Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,
As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.
(May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)
One of our brothers/sisters has asked
this question:
Assalam-o-alaikum.
Hope you are absolutely fine.
I am sending you this email as a very private and confidential message.
I became a homosexual years ago and I started taking interest in boys. I knew
it was absolutely wrong but I could not stop myself.
I am living in a country where such kind of non-sense (gay marriage) is not
allowed.
Now, I am a married man and you can not imagine how much depressed I am. Two
months have been passed but I could not make sexual relation with my wife. The
main reason is, I have no feelings toward women.
Before getting marriad, I use to pray Allah Almighty to change my mentality, so
that I would be able to become a normal straight man but nothing happened.
Now, every night I tried to change myself. After every salat, I pray Allah
Almighty to change my mentality but nothing happens.
I really don`t know what to do?. I got married only to stay away from the sins
which can be happened due to my gay mentality but I think I did a wrong
decision.
I think when I knew that I don`t have feelings towards women then why did I get
married. I did absolutely wrong to my wife, as well as to my parents.
I have heard that there are some Ayahs of the Holy Quran which cures a
physically/ mentally sickness. I don`t know whether you can help me or not but
I request you that if you can help me in this matter then please tell me what
should I do?
Sometimes, I really think to commit suicide but I have not yet done anything
like this because I know it is Haram in Islam. Please help me.

Answer:
How to abstain
homosexuality sin
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His
help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide,
and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear
witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear
witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His
Messengers.
Allah says in the Holy Quran
Chapter 7 Surah Aaraf verses 80-82:
And We sent

Chapter 11 Surah Hud verses 82-83:
Accordingly, when the time of the execution of Our
Judgement came (for the people of
Homosexuality is absolutely
forbidden in Islam. It is an abomination and a grave sin in the eyes of Allah,
and the gravity of this sin can be determined by the punishment Allah and His
Messenger (saws) have prescribed for this abomination: death in the life of
this world and eternal punishment in the Hereafter.
This deed is an evil and immoral
deviation of man, and is not even found in the lower forms of animate life! Contrary to the popular belief held by the
ungodly and impious societies we unfortunately live in today, homosexuality is
neither natural nor a disease….but a deviation of one’s nature and an absolute
abomination in the Sight of the Creator.
Beloved brother in Islam, what is good is that you realize
that homosexuality is a grave sin and an absolute abomination in the Sight of
your Creator, and absolutely and categorically forbidden in Islam. If you sincerely fear Allah and wish to amend
your conduct, rest assured that Allah Subhanah will find a way out for you.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 65 Surah Talaq verse

And for those who fear Allah,
He (ever) prepares a way out
Your Question: I
have heard that there are some Ayahs of the Holy Quran which cures a
physically/ mentally sickness. I don`t know whether you can help me or not but
I request you that if you can help me in this matter then please tell me what
should I do?
Respected brother, if the recitation of a few Aayahs or
Verses from the Glorious Quran could cure a physical or mental ailment or even
a bad habit or the immoral and unlawful deviations of man…..then the Prophet
(saws) would have read it upon the sinners and there would have been no sin or
sickness or ailments in this world!
Respected brother, the things that will indeed help you
stop your immoral and unlawful deviation is first and foremost the seeking of
sincere ‘taubah’ and repentance from your Lord for your past transgressions,
and the development of ‘taqwa’ or constant God-consiousness.
Whatever deeds one might have done in one’s past, if one
turns to Allah Subhanah in sincere Taubah and seeks forgiveness, Allah Subhanah
has promised in the Holy Quran that He will forgive all the sins of such a
believer, even if one had committed the
gravest sin of all: ‘Shirk’! Not only
that, our Lord is so Merciful and Generous, that He not only will forgive all
the sins of that repentant believer, He will change their evil deeds done into
good deeds!
The conditions or ways to seek sincere Taubah or
Repentance from the Merciful Lord are:
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 39 Surah Zumur verses
53-54:
(O Prophet) say: “O My servants who have wronged their own
souls….Do not despair of Allah’s Mercy!
Surely, Allah forgives all
sins. He indeed is the All
Forgiving, All Merciful. Return to your Lord and submit to Him before
the scourge overtakes you; for then you
may get no help from anywhere.”
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 3 Surah Ale Imraan
verse 135-136:
Allah likes such good people very much, who, if ever they commit a base deed or wrong
their own soul by the commission of a sin,
remember Allah instantly, and ask
for forgiveness from Him for their shortcomings. For who,
but Allah, can forgive sins? (And Allah loves those) who do not knowingly
persist in the wrongs they did. These
will be rewarded with forgiveness from Allah,
and with Gardens beneath which canals flow, and they will reside therein forever! How excellent is the reward of those who do
good deeds!
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 25 Surah Furqaan
verses 63-71:
The (true) servants of the Merciful are those who walk
humbly on the earth. When the ignorant
people behave insolently towards them,
they say, “Peace to you”; (And
those) who pass their nights in prostrating themselves and standing before
their Lord and pray, “O our Lord, save
us from the torment of Hell, for its
torment is killing! It is an evil
abode, and an evil resting place”. (And those) who, when they spend are neither extravagant, nor miserly,
but keep the golden mean between the two extremes. (And those) who do not invoke any god but
Allah Alone, nor kill a soul
unjustly, which Allah has forbidden, nor commit adultery… He who does this shall
be punished for his sin, and his torment
shall be doubled on the Day of Resurrection,
and he shall abide in a state of ignominy; EXCEPT THE ONE WHO MAY HAVE REPENTED (AFTER
THOSE SINS), AND HAVE BELIEVED AND DONE
RIGHTEOUS DEEDS. For then, Allah will change his evil deeds into good
deeds, and He is very Forgiving and
Merciful. In fact, one who repents and does righteous
deeds, returns to Allah as one rightly
should!
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 6 Surah Anaam verse
54:
When those come to you who believe in Our Signs, say: "Peace be on you! Your Lord had inscribed for Himself (the rule
of) Mercy. Verily if any of you did evil
in ignorance, and thereafter repented
and amended (his conduct), Lo! He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 2357 Narrated
by Abdullah ibn Mas'ud
Allah's Messenger (saws) said, "He who repents of a
sin is like him who has committed no sin."
Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 2338 Narrated
by Abdullah ibn Umar
Allah's Messenger (saws) said, "Allah accepts a
servant's repentance (taubah) till he gives up his spirit in death."
Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 2339 Narrated
by Abu Sa'id
Allah's Messenger (saws) said that the Shaytaan said,
"By Thy Might, my Lord, I shall continue to lead Thy servants astray as
long as their spirits are in their bodies!" The Lord, Who is Great and Glorious, replied,
"By My Might, Glory and Exalted Station, I shall continue to pardon them
as long as they ask My forgiveness!"
The one and only thing which has the power to stop one
from falling into perpetual sin is what is known as ‘taqwa’ in the Glorious
Quran! It is only and only this ‘taqwa’
or the constant remembrance or fear of the Lord which has the capacity and
tenacity to enable one to abstain from transgressing the prescribed boundaries
of the Lord Most Majestic, Most Supreme.
This state of consciousness of standing in the Presence of
the Majestic and Supreme Lord One Inevitable Day is what Allah calls ‘taqwa’ or
piety in His Quran; and it is this ‘taqwa’ which will inspire you all your life
towards doing deeds that would earn you the Eternal Pleasure and Good Will of
your Lord, and it is this same ‘taqwa’ which will inspire you to abstain from
doing anything which would bring about His Unbearable Wrath and Anger.
Taqwa means to abstain from doing anything that would
bring about the Wrath and Displeasure of the Lord All-Mighty; and to do deeds
of righteousness which are commanded by Allah and His Messenger (saws). Taqwa is to live every moment of ones life
with the solemn belief that One Inevitable Day every soul will be brought forth
in the Presence of the Majestic Lord to give a full accounting of every one of
his deeds. Taqwa is to determine before
doing anything whether the Lord Most Merciful will be Pleased or Dis-pleased
with the deed; if one determines that the Lord will be pleased with the deed,
he must do it wholeheartedly; and if one determines that the deed would bring
about the displeasure and Wrath of Allah Subhanah, he must immediately abstain
from it. Taqwa is to live every moment
of one’s life consciously striving to do deeds which would earn him the
Pleasure and Good Will of the Lord Most Merciful, and abstain from doing deeds
which would bring about His displeasure and Wrath.
If one studies the Glorious Quran, one would realize that
more often than not, wherever Allah Subhanah Promises His slaves the
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 3 Surah Ale Imraan
verse 133:
133 Be
quick in the race for forgiveness from your Lord and for a Garden whose width
is that (of the whole) of the heavens and of the earth; prepared for the ‘Muttaqeen’.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 50 Surah Qaaf verses
31-33:
31 And the
Garden will be brought nigh to the ‘Muttaqeen’, no more a thing
distant.
32 (A
voice will say:) "This is what was promised for you, for everyone who
turned (to Allah) in sincere repentance who kept (his law).
33 "Who
feared (Allah) Most Gracious unseen and brought a heart turned in devotion (to
Him):
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 52 Surah Tur verses
17-18:
17 As to
the ‘Muttaqeen’ they will be in Gardens and in Happiness
18 Enjoying
the (Bliss) which their Lord hath bestowed on them and their Lord shall deliver
them from the Penalty of the Fire.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 68 Surah Qalam verse
34:
34 Verily
for the ‘Muttaqeen’ are Gardens of Delight in the Presence of
their Lord.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 16 Surah Nahl verse
31:
31 Gardens
of Eternity which they will enter: beneath them flow (pleasant) rivers: they
will have therein all that they wish: thus doth Allah reward the ‘Muttaqeen’
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 25 Surah Furqan verses
15-16:
15 Say:
"Is that (fire) better or the eternal Gardens promised to the ‘Muttaqeen’?
For them that is a reward as well as a goal (of attainment).
16 "For
them there will be therein all that they wish for: they will dwell (there) for
aye: a promise to be prayed for from thy Lord."
Thus, in conclusion, my dear and beloved brother in Islam
the absolute best way to bring about this reformation in our hearts is to get
close to the Remembrance of our Lord Who Created us; and the best way to
Remember our Lord is to read, understand, obey, follow and completely submit
ourselves to His Glorious Message which He Himself revealed for our guidance,
The One and Only Glorious and Noble Quran!
Allah is our witness brother, one who sincerely submits
himself to the Glorious Message of their Lord will find that his whole life
will become a life spent in the worship and remembrance of His Lord; his
prayers, his fasts, his zakat, his Hajj, his work, his relationship with fellow
man, in fact, his every single deed will be aligned to earn the Pleasure and
Good Will of His Lord Most Gracious, Most Merciful …..and it is this same
‘submission’ which will inspire one to stay away from every single deed which
would bring about or ignite the Wrath and Anger and Punishments of the Lord
Most Majestic, Most Supreme.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only
due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me
alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is
the Only Source of Strength.
Your brother and
well wisher in Islam,
Burhan
