"The worse thing I fear happening to my ummah is if they start doing the hideous things the people of Prophet Luth's did"
(Narrated by Imam Ahmad)
Prophet Muhammad said this more than 1430 years ago. And now, LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) and the 'Sexualiti Merdeka' has taken centre stage once again.
About 3000 people recently gathered at Universiti Putra Malaysia's stadium to denounce the increasing threat posed by LGBT in Malaysia. The rally was organized by Jaringan Melayu Malaysia (JMM) and supported by 18 other NGOs and students from eight public universities.
Someone asked me afterwards if I support this rally against LGBT and Sexualiti Merdeka?
MY ANSWER : Of course I support the rally, because I denounce LGBT and Sexualiti Merdeka!!!
My god!! I for one will not welcome this group into our blessed nation. It is not about human rights because humans do have rights; but this it about humans demanding their 'rights' to act like animals. All I can say is - behave like humans and I will recognize your rights, but if you want to behave like animals, I will treat you like one.
I am aware that many politicians have made statement about it (both supporting and against it). Sadly, some of those politicians supporting this movement includes those carrying royal-awarded titles like 'Datuk' and 'Datuk Seri'. Do you realize how shameful that is? Our Kings, which are the Sultans and Agong are considered as the head of the state (for Sultan) or country (for Agong). They are regarded as the supreme leaders, especially in matters effecting the religion.
So, an individual being awarded with such titles like 'Datuk' and 'Datuk Seri' shows that that individual have been given endorsement (royal blessing) by the king. How could these individuals be allowed to continue carrying those titles (Datuk and Datuk Seri), while supporting homosexual, which is something that is CLEARLY against the Islamic principles?? This is a total disgrace to the palace and the royal families.

So, I am calling for those titles (Datuk or Datuk Seri) be stripped off those individuals supporting the homosexual for their shameful act. They might have successfully made this into their personal political mileage, but I assure you this is no political issue.
It is a religious one!!
And not only Islam that is against homosexual, I have spoken to many Muslim Imams and friends, Christian Priests and friends, Buddha Monks and friends, Hindu Priests and friends - All the major religions in the world are in one voice about this - LGBT and 'Sexualiti Merdeka' are NOT acceptable!!
But I will not try to elaborate this from other religion's perspective. You can double-check my statement above with your own priests or monks. I will only elaborate from the perspective of Islam.
For Muslims, let's remember what happened to the people of Sadom (a race during the time of Prophet Luth). To start with, that is where the word 'Sodomy' originates, it was taken from the name of the city capital named 'Sodom', where the people of Sadom lives, a race that practices sex with the same gender.
What they did has never happened before their time.
"And Luth. When he said to them (Sadom people), 'why are practicing this faahisyah practice that have never been done by anyone before you?? You fulfilled your lust to another man and not to women. You are truly a race that has gone overboard'. His people replied said 'Chase them (Luth and his followers) away from this city. They only pretend to be pure' "
(Al-A'raaf, 82-82)
Prophet Luth have been tirelessly asking them to stop their hideous act and embrace the fitrah. But after many years of preaching to his people with no avail, finally Prophet Luth, in frustration asked for Allah to destroy this race before their practices spread to other cities.
Sadom people were destroyed gruesomely. It is said that Angel Jibrail lifted the earth on where the city of Sodom stood, turn it upside down and smashed it back to the ground. The location is near the Dead Sea.

Ruins of the city can still be found until today as a reminder to us!!
And if the LGBT people thinks that they are not posing any harm to others - they are wrong! Allah's fury will effect everyone, including those condoning homosexual (even if they themselves do not practice the act).
So are you saying that the Malaysian government should be a theocracy? Iran is a theocracy that's overzealous in their beliefs of Islam and look what's happening there. You have your rights to believe in whatever religion you want but wanting to rule other people's lives with your religion through the government is just not right.
ReplyDeleteI am not gay but I'm an individual who believes that every human being has a right to live their lives as they choose without the constraints of the government or religious figurehead telling them how to live it. I'm going to end my rant with a quote.
"Prejudice is a lazy man's substitute for thinking." -Unknown
Nick, my first question to you is - do you believe in God?
ReplyDeleteIf yes, then read on. If no, then there is no point for you to read my comment further.
I elaborated on the part of Islam as I am a Muslim. But read again my article, "I have spoken to many Muslim Imams and friends, Christian Priests and friends, Buddha Monks and friends, Hindu Priests and friends. All the major religions in the world are in one voice about this - LGBT and 'Sexualiti Merdeka' are NOT acceptable!!" Ruins of the City of Sodom can still be found as a reminder for us. Feel free to double check this with your own priest or monk. Unless if you do not believe in God in the first place, then you should have just stop at the first para of my comment as you would not understand the gravity of this matter.
