Zakir Naik – Why Is Homosexuality Condemned In Islam

			Main doubt on homosexuality, or like, is it prohibited in Islam? And why? So? Because, like I had,
like, for the past five years, I've been with so many homosexuals. It's like, I mean, their feelings
that they have for the for the same * or whatever it is. It's so true. I mean, it's like the same
kind of pain, what we might feel for, for maybe our husbands or whoever it is. If it's wrong, why is
it wrong with the question that What does Islam say about homosexuality? And if it's wrong, What is
wrong? Allah says in the Quran in Surah Surah, chapter number 17, was committed to that come not
close to adultery for adultery, then evil opening other routes to evil.
		

			Besides that, Allah says in Surah, chapter number seven, that telling two men that do you practice
your lust after men in preference to woman that means homosexuality is prohibited in Islam, in the
Quran, because Almighty God made the human beings. Allah says in the Quran in surah, room, chapter
number 30, verse number 21, that he has put love between the hearts of husband and wife, Almighty
God has made the human being in such a way that they love the opposite *.
		

			Generally, naturally, no human being loved the same *.
		

			I'm talking about the love, which is required husband and wife, not the platonic love, which you
have between your brothers and your sisters. Now, initially, there was a research which said
		

			that homosexuality is genetic.
		

			So during question answer time, somebody asked me
		

			the way you asking, if homosexuality is genetic,
		

			then how is that you mean me to blame?
		

			It came from his parents. So why is he to blame? Like you're saying, if someone loves someone else,
so why should he be blamed?
		

			I said, this is a research.
		

			This is a hypothesis. It's not a fact. And later on, we came to know that this hypothesis was wrong.
		

			And the person who propounded this hypothesis himself was homosexual.
		

			So homosexuality is not genetic. It comes today, science tells us, how do homosexuals
		

			evolve? Because what Almighty God has given permission for a human being what's permitted, you get
married, do nica, you can have * with your wife. And Islam says that while doing having * with
your wife is also worshipping Allah.
		

			Because you're preventing the Haram.
		

			You're not going outside the marital bond, to satisfy your urges that Islam today, science tells us
today, research tells us that those people who have multiple life partners outside the marriage
bond, as compared to those who only have with the falses, they enjoy the sexual life much better
than the others.
		

			And what happens today, when you get tired with it, you go to the Western countries, you have
mistresses. 510 20, no problem. You start then doing unnatural things.
		

			When you start doing unnatural things, you don't follow the law of the Creator, and you try and
satisfy your urges in the wrong way. The moment you keep on doing the wrong way, then you keep on
going beyond what is natural. And that's how the person becomes homosexual. It is non genetic.
		

			Because you go beyond the limits of what Almighty God has permitted you.
		

			You try other things. You try unnatural things and find new land up
		

			by saying you do no longer enjoy having * with the opposite *. So you have * with the same *
		

			sister, because they have broken the law of Almighty God, and they do unnatural things. That's how
psychologically they become a homosexual. So but naturally, if you break the law of Almighty God,
that's totally wrong. And that's how it lands, the person being homosexual, so they are to blame.
And Islam prohibits homosexuality, even Christianity prohibit homosexuality, most of the religions
against homosexuals. It's now the Western countries are saying because in democracy, whatever
majority says you win majority wins in Islam.
		

			It doesn't mean that wins, the two wins.
		

			I remember when I had gone to Canada in 1996. The first time I went to give a lecture. In the front
page, I saw a man kissing a man,
		

			a man giving a man. And it says that they have married each other.
		

			Today in western countries, if I speak against homosexuality, it's a crime.
		

			It's a crime.
		

			So what we realize that previously,
		

			previously, all the countries homosexuality was a crime.
		

			Then some Western countries like Canada gave legal sanction to it today, most of the Western
countries, homosexuality is legal. Even India is a country where I come from there thinking that
thinking to make it legal.
		

			So what we realize what is truth is truth. Majority doesn't mean what is wrong is wrong. And in
Islam, and most of the major religions of the world, homosexuality is a sin. It's a crime. It will
not take you to heaven will take you to *. Hope that answers the question is, is
