			Hi.
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:06
			My name is Shanice, and
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:08
			I'm a student,
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:09
			studying business.
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:12
			I'm actually curious about
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:13
			LGBT,
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:17
			which refers to the community of lesbians, gays,
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:19
			bisexual and transsexuals.
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			So what Islam's
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:25
			point of view of this, issue because,
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28
			I used to believe that we have to
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:32
			accept people regardless of their sexual orientation, so
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:34
			after I study some
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:39
			information about Islam, I know that Islam rejects
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:40
			this. So
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:42
			I want to know further about this issue.
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:43
			Thank you.
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			Sister, the question of what is the Islamic
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:47
			view on homosexuals,
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:49
			on gays
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:50
			and lesbians.
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:53
			The ruling is that Allah says in the
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:53
			Quran,
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56
			chapter number 7 was number 81. Do you
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			prefer men in preference to women? That means
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			telling to men that do you prefer men
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:01
			rather than women?
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:02
			Homosexuality
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:04
			is private in Islam.
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:05
			Regarding,
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:07
			what about people who are homosexual?
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:09
			There's an article that came a few years
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:10
			back. Homosexuality
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:11
			is genetic.
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:14
			And when this article came, people asked me
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:17
			in the question and session. If homosexuality
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			is genetic, then who's to blame?
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			The person is not to blame. It is
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:22
			already God. Correct?
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:24
			Later on, it was found that this is
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:27
			totally false, and the person who propounded this
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:29
			himself was a homosexual.
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:32
			What today psychology tell us, that when a
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:33
			person
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:35
			goes beyond the limit,
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38
			he keeps on wanting things which is unnatural.
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41
			So today you see in the western world,
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:42
			there is obscenity.
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:45
			Like my son said, the woman's talk of
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:48
			liberalization is nothing but a disguise form
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:51
			of exploitation of body, deprivation of a soul,
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:54
			and degradation of honor. The western society claiming
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:56
			to uplift the woman had degraded her to
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:57
			concubine.
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:01
			To mysticism and society butterflies with the hidden
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:02
			behind the colorful skin of art and culture.
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:04
			In today's society,
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:05
			you have advertisement.
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:08
			In a motorbike advertisement,
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:11
			invariably, there's a woman. Now how many women
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:11
			ride motorcycles?
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14
			Percentage of a very little, do you see
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:15
			a woman in that?
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:18
			And I was told of a very famous
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:19
			ad of BMW.
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:21
			I was told
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24
			in front of the BMW car, a woman
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			is standing in a bikini and the ad
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:29
			reads test drive her now. Who, the girl
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:29
			or the car?
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:32
			So they're selling their daughters.
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:34
			They are selling their mothers,
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:37
			And they're saying that women are liberated.
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:41
			What happens that when you go beyond limits,
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:44
			all religion say that if you want to
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:45
			have relationship, you marry.
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:47
			Correct?
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:51
			According to American statistics, America doesn't agree in
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:52
			Islam. Islam says you can have more than
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:54
			one wife. That's a different question.
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:57
			In America, the American side is telling us
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:57
			an average
		
00:02:58 --> 00:02:58
			American,
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:01
			before he settles down with a permanent life
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:03
			partner, he has 8 different section partners.
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:06
			Some may be having 2, 10, 20. Average
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:06
			is 8.
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:10
			8 different sexual partners, both they settle down
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:11
			with 1.
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:15
			So they are disregarding the law of the
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:16
			creator.
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:19
			Do you know according to American statistics,
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:22
			every 12 person you meet has committed *.
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:23
			* means
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:26
			having sexual relationship, brother and sister,
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:28
			son and mother,
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:29
			father and daughter.
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:32
			It's absolutely nonsense
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:34
			because they get so open, etcetera,
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:37
			they deviate from the natural part. So they
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:38
			want things which are different.
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			So when they get so much used to
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:43
			it, having heterosexuality,
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:44
			they start homosexuality.
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:47
			It is not genetic. It is based
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:50
			on the thing which you do. Unnatural things.
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:51
			Psychologically,
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:53
			you want something different then you go to
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:54
			homosexuality.
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:56
			So if you stop
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:59
			this deviation from the path which is given
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:00
			guidance in the Quran,
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:02
			and other religions,
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:05
			what do you realize? This will stop.
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:08
			And I remember I'd been to Canada
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:09
			in 1996
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:12
			first time. A man kissing a man.
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:13
			And Canada
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:15
			has legalized
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:16
			marriage
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:17
			of gays.
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:22
			Now, all this is coming because that they're
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:23
			waiting from the truth.
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:27
			And today's psychologist tell us that a person
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:28
			who has
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:29
			no extramarital
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:30
			*
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:33
			enjoys the best married life.
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:37
			You deviate from your normal thing,
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:38
			and this is what happens.
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:41
			So that is the reason if you follow
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:43
			the commandment of almighty God, all these things
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:44
			will not happen. Therefore, in Islam,
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:45
			homosexuality,
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:50
			gays, liberalism, everything is private. Hope answer the
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:50
			question.
