How Muslims Should Respond to LGBTQ at Work

[@kittystrawbery5464]

I don't have a job so I don't have workplace problems, but this is something I've been thinking about a lot, so I'm glad I came across this video. Thank you

6:06 i just found you guys, and im assuming you are reverts!!! i am muslim and i live in a muslim country myself, and i already struggle with getting called "narrow minded" .. whether it is about teen relationships or things along that line, what you said really encouraged me not to care sm about it. i love your content!! you just earned a sub 🩷

I was asked before spot on from a homosexual colleague and my simple reply was: yes it's forbidden to act upon these feelings (do something physical) in my religion much alike doing something physical before marriage and drinking alcohol etc. Forbidden - so i believe in everything my religion says but I will not be sticking my nose where it doesn't belong. You can live your life however you please I dont have to agree and accept it for myself in order to be tolerant towards anyone. ❤ Algorithm comment 😉

Absolutely brilliant. The woke is a luxury belief to destroy inter generational wealth by destroying family values to prevent competition for western old money elite and I don’t plan on playing their game where they set up all the rules for Muslims and people of colour to lose. I say you know it’s a sin in every religion and people who say it’s not are lying and have been bullied to lie to you because in most of the world there is no welfare state, children are the pension and nursing home care. If you legalize homosexuality in most of the developing world you have a lot of old people who will die in pain with no one to take care of them. Western legalization of homosexuality was only made possible by the wealth of the welfare state so let’s leave xenophobic moral arguments out of here. The west can temporarily afford to give you rights because right now it can afford to be a welfare state but if it continues it’s progressive policies it will no longer be in a financial position to do so and people will be forced to revert to the old regressive version of Christianity progressives hate so much to survive in absence of a welfare state so enjoy your freedom for your generation while it lasts and keep your nose in your business and don’t be judgemental. Loved your answer

JazakAllahu kheyran for sharing sis 🤲🩷 hopefully your colleague respected that? Or at least left you alone 😅

4:49 I remember my dad saying this and it literally shifted my perspective on the entire topic lol

[@halalsnackpack]

A wise man. Sometimes it takes just one thought to change an entire perspective. Thanks for sharing! Hope you're well!

[@Mariamthethird]

Thanks so much for your answer, I was feeling unsure and your perspective gave me confidence 💕 And hey, keep being you with the memes and everything-y’all feel like family. You’ve got me as your sister now too! Having this community is priceless, and I’m so glad we’ve got each other. Keep doing what you're doing! ✨

[@halalsnackpack]

Alhamdulillah we are happy it could be of help! And Alhamdulillah for the community, it really makes a difference 🤲 JazakAllahu kheyran for the support and kind words sis🩷 Part 2 of your email will be out this week in shaa Allah ✅️ - J

I needed this advice! It really is hard to state what you believe in when you feel like the listener is waiting to pounce on you (figuratively) for not being PC, but being confident comes with practice and maybe even a bit of rehearsing, as you guys suggested...

[@halalsnackpack]

We're glad this helped! Being politically correct at the expense of being Islamically wrong is always a loss in our opinion. Needless to say, ofc it might not always be easy. But practicing and having it at the tip of your tongue is deffo a life hack instead of stumbling over your words and who knows, maybe they'll learn something new about Islam and appreciate your honest reply. Thank you for your input! We appreciate you!

Off topic, I'm new here so I didn't know or expect that the man is Malaysian, bc it could be Indonesian or even American or European but tan skin, then I heard a lil of the Malay accent, it's not strong but some words still sounds familiar in Malay accent if you know what I mean. AND THEN I open your channel account and I go " Ah Hah I knew it" 😆 bc I saw the songkok and baju melayu. GOOD to see our generation is still keep on continuing the diversity mix in Marriage 👍❤

I think he is Malay but Singaporean

As for the LGBTQ issue, the Catholic Church distinguishes between having a homosexual attraction or even orientation and acting out homosexual behavior. The church acknowledges that the former is just the way some individuals are, but that is not the same as, or justifying, acting out the behavior. I am not Catholic, but this seems to me to be a reasonable position, and I would suppose (not being a scholar) that Islam could make the same distinction. I am strictly heterosexual, but that does not give me the right to act on my orientation in my own circumstances, not being married.

[@NiiimaNamiii]

This is actually a 100% right. It isn't forbidden to feel an attraction. The forbidden thing is acting on it. Well said ❤

[@desweetaaldhiana7729]

in islam, to have homosexual tendency or desire is fine as long not act upon it. if you act upon that desire (homosexual behaviour) its considered a sin. Also, if you strive to not act upon your desire to obey Allah, your struggle become great reward.

[@rajah8688]

@@desweetaaldhiana7729 where is this information from? (not trying to start an argument, just curious.)

[@desweetaaldhiana7729]

@@rajah8688 i followed this issue for some time. so, there is journals, syeikh, and da'ee they said the same thing about this issue. there is some book too. Not act upon lgbt desire considered jihadd for your nafs.

[@gaxxaroth7539]

good video. i'm just gonna comment for the algorithm.

[@halalsnackpack]

We're glad you think so! Thanks for the support

[@kingnour7428]

may ALLAH bless and protect you guys, good topic, learning is the key i think to solve this kind of questions.

[@halalsnackpack]

Ameen Ya Rabb! Thank you brother, we appreciate you

[@kunkunLAH]

same, as long as you dont press your belief to me, I wont press my belief unto you. i'll still be friends with you, but dont push it. thats towards individuals. hate the sin not the sinner, right? but if the company i work at openly support organizations/ causes for that particular community, i'd leave that company and search for a better halalan toyyiban source of income. also yeah as an introvert I dont involve myself with after-work activities. My relationship with you as colleagues start and end in the office.

[@halalsnackpack]

May Allah swt help us in making a halal income and grant us good work environments where we don't have to compromise any values 🤲 thank you for sharing!

If these gay people aren't muslim why should your beliefs be targuetted at them? They don't force their beliefs onto you so why should you do it onto them?

[@paulbartlett1212]

Some people of homosexual orientation DO try to force their beliefs on others. And merely stating calmly, This is what we believe, as Muslims, with no coercion, is not forcing one's Islamic beliefs on them.

[@miguelmartinez5886]

@@paulbartlett1212 sexuality is a trait that cannot be changed. So I couldn't imagine anyone would try to change anyone elses sexuality. Would you mind clarifying what beliefs are being forced on muslims? Because the only beliefs I see the lgbt comunity spread are human rights, the right to exist, and to have relationships amongst ourselves. This is not something that can be imposed on others, as it only affects us. So I just cant figure out what beliefs gay people are forcing onto Muslims.

[@miguelmartinez5886]

Maybe you could clarify what beliefs are being forced from your perspective. I think it would help me understand your point better

[@TacoLoco-coco]

​@@miguelmartinez5886 women are literally being pushed out by literal men in different sports, beauty pageants and even public restrooms. Women have been reduced to "cis-women" and mothers to "birthing person". That is pushing your "belief" onto others who wants nothing to do with it.

[@titan-bj6wn]

Lol the title clearly says "How Muslims should respond" why you getting butthurt when they're not even addressing you 😂

[@roumanfirdous8707]

nothing to talk. just pretend they are robots, when needed something about work , ask only about work, no gossips, no talks, no friends, no going out, no drinking coffee. its haram to even actually talk to them bcz these people are totally against allah. imagine tribe of lut which was totally destroyed for this behaivour.. astagfirullah..
