Verses about the people of Prophet Lut. آيات عن قوم سيدنا لوط

[nova8byte]

Abdur Rahman ibn Abu Layla, quoting Usayd ibn Hudayr, a man of the Ansar, said that while he was given to jesting and was talking to the people and making them laugh, the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم poked him under the ribs with a stick. He said: Let me take retaliation. He said: Take retaliation. He said: You are wearing a shirt but I am not. The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم then raised his shirt and the man embraced him and began to kiss his side. Then he said: This is what I wanted, Messenger of Allah!

Sunan Abu Dawood 3: Chapter 198, Hadith 5224 (Source: IslamicFinder.com)

The Prophet Muhammad almost had gay sex in front of his companions... CHECKMATE FATHER!!

Ik you're against islam and all their ideologies, but that's not how islam progresses

That's not what our religion teaches us.

Yes we are against lgbt and all the other ideologies, but that doesn't mean we will attack the LGBT community. Not unless they make the first move. If someone from lgbt supports Palestine, instead of beheading them, we would actually rather be happy that someone from lgbt is on our side. Itd make us happy rather than angry.

Idk about hamas and all, but if you look at the peaceful side of islam, that's how theyll react, theyll welcome you with open arms, warmly. Please dont spread hate on our beloved religion that we find peace in. I'd really appreciate if you spread awareness rather than hate. It hurts to see someone say and assume false things about islam

First of all, thanks for speaking respectfully and without hate. It's rare, and I appreciate that. But I can't agree with you.

Homosexuality is not an ideology; it's a sexual orientation people are born with. I'm not convinced that Islam is a peaceful religion. You can't deny that terrorist organisations such as Hamas are based on Islam - its members are loud and proud about it. And Islam condemns homosexuality. That's a fact. Homosexuality is even illegal in some Muslim countries. Punished with death. These laws are not someone's random idea - they're based solely on Islamic teachings.

So I really don't understand how you can say that you would welcome lgbt people warmly if, at the same time, your religion forbids them to be themselves.

Published: Sep 5, 2022

Paris — A court in Iran has sentenced to death two gay rights activists on charges of promoting homosexuality, campaigners said Monday, urging pressure from the international community to stop the implementation of the verdicts.

The two women, Zahra Sedighi Hamedani, 31, and Elham Chubdar, 24, were sentenced to death by the court in the northwestern town of Urmia, the Hengaw Kurdish rights organization said.

They were convicted of "spreading corruption on earth" — a charge frequently imposed on defendants deemed to have broken the country's sharia laws, it added. They were informed of the sentence while in detention in the women's wing of the Urmia jail.

In a short statement, the Iranian judiciary confirmed that the sentences had been issued.

There has for months been concern about the fate of Sedighi Hamedani, also known as Sareh, a prominent Iranian LGBTI activist.

She was arrested in October by Iranian security forces while trying to flee into neighboring Turkey after returning to Iran from Iraqi Kurdistan, where she had been based.

Sedighi Hamedani was subsequently held in solitary confinement for almost two months.

Shadi Amin, a coordinator for the Germany-based Iranian LGBTI rights group 6Rang, also confirmed the execution verdicts, which she said the group had been aware of since Thursday but could now disclose after receiving permission from the families.  

"We now demand pressure from Germany and other foreign governments" on Iran for the release of the two women, she told AFP.

"This is the first time that a woman has been sentenced to death in Iran for her sexual orientation," she added.

Amnesty International said in January that the charges stemmed from her public defense of gay rights on her social media platforms, as well as an appearance in a BBC documentary aired in May 2021 about the abuses that LGBTQ people suffer in the Kurdistan Region of northern Iraq (KRG).

She had decided to leave Iraqi Kurdistan after being detained by the regional authorities. It appears she crossed into Iran again before trying to head for Turkey.

Activists frequently denounce Iran's treatment of LGBTQ individuals. Homosexuality is banned in Iran with its penal code explicitly criminalizing same-sex sexual behavior for both men and women.

Before leaving Iraqi Kurdistan, Sedighi Hamedani had sent 6Rang videos to be made public in case she failed to make it to safety.

"We, the LGBTI community, are suffering. Whether through death or freedom, we will remain true to ourselves," she said in one of the videos.

"I hope to achieve freedom," she added, also alleging that she had been tortured with methods including electrocution while in Iraqi Kurdish custody.

Activists accuse Iran of being in the throes of a major crackdown that is affecting all areas of society, including a new push against the Bahai religious minority, a surge in executions and arrests of foreign nationals.

https://quranx.com/5.33

Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth [to cause] corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land. That is for them a disgrace in this world; and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment

Globalist Babylon Is Coming

By Rob Pue, Publisher – Wisconsin Christian News   Recently, I wrote a message titled “Babylon the Great Is Fallen.”  In that message, I erroneously stated that “Mystery Babylon” was mentioned in Revelation 18.  Since that time, I’ve done a much deeper study on the subject and there are some things I’d like to clarify here. First of all, “Mystery Babylon” is not mentioned in Revelation 18, but…

The Muslims are being homophobic on my dash again and they’re attacking lesbian and bi Muslims 😑

Al-Fatiha organized conferences which took place in Boston, New York and London in the late 1990s and early 2000s, and focused on issues such as the reconciliation of religion and sexual orientation.

In 2003, Al-faitha & Salaam Canada co-hosted the ''Salaam/Al-Fatiha International LGBTTIQQ Muslim Conference'' in Toronto.

The last conference of Al-fatiha was held in 2005 in Atlanta,GE.

International Queer Activism:

Through the first International Retreat for LGBTQ Muslims of Al-fatiha,the participants officially decided that the muslim community needed an international org. to address their concerns.

Since 1998, the Al-fatiha foundation has expanded significantly, with 15 chapters located in the United States, United Kingdom,South Africa and Canada.Furthermore, Al-faitha foundation opened its offices in UK,Canada,Spain, Turkey,Jerusalem,South Africa.The Al-fatiha-UK chapter is currently known as Imaan.

Many LGBT newspapers and publications have written about its activities, featuring the organization and its members in The New York Blade, Southern Voice, The Advocate, Out Magazine and Diva Magazine, among others.

Featured abroad in Bangladesh,India,South Africa & the Far East, Al-Fatiha has been on radio programs such as BBC and National Public Radio.Al-fatiha's extensive media coverage brought visibility on Queer Muslims globally.

Closure of Al-fatiha:

Al-fatiha foundation was highly criticized by other islamic conservatives & radicalists.In 2001, Al-Muhajiroun, an international organization seeking the establishment of a global Islamic caliphate, issued a fatwa declaring that all members of Al-fatiha foundation were murtadd (apostate).The organization Al-Muhajiroun also demanded death of Al-fatiha's members.

Due to constant death threats and fear of getting shunned by their muslim communities, many members of the Al-fatiha still prefer to be anonymous so as to protect their identity.While Al-Fatiha worked to combat homophobia within Muslim communities, it also felt it faced the challenge of seeking to avoid provoking an Islamophobic reaction among non-Muslims.

After the organization's founder, Faisal Alam, stepped down, subsequent leaders failed to sustain the organization.It began a process of legal dissolution in 2011.

Discover Quran Verses about #Homosexuality @ https://quranindex.info/search/homosexuality [26:165-166] #Quran #Islam

[immahabur]

A video of a French gay 'imam' went viral after he made claims that the Qurʾān does not prohibit homosexuality, however this is proven to be false, as the Qurʾān mentions, on more than one occasion, about men lusting after other men is a transgression. While Islam prohibits LGBT acts, they are sinful and do not take a person out of the fold of Islam [providing the person(s) know the act is sinful], however if a person makes claim that these acts are permissible, then they are transgressing the laws of Islam, and are not deemed Muslim. The Prophet Lūt made the duʿāʾ: رَبِّ ٱنصُرْنِى عَلَى ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ My Lord! Help me against the people of corruption [Rabbi unṣurnī ʿalā l-qawmil muf’sidīn] [Sūrah al-ʿAnkabūt, Verse 30] Credit: @islamify #islam #muslim #beingmuslim #quran #lgbt #homosexuality #prohibition #transgression #sin #tawbah #tawakkullah (at Riyadh, Saudi Arabia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjbIuG1rpIL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Muslims, Jews and Christians all have the same god btw, same base book too. An Orthodox Jew will shame gay people as fast as the other two will.

“The book of Vayikra is traditionally regarded as classifying sexual intercourse between males as a to'eivah (something abhorred or detested) that can be subject to capital punishment by the current Sanhedrin under halakha (Jewish law)”

Most of the religions are homophobic, but there is only one religion in the name of which homosexuality is punished with death nowadays. And guess what, it isn't Judaism.

[enchanted-keys]

I thought we were past using religion as an excuse to be homophobic, but apparently we aren’t.
