Does the Koran say anything about lesbians?

Question

and why does the Koran say that male homosexual acts are unnatural?

I've just found about homosexual males.


7:80 And Lot! (Remember) when he said unto his folk: Will ye commit abomination such as no creature ever did before you?

homosexuality is NOT unnatural, there are hundreds of animal species with homosexual behaviour

Answer 1

Haroon, surprisingly, doesn't know much about nature at all.

There is a species of lizards who are "only" lesbian! No males, yet the females reproduce. I guess you can say their children are all baby jesus of their species:)

Of course, there are hermaphrodite species of animals. They use both sexual organs, and as they mature, they lose the male organs and keep the female organs.

And you have bisexual species, species with 3 sexes, etc etc. Anyone telling you nature prohibits homosexuality in any way hasn't read much about the subject.

Answer 2

there are many opinions on what the Quran says about homosexuality. Some believ it says it is wrong. Others believe it was cultural....

Just as with christianity some believe it says its wrong in the bible. Others believe it says nothing of the sort....


i say each to your own as long as you respect that it is only a differing view and not something to judge or hate people about....

Answer 3

I don't know, but I'm pretty sure it's not complimentary, as Muslim countries are almost inevitably awful places for LGBTs to come out or be discovered in.

I'm interested in responses from people who know the Koran more intimately than myself.

This is a website for, by, and about LGBT Muslims.

Question:
What is the standpoint of Islam on gays and lesbians?

Answer:

Islam looks at homosexuality as something contradictory to the very nature according to which God created man. God's creation is generally in pairs. A complete phenomenon is generally divided into two complementary parts. Human being, as a complete entity is divided into males and females. The mental, emotional and physical completion of humans is generally achieved through the combination of a male and a female. Homosexuality is based on a refutation of this obvious fact, and is, therefore, in contradiction with the very nature on which man has been created. Islam does not support anything that is, in anyway, contrary to the nature on which God created man. Therefore, purely from an intellectual perspective, it can be said that homosexuality is not a religious prohibition, as far as Islam is concerned, but rather a natural prohibition. And natural prohibitions are of an equal, if not of more importance as compared to religious prohibitions. To understand the two kinds of prohibitions more thoroughly, consider the example of sexual relations between men and women. Sexual relation between a man and a woman is the way nature has meant it to be. Now, Islam has restricted the allowance of this relation between a man and a woman to only after Nika'h. Thus, the prohibition of sexual relation outside Nika'h is a religious prohibition based on the nature of man, but not a natural prohibition.

Though the Shari`ah does not specify the punishment for homosexuality, but the legislature of an Islamic state may promulgate any punishment for this purpose. In the promulgation of this punishment, one of the basic principles that must be kept in mind is that according to the Qur'an , death sentence can only be pronounced for two kinds of crimes. One is where the person has killed another person and the second is where the person is involved in "Hiraabah" and/or "Fasaad fil Ardh[1]". "Hiraabah" and/or "Fasaad fil Ardh " include crimes committed against the community, rather than an individual or crimes that are of the nature of religious persecution or crimes committed with the objective of spreading a wave of terror through the community or those committed against the state. Keeping this principle of the Qur'an in mind, the legislature of an Islamic state may promulgate any punishment for Homosexuality.
