welcomed as a queer muslim, I guess I have to chose one or the other”. I thought I would have to chose to either be/look like my birth gender and not seek gender affirming medicine to be Muslim, or that I could seek that gender affirming care, but never really be welcomed in the Muslim community, that I couldn’t do both at the same time since so many people told me being LGBTQ is haram. But that’s not true at all. I knew I was non-binary long before I converted to Islam and I’m still non-binary now. Allah guided me to Him knowing full well who I already was. My gender, my sexuality, is between me and Allah only. I still present and look very much like my birth gender, and I typically follow the etiquette/rules surrounding my birth gender, because that’s what’s most comfortable for me at the present moment, but I’m still non-binary. LGBTQ Muslims exist, our existence is not haram, and we are just as important as cis Muslims.
after you revert to islam, then you can be gay in heart but you can't do any physical intimacy with your gay friend or lesbian friend. It's absolutely forbidden in islam
I Love the acceptance. I just wish we would all come together, religion aside and realize that above all the true meaning of EVERYTHING is LOVE. Love God, Love yourself, Love your neighbor. As long as we do that... we can do no wrong.
I'm sorry for what happened. My parents were divorced when I was 4 and my stepfather pretended to be good but he beats my mother after they married and verbally abuses her. Now no verbal abuse but he cheats on her, my mom found out but he doesn't know. My real father doesn't pay enough for my needs like food and clothes as he should even if they divorced May Allah make it easy for us
the problem is that a lot of homophobic religious people only view queer relationships as sexual without realizing there’s a deeper bond between two people loving each other. it’s not just about sex. it’s about happiness and love.
Islam DOES NOT allow it, and will NEVER ALLOW it and those who do it will end up in HELL. Lying about Allah and going against him blatantly is blasphemy. Islam disassociates itself with such filth.
I will always disagree with acting on sexuality and gender identity being seen as wrong or a sin. However, I know you two respect us despite our differences. We have more to gain by being allies than enemies anyway! Because sadly people discriminate against both of us.
What you are leaving out is that Islam only recognizes marriage as a union between a man and a women. You also left out that the commands state that sex outside of marriages not allowed, therefore you could join but you would need to be celibate as a practicing Muslim.
I understand it to be the same as any religion.. I’m a gay Christian and there are many people (and denominations within Christianity) that have differences in opinion on this subject. “Welcoming but not affirming” means you can “believe” in whatever you want - but you are accountable to your choices. You can be LGBTQ, but acting upon it is between you and God. For me personally, I feel that God created us in his image.. this includes all walks of life. And more specifically as I’m Presbyterian- it is also a denomination in Christianity that accepts LGBTQ people. Do what you feel is right and what God would accept. 😊
Hello Mehdina!, I've been questioning this for a long time and I hope you can answer this since I really need the answer. Can a Muslim prefer/use "they/them" as their pronouns even they're Female? Thank you if you answer this!,
I have sort of been curious about this. If one goes by non-binary is that a sin bc I know “acting upon” (not the desires) transgender acts or homosexual relationships is haram, but can you be non-binary in Islam bc as a Muslim in the U.S I’ve met many non binary ppl who wanna know
I could be wrong, but as far as I understand, being trans is not a sin in Islam, altering your body is (elective plastic surgery, tattoos, etc). So being nonbinary would not be a sin. Culturally, there are Muslim folks that look down on it, but that does not make it a sin. I my coworker is trans and Muslim and this was thier take on it.
pronoun is a very cultural thing. lot of languages only have gender neutral pronouns. so this is very micro part of a big thing. which is why you prefer that certain pronoun. is it purely comfort? or is it part of your gender identity? is the gender identity a slippery slope towards physically transitioning? because unnecessary body modification is a sin. other than that just preferring a certain pronoun isnt anything bad. as pronoun awareness is growing this becomes of a common question so in my opinion its very much about asking what is the intention behind it. and if Allah would permit that knowing the Holy books and it's knowledge. if the answer is yes then go for it. also want to add that the thing is with scholars there is change of having prejudice towards neutral pronoun usage like most older gen does. also the connection of gender identity and pronoun makes them automatically dismiss it as part of probable sinful things. so its a question about asking yourself and understanding your inner intention.
“And of everything We have created pairs, that you may remember” -Qur’an 51:49 But when she delivered her, she said, “My Lord, I have delivered a female.” And Allah was most knowing of what she delivered, “And the male is not like the female. And I have named her Mary, and I seek refuge for her in You and [for] her descendants from Satan, the expelled [from the mercy of Allah].” -Qur’an 3:36 These two verses clearly answer the questions. There is only male and female and "identifying" beyond that is impermissible. A male is someone born with the male genitals and a female born with the female genitals. They are not the same.
This didn’t answer the question for me, I appreciate that you acknowledge the LGBTQ+ are born that way, but what I would like to know is, is it still a sin to act on those natural feelings?
Anyways no religion says these are not the major sins, still every sinner is still believer of that religion and can try stopping and repenting to god.
In Islam your feelings aren't held accountable. If you are muslim and you choose to be gay, openly or privately, that's your choice. And that relationship and that effects of that choice and outcomes are not for other muslims to guess or to even judge . That is only between the person and God. The Qur'an and sunnah clearly says it's a sin: yes the feelings are natural. We are not denying it. But as muslims we believe the earth is a test, and that having these kinds of desires is a kind of test : that you do not act upon them. But even if you do , other muslims have no right to judge you as that's god's job. However, the line is drawn when LGBTQ people announce this as the only right way and start to preach this as right and force people to accept it. That's where the Sharia says no. Hope this answered your question, and I apologise if I offended you , I wanted to be respectful but also quite clear on the point !
I'm not a muslim so its not my thing to speak on this subject but i assume there's a difference between the religion and the culture. The culture often tends to twist stuff and words. So some opressing rules are just made up
Gay people have always existed . Whilst in islam having intercourse with same gender if you’re a Muslim is a sin , you can still repent from it , if it was to ever occur, and Allah will forgive you if you’re sincere . Just like how you can repent from zina never forget Allah mercy. May this life be easy for you and all your wishes be granted in heaven. This world is temporary so never forget that. It is difficult but the more you struggle to stay away from this the more rewards you’ll be granted. And who knows the fact that you tried to stay away from this may just be what will grant you heaven. Allah sees your struggle and you doing what U can to please him will give you a big advantage
I didn't like how the tiptoed around the answer. It is very straight forward. Yes you can be gay and convert. Yes you can have homosexual temptation while being a Muslim. No you can not have a homosexual life style and be a Muslim. It is not a complicated answer and one should take pride in their religion.
I have seen many people in the comments talking about the prohibition of a person being gay and Muslim, but the truth is not like that... it's true that once you believe in the existence of allah and believe that the Prophet Muhammad, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, is the Messenger of God, you become a Muslim, but of course after that you must follow what came in Islam and what God commanded us to do, and we move away from what He warned us about. Among the things that God warned us about is homosexuality. It is not permissible for you to be from the gay community and you are a Muslim, because that is one of the taboos that will keep you away from entering Paradise in the Hereafter Which will ruin your life and the lives of those around you and of course God kept us away from such things for reasons and because he knows that there is no good in such things. ... I hope the idea is clear.
Salam, I hope you are doing well إن شاء اللّٰه. I’ve been typing comments in and all answering questions ppl had and I noticed a trend of “supporting lgbtq+” showing up. Could you explain what it means when we say we respect them because ppl find it discriminating that acting upon it is a sin and I feel like you guys could explain this properly. I want ppl to know that we love and respect them no matter what and that our version of support is the kindness we give them.
actually as a person of lgbt, I don't need support from you all if it is against your religion then it's okay I just want to survive not fight... but if you hate us and kill us just because it is a sin in your religion that's somehow ok for me but it hurts me too...(I'm a Hindu btw and this religion contain this as a small sin which can repent after taking bath)
Kindness is the literal BARE MINIMUM you could do for another living being. Supporting the LGBT community is actually believing that they deserve rights, fight for them with them, and lift their voices up. Being kind to people is expected, unless you go around being an a*sshole to people 😐
I loveeeeee youuuuu I am gay and Muslim and on top of that I am from and in the middle east. It feels like even if I never do anything wrong as long as I was born gay then I am automatically the worst humen being on earth when I live everybody and try my best to make everybody happy but that doesn't matter. Cuz am gay. Mean while u can get literally the worst humen being who literally done horrible acts and happy about it. Is somehow much better than me cuz am gay. When the religion gets so strong in an area then u will see more hypocrites. Or ppl who follow Islam mindlessly as if God didn't give them a brain to use.. I love how real and. What ever the oppisite of hypocrit.. U are cuz u really take Islam as its. And u don't add ur opinions to it which. Is so rare nowdays not gonna lie so ye. I love you queen and I wish u happiness always ❤️
don’t ever feel like your identity or the way you were born is “wrong.” you’re a human being too. you make mistakes and have feelings. you deserve more than to be viewed as nothing more than sinful and wrong. you deserve respect.
The whole point is that this dunya is temporary, and we work for the afterlife. So it’s okay to have thoughts concerning same sex attraction but acting upon your desires (like getting in a lgbtq relationship) is a sin. It’s hard, but think about your reward in the end. And when we say we respect LGBTQ people we mean that as human beings we treat them as well as any other straight person. We just don’t support (but doesn’t mean that we go around shouting at them or treating them terribly) their actions as its against our religion.
What you do is you supress those thoughts immediately. NEVER EVER act on it. dont even label yourself apart of LGBT! And dont support it at all as it is 10000% haram. And if you are still having those desires or evil intentions, say "Aaoothu billahi min Asshaytan Arrajim" Make lots of duaa for ease and for these thoughts to go away. and probably get married (a 100% halal marriage) (no same gender crp) so that way u can focus on ur spouse rather than those desires.
I think there is some confusion of requirements to convert vs. rules to follow. I used to think to be Muslim meant you had to wear hijab, not eat pork, pray 5 or however many times a day, etc. But after watching videos from you, NinjaMommy, and others, I’ve realized that you can be Muslim and still do all those things, it’s just discouraged and against teachings.
The 5 pillars of Islam gotta be followed. 1) 5 daily prayers, 2) fasting in Ramadan, 3) Shahada (believing in One God), 4) Zakat (Charity) 5) Pilgrimage to Mecca (Only if u can afford it). U gotta remember being Muslim isn't a label that is undefined. It is supported through action and belief. U cannot go around calling urself one when u do not practice any of it, that would be fake. Regarding ur points: U can't eat pork, u can wear hijab if u feel comfortable with it on (where I live u can get assaulted so I don't wear it yet), and praying 5 times a day r ur minimum mandatory prayers, cuz it is a literal pillar of Islam. It is a lifestyle not just a belief, both make a Muslim. U cannot negate things that don't suit u becuz ur lazy to put in the effort. The reason ppl convert and are Muslim is to believe in the concept of it as well as it in practice, otherwise why bother.
@@haketyu7891 I understand that, but I was saying if you do something against the teachings, that doesn’t mean you’re automatically not Muslim or not Muslim anymore. If you eat a piece of bacon or don’t pray one time one day, that’s not good, but you’re not kicked out for doing so. I’m obviously not a Muslim, I’m Christian. Murder is a sin, but if someone murders someone, they’re not automatically no longer Christian. That’s bad, they should seek forgiveness, and they really shouldn’t do it again, but it doesn’t kick them out of the faith. Christianity is made up of all sinners.
You can't identify as a muslim without following the basic rules. Okay if you believe in Allah and The Prophet Muhammad Peace be upon him. But you gotta follow what god says, otherwise why identify as a muslim, when you don't wanna follow the religion
@@steggiec no, I'm not saying that. I'm saying, you should believe in one thing if not doing it. You believe that it's part of Islamic to cover yourselves. But don't do it. That's okay. It's you're choice but you'll recieve you're sin for it. One thing is that you say it's not part of Islamic faith to cover yourselves, then that is denial. And if you deny something from the faith. You don't believe in it. So if you don't believe in the rules of a faith, ultimately you're out of it.
There's nothing wrong with being LGBTQ+, as someone who's part of the community I don't believe it's a sin(haram). How can it be a sin when it's natural to the human being and other species?? Thank u so much for making this video, people need to understand that Islam is for everybody (I'm not Muslim, but I love Islam)
Well, in Islam, we don't believe every natural instinct should be followed. Like, I'm a woman, and I sometimes have desires for other men. But I shouldn't go and sleep with someone or even do something less unless I marry someone. Same for men. It's very natural to want to have intimacy but Islam is a way of life, of controlling your desire and not them controlling you. Desires are a test before anything. Allah doesn't want us to live sad, that's why many if not most desires are okay to be fulfilled... But some are just prohibited and that's the way it is. Now, Allah knows we're humans. He knows we make mistake. I'm personally from the opinion that if someone is attracted to the same sex and doesn't go around saying it or sleep with them, it's completely okay. If they do some things in private, it's a big sin but we all sin. My problem is with LGBT Muslims who go around proudly saying they've sinned. I think they should stop. I have my own sins and I don't go around being proud of them.
You can have feelings for somebody your gender, but do not show it and keep it to yourself. You can’t control your feelings, but you CAN control yourself. Being lgbt+ is HARAM and FORBIDDEN, those who think not must learn more.
You can phrase it however you like. Islam, along with Christianity and Judaism are extremely homophobic religions. But I saw a very interesting video on the subject by scholar Dr. Shabir on the channel ‘Let the Quran speak’. He argues that the ummah should accept its LGBT members, even though they are in same sex relationships.
No I agree that everyone that smokes or drink alcohol can convert. I’ve always believe that anybody, any religion, any culture can convert/revert to Islam.
I think a few people are confused If you are gay for example in thoughts and feelings thats is fine it only becomes a sin once you act upon it if you are gay you can’t help that but you can help acting upon it
Yes, if you also believe that Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him is the final messenger and prophet. I was a Christian all my life and became a Muslim a few years ago
This video still doesn't clarify if you can act on your desires if you're part of the lgbtq community and muslim. If you can't, it's extremely discriminatory. It's like saying a husband and wife who love each other can't ever physically show their love. If you can but it's considered a sin and you gotta apologize, again, discriminatory.
Islam allows you to be (that is, to feel) lgbt, whatever you might be: homosexual, pansexual, trans... But you cannot act upon that or publicly identify as it. If you feel attraction towards your same sex, that is okay since you dont get sin for the things you cannot control, such as your dreams and your feelings, but you can never be in a relationship with someone of your same gender. If you are trans, it is okay to have disphoria and to feel the way you feel, but you CANT transition because that is such a huge sin in Islam, the type of sin that takes you straight to Jahannam (Hell), and you cannot publicly identify as trans, nor wear the opposite gender's clothes. You can absolutely revert to Islam if you are lgbt, and there is no sin for feeling in certain way, but you can't at all act upon your feelings or identify with them, because doing so would be an immense sin. And you cant support lgbt people either, because supporting them would be encouraging them to follow their impulses and commit sinful acts, so you would receive the same punishment as them
@@Maatkara1000 Yes, so it's essentially discriminatory but they're trying to dress it up as inclusive. It's forced celibacy for no fault of yours. Otherwise they're all like, men have uncontrollable desires so everybody has gotta wear hijab and practice modesty. But desires of lgbtq people aren't seen at the same level or given any thought.
salam alaykum, this is my take on this subject. i am not a scholar and my thoughts are in no way "final" or "justified" compared to the direct word of Allah swt, i am still learning and inshAllah I will be guided towards the right way of thinking if my opinions are faulty. having romantic feelings towards people of your same gender is not unnatural or made up, or else it would not be referenced in the Quran. it is very real and a normal feeling. it is not some kind of phase or disease to feel this way. however, it is an impure kind of love in most cases. what i've noticed is most gay relationships are driven by lust towards each other rather than by partnered connection between two souls that will bring you closer to Allah and make you realize His blessings every moment you're with the other person. being in a gay relationship (at least in today's age and culture) brings you away from your sense of spirituality and opens doors to other foul behavior. it was this way in the times mentioned in the Quran as well. Allah swt knows us more than we do. He is closer to us than our jugular vein (50:16) however wholesome and pure our relationship with another individual of the same sex we think is, Allah swt has told us that it will only bring you bad things in the end and lead you down a path you dont want. even if you think you feel happy right now, how will you feel on the Day of Judgement? is this relationship something that will benefit you even when your spouse is no longer with you on judgement day? when you are all alone under the spotlight of Allah swt? did they aid your personal developement? or did they just quench your worldy thirst? these are things you must think through before deciding if your relationship is halal or not (regardless of it being gay or not). in my opinion, nobody can tell a gay person that they are sinning or that they will go to hell. i think that a gay person has to build up their imaan first, by becoming a Muslim inshAllah and studying the religion. if they do this and if they really want an answer, Allah swt will hear the pain in your heart and help you understand why everything is. we are all His creation. no matter your past, He will always be there to help you. So if youre a gay person who's taken interest in Islam, I hope that you choose to learn about our beautiful religion and participate in our practices. believe in Allah the Almighty, and He will show you the answers and open your heart InshAllah. Good luck on your journey
I would agree with your statement but the part of gay people of being lustful is a stereotype that has harmed the community in the past. For example, during the 1980s USA, many religious groups tried to pin the AIDS crisis on gay people as they are inherently more lustful (in their own heads). However, it was actually straight people who spread it to each other with sex and other subtle ways such as blood transfusions or breastfeeding. If the case that the one of the things against the community is of lust, then it really isn’t ethical to reinforce a harmful stereotype that already has been wrongfully passed on to the community from previous history. We must also realize that the ones that we see necessarily doesn’t dictate about what a group of people is as a whole. For example, the description that all Muslims are Talibans is what the media has blown out of proportion and what many people seem to perceive, but in real life it couldn’t be further from the truth. In the same way, we shouldn’t repeat harmful stereotypes of any community.
Don't mix up. A muslim who involves in homossexuality is still a Muslim, as long as he knows that it is a sin in Islam. He should ask for forgiveness, but he is still a Muslim.
Soo You Can be Gay but after Conversion you can't right? right? I love you and your videos but This Video was dodging the main question Don't try to sugarcoat Like bro people in Syria are beheaded and if you wanna take a much "Advanced" country People in Saudi are Stoned to death if they are found Gay I mean throw it as it is you can't sugarcoat it trying not to offend the LGBTQIA community if they get to know the fun part they need to know what risks come with the conversion
I think that what matters is the afterlife, so no matter what is your desires, what matters is what you did for god, since he told us to worship him, so it doesn't matter to be gay if you believe in god and in what he said and do what he told you to do
Okay but. Correct me if I'm wrong. But if you're muslim you believe that being gay, or at the very least "acting on gay feelings" is wrong. That is inherently discriminatory. Speaking from my own experience as a gay person, I would not be happy if every time I felt attraction to men I had to say to myself, "Can't act on that, it's not allowed." It's suppressing a very large part of myself that I cannot change or control. It would mean I don't have the basic right to love someone in the way that straight people can and do all the time. And I'm not trying to say Islam is the only religion that does this. If you think about homophobia, often times the stereotype is very religious christian parents telling their gay child they're not allowed to be in a happy loving relationship. But obviously, not all religious people are homophobic. This might be a bit of a weird question, and I am trying to ask this as respectfully as I can, but is it common for muslims to, for lack of a better term, ignore parts of the Quran in the same way that christians don't follow the bible exactly? Like, more following the general idea of being charitable, kind, modest, etc rather than following every single command word for word? I know you guys can't speak for all muslims, but I'm trying to get some sort of sense of like, the average, if that makes any sense at all.
Yeah, generally speaking that is the case, though it doesn't make it right. For example, in my country, the majority of the population is Muslim. However, most people you meet on the streets do not wear a hijab or niqab, even though in Islam it's mandatory. Most people also have sex before marriage and drink alcohol as well (again, all of which are basically sinful) Most of it boils down to people being people, as in they're not perfect (none of us are) and just choosing to ignore certain things Islam prescribes out of inconvenience. The point of Islam really is, if you genuinely believe that God is one, that He sent out multiple prophets to guide people, that there is an afterlife, etc. and if you truly see this to be true, with that you understand that everything in this life is temporary as well as a test (for some it's extreme poverty, for others it's disabilities, perhaps famine, war, death etc.) and the harder and more difficult the hardship, the greater the reward basically. But to answer your question, yeah, there are a lot of muslims that don't really follow Islam word for word, the only difference being is that, with Islam, people don't get to say something is allowed when it isn't, considering that for over 1400 years not a single word from the Quran has been altered, so that which is clearly forbidden stays forbidden, whether people agree with it or not. Hope I answered your question at least somewhat! :)
No layman can interpret the Holy Quran. Who do we get interpretations of the Quran? From the scholars who then get it from the companions of Islam. You are in no position to make any interpretation of the Quran. And on top of that, Allah destroyed the people of Lut. And in an Authentic Hadith, the Prophet ﷺ warned against this action. So will you follow these liberals? Or will you follow Allah and his Messenger ﷺ.
Yeah you can, you would just be winning in the eyes of Islam. You won’t physically be stopped (well hopefully not anyway, imagine that would be horrendous!) but it would be seen as a sin, just like eating pork. I personally do not agree with this opinion btw, I think same sex relationships are 100% okay and shouldn’t be viewed this way, this is just what Islam says.
openly means? going around and telling Muslims that? then No, that means spreading corruption. But your feelings are your feelings it's until you act upon them, same thing goes for any other major sins, until you act then they won't be counted but if you refrain from going forward you'll be rewarded.
I’m trans and pan and also Muslim also I’m a convert I love Allah but I just realised that I was non-binary and pan so do I still have sins but I have been questioning my gender before I became Muslim so I don’t know if my sins stay
Islam allows you to be (that is, to feel) lgbt, whatever you might be: homosexual, pansexual, trans... But you cannot act upon that or publicly identify as it. If you feel attraction towards your same sex, that is okay since you dont get sin for the things you cannot control, such as your dreams and your feelings, but you can never be in a relationship with someone of your same gender. If you are trans, it is okay to have disphoria and to feel the way you feel, but you CANT transition because that is such a huge sin in Islam, the type of sin that takes you straight to Jahannam (Hell), and you cannot publicly identify as trans, nor wear the opposite gender's clothes. You can absolutely revert to Islam if you are lgbt, and there is no sin for feeling in certain way, but you can't at all act upon your feelings or identify with them, because doing so would be an immense sin. And you cant support lgbt people either, because supporting them would be encouraging them to follow their impulses and commit sinful acts, so you would receive the same punishment as them
So is this saying that I can only convert to Islam but ONLY if I can revert my sexuality and become a heterosexual once I fully convert to Islam ? Basically what I feel you are saying here is anyone can CONVERT to Islam no matter what but I’m still basically NOT going to be apart of the entire Islamic community unless I follow “a set standard of rules” and only sleep or bare children from a female , correct ? Because I absolutely feel that is what you were saying here and I just want to be clear as I love you all , your content and your channel
No, you can convert to Islam with any sin. But I'd assume if you convert to Islam, you believe in paradise and God and judgment day. If you do, you believe God gave rulings and will judge if you followed them and allow you into paradise. If you do, you'll want to follow the rules to obtain that. Hope this helps.
1 corinthians 15:1-4 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day accord ing to the scriptures
Islam is the only non-Christian faith, which makes it an article of faith to believe in Jesus (pbuh). No Muslim is a Muslim if he does not believe in Jesus (pbuh). We believe that he was one of the mightiest Messengers of Allah (swt). We believe that he was born miraculously, without any male intervention, which many modern day Christians do not believe. We believe he was the Messiah translated Christ (pbuh). We believe that he gave life to the dead with God’s permission. We believe that he healed those born blind, and the lepers with God’s permission.
It was narrated from Ibn`Abbas that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Whoever you find doing the action of the people of Lut, kill the one who does it, and the one to whom it is done.” One of my problems with islam.
The three major Abrahamic religions are against homosexuality. The bible:Moses in the Hebrew Bible referred to the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah in Deuteronomy 29:22-23: “Your children who follow you in later generations and foreigners who come from distant lands will see the calamities that have fallen on the land and the diseases with which the lord has afflicted it. The whole land will be a burning waste of salt and sulfur-nothing planted, nothing sprouting, no vegetation growing on it. It will be like the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboyim, which the Lord overthrew in fierce anger.”
The punishment of lgbtq is only death... From Abu Musa al-Ash'ari, the Prophet states that: "If a woman comes upon a woman, they are both adulteresses, if a man comes upon a man, then they are both adulterers." - Al-Tabarani in al-Mu‘jam al-Awat: 4157, Al-Bayhaqi, Su‘ab al-Iman: 5075.... Narrated by Abdullah ibn Abbas: "The Prophet said: 'If you find anyone doing as Lut's people did, kill the one who does it, and the one to whom it is done'." - Sunan Abu Dawood 4462, Jamiʽ al-Tirmidhi 1456, Sunan ibn Majah 2561 It was narrated that Ibn Abbas said: "The Prophet said: '... cursed is the one who does the action of the people of Lut'." - Musnad Ahmad:1878
*Allah says* (interpretation of the meaning): “And (remember) Lut (Lot), *when he said to his people* : *Do you commit the worst sin such as none* *preceding you has committed in the Alamin* (mankind and jinn)? Verily, you practice your lusts on men instead of women. Nay, but you are a people transgressing beyond *bounds* (by committing great sins)’” [al-A'raf 7:80-81]
Everyone is welcomed in this beautiful religion islam...this religion helps us people to lead a healthy lifestyle which not only benifits us as a human being, but also the environment where we are growing ....
they made sure to say: yes you CAN be gay BEFORE converting
and in no clear terms said: you CANT be gay AFTER converting
There is a difference between being attracted to the same sex and having homosexual intercourse. It’s not about denying love. It’s about denying sodomy and the possible health risks involved. Because Islam is about prevention before cure. Nobody is compelled to join the faith if they don’t like that. One love, everyone’s free. Cheers!
This is the quran's stance on the act of homosexuality:
(And [We had sent] Lot when he said to his people, "Do you commit such immorality as no one has preceded you with from among the worlds?) 7:80
(Indeed, you approach men with desire, instead of women. Rather, you are a transgressing people.") 7:81
this is what they should have said, very true.they didn't make it clear whether homosexuality is allowed in Islam. if someone is learning about Islam before reverting from your channel, they wouldn't be clear.
@@phdstudentindistress there are no health risks in performing homosexual intercourse, there are health risks tho, in unprotected sex between any two genders

But you couldn’t continue to be ‘actively’ gay if you also choose to be ‘actively’ Muslim, so it’s a bit misleading to say Islam welcomes LGBTQ+ people. You’d only be welcome if you stop being LGBTQ+. It’s the same for *some major religions though, not just Islam!
*edited to reflect its not all major religions as previously stated
Literally. Thats what they fail to say in all their lqbtq+ community videos.
I'm muslim, and I'm a "part" of LGBTQ+ community since I'm bisexual but I'm not actively bisexual. I've accepted the fact that I'm attracted to same gender but I no intentions of having any relationship with the same gender. I hoped they would specify this but oh well.
@@nyx6407 To me it feels like such a shame to deny such an intrinsic, essential and beautiful part of yourself to follow your faith, but I fully respect the decision you have made. It just makes me wonder why God would give you such a challenge.

You can, nothing is physically stopping you from being gay, but how you decide to coordinate both being Muslim and LGBTQ+ is between you and Allah, and no one else. By the way, I'm not Muslim, I'm Sapphic Demigirl.
@@gamerofedge8111 Good point but the Quran specifies acting on homosexual activity is a sin, so I think it would be fair to say that generally speaking it’s frowned upon in Islam. But of course it’s ultimately between the person and Allah as a Muslim and if the person can confidently feel Muslim and gay.
@@koolforkatss9155 Of course, but is being gay the worst sin ever? No, it’s not, in the end no one should ever be shamed for who the are regardless of religion and in the end it’s between a person and whatever higher power(s) they believe in.
but you didnt clarify the main point, the whole point is whether An lgbtq person , say a gay person can convert to islam,and still be a gay and have sexual intimacy with same sex partner, and even marry the partner and live like a heterosexual couple without it being considered bad or sin?
i mean u missed the whole point,
It will be considered a sin if they have sex, having feelings is not something you can control, but you can control your actions. But even if they do have sex theyre still Muslim, although they are sinning. And you cant say that they are a good or bad Muslim for it. Its haraam to judge others or pry into their personal lives.
@@maryamkidwai2543 so isnt that discriminating? like u accept sex between a heterosexual couole but same between a homosexual couple is a sin...........
so that means u cant act like lgbtq after converting to islam
@@yashraghav1700 yeah basically that. its accepted as long you dont actually act on any of the urges.
@@maryamkidwai2543 but the point is it's not a sin
@@maeeshalt In Islam, this isn’t ‘accepted’ in the way that we shouldn’t be happy or content with these thoughts.
we’re supposed to seek refuge in Allah and fight the thoughts. we should fight the waswasa from the shaytan. If someone willingly keeps these thoughts in their head, they turn into ideas and eventually into desires and then most likely into the act. we Muslims have a responsibility to seek knowledge and to try to better ourselves.
If you have thoughts to do zina, which is a sin, will you keep them inside your head or try to get rid of them? the same answer is for having thoughts about homosexuality, hopefully your answer was getting rid of them.
Okay. Here is the problem: After converting to Islam, can you be gay? What happens if it is discovered that you have a gay relationship? The answer is not pretty.
After you convert then you understand that it's wrong, so you don't stay in gay relationship, you could say I did have gay feelings in the past and that's about it.also the so called discovery is only possible if done in public and there needs to be 4 witnesses to confirm seeing the act same as adultery..etc the act itself is treated like any other type of crime...so educate yourself properly next time APUS.
Get out islamophobia propaganda !
@@z_tiger311 // 😳 being gay is NOT WRONG!!
@@bubbles9975 the relationship is.
Everyone stay calm. Allah does not punish desires. Being in the relationship is not allowed or having sex (acting upon it). It is similar to the ruling of a man and a woman being together but in that case it is only forbidden before marriage. I don’t want ppl to think I sound discriminating because that is not my intentions as I believe to respect everyone.
So what I just want to say without hating on you guys and without being muslim myself: as you said it, it sounds to me a bit like: "You can convert to Islam when you're part of the LGBTQIA+Community because your sins go away when you convert" . Now that confuses me because you said Islam doesn't discrimnate. Saying that being part of the LGBTQIA+ Community is a sin sounds pretty discriminating to me... Could you clarify this?
I can see how thats how it can come off tho by "your sins" they generally ment any sins you had and not being part of the LGBTQ+ community you cant change your sexuality so yk :>
To my knowledge, having thoughts and desires are not considered sins, because we have no contorl over them. Acting on those desires on the other hand could be considered as a sin.
@@1970Mom Basically yes, if you wish to follow the command. If you do sin, but then regret it and ask for forgiveness, Allah will forgive. (I'm not a muslim though, I'm just trying to educate myself so correct me if I'm wrong)

@@1970Mom Yes. This comes with the fact that we believe we have to submit to the will of God even if we have to sacrifice some of our desires.

But I as a lesbian, couldn't have a girlfriend if I converted. So I'd have to pretend to be straight for the rest of my life and that's not something I could do. The idea of marrying a man is just uncomfortable. I'd have to give up my LGBT identity to convert, so in reality, I'm not welcome because I would have to put aside a large part of me. That's why people think it's discriminatory, because we can't control who we're attracted to, and asking us to put that aside feels very dehumanizing. And I see Christians doing this, where they say "Oh, we'll pray for you" I don't need your prayers, I'm not broken, I just like girls
I think, in Islam, you don’t have to pretend to be straight, but to follow Allah’s commands on marriage and sex outside of it. You don’t have to get married. Also, as Christians, we believe that all of us are broken. No one is righteous, not even one. But God, who formed us in the wombs and loved us intensely, wants to make us His new creations, full of His righteousness and free of guilt and condemnation. With that in mind, would you mind if I keep praying for you?
@@Slavaisusukhrystu I appreciate the thought, but I would rather you not pray for me, but for the millions of people around the world with more hardship than me, like the hungry or the people in wartorn countries
lgbt is a part of you in your opinion. But its not the whole you. You wont have to marry a man if you are not interested. And even if you are attracted to the same gender but don't act upon it, Its alright. in a nutshell, I suggest learn more about our Beautiful religion Islam. If you can come to love Allah and accept this world is temporary. Your opinions and values might change.
@@maishananjeeba7436 sorry, but it's not an opinion to me, just like Islam is not an opinion to you. Asking me to be otherwise would be like asking you to not be Muslim
technically even if you were straight you wouldn't be supposed to have a boyfriend as a convert since Islam (like Christianity I'm pretty sure) preaches abstinence until marriage. But today's youth doesn't care clearly
Even if Islam is not the place some people want to be, I'm glad everyone has the choice.
For them its either convert or die

BEAUTIFUL color coordination and beautiful statements. My husband and I truly enjoy listening to you with our children
As a Muslim I have a few things I’ve always wondered , there has never been someone who “turned straight “ from being gay , there’s someone who claims Christianity saved her from being a lesbian but she says she’s not less interested in girls , she just doesn’t act on them , and with the lutt ppl they were destroyed because of many things like rape , having sexual intercorse in public , swapping wives and husbands , and a lot more not just because they allowed gay relationships , and there are some animals that are gay , so I’m wondering whether if there has been a misunderstanding all these years or not ? It’s just interesting
The Quran says to the people of lut ,,Indeed, you approach men with desire, instead of women. Rather, you are a transgressing people." Quran 7:81. This is clear proof that homosexuality is a sin and only transgressors act upon it. And before you come with the argument that the word "lust" could also be translated into "rарe" instead then translate it like that and read the aya again. Do you honestly think that only rарing men instead of women is haram but rарing women isn't? And Mohammad (saw) said that men who intimidate women and women who intimidate men are cursed. And in the Qur’an it says that the Man isn't like the Woman. So this also debunks the argument that a woman can be born into a man's body because a man and woman can't be the same and they are always separate. There is no doubt whatsoever that the LGBT is a major sin in islam and whoever practice it is a transgressor.
@@Ersenoy_Lomak it wasn’t only cuz they would allow homosexuality , there are A LOT of religious and research about this , in almost all religions , it was cuz the people of the lut would do A LOT of terrible acts , such as rape , child assault , public orgy .......you can look it up , cuz what I mean is , yes they did take in homosexual acts and that’s a sin I’m just saying that’s not the only terrible sin they committed they did to her horrible acts that’s why they were destroyed they did too many things not limited to homosexuality
@@Tarikkb it wasn't only but you agree that it was one of the reasons and whenever the Prophet (saw) talked about the acts the people of lut used to do, he would almost always refer to homosexuality. It is without any doubt a sin.
@@Ersenoy_Lomak where did he always homosexuality? Did you have the exact lines from the Quran?
@@Ersenoy_Lomak because those men already had wives and they were still having intercourse with men…that’s cheating and that’s explicitly haram…he didn’t said this about the single men tho
Yes in Islam it's haram for gay people to be in a romantic/sexual relationship, but it's also haram for straight people if it's outside of marriage. And yet people don't hate much on unmarried straight couples, but tell gay ppl they can't be muslim or that they're going to hell.

lmaoo. they conveniently left out that once a person is Muslim, they aren't allowed to engage in homosexuality. they are basically forced to practice celibacy their entire life.
@@niaverma3546 I dont think sleeping with same gender is "not being celibate" at all. Not being celibate means sleeping with opposite genders.

Allah said in the Holy Quran, "I have created Jinns and Human beings only to worship me."
What is worship? Worship is not just salah/namaj and Quran. Worshipping Allah is abiding by his laws and rules, listening to his guidance, doing what he says. After all, he is the ultimate god, and whatever he says he says only for our own good.
@@TheMuslimPerspective first, you didn't answer my question.
second, if allah were real, his rules would've been much more digestible. no loving, merciful god would ever sentence his children to death, just for being gay, which allah made them, or for being an apostate, for using the brain allah gave them. how could allah, a loving merciful god allow for slaves to exist? or for children getting raped? he can't allow such things to happen. if he were real, his children wouldn't suffer like this. he isn't real. and that's why we suffer
as a revert this is what i believe, sexual desires outside marriage between a man and a woman are what the quraan calls “lusts,” and giving in to them is sin, this includes premarital s*x, extramarital s*x, giving in to impure s*xual thoughts and practicing homosexuality, societies, cultures and norms are continuously changing and evolving, but god and his word remain unchanged, what was immoral by god’s standards then has not become moral today just because the majority tolerates and accepts it, we are fortunate in this day and age that human rights and freedoms have been in focus, clamping down on oppression, abuse and injustice, every person has the right to choose their own faith, outlook on life and way of life, and that must be respected, however, if we want to live as believing muslims, god’s word cannot be ignored, the quraan gives us many promises, but also conditions, for a good and happy life, god is our creator, and it is only his will, as expressed in the quraan, that is unchanging and perfect in time and eternity, all people meet trials and difficulties in life, both in their physical circumstances and in their spiritual life, not living according to one’s innate homosexual orientation can require a huge sacrifice but god blesses those who live wholly for him, nobody who has truly given up everything to serve god will regret it, he only wants the best for us.
very well said 👏
I'm a Muslim and I've seen all these comments...many Muslims say that we are not allowed to discriminate LGBTQ community members because Allah is the judge of all, not us humans, but they're also saying that it's a sin.... How is this any different than discriminating? Or judging? If you really believe that Allah is the judge of us all then let him do decide it on the day of judgement. If we LGBTQ members are sinners then it's between us and Allah.
Both locking amazing masha allah. Good work guys. May Allah guide us all.
It’s great that gay people CAN convert, but it seems like by not allowing people to marry whoever they love, Islam alienates many people who might otherwise embrace the religion. Why is love punishable, when it hurts no one and actually produces happiness and joy? Genuine question here, not rhetorical.
Because we live by His laws, not to please ourselves but to please Him. That's why sins are tempting since they give us joy. If sins aren't fun, everyone in this word are free of sins and there's no point in Him making Hell. He purposely makes you poor, makes you sick makes you feel attracted to same gender. You feel those ways because He allows you to. Simply because He wants to test your strength and patience in battling urges and desires, and testing whether you're qualified for His Heaven. To you it's love to Him it's something He put boundaries to, hence he'll punish you in Hell for crossing those boundaries. I have friends that feel attracted to the same gender, and I can't hate them for it since that's God's challenge for them. No one said you can't be gay in Heaven though ;) So yeah the world is temporary, but in heaven we can do anything we want and love however we want. Our goal should always be chasing eternal happiness instead of the temporary ones.

You can feel attracted to the same gender eventhough you're muslim. But acting upon it is a sin. Despite that, if you choose to do it, it's between you and Allah
You can feel attracted to the same sex but it's acting upon those feelings is prohibited and thus you're ending in front of a choice between both...

I’ve been asking myself for years, “ Is it ok to be born Islam but also apart of the LGBTQ+ community?” I still do not have the answer.
See here I'm still asking. My Islamic studies teacher said basically "yeah but just don't ever be in a relationship" which sucks... like it's suffer or die in some circles and we can't do much about it but make a safer environment for our kids in the future
@@theearthisnotflat4398 Actual facts. I don’t have the confidence to ask my islamic studies teacher about that. According to some Gacha Muslim content thing that isn’t always the right source to process cause some might be fake, we can’t even support LGBTQ+ community. But I don’t really believe them as a panromantic asexual bigender.
Im not a muslim myself, but speaking on everything i know - theres really no answer, because it depends on yourself. On how YOU see islam. However, there are also the rules. It just depends on how your inner self see on them and the Quran. It reminds me of muslims who listen to music, drink, curse, even things like zodiac sigjs (its astrologocy) and use makeup - theyre all still muslims, right? But that is up to them, and what they believe, because they might see things differently.
Then there is people who believe that you should do whats best for Allah, because Allah knows best about you and whats good for you. Being gay isnt haram, but the s!xual activities is. Which means, you can limit yourself to be your best yourself because Allah is testing you.
My point is, in the end, it is how you see it personally. You might believe (now I am not sure if you believe in Allah since it is just a question) "Allah created me this way, and i should not change it since it does no harm to others or myself (like tattoos plastic surgery for eg)" then that is up to you! Or if you think "Allah made me this way, it is a gift but my actions should still lead me to the right way becase God knows me best" then that is up to you! You have free will
when you are muslim you are NOT allowed to be part of the lgbtq+ because it is a sin but if a muslim person sees a person who is part of lgbtq+ you are NOT allowed to say something bad or discriminate them because allah is the one to judge, not humans
It's ok since it's not something you can change, but you can't be in a gay relationship

they're is many lgbt members in the muslim country pakistan they're all welcoming and treat you with respect, i went for a holiday and met a really nice trans guy...
Mate I don't mean no hate here

So the truth is in islam being gay is completely haram
You can see what happened to the people Lut (AS) they were feeling attracted to the same gender and their punishment was unbelievable

I am a Christian and Bisexual and I respect muslims. I honestly don't care if someone is straight or not because your sexuality doesn't define you as a person. I have a lot of LGBTQ+ friends and I support the community.
I think this applies to just about any religion right? There are Christians who don't go to church or do all sorts of things that would be considered sinful. I have Muslim friends who eat pork and have sex before marriage, but they still believe in their religion and identify with that religion. Some people would say that they're "bad Christians" or "bad Muslims" but they're still Christians and Muslims right?
The thing we have to remember is that we have no right to call someone a “bad Muslim” “bad person” etc. That is a form or shirk (associating one with God) as you are judging when only Allah can judge so we have to be very careful.
Absolutely right
Just don't judge anyone
@@abbysh6652 yep exactly! I feel that everyone’s relationship with their God is personal and we shouldn’t judge them, and we should still welcome them with open arms ☺️
Exactly
Islam might allow a LGBTQ person to be muslim, just as God (in Christianity) says He loves everyone. But a big part of the people in the world who follow a believe do hate and discriminate on LGBTQ, telling them they can't be themselves. These people are not be Allah or God themselves, but they are the representatives of the believe. And therefore it makes me (a trans and gay person) stay far away from believes, even though I really like the Islam.
I think that you should ignore people,and just convert to Islam, because only god knows the answer, and he is gonna guide you if what you're doing is wrong
So you’re saying you can be gay and convert to Islam, but once you’re a Muslim, you have to follow certain rules, meaning you can’t be gay anymore?
I mean you can't choose not to be gay, it's never a choice so you can be gay you just don't act on those feelings
You can't change your sexuality.. we will be making a video on this topic specifically as well.
after you revert to islam, then you can be gay in heart but you can't do any physical intimacy with your gay friend or lesbian friend. It's absolutely forbidden in islam
@@rayhanuddin3931 yeah. It's their test in life. Just like some people were born without a home and died homeless. Like some men/women who have their spouse cheating on them. Like being born disabled.

As a member of LGBTQ+ community and someone who wants to completely convert to Islam I really appreciate this message. I live in Poland where 99,99% pf population is roman Catholic.

So I could convert to Islam, but I’d have to leave my wife of 10 years?
Sodom and Gomorrah, notoriously sinful cities in the biblical book of Genesis, destroyed by “sulfur and fire” because of their wickedness (Genesis 19:24). Sodom and Gomorrah along with the cities of Admah, Zeboiim, and Zoar (Bela) constituted the five “cities of the plain,” and they are referenced throughout both the Old and New Testament and the Qurʾān.
Yes.
DAMN i hate that
of course
Yes, but remember that extremely difficult trial is only in this dunya (world). Enter Jannah (heaven) , and you can love whomever you desire!
So I understand what your saying but I still feel as if this is incredibly wrong. So it is a sin to act on this but you can be gay at heart…I feel this response doesn’t do the Muslim community justice. If I was gay, knowing this, I would NOT convert. Btw this is in NO way hate just my genuine feelings on this topic.
In Islam we believe this life is a test for the hereafter. The feeling for being LGBT is a test. Even if men have feeling for a women before mariage also a test. If we commit sin, we can ask for repentance until we die.
And in my opinion if someone wanna change their faith. It is because he/she found the truth in that religion not as a gateaway to do what they love to do or to hope the community accept what she/he doing. As example, if a men drink alchohol and choose to change his religion because other religion accept it, i believe it is a fault. Searching for a religion is not searching for what suit our desire but search for a true God and follow the guidance.
If any of my word hurt you, i am sorry, i did not meant to. My english is not that good🙏🏻 .
Btw any muslim correct me if iam wrong.
@@hfizhaikal8186 you are absolutely correct! But not only is how we act a test for us but also how we "react" to others. We are supposed to be peaceful with nonbelievers at all times, unless they are "physically" doing us harm. But you will always see muslims arguing with believers and nonbelievers because this is just human nature in general. The religion is perfect, the people are not.
In Islam even heterosex without marriage is sin. Those men women without marriage doing sex r also sinful. But we still don't discriminate.
@@hfizhaikal8186 Thank you very much for telling me this, it has cleared up my earlier opinions. I do understand now, though I still can say I don’t agree, I simply understand and respect it. As a Christian I personally see Muslims and Jews as one of the same. I truly admire your religion, and you for taking time to educate me, thank you 🙏🙏🙏
@@HomeWarrantyReports No problem Robert, me as a Muslim in fact still learning and try to educated myself on this religion. ❤
So if I'm gay and a trans man how would that work? I really do love a lot of things about Islam and I wouldn't mind converting but I don't think I could live a life as a woman without being extremely depressed, and I would like to get married someday but would it be different for me cause I'm not biologically a male
I personally do not agree with this at all, but in Islam you would still be seen as a woman. So if you were attracted to men I guess that would make you a ‘straight woman’. It’s a tricky one really, because for you to live a happy and comfortable life you would be sinning, which doesn’t make sense to me but anyway. If you’re interested in Islam but don’t want to commit to converting fully, I would say just try to follow muslim morals, so for example I think they donate 2.5% of their income to charity (don’t quote me on that I’m not too sure) which is really good to do obviously. That’s what I do with Christianity, I follow the parts that I agree with and ignore the homophobic parts that I don’t like. Some people might say you’re ‘cherry picking’ religion, but whatever works for you is totally fine. Good luck with whatever you decide to do :)
Live your truth at all times
Your a man who loves men that's apart of you
Detransitioning and being "straight" will never be worth following a belief system that sees us as sinful.

I’m non-binary and Muslim. At first, I was really confused because I experienced a lot of transphobia when I asked questions about LGBTQ Muslims, and I thought, “wow, I’ll never be welcomed as a queer muslim, I guess I have to chose one or the other”. I thought I would have to chose to either be/look like my birth gender and not seek gender affirming medicine to be Muslim, or that I could seek that gender affirming care, but never really be welcomed in the Muslim community, that I couldn’t do both at the same time since so many people told me being LGBTQ is haram. But that’s not true at all. I knew I was non-binary long before I converted to Islam and I’m still non-binary now. Allah guided me to Him knowing full well who I already was. My gender, my sexuality, is between me and Allah only. I still present and look very much like my birth gender, and I typically follow the etiquette/rules surrounding my birth gender, because that’s what’s most comfortable for me at the present moment, but I’m still non-binary. LGBTQ Muslims exist, our existence is not haram, and we are just as important as cis Muslims.
exact same! i’m a bi non-binary hijabi, no matter what people say or try to discourage me from being myself, that is between me and Allah only.
I’m sure that Allah will guide you to the right way 🙂

I will always disagree with acting on sexuality and gender identity being seen as wrong or a sin. However, I know you two respect us despite our differences. We have more to gain by being allies than enemies anyway! Because sadly people discriminate against both of us.
❤️
What you are leaving out is that Islam only recognizes marriage as a union between a man and a women. You also left out that the commands state that sex outside of marriages not allowed, therefore you could join but you would need to be celibate as a practicing Muslim.
Yes exactly.
Thank you guys so much. BarakAllahu feekum!
I understand it to be the same as any religion.. I’m a gay Christian and there are many people (and denominations within Christianity) that have differences in opinion on this subject. “Welcoming but not affirming” means you can “believe” in whatever you want - but you are accountable to your choices. You can be LGBTQ, but acting upon it is between you and God.
For me personally, I feel that God created us in his image.. this includes all walks of life. And more specifically as I’m Presbyterian- it is also a denomination in Christianity that accepts LGBTQ people. Do what you feel is right and what God would accept. 😊
No discrimination???? You are joking right.
Hello Mehdina!, I've been questioning this for a long time and I hope you can answer this since I really need the answer. Can a Muslim prefer/use "they/them" as their pronouns even they're Female? Thank you if you answer this!,
I have sort of been curious about this. If one goes by non-binary is that a sin bc I know “acting upon” (not the desires) transgender acts or homosexual relationships is haram, but can you be non-binary in Islam bc as a Muslim in the U.S I’ve met many non binary ppl who wanna know
I could be wrong, but as far as I understand, being trans is not a sin in Islam, altering your body is (elective plastic surgery, tattoos, etc). So being nonbinary would not be a sin. Culturally, there are Muslim folks that look down on it, but that does not make it a sin. I my coworker is trans and Muslim and this was thier take on it.
pronoun is a very cultural thing. lot of languages only have gender neutral pronouns. so this is very micro part of a big thing. which is why you prefer that certain pronoun. is it purely comfort? or is it part of your gender identity? is the gender identity a slippery slope towards physically transitioning? because unnecessary body modification is a sin. other than that just preferring a certain pronoun isnt anything bad. as pronoun awareness is growing this becomes of a common question so in my opinion its very much about asking what is the intention behind it. and if Allah would permit that knowing the Holy books and it's knowledge. if the answer is yes then go for it.
also want to add that the thing is with scholars there is change of having prejudice towards neutral pronoun usage like most older gen does. also the connection of gender identity and pronoun makes them automatically dismiss it as part of probable sinful things. so its a question about asking yourself and understanding your inner intention.
pronouns are a cultural aspect. they are not connected to religion at all.
“And of everything We have created pairs, that you may remember”
-Qur’an 51:49
But when she delivered her, she said, “My Lord, I have delivered a female.” And Allah was most knowing of what she delivered, “And the male is not like the female. And I have named her Mary, and I seek refuge for her in You and [for] her descendants from Satan, the expelled [from the mercy of Allah].”
-Qur’an 3:36
These two verses clearly answer the questions. There is only male and female and "identifying" beyond that is impermissible. A male is someone born with the male genitals and a female born with the female genitals. They are not the same.
This didn’t answer the question for me, I appreciate that you acknowledge the LGBTQ+ are born that way, but what I would like to know is, is it still a sin to act on those natural feelings?
Anyways no religion says these are not the major sins, still every sinner is still believer of that religion and can try stopping and repenting to god.
It is
She didn't say they are born that way. She's just being respectful and nice.
In Islam your feelings aren't held accountable. If you are muslim and you choose to be gay, openly or privately, that's your choice. And that relationship and that effects of that choice and outcomes are not for other muslims to guess or to even judge . That is only between the person and God. The Qur'an and sunnah clearly says it's a sin: yes the feelings are natural. We are not denying it. But as muslims we believe the earth is a test, and that having these kinds of desires is a kind of test : that you do not act upon them. But even if you do , other muslims have no right to judge you as that's god's job. However, the line is drawn when LGBTQ people announce this as the only right way and start to preach this as right and force people to accept it. That's where the Sharia says no. Hope this answered your question, and I apologise if I offended you , I wanted to be respectful but also quite clear on the point !
I'm not a muslim so its not my thing to speak on this subject but i assume there's a difference between the religion and the culture. The culture often tends to twist stuff and words. So some opressing rules are just made up
Gay people have always existed . Whilst in islam having intercourse with same gender if you’re a Muslim is a sin , you can still repent from it , if it was to ever occur, and Allah will forgive you if you’re sincere . Just like how you can repent from zina never forget Allah mercy. May this life be easy for you and all your wishes be granted in heaven. This world is temporary so never forget that. It is difficult but the more you struggle to stay away from this the more rewards you’ll be granted. And who knows the fact that you tried to stay away from this may just be what will grant you heaven. Allah sees your struggle and you doing what U can to please him will give you a big advantage
i'm part of the lgbtqa+ community and i'm muslim.
careful when standing on top of a building
I didn't like how the tiptoed around the answer. It is very straight forward. Yes you can be gay and convert. Yes you can have homosexual temptation while being a Muslim. No you can not have a homosexual life style and be a Muslim. It is not a complicated answer and one should take pride in their religion.
I have seen many people in the comments talking about the prohibition of a person being gay and Muslim, but the truth is not like that... it's true that once you believe in the existence of allah and believe that the Prophet Muhammad, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, is the Messenger of God, you become a Muslim, but of course after that you must follow what came in Islam and what God commanded us to do, and we move away from what He warned us about. Among the things that God warned us about is homosexuality. It is not permissible for you to be from the gay community and you are a Muslim, because that is one of the taboos that will keep you away from entering Paradise in the Hereafter Which will ruin your life and the lives of those around you and of course God kept us away from such things for reasons and because he knows that there is no good in such things. ... I hope the idea is clear.

I love you queen and I wish u happiness always ❤️
don’t ever feel like your identity or the way you were born is “wrong.” you’re a human being too. you make mistakes and have feelings. you deserve more than to be viewed as nothing more than sinful and wrong. you deserve respect.
How do people know you're gay though?
@Sarah Ashraf You shouldn't be talking about your sins so openly and proudly.
Thanks for the video. I am starting to study Islam as I am leaning towards it. I am a trans woman and I found a wonderful and accepting Islamic group.
The whole point is that this dunya is temporary, and we work for the afterlife. So it’s okay to have thoughts concerning same sex attraction but acting upon your desires (like getting in a lgbtq relationship) is a sin. It’s hard, but think about your reward in the end. And when we say we respect LGBTQ people we mean that as human beings we treat them as well as any other straight person. We just don’t support (but doesn’t mean that we go around shouting at them or treating them terribly) their actions as its against our religion.
Exactly that’s the whole point.
Once you are Muslim, what then? (If you’re a part of the LGBTQ+ community?) I know you aren’t scholars, but I’d like to know your thoughts.
What you do is you supress those thoughts immediately. NEVER EVER act on it. dont even label yourself apart of LGBT! And dont support it at all as it is 10000% haram. And if you are still having those desires or evil intentions, say "Aaoothu billahi min Asshaytan Arrajim" Make lots of duaa for ease and for these thoughts to go away. and probably get married (a 100% halal marriage) (no same gender crp) so that way u can focus on ur spouse rather than those desires.
I think there is some confusion of requirements to convert vs. rules to follow. I used to think to be Muslim meant you had to wear hijab, not eat pork, pray 5 or however many times a day, etc. But after watching videos from you, NinjaMommy, and others, I’ve realized that you can be Muslim and still do all those things, it’s just discouraged and against teachings.
The 5 pillars of Islam gotta be followed.
1) 5 daily prayers, 2) fasting in Ramadan, 3) Shahada (believing in One God), 4) Zakat (Charity) 5) Pilgrimage to Mecca (Only if u can afford it).
U gotta remember being Muslim isn't a label that is undefined. It is supported through action and belief. U cannot go around calling urself one when u do not practice any of it, that would be fake.
Regarding ur points:
U can't eat pork, u can wear hijab if u feel comfortable with it on (where I live u can get assaulted so I don't wear it yet), and praying 5 times a day r ur minimum mandatory prayers, cuz it is a literal pillar of Islam.
It is a lifestyle not just a belief, both make a Muslim. U cannot negate things that don't suit u becuz ur lazy to put in the effort. The reason ppl convert and are Muslim is to believe in the concept of it as well as it in practice, otherwise why bother.
@@haketyu7891 I understand that, but I was saying if you do something against the teachings, that doesn’t mean you’re automatically not Muslim or not Muslim anymore. If you eat a piece of bacon or don’t pray one time one day, that’s not good, but you’re not kicked out for doing so. I’m obviously not a Muslim, I’m Christian. Murder is a sin, but if someone murders someone, they’re not automatically no longer Christian. That’s bad, they should seek forgiveness, and they really shouldn’t do it again, but it doesn’t kick them out of the faith. Christianity is made up of all sinners.
You can't identify as a muslim without following the basic rules. Okay if you believe in Allah and The Prophet Muhammad Peace be upon him. But you gotta follow what god says, otherwise why identify as a muslim, when you don't wanna follow the religion
@@EMAM-Islamic Right, but I’m saying you can be a Muslim and still sin. Or are you saying as soon as you sin, you’re out?
@@steggiec no, I'm not saying that. I'm saying, you should believe in one thing if not doing it. You believe that it's part of Islamic to cover yourselves. But don't do it. That's okay. It's you're choice but you'll recieve you're sin for it. One thing is that you say it's not part of Islamic faith to cover yourselves, then that is denial. And if you deny something from the faith.

There's nothing wrong with being LGBTQ+, as someone who's part of the community I don't believe it's a sin(haram). How can it be a sin when it's natural to the human being and other species?? Thank u so much for making this video, people need to understand that Islam is for everybody (I'm not Muslim, but I love Islam)
Well, in Islam, we don't believe every natural instinct should be followed. Like, I'm a woman, and I sometimes have desires for other men. But I shouldn't go and sleep with someone or even do something less unless I marry someone. Same for men. It's very natural to want to have intimacy but Islam is a way of life, of controlling your desire and not them controlling you. Desires are a test before anything. Allah doesn't want us to live sad, that's why many if not most desires are okay to be fulfilled... But some are just prohibited and that's the way it is.
Now, Allah knows we're humans. He knows we make mistake. I'm personally from the opinion that if someone is attracted to the same sex and doesn't go around saying it or sleep with them, it's completely okay. If they do some things in private, it's a big sin but we all sin. My problem is with LGBT Muslims who go around proudly saying they've sinned. I think they should stop. I have my own sins and I don't go around being proud of them.
You can have feelings for somebody your gender, but do not show it and keep it to yourself. You can’t control your feelings, but you CAN control yourself. Being lgbt+ is HARAM and FORBIDDEN, those who think not must learn more.

You can phrase it however you like. Islam, along with Christianity and Judaism are extremely homophobic religions.

He argues that the ummah should accept its LGBT members, even though they are in same sex relationships.
No I agree that everyone that smokes or drink alcohol can convert. I’ve always believe that anybody, any religion, any culture can convert/revert to Islam.
I think a few people are confused If you are gay for example in thoughts and feelings thats is fine it only becomes a sin once you act upon it if you are gay you can’t help that but you can help acting upon it
What happens if you convert but do not stop having same sex relationships?
Similar to if you convert but do not stop drinking alcohol
If u convert try ur best to leave even heterosex outside wedlock.
Nothing. Its between you and God.
gay people can convert but they have to end the relationship
Is it possible if your a Christian to convert to Muslim if you believe in allah?
Yes, if you also believe that Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him is the final messenger and prophet. I was a Christian all my life and became a Muslim a few years ago
This video still doesn't clarify if you can act on your desires if you're part of the lgbtq community and muslim. If you can't, it's extremely discriminatory. It's like saying a husband and wife who love each other can't ever physically show their love.
If you can but it's considered a sin and you gotta apologize, again, discriminatory.
Islam allows you to be (that is, to feel) lgbt, whatever you might be: homosexual, pansexual, trans... But you cannot act upon that or publicly identify as it. If you feel attraction towards your same sex, that is okay since you dont get sin for the things you cannot control, such as your dreams and your feelings, but you can never be in a relationship with someone of your same gender. If you are trans, it is okay to have disphoria and to feel the way you feel, but you CANT transition because that is such a huge sin in Islam, the type of sin that takes you straight to Jahannam (Hell), and you cannot publicly identify as trans, nor wear the opposite gender's clothes. You can absolutely revert to Islam if you are lgbt, and there is no sin for feeling in certain way, but you can't at all act upon your feelings or identify with them, because doing so would be an immense sin. And you cant support lgbt people either, because supporting them would be encouraging them to follow their impulses and commit sinful acts, so you would receive the same punishment as them
@@Maatkara1000 Yes, so it's essentially discriminatory but they're trying to dress it up as inclusive. It's forced celibacy for no fault of yours. Otherwise they're all like, men have uncontrollable desires so everybody has gotta wear hijab and practice modesty. But desires of lgbtq people aren't seen at the same level or given any thought.
salam alaykum, this is my take on this subject. i am not a scholar and my thoughts are in no way "final" or "justified" compared to the direct word of Allah swt, i am still learning and inshAllah I will be guided towards the right way of thinking if my opinions are faulty.
having romantic feelings towards people of your same gender is not unnatural or made up, or else it would not be referenced in the Quran. it is very real and a normal feeling. it is not some kind of phase or disease to feel this way. however, it is an impure kind of love in most cases. what i've noticed is most gay relationships are driven by lust towards each other rather than by partnered connection between two souls that will bring you closer to Allah and make you realize His blessings every moment you're with the other person. being in a gay relationship (at least in today's age and culture) brings you away from your sense of spirituality and opens doors to other foul behavior. it was this way in the times mentioned in the Quran as well. Allah swt knows us more than we do. He is closer to us than our jugular vein (50:16) however wholesome and pure our relationship with another individual of the same sex we think is, Allah swt has told us that it will only bring you bad things in the end and lead you down a path you dont want. even if you think you feel happy right now, how will you feel on the Day of Judgement? is this relationship something that will benefit you even when your spouse is no longer with you on judgement day? when you are all alone under the spotlight of Allah swt? did they aid your personal developement? or did they just quench your worldy thirst? these are things you must think through before deciding if your relationship is halal or not (regardless of it being gay or not). in my opinion, nobody can tell a gay person that they are sinning or that they will go to hell. i think that a gay person has to build up their imaan first, by becoming a Muslim inshAllah and studying the religion. if they do this and if they really want an answer, Allah swt will hear the pain in your heart and help you understand why everything is. we are all His creation. no matter your past, He will always be there to help you. So if youre a gay person who's taken interest in Islam, I hope that you choose to learn about our beautiful religion and participate in our practices. believe in Allah the Almighty, and He will show you the answers and open your heart InshAllah.
Good luck on your journey
I would agree with your statement but the part of gay people of being lustful is a stereotype that has harmed the community in the past. For example, during the 1980s USA, many religious groups tried to pin the AIDS crisis on gay people as they are inherently more lustful (in their own heads). However, it was actually straight people who spread it to each other with sex and other subtle ways such as blood transfusions or breastfeeding. If the case that the one of the things against the community is of lust, then it really isn’t ethical to reinforce a harmful stereotype that already has been wrongfully passed on to the community from previous history. We must also realize that the ones that we see necessarily doesn’t dictate about what a group of people is as a whole. For example, the description that all Muslims are Talibans is what the media has blown out of proportion and what many people seem to perceive, but in real life it couldn’t be further from the truth. In the same way, we shouldn’t repeat harmful stereotypes of any community.
@@KL-ki8db thank you for mentioning this
Don't mix up. A muslim who involves in homossexuality is still a Muslim, as long as he knows that it is a sin in Islam. He should ask for forgiveness, but he is still a Muslim.
Soo You Can be Gay but after Conversion you can't right? right? I love you and your videos but This Video was dodging the main question Don't try to sugarcoat Like bro people in Syria are beheaded and if you wanna take a much "Advanced" country People in Saudi are Stoned to death if they are found Gay I mean throw it as it is you can't sugarcoat it trying not to offend the LGBTQIA community if they get to know the fun part they need to know what risks come with the conversion
I think that what matters is the afterlife, so no matter what is your desires, what matters is what you did for god, since he told us to worship him, so it doesn't matter to be gay if you believe in god and in what he said and do what he told you to do
I like the way that she speaking and he's listening
Okay but. Correct me if I'm wrong. But if you're muslim you believe that being gay, or at the very least "acting on gay feelings" is wrong. That is inherently discriminatory. Speaking from my own experience as a gay person, I would not be happy if every time I felt attraction to men I had to say to myself, "Can't act on that, it's not allowed." It's suppressing a very large part of myself that I cannot change or control. It would mean I don't have the basic right to love someone in the way that straight people can and do all the time. And I'm not trying to say Islam is the only religion that does this. If you think about homophobia, often times the stereotype is very religious christian parents telling their gay child they're not allowed to be in a happy loving relationship. But obviously, not all religious people are homophobic. This might be a bit of a weird question, and I am trying to ask this as respectfully as I can, but is it common for muslims to, for lack of a better term, ignore parts of the Quran in the same way that christians don't follow the bible exactly? Like, more following the general idea of being charitable, kind, modest, etc rather than following every single command word for word? I know you guys can't speak for all muslims, but I'm trying to get some sort of sense of like, the average, if that makes any sense at all.
Yeah, generally speaking that is the case, though it doesn't make it right. For example, in my country, the majority of the population is Muslim. However, most people you meet on the streets do not wear a hijab or niqab, even though in Islam it's mandatory. Most people also have sex before marriage and drink alcohol as well (again, all of which are basically sinful) Most of it boils down to people being people, as in they're not perfect (none of us are) and just choosing to ignore certain things Islam prescribes out of inconvenience. The point of Islam really is, if you genuinely believe that God is one, that He sent out multiple prophets to guide people, that there is an afterlife, etc. and if you truly see this to be true, with that you understand that everything in this life is temporary as well as a test (for some it's extreme poverty, for others it's disabilities, perhaps famine, war, death etc.) and the harder and more difficult the hardship, the greater the reward basically. But to answer your question, yeah, there are a lot of muslims that don't really follow Islam word for word, the only difference being is that, with Islam, people don't get to say something is allowed when it isn't, considering that for over 1400 years not a single word from the Quran has been altered, so that which is clearly forbidden stays forbidden, whether people agree with it or not. Hope I answered your question at least somewhat! :)
@@Roxy52853 That was a very thoughtful and helpful answer, thank you very much.
@@tobeseve4020 No problem! Glad I could help :)
I'm muslim and it honestly depends how you choose to interpret the holy Quran.
No layman can interpret the Holy Quran. Who do we get interpretations of the Quran? From the scholars who then get it from the companions of Islam.
You are in no position to make any interpretation of the Quran. And on top of that, Allah destroyed the people of Lut.
And in an Authentic Hadith, the Prophet ﷺ warned against this action.
So will you follow these liberals? Or will you follow Allah and his Messenger ﷺ.
Hi thanks for trying to clarify but u didn’t really answer the question. Can u openly be gay eg love someone of the same sex and be Muslim
No
I guess it depends if you're doing it cos ur purposely ignoring the rule
Yeah you can, you would just be winning in the eyes of Islam. You won’t physically be stopped (well hopefully not anyway, imagine that would be horrendous!) but it would be seen as a sin, just like eating pork. I personally do not agree with this opinion btw, I think same sex relationships are 100% okay and shouldn’t be viewed this way, this is just what Islam says.
openly means? going around and telling Muslims that? then No, that means spreading corruption.
But your feelings are your feelings it's until you act upon them, same thing goes for any other major sins, until you act then they won't be counted but if you refrain from going forward you'll be rewarded.
@@thenamescara64 No they can't, Islam is against that, no same sex relationship is allowed..
I’m trans and pan and also Muslim also I’m a convert I love Allah but I just realised that I was non-binary and pan so do I still have sins but I have been questioning my gender before I became Muslim so I don’t know if my sins stay
Not allowed can't be Muslim and lgbt
@@ceo9395 and you kinda can it’s not a illegal it just says you can’t be that doesn’t mean they don’t exist
Islam allows you to be (that is, to feel) lgbt, whatever you might be: homosexual, pansexual, trans... But you cannot act upon that or publicly identify as it.

So is this saying that I can only convert to Islam but ONLY if I can revert my sexuality and become a heterosexual once I fully convert to Islam ? Basically what I feel you are saying here is anyone can CONVERT to Islam no matter what but I’m still basically NOT going to be apart of the entire Islamic community unless I follow “a set standard of rules” and only sleep or bare children from a female , correct ? Because I absolutely feel that is what you were saying here and I just want to be clear as I love you all , your content and your channel
No, you can convert to Islam with any sin. But I'd assume if you convert to Islam, you believe in paradise and God and judgment day. If you do, you believe God gave rulings and will judge if you followed them and allow you into paradise. If you do, you'll want to follow the rules to obtain that. Hope this helps.

1 corinthians 15:1-4
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day accord ing to the scriptures
Islam is the only non-Christian faith, which makes it an article of faith to believe in Jesus (pbuh). No Muslim is a Muslim if he does not believe in Jesus (pbuh).
We believe that he was one of the mightiest Messengers of Allah (swt).
We believe that he was born miraculously, without any male intervention, which many modern day Christians do not believe.
We believe he was the Messiah translated Christ (pbuh).
We believe that he gave life to the dead with God’s permission.
We believe that he healed those born blind, and the lepers with God’s permission.
It was narrated from Ibn`Abbas that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
“Whoever you find doing the action of the people of Lut, kill the one who does it, and the one to whom it is done.”
One of my problems with islam.
The three major Abrahamic religions are against homosexuality.
The bible:Moses in the Hebrew Bible referred to the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah in Deuteronomy 29:22-23:
“Your children who follow you in later generations and foreigners who come from distant lands will see the calamities that have fallen on the land and the diseases with which the lord has afflicted it. The whole land will be a burning waste of salt and sulfur-nothing planted, nothing sprouting, no vegetation growing on it. It will be like the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboyim, which the Lord overthrew in fierce anger.”
The punishment of lgbtq is only death...
From Abu Musa al-Ash'ari, the Prophet states that: "If a woman comes upon a woman, they are both adulteresses, if a man comes upon a man, then they are both adulterers."
- Al-Tabarani in al-Mu‘jam al-Awat: 4157, Al-Bayhaqi, Su‘ab al-Iman: 5075....
Narrated by Abdullah ibn Abbas: "The Prophet said: 'If you find anyone doing as Lut's people did, kill the one who does it, and the one to whom it is done'."
- Sunan Abu Dawood 4462, Jamiʽ al-Tirmidhi 1456, Sunan ibn Majah 2561
It was narrated that Ibn Abbas said: "The Prophet said: '... cursed is the one who does the action of the people of Lut'."
- Musnad Ahmad:1878
Totally true, we need to up👆 this comment
*Allah says* (interpretation of the meaning):
“And (remember) Lut (Lot), *when he said to his people* : *Do you commit the worst sin such as none* *preceding you has committed in the Alamin* (mankind and jinn)?
Verily, you practice your lusts on men instead of women. Nay, but you are a people transgressing beyond *bounds* (by committing great sins)’” [al-A'raf 7:80-81]
Everyone is welcomed in this beautiful religion islam...this religion helps us people to lead a healthy lifestyle which not only benifits us as a human being, but also the environment where we are growing ....
I loved this !
