what is homo***uality, ? here is one logical answer
Islam teaches that homo***ual acts are sinful and punishable by God.
This teaching comes not from human beings, but from the Creator of all
humans. God tells us in His own words how He punished the people of
Lot for their homo***ual behaviour.
The story of the prophet Lot, on whom be peace, finds mention in
several Qur'anic passages (see especially Qur'an 26:160-175). From
these passages we learn that God saved Lot and the righteous ones of
his family, and rained on the rest a shower of brimstone, so they were
utterly destroyed. This is mentioned in the Qur'an not only for the
sake of information, but mainly to serve as a warning to anyone who
dares to repeat such acts.
Muslims believe that every human action leads to consequences. Good
actions entail good results, and evil actions entail evil
consequences. Some of these consequences may not become known for many
years after a certain action. The consequences of some actions will
become manifest only after death when one enters a new, everlasting
life. To understand this point, consider the fact that often people
contract a deadly disease which is diagnosed many years after the
fact. A common mistake among humans is that if they do not see any
negative consequences for their actions they consider their actions
harmless. Human experience has taught us that a source of superior
knowledge can be of tremendous benefit to humans. In the past, doctors
unwittingly gave blood tainted with the AIDS virus to thousands of
patients. If a source of superior knowledge had warned us beforehand,
and we paid attention to that warning, we could have saved many people
from this deadly disease.
God, the source of all knowledge, warns us of His punishment if people
perpetrate homo***ual acts. Let us pay attention and learn the easy
way.Some will say that a person may be born with homo***ual
tendencies. We say that everyone is a free agent. God lays before us
two paths and has given us knowledge of where these paths lead. One is
the path to which the devil calls us. We must avoid that. Another is
the path leading to paradise. We must stick to that one. Everyone
experiences evil prompting from time to time. We must resist those
with all our might. If one feels a tendency to do something that God
prohibits, he or she should seek help from a community of loving,
caring, believers who would understand his or her=7F difficulty and help
him or her overcome it.
A common ploy of the devil is to convince people that they cannot
avoid sin. Then they do not even try. But God promises that the devil
can have no lasting power over those who sincerely seek God (see
Qur'an 15:42).
Finally, our bodies are given to us in trust from God. One should not
use his or her body contrary to the user guide provided by its Maker.
Consenting adults also need God's consent.
