Just putting this out there to help others after reading some comments here. I am a sister who desired women as a teenager and honestly Allah healed me. I gave up on everything in life except for Allah and I didnt expect any relief and one day the most amazing feeling came over me and I felt that my body and brain had changed (I was transgender too) I felt full of light. After that I never felt desire towards women again alhamdulillah and it's been nearly 10 years now. Although I did suffer before it, when you completely give yourself to Allah and become so close to Him that He is more real to you than anything else, I feel that it was knowing Allah and His Oneness that healed me. There is light at the end of the tunnel for you insha'Allah. And for every struggle you go through even if it never ends, you are increasing in reward.

[@HaniOmar01]

This is amazing. It’s the power of sincerely and completely submitting our will to Allah. Thanks for sharing. I would like to add that Quran itself has the power of healing the ailments of the soul, heart and mind. This aspect is one of the most neglected aspects of the power of Quran.

[@amoondar69]

Dear Sister Ma Sha Allah. I am so happy for you. May Allah always protect you and bless you. I also have a situation with someone I know who is struggling. Is it possible to message you about it. Maybe you can become a Ziriya (the one who Allah sends as help) to help me, help the other person. I will wait for your reply. Jazak Allahu Khairan sister and May Allah always bless you abundantly

He said to "invite" disbelievers, not to kill. 4. He never feared gay people or disbelievers. A gay man may have urges, and that is something that could be natural. But acting upon it would be sinful. The prophet would try to improve the lives of sinners and those who wish to improve their lives and ask forgiveness to Allah.

@@galleryg998 It is a test from God, just as being a paedophile or psychopath, born with the urge for murder or to manipulate people is also a test. Even though many people might argue that it doesnt cause any harm, it actually does cause harm to a society (if you do your research) and the feeling is driven by desires, which are caused by hormonal and psychological changes in the womb, which are then triggered by environmental factors, not genes. So it's infact not even entirely natural and can be reversed if a homosexual person protects themselves for desires that could corrupt their hearts. Why do you think in biology it's always xy or xx and this has nothing to do with how a person feels? When you allow people to change who they objectively are based on feelings then you open the doors to all sorts of weirdness (eg there are currently people identifying as amputees and cutting their limbs off) and now they are even forcing these things on everyone. Anyway reguardless of all this, if God dislikes it so much and warns us to abstain from it, we should just obey on the account of who he is period.

How could he understand what a gay person feels?

[@tauhiduliqbalsampad]

@@evanhearne4020 He doesn't have to. One person can never feel another pwrson's feelings. He described the rules of a particular religion. In Islam, even if a man feels attraction for another man, he has to overcome it because in this religion, it is considered just as similar to having attraction to another person's wealth/belongings. This is one specific rule of one specific religion and he isn't forcing it on anyone. Imho, we can live wothout sex. If its love we are talking about, that has many forms and most pure forms of love are without the presence of sexual relations. If "hormones decide my fate" and I don't do anything about it, that just makes me closer to an animalistic being, not human.

[@evanhearne4020]

@@tauhiduliqbalsampad ok, and is a man feeling attracted to a woman just as similar as being attracted to one's belongings in Islam too? Because if not, a gay person should not have to overcome their attractions as it is simply another form of the same relationship. And another thing, hormones are human properties - they are what establish everything about us, how we feel and perceive the world along with genetics.

I truly admire his behaviour, maturity and respect. Although the idea that sexuality and stealing are equivalent comparisons is very ignorant and problematic. There is much scholarship and history to be debated (I will not debate it as I am not qualified to do so) but if scholarship developed to specifically condemn homosexuality then scholars must think outside and away from that to fully legitimise any view on the issue. There is no one way to understanding Islam and its greatness and so we must be open to challenging every aspect of our arguments. Why would Allah swt. test any creation in such a way that no other creation has every been known to be tested before (and I am not aiming to dismiss that we can never truly understand Allah swt and the divines actions), but sexuality is uncontrollable, and how does two people loving one another insult the almighty ? This obviously exists outside of the procreation argument. I urge us to afford queer people a safe and respectable space in our communities and spaces and I pray we can be amongst those who critically and seriously engage with ideas and beliefs, may Allah swt always guide us and may we never stand against our creator.

[@chronicskeptic]

I am not sure if comparing the impulse for stealing to the impulse for sexual attraction to opposite sex works. Sex is a very basic need of humans whereas act of stealing is not. Likewise hunger is one of the essential needs of humans like sex. I think comparing hunger to impulse for sex works better. And we are to compare these two, we can see that it is impossible to suppress the impulse for sex like it is impossible to suppress impulse for hunger. I am a muslim. I just look for a satisfactory answer for the wrongness of being gay from a islamic point of view.

[@garbage3559]

2:30 Just a small question ,isn't this case the same for straight people?like if gay people cannot be openly gay in public then straight people can also not be right?

nicholas harper they can but the rate of incidence in homosexuals is many times higher.

[@snake1mi]

It's not ok, nobody can see what you're doin at home. But the religion of Islam does not encourage to prosecute people based on assumptions like the West suggest. So sinful acts are never "ok". But we can only take action in an Islamic system, once the acts becomes known to the public.

[@snake1mi]

nicholas harper Not if we restrict intercourse to marriage, like Islam, Judaism and Christianity suggest. That's what separates us from animals.

[@talibahbinta5666]

Brother, your statement is very interesting and something I intend to research. I often hear that not drinking a sufficient amount of water (fresh) causes internal diseases. I've never heard of it curing sexual health problems, but it makes sense to me that it would. Thank you for your comment.:)

At one point in the video was he preaching intolerance? He says what you do behind closed doors is between you and god, Not anyone else's business. I think you've missed the point.

[@vandersonvlad4082]

But the question that remains is; why do we have to be so intolerant? For me, not liking someone purely and solely just because the person is gay is like not liking someone just because of their skin color!

You were born that way. Nothing you can do about it

Allah didn't put those feelings in you, your society and surroundings did. Allah made you as well as everyone else susceptible to those feelings.

So it practically follows that applied traditional Islam is incompatible with any modern, "western," democracy. Thanks for all the honesty, Hamza Yusuf!

***** Well... It does work... And that substantially better than any other sytem that has been tried as of now... ;-)

[@Wrath0fKhan]

***** "increasing international debt" More or less irrelevant in the bigger picture or long perspective. On the other hand; the past societies DID NOT function any better. To the contrary, they were far worse across a whole spectrum of observables... "poverty" Wrong... In the past poverty was a substantially bigger issue than it is now. And that by orders of magnitude if we start quantifying... "Ancient Greeks" Myth galore...

[@shahid8545]

First of all. Not everyone is supposed to agree and accept Western culture as the end all be all and no one is to be condemned because they don't adhere to "THEIR" rules. whether people want to admit to this or not, being gay is not a natural thing. People committ suicide, become depressed, lose their families and they cut off their families bloodline. So yes... its a sin.
