In discussing the history of homosexuality in the Middle East it is obvious that this kind of practice is prohibited by the Quran and certain religious hadith (sayings by Prophet Mohammed). “Homosexuality is unlawful in Islam; it is neither accepted by the state nor by the Islamic society. The people living in the time of Prophet Lot (Nephew of Abraham) near the Dead Sea were involved in this act and Allah punished them severely and the whole nation was destroyed.” (Islam and homosexuality). This quote is an answer to a question asked by a Pakistani who wanted to know how Islam acknowledged homosexuality. Moreover, in interviewing the Sheikh in the mosque, he ascertained that this kind of act is the worst of all sins, to an extent that it is more terrible than adultery. Then I asked him why do some people believe that it is related to biology and genes, claiming that homosexuals have nothing to do with it because they are born that way.

Logically then, there will be no torture after death, if they were executed in life. He added that if they asked forgiveness from God and abandoned this act, God might forgive them and they will have salvation. “Short of polytheism, all is forgiven in Islam.” (Abukhalil, 1). That quote is another confirmation for emphasizing salvation from homosexuality. He then referred to the consequences of doing acts like that such as the spread of aids and HIV. Aids was also mentioned in “Islam and homosexuality” which states that the present time disease “Aids” is a wrath of God, which is affecting innocents also.
