I will share with you my life and how Islam and homosexuality impacted my life
I was born in Muslim family that was not practicing.
I used to do lot of wrong stuff as a child but I would regret it afterwards I felt regret for my bad actions.
I hated this feeling of regret that came over after I did something wrong
I wished I could reverse time that way I would know what I'm about to do is wrong and I would not do it.
I wished there was some guidance available that told me what is right and wrong.
every time my parents reprimanded me for my wrongdoings they would always say this one sentence "son what you have done is a sin in islam."
to them this may have been a casual sentence but this sentence caused me to ponder to think what is a sin in Islam
as I studied Islam I found out all the wrong things I did were sins in Islam and Islam forbade us from doing those things and that for me was shocking.
I wished I'd learn about Islam before I commited all the sins then I would have less regrets in my life.
I slowly started to practice Islam praying 5 times a day, fasting, giving charity, etc.
moving on when I was around 10 or 11 years of age I realised I am attracted to boys but homosexuality is a sin in Islam.
I had an honest inner dialogue with myself about my feelings.
remember I have understood this fact that if I do something which Allah has prohibited I'm going to regret it.
trust me that feeling of regret I hated it to my very core.
Allah gave humans natural sexual desire for opposite sex and we can only fulfil that desire with our spouse after marriage in Islam.
Allah will not give me homosexual feelings and then punish me for acting upon them.
at that young age I realised these feelings are not from Allah as Allah is just.
inner dialogue: this is my conviction this is my belief that nobody is born gay. I have submitted my will to the will of my creator and homosexuality is a sin in my religion. I will not be a homosexual I am a Muslim. I will not follow desires but I will obey Allah and his messanger Muhammad pbuh. I have chosen my path and my path is Islam.
after this inner dialogue with myself I asked Allah sincerely about my situation and asked Allah to help me resolve these feelings.
I prayed tahajjud asked Allah sincerely that Allah Is ar rahman ar raheem I don't know what went wrong how did I get these feelings ya Allah remove these homosexual feelings from me. ameen
I prayed 5 times a day held tightly onto Qur'an.
I did few things subconsciously Subhan allah when I look back I realise they were very beneficial
Allah would not give me homsexual feelings and then punish me for acting on them.
I innately knew nobody is born gay I knew Allah is just and Allah created me to worship him alone.
I put my Complete trust and tawakul in Allah.
100% of my being believed that I was not born gay and these feelings are not natural.
I stayed away from all homosexual content on news social media cartoons anywhere I saw it I actively blocked it.
I held tightly onto Qur'an and sunnah and slowly these homsexual feelings disappeared alhamdulilah.
nobody is born gay this is one of biggest lies of this era.
and your Lord treats no one with injustice al-Kahf 18:49
Nay, Allaah never commands Fahshaa (evil deeds, unlawful sexual intercourse). Do you say of Allaah what you know not? al-Araaf 7:28
Have you seen he who has taken as his god his [own] desire, and Allah has sent him astray due to knowledge and has set a seal upon his hearing and his heart and put over his vision a veil? So who will guide him after Allah ? Then will you not be reminded

Great conversation, Brother Asrar is a great ambassador of sunni Islam in the UK. Jzk.
Very well handled by shaykh Asrar. Unapologetic and unequivocal on the issue.
Very well spoken by ‘Shaykh Asrar Rashid’
i dont know who this guy on the left is, but Shaykh came prepared for everything he said..May Allah preserve Shaykh Asrar Rashid
Ma'Sha'Allah great answers for some different questions which most scholars won't dare to answer in public/recording. May Allah elevate your ranks in both worlds In'Sha'Allah ❤.
The so called "academic" seems to be trying to push for young people to create some sort of "revolution" I can see through his BS and I am a simple lay muslim who is a beginner student of knowledge. Allah’s deen CAN and WILL withstand ANY attack. Watching this video has strengthened my faith in my Allah and it has motivated me to love the pure and righteous sunnah of my Nabi Muhammad (may Peace and Blessing be upon him)!
i think hes playing devils advocate in this interview
you'd think it was obvious
Agree.. mashALLAH. May ALLAH SWT keep you on the right path.
@@ohyeahohyeah8855 that might’ve been the case except that he keeps mentioning this so called “gay revolution” by the youth and you can hear the pleading and desperate tone of his voice.
At the end of the day he is a kaafir and must NOT be trusted. Doesn’t mean we can disrespect him but we must NEVER trust him!
May Allah SWT bless Shaykh Asrar Rashid more in this life and even more so in the hereafter.
Please share with all family and friends and get the message out there and the great work that he is doing.
Alhamdulillah
Very articulate and every answer given the status and respect needed
Keep up the good work Shaikh
Shaykh Asrar
Your brilliance continues to shine through.
You were a beacon of light for modern Muslims prior to publicity and with the emergence of social media your greatness will continue to prevail.
It it clear western ideology is sinking in self desire empty of intelligence, morality and sincerity.
Good discussion, definitely necessary these days.
Amazing discussion sheikh asrar made answering those questions look so easy 👏
Well done Shaykh Asrar. Very articulate in your answers and defence of our religion. Alhamdulillah. May Allah bless you. Ameen
Subhanallah shaykh answered everything on point
Great interview and very effective answers ❤

MashAllah very diplomatic answers without compromising on the rules of the perfect religion of Allah that is all deserving to be uplifted and treasured in the public eyes
Well explained by Shayakh Asrar
Wow shaykh, a perfect answer to very tough questions 👏👏
Jazzakallah khair May Allah protect us all. Ameen
32:39 The choice is indeed simple and the way Sheikh explains it is clear and concise.
Shukran Shaykh Asrar Rashid May ALLAH grant you excellent health and long life Ameen Ya Rabbal Alameen 🤲🏽 Handled the questions very well Shaykh
An excellent interview, pulled no punches, straight talking, and very concise.

Brilliant by Shaykh Asrar. Polite, articulate but unapologetic.
Amazing interview loved everything may Allah bless you
The issue is from my little knowledge is that the vast majority of the Muslim population aren’t equipped to be answering the questions of anyone enquiring into the perspectives and requirements of Muslims, because unfortunately the general Muslim population aren’t as practicing and knowledgeable as the public portrays.
Maybe you are correct, majority of Muslims know that homosexuality is haram so you have muslims that don't even think about it any other way, homosexuality is not spoken about in muslims households and again is not a topic that you would talk about. So when a person asks about it most muslims try and change the subject or say its haraam n move on from it without hurting someone's feelings cz of course ppl have homosexuality tendencies and relationships.
100% agreed. Even the imams and religious leaders.
All religions are alike in portraying themselves as profound. They are simply a belief in a non-existent deity. Once you get past that, liberation awaits.
shaykh asrar is the face of islam in west! may allah bless him more and safeguard from evil eyes!🇧🇩
The AwliyaAllah are the face of Islam around the world💚
Thanks for this Educational Podcast.
Brilliant interview. I thought Declan was fair and asked tough questions which Shaykh Asrar answered very well
Very good podcast, sheikh was very compendious in his speech
Excellently put Sheikh 👍
Definitely the clearest explanation of this topic I have seen, questions were respectful and answered very well!
MsshaAllah Shaykh
Just loved Shaykh's word
Fantastic interview with very tough questions, bravo to Sh Asrar Rashid and good interviewer
MashaAllah ❤
Yes, we are Muslim and proud, and will not bend degeneracy
Masha Allah may Allah pak give you long life all answers very answered keep up the good work ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Pak? Pakistan?!!
It seems the interviewee was a little taken aback by the forthrightness of this Ustadh. Perhaps he should have read his book or listened to some of his lectures. The main points were made though-
-Islam wont change in terms of clear matters
-You cannot make something permissible that is prohibited and remain a muslim
-Muslim clergy are not ones to easily compromise
Very well done
Very well spoken. This man was testing my patience through the screen, but you handled it very well brother Mashallah
Sheikh Asrar Rashid is an asset and I pray from the bottom of my heart that may Allah protect him may he continue to serve Islam. ❤
beautfiul!!!!!!!
مَاشَآءَاللّهُ
shaykh
Thank you sheek
49:09 Excellent points
I like the interviewer. Approached these issues with a scholar who is equipped and challenged him correctly and fairly plus open to learn the other view point.
But essentially all of it was summed up on the beginning, law of man vs law of Allah..
The question then becomes about GOD and to Truth. Laws are secondary issues.
Good job
حفظكم الله شيخ أسرار رشيد
Alhamdulillah
Very well explained by shaykh asrar as it is what it is that's islam
Fantastic job thanks for this essential for today's confused youths
Young people today are not 'confused', they simply demand liberation to live peaceful, happy lives freed from the vicious repression of faith, such as the hatred practised in most religions against LGBTQ+ people that has for so long made young people unhappy, fearful and secretive.
The guy is having very hard time understanding that ‘ Allah’s law supercedes any other law for muslims.’
Indeed. That is a problem with religious beliefs and religion-inspired laws. They are undemocratic and oppressive. Which religion should take precedence? They all claim to be the only true faith.
Very clear stand that the Shaykh have .
having recently found out what 'furries' are, it was hilarious hearing Shaykh Asrar talking about Fuzzies & Fluffies & the absurdity of it all. (if you dont know furries are apparently a bunch of people who get a kick out of dressing up as cats and dogs).
This is false. The stories about them are fake. No one is doing this.
@@veiled.monotheist I have. And I know where the story originated. It's not real.
@@veiled.monotheist "furries" have existed for a long time as people dressing up or who really like certain animals. Furries, in the way the Shaykh mentioned it like boy/girl/furry, is not real. It was completely made up.
Wow!!!
Alhamdulillah ala kulli haal
I’m so sick of the word Phobia being used to silence anyone with a different opinion. Grow up.
Never heard of Declan unlike Paul. The only thing I can find on him is that he is an author.
Paul is a Muslim, may Allah preserve him, I wouldn't compare him to Declan.
Declan's a liberal Catholic academic who, quoting from his website, "is the bronze winner of the 2017 Independent Publisher Book Award in the LGBT non-fiction list for his book Trans Voices - Becoming Who You Are."...
However, I believe in the capacity for people to change; Declan shows some level of open-mindedness in being able to sit down and have this discussion. One hopes what the Shaykh said resonates with him and he explores and embraces the Din.
Woow.Allahuakbar
Thanks to Islam.
This interviewer speaks with fork tongue. One minute there is revolution of homosexuality is coming, the next minute they not here to challenge the Islamic norms or imams. He is advocating for gay imams and gay mosques. Quran 68:9-13, 9 they would love to see you compromise with them so that they may compromise. 10 Don’t yield to every despicable swearer of oaths - 11 a fault-finder, dashing around backbiting, 12 obstructing the common good, an aggressor, a sinner, 13 an oppressor, and moreover of doubtful birth.
Sheikh Asrar's smug composure while he unapologetically explains how homosexuals will be punished severely is something to be proud of 👌
he doesn't appear smug at all. he's only explaining Islamic law on the matter.
The problem with the alphabet community is that they want to impose their beliefs and thoughts on the rest of the communities and expect people to accept it.
When people rebel against this they call he homophobic.
The host was trying to intimate Muslims have a problem with homersexual where I would argue religious communities in general do not accept it as a correct act wheater from a moral or religious standpoint.
The Shaykh answered the questions with great etiquette and knowledge MA SHA ALLAH.
No; the problem with some members of the straight community like yourself is that you want to impose your beliefs and thoughts on queer people. All we desire is the liberation to live our lives in peace and freedom. What is wrong with that, or with teaching LGBTQ+ children that they are not abnormal or bad?
Excellent shaykh asrar this chap was trying his best to trap but the noose was tied around his own neck
Actually, the punishment of Zina after being married is a verse of the Quran, but the tilawat became mansukh and hukum remained baqi. @shaykh Asrar
it would have lead more confusion to the theologically unacademic audiences and questioner, I believe that would be the reason the Sheakh didnt talked about this.
Declan desperate to nab headlines and buzzwords it seems, but the Sheikh held his own and pushed back well
I think its very simple. And the Sheikh said it towards the end, there is no compulsion in the deen. We have the choice to be Muslim, and if we choose to follow Islam so we should adhere to its rulings, teachings and customs. Islam is clear cut on issues such as drugs/substance/alcohol abuse, Homosexuality etc etc.. We have the choice to not be Muslim and do as we so wish. One cannot be a practising Homosexual and be Muslim. It is that simple. If one does not like this, then tough luck. And in the end, Allah swt knows best.
He was pushing that narrative SOO HARD that he probably is gay himself???
@minute 31:00 that guy was spilling a load of bull crap with the so called "acceptance"
I enjoyed this interview. however, I must say, I believe the interviewer kept interrupting the sheikh when he tried to bring up relevant analogies and express his views to help viewers understand Islam's approach (on the subject). I believe this is also due to the interviewer's lack of understanding and his inability to draw the similarities, irrespective of how many Muslims he has spoken to across the country. The sheikh tried to tackle people's stigma that Islam only has a harsh approach to LGBT. Islam has a harsh approach to many of the corrupt sins that break a society etc.
It’s very simple why a pride mart h would be banned in an Islamic country…..would ANY country allow the promotion of something that’s illegal in said country?
Is polygamy legal in England.
The interviewer seems bent on trying to sneak in liberal messaging. Shaykh Asrar shuts it down for the most part but you can sense there’s a clear agenda at play and not a goal of understanding on the interviewers part.
Personally, I am trying more recently to assume the best until assumption is no longer possible.
I find I am quite a negative and skeptical person, so like you would probably intimate such thoughts. But, I think it is also possible for people to change, and to allow for that we must on our part believe they can change. When arguing with people it is tempting to debate them into a corner. But like fighting an army and doing the same, this may only make them more beligerent in staying their current position and 'fighting to the last man'. Like the Chinese tactician, Sun Tzu, suggests, one must leave an opening.
In reality, I am sure we both agree that we would not want the interviewer to be doing such a thing, and we wish for him to be honest and also to accept Islam. I hope that the Shaykh's words urge change in his heart.
Muslims and inquirers who have same-sex attraction should skip to 39:00 for the basic guidance, which takes all of two minutes. You can forgo the rest of it. Remain celibate in obedience to Allah (SWT), who will reward us and may give us a high station for our struggle to obey.
Well, at least you're honest in your lack of understanding and empathy for LGBTQ+ Muslims. I'm so happy I was able to liberate myself from faith. I recommend it to every faithful believer in non-existent deities.

Islam is clear like crystal when it comes to homosexuality which is; forbidden, one of the greatest sins, and should not be done in public in order to avoid the sentence - capital punishment - demonstrated by the companions of the Holy Prophet (PBUH), Lut mAbpwh, a prophet's nation was sentenced - burning stones' rain - harshly for committing the sin of homosexuality in discreet and overtly; having said that Islam also proselytises not to interfere with the personal matter of others, especially bedroom's issues, strictly asking others not to make internal affairs known to people as the sentence of this act is also severe.
Every sin is forgivable save SHIRK, so thinking that you are doing a favour to Islam or society by disclosing the secret sexuality of others is an enormous sin in the eyes of GOD unless they are not doing it in public in an Islamic State. No one has any right to punish someone as this is the act of Government in an Islamic country if someone is proven guilty.
In many instances, personal scores are set in such matters; Islam is very rigid in approving the sentence as four witnesses - who have never lied - are required who see the act (penetration) happen in front of them.
Thank you for reading.
I am not an expert on that topic; however, I self-studied extensively on such issues for a decade.
You cant have both lgbt open society membership and islamic society that doesnt renounce you just as you cant play football for both teams on the field and score where you like .. there are rules to the Game ..you choose a side and you play the game. We dont hate you but we dont love you either and that is respect. To Allah to we belong and to him do we return.
I will feel like a billionaire now can someone out there actually make me one pls. Lol😂😂😂😂
i want to know what was this persons so called research?

And of course shariah law will be implemented soon in Sha Allah in every muslim nation and whichever nation attacks it

Well yeah this term law was used alongside shariah by west, yeah grammatically it doesn't make sense
Sorry again my bad
Jum'ah Mubarak

It's so funny and interesting how he's trying to debate the permissibility and trying to tug on the community because he knows it has no moral grounds.
19:15 i disagree.
With what
Are you gay?or do you want gay pride parades be taken in your own town?
Good for you
Sheikh is pronounced as the English word 'shake'. You know, like milkshake. Banana milkshake. Well that's the closest you can get to it.
A scouser would easily be able to say sheikh.
Can you not just say shake?
@veiled.monotheist I speak English and Arabic.
Sheikh is an arabic word.
Although there isn't a perfect way of saying it in English that matches the phonetic notes required in arabic, its easy to see that shake is far closer to the arabic word sheikh than sheek is.
Sheek is way off. Sheek is wrong.
Shake is close. Tbh the only thing missing is the 'kh' sound in 'shake'. In sheek however, the ee sound is flat out wrong and the Kh sound is wrong so there is more wrong with that word.
@veiled.monotheist shake is so close to the word sheikh infact that an English person could go to the arab world and use this term and people would be able to guess the word they are trying to say.
Sheek on the other hand would just cause confusion.
@veiled.monotheist nice. The reason I'm being picky in this is because I have lived in England my whole life and I often hear English people say things in a way that's just way off becuase they're trying to sound right but they do more damage becuase they can use the phonetic sounds in their ability to sound pretty close to the arabic word itself. I usually hear English people mispronounced names and they get them wrong by a mile. Anyway, all good. Shukran.
@@veiled.monotheist wa alaykum salaam
A number of Islamic cultures have found ways to get around the prohibition on homosexual relations, however, such as Afghanistan’s bacha bazi, dancing boys. It is forbidden for women to dance, so men get prepubescent or adolescent boys to dress in women’s clothes and dance for them. Although this practice is officially forbidden by law, many look the other way. Having dancing boy(s) is a measure of wealth and status. Men will gather to watch the boys dance, and then the boys will go home with their “benefactor” aka owner. No one questions what is done behind closed doors.
Officially, homosexuality is forbidden and often punishable by death. But unofficially, men have found ways to have homosexual sex.
homosexuality, first appeared at the time of the Abbasid dynasty, when Muhammad Al-Amin Abbasi, came to power. He was the son of Haroon Al-Rashid, the 5th Abbasid Caliph, and the powerful Abbasid Caliph.
When Al-Amin came to power, the slaves and servants (who were male) were in their highest positions of mercy and kindness. When his mother (Zobayd’a) heard that, she chose the most beautiful servants (females) and she made up them to be like male servants, and sent them for Al-Amin. Because he loved his servants to be the beautiful male.
Muruj Al-Zahab, V 4, P 226
Also Sa’alebi, a great Sunni scholar, has a book about the famous titles. He introduces Yahya bin Aksam (he was the great judge at the time of Al Ma’amon Abbasi), as the most famous man in sodomy, at his time.
Semar Al-Qulub, V 1, P 156
People will always find loopholes....but nevertheless homosex is forbidden. Incidents of practicing it doesn't sanction the sin. Islamic stance is clear
I am not sure what your point is here?
Yes people will continue to perform evil. These aren't loopholes in Sharia, the practice of Bacha Bazi is absolutely forbidden, in fact the Prophet Alayhis Salam explicitly spoke on that very subject (young boys). It is, I think, a bizarre cultural loophole, similar to the Pakistani practice of Hijra transgenders etc. Again, Sharia has clear views on these. That people continue to practice them is another matter.
As for historical evil, sure this always existed, especially in private, and as you imply in the upper echelons. Of course with reports of rulers/politicians being involved in such, one has to bear in mind polemical sources and that many of these come from political opposition or people who hated these rulers for other things they did. But were some of them commiting such evil? It is not difficult to imagine they were. The rulers had to many times be corrected by the pious, and we have the likes of Yazid in history after all.
Finally, regarding your last comment regarding Imam Yahya bin Athkham, this is slander, there is no actual evidence he commited such things, and the claim is routed in the political-theological happenings of the time such as the state Mu'tazilism under the corrupt Abbasid Caliph at the time, amongst other groups.
We look to the Prophet Alayhis Salam and Prophets Alayhim Salam and then the Sahabah Radiyallahu Anhu. We cannot however rely on history thereafter, history is not perfect as Muslims are not perfect. But for all the evils of history there are good examples as well.
For every Yazid, there is an Umar bin Abdul Aziz too.
you don't understand that moral decision rest with your Creator.
agree. Muslims need to get this utopian idea of sharia and Islam out of their heads. Sooner the better. There is little to no sharia in the Quran which is all about justice equity wisdom kindness and mercy etc that no one seems to pay heed to. Everyone is interested in LAWS and RULES which make less than 1% of the Quran and mostly contextual. Wake up ‘Muslims’
Who's this two faced person. His "hmmm" is so pompous. He thinks he's doing a good job by exposing the Muslim here but he doesn't realize he's only exposing their own illnesses. Alhamdulillah we don't budge. May Allah ta'ala bless the Shaikh and keep us all steadfast. Non Muslims are getting sick of this nasty behavior.
Why is so important westerns this evil act ?
Sheek 😆
I am sick of the apologetic tone of the scholars. Yes, we in Muslim countries support capital punishment for homosexuality acts. We don't give a heck about what the West thinks about us. We will never accept this act, whatever they do. We also support severe punishment for cross dressing. Punishment is not only for public display of act, but also for private if the people are open about that or become known in their area.
Shaykh didnt limit punishment to public display but also mentioned admission or conspiracy to promote LGBt
This is incorrect and contradicts Islamic law. "People becoming known for it" is never, and I mean EVER, appropriate justification/evidence for implementation of the hadd punishment for liwat.
Even someone talking about it in a Muslim country might warrant ta'zir punishment like whipping but NOT hadd. The person should also be given a chance to say he was mistaken in his speech and that would be the end of it. I don't care what your "eastern" interpretation of Islamic law says. The law doesn't change based on your desires
@hassanabdaladl I know that capital punishment applies only when there's 4 witnesses. But Ta'zir will be applied in the cases where there's a strong, but not enough, evidence that the person is practicing homosexuality acts. It's not correct to say that penal laws only apply on public display cases. It is like saying that there will be no criminal case if a woman gets pregnant while single because we don't have 4 witnesses. Like any other criminal cases, if someone is known to practice homosexuality acts, he or she will be under surveillance by authorities until they capture him.
@@Mym794 yea this is a fair comment. I don't necessarily like it or agree with it, but yea this can probably be done as a ta'zir ruling
the interviewer is so ignorant
Surely morality evolves overtime…slavery is halal in Islam and yet no one would try to justify it in today’s world so why can we not evolve our morality when it comes to LGBT?
Rakesh, slavery in Islam not the same as western slavery; furthermore, there are justifications from the Qur'an and Sunnah for the gradual abolition of slavery. Morality does not evolve overtime in Islam, the Qur'an and Sunnah is clear on the prohibitions of homosexual and deviant sexual acts and the public avowal and promotion of the same.
@@conjugatemethod No, that is false. These apologetics you’re using make it easy for you to have an excuse to put the issue to bed and make you feel as though Muslim societies are somehow different from the rest of the world, when that is not the case.
Chattel slavery was widely practiced in the Muslim world and many people who use the same argument you are, do not want to believe that this is how it was actually practiced by fellow Muslims. There have been MANY slave revolts in the history of the Islamic world…surely they did not revolt because they were treated so humanely?
Regardless of this FACT, slavery is MORALY wrong and unjustified no matter what age it occurred, which is why the prophet (SWS) preached to be good to slaves and women…because he was from a society that virtually enslaved them both. And he knew this. And perfected it in the best way he could, as all messengers are a prophet of their times and to the people they served. Gradual abolition is implied but it is not clearly stated, so this is YOUR interpretation and you are entitled to that…and while I share this view with you, I also can state without hesitation that slavery is an abomination! And I would rather my child be a LGBTQ than a SLAVE and considered to be a property of another human being.
This West vs. Islamic worldview is a danger to the ummah and the world, and it makes us ignorant to the realities on the ground. A worldview is not the same as REALITY. Ideas are not the same as ACTION.
The beauty of the Quran is not only that it is unchangeable, but that it can also be interpreted. Subhannallah! This keeps the deen ALIVE. If there weren’t differing opinions, then there would be no Shia, Sunni, Ibadi, etc. and all of this rampant takfiri!
If the Prophet SWS were alive today, I believe we would all be ashamed of how we treat people who are non Muslims and struggling with the fitnah of this world like everyone else.
You’ve gone awry after making some sense, but there is a great deal of nonsense in what you wrote too a lot of it not worth addressing, but I’ll say this: morality does not evolve in the final revelatory dispensation, therefore homosexual acts are immoral and prohibited and will remain so until the end of time. The abuse of an institution and tyrannising the weak do not necessarily mean the institution itself is immoral per se. In the case of slavery there were prescriptions for how a slave was to be treated, these were obligations as the shaykh mentioned and the slave could seek legal redress against his master where his rights we trammelled, this last is something that did not pertain in western slavery.
Your visceral loathing of slavery is purely down to your being born in the present age and after the abomination of the Atlantic slave trade, you’re then transposing that on to all historical instances of slavery.
@@conjugatemethod You want to discuss morality, when your rebuttal to my “nonsense” is a defense of the institution of slavery…? Lol. Best of luck to you.
@@conjugatemethod don’t forget that virtually every human being who will enter Jannah…is a sinner. But that is not ALL they are.
I am a Muslim who tries not to use my religion as an excuse to spiritually tyrannize, shame, and ostracize those who are weak in their desires, be they LGBT or drug addicts, gamblers, fornicators,etc. We all sin!
…and to those who partake in this rampant takbiri and constant shunning of others…and to those who choose to turn a blind eye to it, you will be rightly accused of being equally as immoral in your arrogance!
No one was ever successfully shamed and shunned into the shroud of God’s grace and endless mercy.
How can you expect mercy from Allah SWT if we cannot give it to others? No matter how weak in the flesh they are…
You are entitled to your beliefs, but we can stand be true to the revelation, shariah, and the sunnah, without resorting to the open hostility and inhumanity that is shown towards those who do not have the spiritual fortitude that you have. Be thankful that you do not have to battle the things these people do…and they just may be REWARDED for it.
I’d rather be a shepherd to the deen, than a scarecrow!
Research from the bottom of his ARS 😂
Well done shaykh.. has anyone else noticed, you won’t find the ones that hate on shaykh Asrar to be able to sit for 5 minutes and have a intelligent conversation like this with people of other religions.

I will share with you my life and how Islam and homosexuality impacted my life
I was born in Muslim family that was not practicing.
I used to do lot of wrong stuff as a child but I would regret it afterwards I felt regret for my bad actions.
I hated this feeling of regret that came over after I did something wrong
I wished I could reverse time that way I would know what I'm about to do is wrong and I would not do it.
I wished there was some guidance available that told me what is right and wrong.
every time my parents reprimanded me for my wrongdoings they would always say this one sentence "son what you have done is a sin in islam."
to them this may have been a casual sentence but this sentence caused me to ponder to think what is a sin in Islam
as I studied Islam I found out all the wrong things I did were sins in Islam and Islam forbade us from doing those things and that for me was shocking.
I wished I'd learn about Islam before I commited all the sins then I would have less regrets in my life.
I slowly started to practice Islam praying 5 times a day, fasting, giving charity, etc.
moving on when I was around 10 or 11 years of age I realised I am attracted to boys but homosexuality is a sin in Islam.
I had an honest inner dialogue with myself about my feelings.
remember I have understood this fact that if I do something which Allah has prohibited I'm going to regret it.
trust me that feeling of regret I hated it to my very core.
Allah gave humans natural sexual desire for opposite sex and we can only fulfil that desire with our spouse after marriage in Islam.
Allah will not give me homosexual feelings and then punish me for acting upon them.
at that young age I realised these feelings are not from Allah as Allah is just.
inner dialogue: this is my conviction this is my belief that nobody is born gay. I have submitted my will to the will of my creator and homosexuality is a sin in my religion. I will not be a homosexual I am a Muslim. I will not follow desires but I will obey Allah and his messanger Muhammad pbuh. I have chosen my path and my path is Islam.
after this inner dialogue with myself I asked Allah sincerely about my situation and asked Allah to help me resolve these feelings.
I prayed tahajjud asked Allah sincerely that Allah Is ar rahman ar raheem I don't know what went wrong how did I get these feelings ya Allah remove these homosexual feelings from me. ameen
I prayed 5 times a day held tightly onto Qur'an.
I did few things subconsciously Subhan allah when I look back I realise they were very beneficial
Allah would not give me homsexual feelings and then punish me for acting on them.
I innately knew nobody is born gay I knew Allah is just and Allah created me to worship him alone.
I put my Complete trust and tawakul in Allah.
100% of my being believed that I was not born gay and these feelings are not natural.
I stayed away from all homosexual content on news social media cartoons anywhere I saw it I actively blocked it.
I held tightly onto Qur'an and sunnah and slowly these homsexual feelings disappeared alhamdulilah.
nobody is born gay this is one of biggest lies of this era.

Nay, Allaah never commands Fahshaa (evil deeds, unlawful sexual intercourse). Do you say of Allaah what you know not? al-Araaf 7:28
Have you seen he who has taken as his god his [own] desire, and Allah has sent him astray due to knowledge and has set a seal upon his hearing and his heart and put over his vision a veil? So who will guide him after Allah ? Then will you not be reminded
Qur'an 45:23
remember man was created free and mandated.

I appreciate your efforts, may ALLAH bless you with immense reward and closeness to Allah and His Prophet peace be upon him. Ameen
May Allah reward you ❤
This guy said homosexual mosque 🤣 never gonna happen

We hold no antithetical theological position on "gay bornedness". All things are by decree. There is no natural causation.
If Allah decreed someone to feel these feelings, then they are still responsible for not sinning. Being "born with a desire", whatever that means, is not a get-out-of-jail free card for sinning, I was "born with a desire" for women and yet you don't see me sleeping around, though I certainly have such a desire to do so.
May Allah preserve you.
