From the Islamic standpoint, homosexuality is a forbidden action; a major sin
\nand anyone who partakes in it is considered a disobedient servant to Allah
\nthat will acquire His displeasure and disapproval. This is clearly stated in the
\nthree main sources of the Shariah: The Quran, the Sunnah, and the
\nconsensus of all scholars, which extends from the time of the Prophet till
\ntoday. There has never been any debate or discussion regarding this
\nviewpoint amongst the scholars, past or present, simply because the matter
\nwas always comprehensive and immutable. ANIC, representing over 200
\nImams from across Australia, strongly rejects any claim that the ruling of the
\npractice of homosexuality is not clear in the Quran. This stems from absolute
\nignorance of Islam and its principles.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cAnd (remember) Lut (Lot), when he said to his people: \u2018Do you commit the
\nworst sin such as none preceding you has committed in the \u2018Aalameen
\n(mankind and jinn)?
\nVerily, you practise your lusts on men instead of women. Nay, but you are a
\npeople transgressing beyond bounds (by committing great sins)\u2019\u201d
\n[al-A\u2019raaf 7:80-81]
\nIt is very clearly mentioned in this verse that the people of Lut were engaging
\nin homosexuality and it was a manifest sin. Many other verses imply the same
\nmeaning and verdict without any disagreement or discrepancy on the matter.
\nFrom the Sunnah (The Prophetic Tradition) we find:
\nIt was narrated that Ibn \u2018Abbaas said: \u201cThe Prophet (peace and blessings
\nupon him) said \u201ccursed is the one who does the action of the people of Lut.\u201d
\n(Narrated by Ahmad, 1878.).
\nOnce again, the Hadith is very explicit and comprehensible in its meaning and
\nmany more similar Hadiths can be found to support this ruling.
\nThe consensus of the scholars:
\nFrom the time of the Prophet until now, all scholars of every time and era,
\nhave agreed that the practice of homosexuality is a forbidden act and a sin in
\nIslam.
\nIn conclusion, there is no doubt in Islam that homosexuality is a major sin<\/span>
\nwhich Allah does not permit nor will He be pleased by those who practice it.
\nFor anyone who claims otherwise, this will be considered an explicit distortion
\nof the accurate and true teachings of Islam.
\nThe Australian National Imams Council would also like to emphasize that this
\nman who claims to be an Imam and recently appeared on Australian
\ntelevision, is not recognized as an Imam by the Australian National Imams
\nCouncil nor the mainstream Muslim community.
\nIslam invites any Muslims who are engaging in any sin to sincerely repent to
\nAllah and ask for His forgiveness with the great hope that Allah is oft-merciful,
\never-forgiving. ANIC counsels anyone who is practicing this sin to seek
\nreligious and spiritual advice from their local Imam. ANIC also warns the
\nMuslim community from seeking any religious advice from non-qualified and
\nnon-mainstream Imams or Muslim individuals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
