Towards Hijaab, Modesty

This refers to the Islamic system of repelling immodesty and immorality; by guarding the gaze; segregation of males and females; covering of one’s Satr (private parts) at all times; women covering their bodies in appropriate clothing which conceals their shape and contours; women speaking in coarse tones to non-mahrem males when necessary; women concealing their faces when emerging from their homes; severe punishment for the commission of adultery, fornication, homosexuality, lesbianism; and the promise of great reward for chastity. Islam is completely opposed to all forms of immodesty, immorality and depravity. Today, an effort is made to promote the acceptance of homosexuality and lesbianism in the media, schools, etc. The ways these disgusting actions are painted are causing many of the youngsters to change their stance on these issues. Remember why the nation of Lut was destroyed. Allah mentions their incident in many places in the Qur’an. At one place, He says, “And (We also sent) Lut. ‘Behold, he said to his people, do you do what is shameful even though you see (that it is wrong)? Would you really approach men in your lusts rather than women? Nay, you are a grossly ignorant people!’ But his people gave no other answer but this: They said, ‘Drive out the followers of Loot from your city. These are indeed men who want to be clean and pure!” But We saved him and His family except his wife: We destined her to be of those who lagged behind. And We rained down on them a shower (of stones). And evil was the shower on those who were admonished (but failed to heed).” (Naml). At yet another place, Allah says, “Do you approach the males of humanity, leaving the women Allah has created for you? But you are a people who transgress” (Shu’raa).

It is normal for a male to marry a female and be attracted to a female and vice versa. It is not normal for a female to be attracted to a female and a male attracted to a male. It is against nature.

 Had homosexuality been normal, we would have found it amongst the Sahaabah, Tabieen, etc. but we do not find it when reading about their lives. It is normal for a male to marry a female and be attracted to a female and vice versa. It is not normal for a female to be attracted to a female and a male attracted to a male. It is against nature. Once Abul Aswad brought a letter which he showed to one of his students and said, ‘I bear witness that this letter was dictated by Ali bin Abi Taalib to Abul Aswad, “When men (i.e. homosexuals) will sexually satisfy themselves with men and women (i.e. lesbians) with women, then earthquakes will occur, faces will become transformed and stones will rain down from the skies.’ Rasulullah _ also said, “May Allah curse him who does what the people of Lut did.” (Ibn Hibbaan) He has also said, “Lesbianism by women is adultery between them.” (Tabaraani)
