[@legend9872]

im actually a bit dissapointed at people who say Dr.Shabir is "too open-minded and westernized" as well as people praising Dr. Shabir for "spreading tolerance". This isn't politics, this is Islam. I so appreciate the way he (and tbh the whole program) focuses purely on the quran and validity of hadith when it comes to answering questions. Notice how he starts with "the quran..." and most scholars start with something that usually goes along the lines of "homosexuality is an ungodly sin punishable by the hellfires!!!".

[@Remake5182]

I think he did awfully.

[@user-lo9si5dx8t]

Exactly some people mistakenly and sadly are under the impression that Islam means oppression, no laugh, no smiling, no joking, no enjoying things, you have to miserable and die miserable in order to get to Paradise, which is in fact the opposite of what Islam teaches. Shabir Ally is someone who goes by the book so to speak, at least he tries, but you have some of the zealots who seem to think Islam is all about being inconsiderate, insensitive, unkind, uncharitable etc.. They also seem to think Islam is all about force, and unfortunately that is the image they are selling to the non-muslim world. All Wahhabi type mindset, and half of them are hypocrites because behind close doors they probably do worse. Anyway Shabir Ally like most of us who wants to go by what the Qu'ran teaches and not by what some Saudi (Wahhabi doctrine ) teaches. Allah knows best.

[@user-lo9si5dx8t]

and most scholars start with something that usually goes along the lines of "homosexuality is an ungodly sin punishable by the hellfires!!!". Total agreement there, those usually borrow stuff from the OT, many silly stories were lifted straight from the OT. Islam is and should be different, a bit like stoning they invent so called Hadiths to implement something that is totally alien to the Qu'ran and Allah's laws. How can the highest form of corporal punishment is 100 lashes and these people tried very hard to implement stoning as an acceptable punishment in our Islamic teachings. 1) This was a punishment invented mostly by the ancient pagan civilisations such as Rome. 2) It was later introduced and added to the "Bible" (OT) 3) Later it reached us through the backdoor via way of so called Hadith. So Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him knows better than his creator? Wow, or Allah forgot to include it in the Qu'ran? Oh dear may Allah guide all of us insha Allah.

[@user-lo9si5dx8t]

@@naimamohamed6231 Dear sister, for the love and sake of Allah, adding stuff to what Allah decreed is one of the biggest sins. In Hadiths also says we can stone adulterers, although the Qu'ran specifically points at the highest punishment is 100 lashes, so according to you we should ignore (as usual) what Allah says, and believe some Hadith written by someone unknown, which he borrowed straight from the OT. So what makes your Qu'ran so special if you're doing exactly what the Bible says and does? There is no mention about a great sin. "Musrifun" means spoilers or wasters nothing to do with transgressors, and there is no mention of Haram, or sin. I don't care if there 10 000 Hadiths, any Hadith that contradicts the Qu'ran I don't accept it, period! I am not the one judging sister, you are the one holding judgements using vague Qu'ranic passages to judge others, unless we misunderstood each other. I don't judge anyone, on the contrary, I am not perfect so I will not point a finger at anyone.

Verily, you practise your lusts on men instead of women. Nay, but you are a people transgressing beyond bounds (by committing great sins)’” [al-A’raaf 7:80-81] It is very clearly mentioned in this verse that the people of Lut were engaging in homosexuality and it was a manifest sin.

It doesn't take a genius to see that the Muslim world has far greater problems than a few gay folks doing what they want behind closed doors. Conservative muslims should stop all their hand-wringing over homosexuality. Gay people simply exist, they always have, in every society, and no amount of hatred or violence directed at them will ever change that. It's far better (and more Islamic) to love one's every neighbor and show the world an Islam that is magnificent, benevolent, and merciful.

Islam is unequivocally clear on the prohibition of homosexuality although the punishment for it has not been ordained on earth. Surah Al-Rum Chapter 30, verse 22. "And of His signs is that He has created wives for you from among yourselves so that you may find peace of mind in them..." There are other verses where heterosexuality has been deemed the clear law of nature in the Holy Quran. This much should be very clear. What should be remembered is that there is no punishment mentioned by Allah for this so Muslims should remember not to take ANY justice for this in their own hands. Easy rule to remember is "Love for all hatred for none". You won't change hearts or even opinions by violence. Peace and Love (As practiced by our master the Holy Prophet (saw)) is the biggest and most effective method of reasoning.

NOWHERE does Allah permit Muslims to force Islamic law on ANY land that is not a Muslim ruled country. In fact, if you had EVER read the Quran you would know, that Allah COMMANDS the Muslims to abide by the law of the land in which they live in. If they feel they cannot do that then they should move to a country that they can abide the law of... but abide they MUST! 'Western Liberal Values' ..... you sure you have a unanimous definition that everyone can agree on??? don't forget MANY Christians, Jews and even Atheist who disagree with homosexuality.... you want to kick them our of Canada as well??? some liberal values you have!!!! the minute someone disagrees with you you want to kick em out of Canada.... that's hypocrisy... try to listen to what others have to say and respect everyone even if you don't agree with them.. THAT is liberal values and quiet frankly EXACTLY what the Holy Quran teaches... and no I won't leave Canada because it is my land just as much as it is yours. Live with that!

[@shahkar]

+Zackery Silas ... Can you point out in my comments where I am forcing you to believe or pushing my beliefs on you ??? However, you, on the other hand, have been very forceful in pushing your beliefs by telling me and all Muslims to leave YOUR country if we don't agree with your 'Liberal values'... like I said, I find people like you just as much of hypocrites as the extremist of ANY RELIGION. You only want to spread hatred against people who disagree with you because you have made up your mind that they are all 'evil'. I'm not really interested in changing your mind...you are a hateful person and that's pretty much it... If, however, you want to have an intelligent decision based on your research of the Quran then can you give me ONE VERSE from the Quran that forces people to believe in it ? this should be VERY EASY for you since you read it 'front to back and back to front....' There is no doubt the Muslim women are repressed in many backwords countries that declare themselves Muslims but do yourself a favor and ask a Muslim woman who is educated in Canada and wears a hijab if she is repressed. Why should I tell you they are not repressed ... I'll let the women cover that topic... You believe the Holy Prophet was a false prophet - So be it. It's your belief. Marrying more than one person is repulsive - Frankly I can't even think about marrying more than one woman...I'm good with the one I got.... HOWEVER, what you are I think are limited to our singular views and good for us in our limited little worlds. The world at large can benefit from women being legally married to a man and having legal children... many aspects: legal, moral, etc, etc... but I don't think you are interested in an intellectual discussion on this topic.. you just wanted to raise a point without even knowing what the Quran says about it... oh I forgot you have read it front to back and back to back or something like that.. You don't respect my right to follow my path in life - you will always shout slogans against me and my family just because we follow Islam and do it without forcing our beliefs on anyone.

Hey Salman Ahmed, I get your point here. But then you also mentioned the acts of prev generation, which were disliked, should be continued to be treated the same way. That reminded me of the many dialogues which the disbelievers have said to various prophets (s.a.w), as an explanation to their idol worshippping, that their fathers uses to do the same as well. At that time, if they had held on to the same mentality, then there wouldn't have been anyone who got converted to the religion of Islam right? I'm just asking you, what if we were actually wrong about6taking clear cut decisions on such issues?

[@ZBspicey]

I highly respect Dr. Shabir and his critical way of thinking about controversial topics in Islam. However, I do think he is sugar coating this a little bit. In the Quran it clearly mentions homosexuals as people who are "extravagant" or transgressed their bounds in Chapter 7 Verse 81. I do not think it is a sin to have feelings for the same sex, it is when the feeling is implemented. Please clarify that it is indeed not permissible in Islam, this is the word of god, not something that can be politicized

Nay, but you are a people transgressing beyond bounds (by committing great sins).’ 82. And the answer of his people was only that they said: ‘Drive them out of your town, these are indeed men who want to be pure (from sins)!’ 83. Then We saved him and his family, except his wife; she was of those who remained behind (in the torment). 84. And We rained down on them a rain (of stones). Then see what was the end of the Mujrimoon (criminals, polytheists and sinners)” [al-A’raaf 7:80-84] “Verily, by your life (O Muhammad), in their wild intoxication, they were wandering blindly. 73. So As‑Saihah (torment - awful cry) overtook them at the time of sunrise. 74. And We turned (the towns of Sodom in Palestine) upside down and rained down on them stones of baked clay. 75. Surely, in this are signs for those who see (or understand or learn the lessons from the Signs of Allaah). 76.

Why didn't Dr Shabir mentioned those, for example in Chapter 7 and verses 80 to 81 of the the Qur'an. 'And (remember) When Lot scolded (the men of) his people (saying,) "Do you commit a shameful deed that no man has ever done before? You lust after men instead of women!

I Stumbled upon this video and was utterly shocked at his interpretation of verse 31 of Chapter 24 of the Qur'an. In that verse, the 'male attendant free from sexual urges' either is due to advanced age, mental weakness, poverty or low social position, so that he cannot have the boldness to think evilly of his master’s wife, daughter, sister or mother. You can't use that verse to push your evil narrative of normalizing homosexuality. Now It doesn't feel like let the Qur'an speak anymore instead its more like let Dr. Shabir say what he thinks is the right thing and then speak on behalf of the Qur'an.

This is what the Quran says : Quran 7:80-84 "And (remember) Lut, when he said to his people; "Do you commit the worst sin such as none has preceding you has committed in the 'Alamin (among the mankind and the jinn)?" 81. "Verily, you practice your lusts on men instead of women. Nay, but you are a people transgressing beyond bounds (by such sins)." 82"And the answer of his people was only that they said: 'Drive them out of your town, these are indeed men who want to be pure (from sins)!" 83. "Then (Allah) saved him and his family, except his wife; she was of those who remained behind (in the torment)." 84. "And (Allah) rained down on them a rain (of stones). Then see what was the end of the Mujrimun (criminals, polytheists, sinners, etc.)"

The verse (Qur’an 26: 165-166) is the one that makes people think homosexuality is a sin. أَتَأْتُونَ ٱلذُّكْرَانَ مِنَ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ وَتَذَرُونَ مَا خَلَقَ لَكُمْ رَبُّكُم مِّنْ أَزْوَٰجِكُم ۚ بَلْ أَنتُمْ قَوْمٌ عَادُونَ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ English translations of this verse: Pickthall What! Of all creatures do ye come unto the males, And leave the wives your Lord created for you? Nay, but ye are froward folk. Sahih International Do you approach males among the worlds And leave what your Lord has created for you as mates? But you are a people transgressing." Yusuf Ali "Of all the creatures in the world, will ye approach males, "And leave those whom Allah has created for you to be your mates? Nay, ye are a people transgressing (all limits)!" ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ If you look the verse in Arabic the word, that is translated as "Nay" or "But", used is 'Bal' which is a particle of digression. "When it is followed by a proposition, the meaning of the digression is either the cancelling of what precedes or transition of one object of discourse to another." That means the proposition that "Do you approach males among the worlds And leave what your Lord has created for you as mates?" is negated by 'bal' and "You are a people transgressing" is affirmed. The verse literally means that they were not just simply 'coming to men instead of women' but they were transgressing beyond that. So, this leaves to 2 possibilities: 1. Coming to men instead of women is WRONG (is a sin) but people of Lut were transgressing even beyond that. Or 2. Coming to men instead of women is OKAY(not a sin) but people of Lut were transgressing beyond that. What do you think about it?

And his people's only answer was to say, “Expel them from your town; they are purist people.” 83. But We saved him and his family, except for his wife; she was of those who lagged behind. 84.

Nay, but you are a people exceeding the limit. alhamdhu it is said in authentic hadith that Abdullah ibn Amr reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Verily, Allah does not withhold knowledge by snatching it away from his servants, but rather he withholds knowledge by withholding scholars, until no scholar remains and people follow ignorant leaders. They are asked and they issue judgments without knowledge. Thus, they are astray and lead others astray.”

10:20 I am going to be provocative here, unfortunately many of the so called Hadiths are found in the Islamic tradition which they came via the back door through the OT and many of the ancient religions. There is no mention of homosexuality in the Qur'an or Hadith and many "Muslim" scholars intentionally or unintentionally (Only Allah knows what was in their hearts) but I personally came across many similarities between the Bible or Christianity and some of the Islamic traditions which made me question the whole thing. This is my take on the issue, since they knew they could never corrupt the Qur'an, so in order to create confusion, to cast doubts in the hearts of the muslims, to cause division, they first raised the "Hadith" to the authoritative status. In many cases muslims go by what "A" hadith says, it takes precedence over the Qu'ran although they will all openly claim that the Qu'ran is the authority but in application you see a totally different scenario, some people can actually question the Qur'an but not the authenticity of the Hadith, they have the nerve to question the veracity of the Qu'ran but never the Hadith, especially if the latter was found in Bukhari or Muslim. This is our biggest problem, many times I came across Hadiths contradicting each other and yet the Muslim Ummah seem happy to keep both in the collection no matter what.

[@flappyfeet1147]

Having gay impulse's in Islam - you are not punished for this but rather you are punished for the action upon the impulse, in other words someone may have an impulse to steal, maybe they get a huge rise out of it but they have to stop themselves so in the same because someone feels some way doesn't mean they have to act on impulse - very much like an animal. Actually even acting on gay impulses in Islam you can not be punished for unless you were seen by four people and even then there is a court of law process by which each of them are questioned separately and in extreme detail where even if one detail is a little bit off the accused are given the benefit of the doubt. Also you maybe thinking "but why shouldn't they be allowed to practice their affection publicly and still not have to undergo punishment in this world" to this I say in an ideal Muslim state there should be no practice of affection between even a married couple publicly as much of a shock that is to you, if you really felt passionate about your spouse why do you need to show affection in front of everyone else it almost seems as if you're trying to convince others of something you are not sure of, I've only spoken about the implications of the act in this world, the consequence of which Allah should choose upon them is an entirely different matter, I'm only arguing the "seen" or observable by us as an explanation to someone who does not believe in Islam or God. Also on a related note the punishment for sex before marriage or during marriage with someone else is similar to the punishment for the act of homosexuality, so there is food for thought - hence Islam isn't really homophobic, because you don't agree with something or a certain action does not automatically make you phobic to it. Please educate yourselves before you post comments that show the extent of your ignorance and lack of education both academically and generally.

[@flappyfeet1147]

Liaqat Ally To act on the impulse is not natural but you can not say for sure that the impulse isn't there amongst some individuals - the impulse isn't what they're punished for but rather the action is and I wasn't arguing the point whether it is natural feeling or not but rather because I've never experienced it and so can't speak for a group of people that claim it is "natural" - I was merely replying to the idea that it is natural assuming it is "natural" and debunking the action on the "natural impulse" by giving other scenarios that can be viewed as equally natural.

Speaking of humans following Islam and what not it seems like every time people attempt to put Islam under a bad light more people join Islam because they are at the very least intelligent enough to understand what it is that is spoken about before reaching unjust conclusions. Furthermore what is the point in your argument if all you are doing is attempting to insult me and my religion and a pitiful attempt at that - had you actually had any form of legitimacy you would not need to create petty I insults to get your point across and that is that makes me loose all respect for you and not the fact that we may have a difference of opinion also I understand you may have lost all respect for me because of my religion since I must be exactly like the other 1.8 billion Muslim but even though you did as a disposition that is what makes you and I different.
