The Evil Sin of Homosexuality

The road to Paradise is paved with self-restraint and, the road to Hell with satisfaction of one’s drives and desires. “ The Prophet, sallallahu alayhe wa sallam, was once asked about the deeds which would surely lead one to Paradise. He replied, “Fear of Allah and upright behavior.’ On being asked about the deeds which would lead one to Hell, he said, “Their sayings and their sexual behavior.’” (Tirmithi). The Prophet, salallahu alayhe wa sallam, also said, “ I can guarantee Paradise to whoever can guard his mouth and what is between his legs.” (Bukhari) Allah has prohibited people from committing all sin, whether their behavior becomes exposed to others or not.
The way to happiness involves endurance of much patience, hardship, self-restraint and avoidance of sin and vice. On the other hand, it is easy to collapse before temptation and submit to one’s drives, but in the end, it ultimately leads to self –destruction. Indeed, there is no meaning to life without religion and one cannot gain satisfaction without committing to strong principles.
Homosexuality:
It is truly a sin disbelieved by healthy minds and violently rejected by natural instinct. Even animals and other creatures are repulsed by this action. The heavens, the Earth and the mountains tremble from the impact of this sin. The angels shudder as they anticipate the punishment of Allah to descend upon the people who commit this indescribable sin what is termed as 'Homosexuality'. Hisham Ibn said, “ Had Allah not informed us of the sinful deeds of the people of Lut, one would never have believed that males would commit such actions together.”

Sexual activity between men was not known on Earth since creation until the time of the people of Lut. They were the people whose men began this practice amongst themselves, instead of with women. They would boast of their disgusting action in their gatherings and assemblies. In the Holy Qur'an Lut (PUH) tells his people of their practice, “As never any being in the world has committed before you” (7:80). Amr Ibn Dinar said, Males never performed sexual activities together before the people of Lut.” Prophet Lut was sent to this nation to warn them of their actions and show them the path of Allah. “Indeed! You commit such abomination as none has ever committed before you. You approach the males, and you obstruct passers by, and you commit evil in your assemblies.” (29.28.29). The people of this town turned deaf ears to the advice of Lut and persisted in their shameless indecency and persisted boasting.
As a result, Allah subjected them to all sorts of punishment, like no other nation had ever been punished. The people of Lut were first deprived of their eyesight then Jibreel, peace by upon him, was ordered to tear their homes off the ground and raise them to the sky. Their screams and the barking of their dogs could be heard allover the sky. They were then overturned with their homes and hard stones of fire were rained upon them. Not one of them escaped, whether he was in the town, or wandering around, or away on a trip. All were struck with these stones until they were killed, and were on their way towards the torture of the fires of Hell.

Physical Harm:
Another serious consequence to homosexual activity is the birth of serious diseases that plague the Earth. The part of anal skin has no function like the skin of vagina .. the skin of vagina will be washed away/ damage during intercourse process and it will immediately grow new skin .. in anal the new skin of anal when washed away during intercourse process will not grow new skin for ever and this will exposed this anal part to germs that passed by through it and its how later on he or she will suffer HIV.

What should be a Muslim opinion on this??
Anyone who believes homosexuality is permissible, even if he does not practice it himself, is, in Muslim opinion, a non-believer. He does not believe in the teachings of Allah, his Prophet, sallallahu alayhe wa sallam, and the Muslims. He has not believed any of the verses and ahadeeth which prohibit homosexuality and describe it as one of the greatest sins of all. Anyone who rejects even one verse of the Qur’an is agreed to be a non-believer. In this case, the verses and ahadeeth prohibiting the practice of homosexuality are plenty.

Punishment For Fornication

Allah Almighty says in the Quran:

“The fornicatress and the fornicator, flog each of them with a hundred stripes. Let not pity withhold you in their case, in a punishment prescribed by Allaah, if you believe in Allaah and the Last Day. And let a party of the believers witness their punishment” [al-Noor 24:2]

“And those who accuse chaste women and then do not produce four witnesses – lash them with eighty lashes and do not accept from them testimony ever after. And those are the defiantly disobedient, ” [An-Noor 24:4]

1.Hudd punishment
– The fixed punishment – is prescribed by Allah for those acts which Allah has made haram and this punishment is by hitting or by killing.
2.The fixed punishment for fornication (consensual sexual intercourse between two persons not married to each other ) is flogging a 100 strikes. As for adultery ( voluntary sexual intercourse between a married man and someone other than his wife or between a married woman and someone other than her husband) – the married person would be stoned to death as commanded by Prophet Muhammad (s)
3.The punishment is applicable when the man has coitus with the woman. Any relationship not inclusive of coitus does not mandate the prescribed fixed punishment.
4.The punishment is applicable when the act of coitus is witnessed by four male adults who are muslim, sensible, just and free and who testify in the court. Seeing two people together or nude or in some inappropriate position does not mandate the hudd punishment unless the act of coitus is eye witnessed.
5.The punishment is also applicable if the fornicator or the fornicatress confesses to his or her crime four times.
6.100 flogs can be inflicted in one day or over a period of days depending on the health of the one being punished.
7.No judge can increase or decrease the punishment
8.Punishment has to be delivered publicly in front of a small group of Muslims – minimum three and maximum 1000 Muslims should witness this event.
9.Flogging should be inflicted with a leather whip which is neither totally new nor very old. Flogging with a stick is not allowed
10.Flogging should be on the fleshy part of the body only affecting the skin and avoiding the head and the sensitive areas. Flogging has to spread over – and should not be done in one place so as to make the flesh come out. A man is flogged in a standing position while a woman should be flogged in a sitting position.
Accepting this punishment is conditional to Emaan – If you feel pity for the fornicator or fornicatress - that may lead to not approving the flogging punishment then you don’t believe in Allah and the Akhira ( You leave the fold of Islam)

Ibn Mas’ood said: It is not prescribed in our religion to make the offender lie down or to tie him up or remove his clothing. The companions of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) flogged offenders but there is no report that any of them made the offender lie down or tied him up or removed his clothing.
For People in Non-Muslim Countries:
No one should carry out the hadd punishments without the permission of the ruler. If there is no ruler who rules according to sharee’ah then it is not permissible for the ordinary people to carry out the hadd punishments. Whoever does that is sinning, because carrying out the hadd punishments requires examining the matter and requires shar’i knowledge in order to know the conditions of proof.
