(The Angels) said: ‘O Loot! We are the Messengers of your Rabb.
Never will they (the homosexual people of his nation) reach (apprehend) You. So, leave with your family during the night, except your wife. The punishment which will overtake them (the homosexuals) will also overtake her. The morning has been fixed for them (to be Eliminated by the Divine Chastisement). Is the morning not soon enough?
(Qur’aan, Surah Hood, Aayat 81)
Then when Our command (of Punishment) came, We turned the land upside down, and we rainecd incessantly on them brimstones that were (miraculously) marked by your Rabb.”
(Qur’aan, Surah Hood, Aayats 82 and 83)
There are many similar Qur’aanic verses which vividly explain the terrible Punishment of Allah Ta’ala which had obliterated the people of Nabi Loot (Alayhis salaam) for their unnatural sins of homosexuality. The Dead Sea region is a living testimony for the Divine Wrath which had settled on the people of Nabi Loot (Alayhis salaam).
The following is the Naseehat of a sister on this issue of topical importance.
THE LGBTQ MATTER
By Millennial Muslimah
As salaam u alaikum wa Rahmatullah
I have received numerous queries regarding my silence on the LGBTQ matter. People want to know my stance. I have actively stayed away because of the noise. There is good work being done by ulema so I don’t feel the need to be vocal.
However after last week’s tweets by Jamiat and the subsequent backlash, I feel there is a need to put on record the need for balanced dialogue. We can no longer keep our heads in the sand regarding the spread of same sex attraction within the Muslim community. It IS happening. We must address the issue with wisdom.
ADVISE WITH TRUTH AND ADVISE WITH PATIENCE
We denounce in the strongest terms the actions of Qawm-e-Lut (Alayhis salaam) as well as those who support such actions.
I have actively avoided this issue, however the tweets posted by Jamiat KZN last week and the following backlash has highlighted the need to have a balanced conversation.
This movement is growing exponentially. They are going all out! Their marketing strategy can be described as aggressive at best. If we consider the manner behind their roll out we arrive at the sickening conclusion that it is directed primarily at impressionable youth, Our next generation!
It is obvious from the rainbow colours to having men in sparkly dresses reading to kids, to representation in kids movies. We should not be so blinded by the glitter and sequins that we fail to see the facts before our eyes.
As Muslims we MUST BE PROACTIVE! Our stance on this matter MUST come from within our Deen. Those who fail to realise we are in the fight of our lives for our identity are fast asleep. It is preposterous for our stance as Muslims to simply be a REACTION to whatever they are spitting out! Do You think their think tanks didn’t anticipate that? Infact, they are counting on it to create more attention, positive or negative, doesn’t matter. What are the facts here? This IS a reality!
The amount of noise being created has a PURPOSE. whether is pro or anti is of little consequence. All of this noise is to create a buzzing in the background of the minds of the next generation. All of this just to plant a seed. Why? Because all it takes is for ONE THOUGHT to get the conscious attention of a child, the rest is left to shaytaani waswasah. Children by nature are curious and have vivid imaginations. They act out their fantasies as they go through different phases. All it takes is one spark to pique their curiosity then waswasah can fan the flames! Neurons that fire together, wire together… It is THAT SIMPLE to condition someone into something they’re not! The mind of a child is soft and pliable, like putty, so beware who is given access to mould it. Just because a child is going through a phase, doesn’t mean they should live their entire lives trapped in that phase.
This is why we should have a strong stance from within our DEEN. Those who think there is no place for these conversations are sadly mistaken and should educate themselves instead of contributing to the noise. Those who find themselves in this situation should be able to find help and answers within our Deen, to navigate their way through it.
We must act with wisdom. If we blindly denounce everything,we will be denouncing things that Shari’ah has made allowances for.
Our Deen recognises the reality of Khuntha (hermaphrodites). There are rules of fiqh that have been specified for this situation. Besides this, there are psychiatric disorders like GID and Gender Dysphoria among others. There is also the recognition of those who’s Fitrah has been corrupted as a result of abuse or grooming! These are REAL ISSUES that are lost when we are distracted by the noise!
There is excellent work being done in this field. Let’s get educated so we can contribute.
Remember the Hadith when the horse of a Sahabi tripped and he cursed shaytaan?
What did Nabi saw advise? Do not curse shaytaan for he becomes as big as a house, rather praise Allah then shaytaan becomes as small as a fly.
Instead of cursing the devils involved in this movement, we should rather provide wholesome and useful information that equip our kids with talking points so that they are not swept away in this tsunami of filth.
It is incredibly naive to think we can prevent them from being exposed to these evils, but we CAN equip them with the tools to deal with these issues whenever and wherever they encounter them.
We know Iblees promised to make man change the Creation of Allah and that Nabi (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) cursed the man who dressed like a woman and Vice Versa.
There is valid reasoning behind why our pious predecessors regarded a young unbearded youth more dangerous than a female. Some ulema refused to be alone with such males even though it is not haraam. While attraction to the opposite sex is according to our Fitrah, attraction to the same goes against it (our Fitrah and Islam). No one should consider themselves immune. History will attest to those individuals who never gave in to their urges and gained wilaayat through fighting their desires. We are the masters of the desires we suppress, while we become slaves to the desires we give in to.
There is a place within our Deen for this conversation. This can ONLY happen if we are wise and level headed enough to have the difficult conversations. If we scare them off with hate and disgust, where will they go? Their friends?The internet?
We are serving up our children to the enemy.
Besides the individuals who may be having confusing thoughts, there are parents who are scared and confused, who need support and counselling from a Deeni perspective. They need to be equipped to deal with this issue, just as the parents who deal with kids in porn addiction or teenage pregnancy. May Allah grant ease and Aafiyah.
The reason those caught up in this field have a much higher degree of Mental Health issues is that this lifestyle goes against one’s Fitrah (innate disposition) and the Law of Allah Ta’ala, resulting in resistance from the soul. This manifests as moderate to severe mental health issues. These individuals are then medicated to the point of numbness. Shutting off those feelings and silencing the reproachful Nafs Lawwamah!
If we are not going to have THESE conversations, we will be forced to have conversations about self-harm, substance abuse and suicide while our youth struggle to come to terms with these challenges. Those whose souls have been distanced from their Fitrah require guidance and advice on how to find their way back. They must be steered back with Wisdom and patience. Many are scared, lost, ashamed, confused and looking for answers This obviously does not apply to those who rebelliously choose to remain in their sin, forcing others to accept the depravity!
If we fail to be proactive, remember, society is waiting eagerly for the opportunity to condition our youth.
Every individual that they manage to hook with this movement means a patient for life! Hormones, therapy, surgeries… Big Pharma smiling all the way to the Bank!
Which is worse? An individual who is attracted to the same gender, knows it’s haraam and does everything to fight it? Understanding that this is their test and realises their salvation lies in remaining steadfast on the Deen or an individual who doesn’t have this attraction to the same gender but doesn’t see anything wrong with it and feels that people should be allowed to do what they desire and love whomsoever they please?
The act of Qawm-e-Lut (Alayhis salaam) is haraam, but normalising and justifying it is Kufr and one cannot remain a Muslim.
These are trying times we live in, we should attempt to be the safe spaces for our children so that they find it easy to come to us with questions so we can steer them back to the path of righteousness. They won’t have to go to their ill-informed friends or the internet to seek clarity that will lead them astray. Life is difficult enough as it is and our children will be faced with colossal challenges in the time to come. Let us not be the ones adding to that burden.
May Allah grant us the understanding and wisdom to deal with the issues we face in society. May Allah protect us and our progeny from falling into the traps of shaytaan.” (End of the Sister’s dissertation)
COMMENT
This LGBTQ is indeed a matter of colossal Fitnah since it is being vigorously and vehemently being propagated by the agents of Shaitaan. In this league of Shaitaan, the governments are the worst offenders. In the U.K. if parents tells his children that homosexuality is haraam, he becomes liable for arrest and his children are cruelly confiscated – taken away from their parents and assigned to kuffaar homes. In such a scenario it devolves as a Waajib obligation for Muslims to make Hijrat (Migrate) from that evil country of the satanists.
The best method of guarding our children against this shaitaani onslaught is to keep them away from public schools. They should be schooled at home, and there must be greater effort and emphasis on Islamic ta’leem and Akhlaaqitarbiyat. It is imperative for Muslims as a community to make demands to the government to exempt our children from the shaitaanoyat of their sex-education. We must agitate and protest. We cannot afford to be complacent.
There is no longer freedom of religion in this country. What the constitution says in this regard is farcical. Every judge of a court will interpret the constitution to serve the concepts of Iblees. Muslims should understand the deluge of fitnah which is destroying the Akhlaaq and Imaan of Muslims. Our safety is in submitting to the Sunnah to the best of our ability, and to repose trust in Allah Ta’ala.
If Muslims become obedient unto Allah Ta’ala, He will create the circumstances for our protection and safety. Currently all the evil forces , both human and devil, are lined up against true Muslims. We have in our midst many munaafiq molvis and sheikhs who are peddling the wares of the Satanists. Beware of them. There is no difficulty in understanding who these Satanist molvis and sheikhs are.
