Question

Right now i am a non practicing catholic male. i am still young and very interested in

Answer 1

Only two way........  Continue what you are....

Or convert to Islam by quitting that habbit..

Answer 2

You should know that homosexuality is a prohibited major sin in Islaam, so I advise you to give up this practice and realize that Islaam calls to obedience to Allaah and to worship Allaah alone. And Allaah has prohibited homosexuality.

However what is more important is that you learn about Islaam and the beliefs of Islaam, if you practice homosexuality it is a major sin, but if you commit disbelief in Allaah then that is far worse.

I suggest you start by reading the articles on:

www.islaam.ca

www.athaar.org

www.almuttaqoon.com

www.spubs.com

Answer 3

Well I'm A muslim. Here's what I suggest: maybe you should convert but NEVER practise homosexual acts in your life. That way, Allah will forgive you

Answer 4

I congratulate you for you decision. Allah does not love homosexuality since it is against the very purpose of the creation of males and females -- reproduction. Homosexuality is discouraged and disliked throughout the Qur'an by mentioning the story of the people of prophet Lot (pbuh).

ADDITION:

OK, first of all, if you are born homosexual, you're not blamed for it. I mean, those are born hermaphrodite, are not blamed for it. They might have a genetic test to determine the dominant s*x and undergo a s*x change operation to the dominant s*x, you can ask for this one from a scholar.

As for those who act homosexually, this isn't allowed. Homosexuality goes against the very principle of reproduction. God condemns this acts in the story of the people of prophet Lot (pbuh):

007.080 We also (sent) Lut: He said to his people: "Do ye commit lewdness such as no people in creation (ever) committed before you?

007.081 "For ye practise your lusts on men in preference to women : ye are indeed a people transgressing beyond bounds."

007.082 And his people gave no answer but this: they said, "Drive them out of your city: these are indeed men who want to be clean and pure!"

007.083 But we saved him and his family, except his wife: she was of those who legged behind.

007.084 And we rained down on them a shower (of brimstone): Then see what was the end of those who indulged in sin and crime!

Al-Qur'an, 007.080-084 (Al-Araf [The Heights])

We don't have any authentic narrations suggesting a penalty for homosexuality. There are two WEAK narrations which are not taken as a basis for such an important decision -- taking a person's life.

You might benefit from this fatwa on how to give up homosexuality:

Peace.

Answer 5

You should convert. Try your best to avoid doing this action. In Islam homosexuality is a MAJOR sin but the person who does major sins is still a Muslim.

So its better for you to convert in any case.

Answer 6

Being "g*y" in Islam is not a sin acting upon it is. Just like sodomy is a sin its a sin for man and wife and its a sin for a man and a man. Your desire to be with men would be your Jihad (personal struggle). We all have personal struggles of a sexual nature or otherwise. Islam for EVERYONE is about following and submitting to the Will of Allah. Someone may have the desire to drink or take drugs, someone may have the desire to sleep with his brothers wife, someone may have the desire to steal from his boss. There are many things that are desired but its how you react to those desires that count. And that is the same for Homosexuality.  You would not be the first Muslim with those feelings and you wont be the last. Your intentions are what count. I suggest you read the Quran speak to other Muslims and other reverts ask 1 million questions there is nothing in Islam that is taboo to talk about. Insha Allah you find the true path.

Peace to you...

Answer 7

Assalamu Xalaikum brother, congratulations on researching islam and contemplating reverting to it. I say let Allah (swt) judge you himself. If you feel Islam is the way then go for it. As to people that say homosexuality is a sin, ok then it is, but how about drinking? isn't drinking a sin? isn't having sexual relations before marriage a sin? I know many muslims who do these things and many other that are considered sins, including eating Pork. And this is not all about Muslims, but in any religion, plus to those bashing on islam about homosexuality, it is not like the christian church thinks it is acceptable, the only reason why some churches are accepting g**s is to win over more converts since their numbers are decreasing.  Allah is most merciful and forgiving, only he can judge.

Answer 8

Islam forbids homosexuality, so if you want to convert to Islam, please stop what you are doing right now.

Answer 9

Well in Islam the sin is not actually BEING g*y but having homosexual relations with another male, that said; if you can remain celibate for life then being g*y won't be considered a sin.  Don't listen to the other poster, homosexuality is not a habit or a condition, you're born g*y or straight.

Just do a lot of research before you convert to any religion, and make sure you know everything you could possibly know before converting.

Answer 10

being a g*y is even prohibited in catholism you have to choose either your way or quit and convert to islam because in islam it is the biggest sin men sleeping with men.

Answer 11

If you have any self-respect for yourself as a g*y man, you wouldn't convert to Islam. Islam is completely against homosexuality and views it as being one of the biggest sins. As a Muslim, you'd be required to deny and repress your homosexuality.

Answer 12

What most people don't understand is there are g*y guys and girls in every religion. No religion is perfect, there are g*y's/l***o's everywhere, there just normal everyday people.

Everyone has there own life to live, along as you believe in the religion nothing else should matter. No one person is perfect.

Answer 13

stop being homo ...bro there r supposed to be no homos in Islam...sry...guess u gotta get over ur homosexuality first and remove it from you.......Man there r lovely ladies all around u..why look for the same gender lol

btw, I love the top contributor's answer in the second answer. That's exactly what u shud do. Either stay homo or quit it before accepting Islam.

Answer 14

Brother stop fooling yourself and trying to convince yourself that you are "weak" and that this is natural and we dont know what you are "feeling".

Blah bla.

Make a decision and go according to it, nothing is impossible.

Answer 15

welcome to Islam, the religion of purity, straightness, love and peace.

first to do brother is to get rid of the life of g**s, because straightness is one of Islam's fundamentals, from your experience, do you think g**s life is stable?

then brother, i recommend you to visit any mosque you want, and attend any talk or lecture given about Islam, so you can know more about this religion, and you could ask the Imam there, and he will guide you inshAllah.

good luck brother.
