Appearing on the front page of the Miami Daily News on August 13th, 1954 was the first of a series of three articles aimed to inform the public about the “disease” of homosexuality.
|
In 1973, the American Psychiatric Association declassified homosexuality as a mental disorder. // En 1973, la Asociación Americana de Psiquiatría descalificó la homosexualidad como un desorden mental.
Islam is as clear on homosexuality as the shining sun. Unfortunately some among the Muslims who claim to be scholars or students have exerted a lot to negate this. Be it due to inferiority complex with the west or due to peer pressure, or the fear of not being openly recognized by the organisations and community one works with or due to the fear of having the source of income slashed or simply personal homosexual tendencies or desires or as shaykh salih al-fawzan and scholars truly said that living in non islamic environment makes a person more exposed to falsehood and eventually makes him lighter or easier to accept these flaws due to what he has been seeing around in his society . These are some of the many reasons why those among Muslims unfortunately try to negate or lighten the islamic stance against homosexuality. A simple google, even in Chinese is enough to show the islamic position yet those whom allah deviates , then who can guide them? .
This article will enlist very few quotes from the prophet, his companion(s) and some scholars predicting this homosexuality to become wide spread and summarizing the threat it brings upon mankind. Notice that this is the Islamic position and in countries where it has been made legal (after considering it a disease for centuries at stretch) then those Muslims who live in those countries cannot violate the laws of the country by forcing or harming someone. Sure as your personal opinion you can dislike it or simply continue exercising your right to practicing/believing/educating what your faith teaches and this should be fine.
Translation from : إتحاف الجماعة بما جاء في الفتن والملاحم وأشراط الساعة - 560
وعن حذيفة رضي الله عنه: أنه قال: "لا يكون في بني إسرائيل شيء؛ إلا كان فيكم مثله". فقال رجل: يكون فينا مثل قوم لوط؟ قال: "نعم".
Hudhayfa (radhiallahu `anhu) said (which is elevated marfoo`an) " Nothing occurred among the Bani israeel except that something similar will occur in your midst. So a man asked " Will there be among us the kind similar to the people of loot (i.e. homosexuals?) He (radhiallahu `anhu) replied " Yes"
[Ref: رواه ابن أبي شيبة. | Ibn abi shaybah narrated it]
Chapter : ما جاء في التغاير على الغلمان | What has come about the protective jealousy for young boys (homosexuals or pedophiles)
عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم؛ قال: «لا تقوم الساعة حتى يتغايروا على الغلام كما يتغايرون على المرأة» .
رواه الديلمي في "مسند الفردوس".
The Messenger of Allah (sallalahu `alayhi wa sallam) said, “The Hour will not begin until they feel jealous regarding young men just as people feel jealous regarding women.”
[Ref: Al-Daylami related in Musnad al-Firdaws from Abu Hurayrah ]
Ibn Marduyah related from Ibn `Abbas (raḍiyAllahu `anhu) who related from the Prophet (sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam) who said " From the signs of the hour....(and narrated the entire hadeeth in it it says and that men will marry men and women will marry women) ....and that “people (males) will feel ‘gheerah’ (protective jealousy) for young boys/men just as it is felt for a young, virgin girl.
[Ref: رواه ابن مردويه، وقد تقدم بتمامه في الباب الثاني من أشراط الساعة.]
Chapter : ما جاء في كثرة أولاد الزني | What has come regarding the numerous children born out of illegal sexual intercourse
عن ابن مسعود رضي الله عنه: أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: «يا ابن مسعود! إن من أعلام الساعة وأشراطها أن يكثر أولاد الزنى» .
RT : The (truthful one) Messenger of Allah sallalahu `alayhi wa sallam said " Oh Ibn Mas`ood, Verily from the knowledge and signs of the hour is that there would be numerous children born out of zinah (i.e. w/o marriage)
[Ref: رواه الطبراني في حديث طويل تقدم ذكره في الباب الثاني من أشراط الساعة.; Authenticity : look around]
The above has been translated from a very good book in this regard is which is : إتحاف الجماعة بما جاء في الفتن والملاحم وأشراط الساعة
Some other ahadeeth and fatawa dating 1435 or many centuries ago are :
وعن ابن عباس رضي الله عنه أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: من أشراط الساعة أن يكتفي الرجال بالرجال والنساء بالنساء ويغار على الغلمان كما يغار على الجارية البكر وعند ذلك تكون الأمراء فسقة والوزراء فجرة.. الحديث بطوله.. رواه ابن مردويه.
وفي رواية أخرى ويخطب الغلام كما تخطب المرأة ويهيأ كما تهيأ المرأة.
Ibn `Abbas (radhiallahu `anhu) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (sallalahu `alayhi wa sallam) said " From the portents of the hour is that the men will be satisfied with men and women will be satisfied with women and (men) will have protective jealousy for the boys (or men) just like one has for the virgin girl and that will be when the women are adulterous or corrupt and the ministers are fujjar..
the hadeeth is long and in another narration it says
and men will marry boys just like (how one used) to marry women and prepare themselves (for their homosexual partners) just like how the women dress (prepare) themselves.
[Ref: Ibn mardawy narrated this]
A similar narration to hudhayfa radhiallahu `anhu above saying that many of us will follow bani israel in everything bad they did is what has been reported from Ibn Mas`ood with a stronger and more specific wording
وعن عبد الله بن مسعود رضي الله عنه: أنه قال: "أنتم أشبه الناس ببني إسرائيل، والله؛ لا تدعون شيئًا عملوه إلا عملتموه، ولا كان فيهم شيء إلا سيكون فيكم مثله ". فقال رجل: أيكون فينا مثل قوم لوط؟ فقال: " نعم، ممن أسلم وعرف نسبه".
[Ref: Narrated by Muhammad ibn Nasr al-Marwazi in his Kitabus-sunnah]
And it has come in a lengthy narration wherein the prophet (sallalahu `alayhi wa sallam) is reported to have said to Ibn Mas`ood :
يا ابن مسعود إن من أعلام الساعة وأشراطها أن يكتفي الرجال بالرجال والنساء بالنساء .
Oh Ibn Mas`ood from the signs of the hour is that men will be satisfied with men and women with women
[Ref: Majma` az-zawaid from Tabarani ; http://library.islamweb.net/newlibrary/display_book.php?bk_no=87&ID=2494&idfrom=12543&idto=12592&bookid=87&startno=3#docu. Note: And this phrase is a metonymy for the prevalence and abundance of homosexuality between men, or ‘sexual perversion’, and likewise lesbianism.]
Although this Hadeeth is quite weak, Imam Bayhaqi (rahimahullah) after quoting a similar condensed version of the Hadeeth in question, has stated that majority of this Hadeeth is sufficiently corroborated. Hafidh Ibn Kathir (rahimahullah) after quoting Imam Bayhaqi (rahimahullah) further affirms this.
[Ref: Al Mu’jamul Kabir, Hadith: 10556, Majma’uz Zawaid, vol. 7 pg. 323 and Al Bidayah Wan Nihayah, vol. 17 pg. 154]
(حديث مرفوع) أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيُّ ، أنا أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُؤَمَّلِ ، ثنا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الشَّعْرَانِيُّ ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ النُّفَيْلِيُّ ، ثنا عَبَّادٌ ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ رُوَيْمٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِذَا اسْتَحَلَّتْ أُمَّتِي خَمْسًا فَعَلَيْهِمُ الدَّمَارُ ، إِذَا ظَهَرَ التَّلاعُنُ ، وَشَرِبُوا الْخُمُورَ ، وَلَبِسُوا الْحَرِيرَ ، وَاتَّخِذُوا الْقِيَانَ ، وَاكْتَفَى الرِّجَالُ بِالرِّجَالِ ، وَالنِّسَاءُ بِالنِّسَاءِ
Anas radhiallahu `anhu said that the Messenger of Allah (sallalahu `alayhi wa sallam) said " when my ummah legalizes five things then they are bound for destruction. The prevalence (or uprising) of cursing (and swearing). Drinking of alcohol (using a variety of name such as the recent halal beer), wearing of silk (by men) ; when girls are taken (as entertainment such as dance shows, concerts, etc) and when men are (sexually) satisfied with men and women with women.
[Ref: Shu`b ul-Emaan of Bayhaqi ; http://library.islamweb.net/hadith/display_hbook.php?bk_no=682&hid=5055&pid=335607; Tabarani in Mu`jam al-awsat (2/17), Mundhari in Targheeb wat-tarheeb (3/138, 258) and said the isnad is saheeh or hasan or closer to either [إسناده صحيح أو حسن أو ما قاربهما ] . Bayhaqi said it could be strengthened due to corroborating strengths and Shaykh Albani implied the same in his Saheeh targheeb (2386) ]
Ubayd bin al-Waleed bin Abi as-Saa'ib narrates from Abu Sahl that he said,
سَيَكُونُ فِي هَذِهِ الأُمَّةِ قَوْمٌ يُقَالُ لَهُمُ اللُّوطِيُّونَ ، عَلَى ثَلاثَةِ أَصْنَافٍ : صِنْفٌ يَنْظُرُونَ ، وَصِنْفٌ يُصَافِحُونَ ، وَصِنْفٌ يَعْمَلُونَ ذَلِكَ الْعَمَلَ " .
There will be in this Ummah a nation which will be called Sodomites in three different kinds: one of them will only stare (lustfully at the same gender), the other one will touch/shake hands, and the third will actually do that action.
[Ref: Bayhaqi in Shu'ab al-Eemaan; taken from faizan shaikh]
وقال ابن أبي الدنيا بإسناده عن أبي سهل الصعلوكي
Ibn Abi dunya narrated with his sanad on the authority of (the Imam , the linguist, grammarian, muffasir and zaahir shaykh of khurasaan) Abu Sahl as-sa`luki (d. 369 A.H) who said :
ﺳَﻴَﻜُﻮﻥُ ﻓِﻲ ﻫَﺬِﻩِ ﺍﻷُﻣَّﺔِ ﻗَﻮْﻡٌ ﻳُﻘَﺎﻝُ ﻟَﻬُﻢُ ﺍﻟﻠُّﻮﻃِﻴُّﻮﻥَ، ﻋَﻠَﻰ ﺛَﻼﺛَﺔِ ﺃَﺻْﻨَﺎﻑٍ : ﺻِﻨْﻒٌ ﻳَﻨْﻈُﺮُﻭﻥَ، ﻭَﺻِﻨْﻒٌ ﻳُﺼَﺎﻓِﺤُﻮﻥَ، ﻭَﺻِﻨْﻒٌ ﻳَﻌْﻤَﻠُﻮﻥَ ﺫَﻟِﻚَ ﺍﻟْﻌَﻤَﻞَ “
" In this Community (of Muslims), there will be different types of homosexuality:
Homosexuality of the glance, homosexuality of touch, and homosexuality of the action.”
[Ref: Imam ibn Taymiyyah in his Majmoo` al-fatawa recorded this and many many fatawa of salaf not only with these direct statements but also a series of protectiveness and cautionary behavior they adopted to prevent such a feeling from even entering among the Muslim hearts here : http://library.islamweb.net/newlibrary/display_book.php?bk_no=22&ID=1007&idfrom=1597&idto=1606&bookid=22&startno=3 .
