*EPISODE 2️⃣: Shreds of Evidence*

➖➖➖

We have already mentioned how the Qur'an prohibits homosexuality.

Changing one’s gender from male to female (or vice-versa) does not alter the reality of the prohibition because there is a principle in Islam that states: 

*_“Changing the name of something does not change its reality.”_*

So changing the name of alcohol to milk does not alter its reality nor the ruling of prohibition.

Allaah (ﷻ) also says in the Qur'an:

أَتَأْتُونَ الذُّكْرَانَ مِنَ الْعَالَمِينَ▪️وَتَذَرُونَ مَا خَلَقَ لَكُمْ رَبُّكُم مِّنْ أَزْوَاجِكُم ۚ بَلْ أَنتُمْ قَوْمٌ عَادُونَ

*“You come to the men of creation and you leave those wives whom Allaah has created for you? Nay! You are a transgressing people.”*

[Al Furqaan 26: 165-166]

Ibn Abbās (رضي الله عنه) narrated that Allaah’s Messenger (ﷺ) stated:

لعن اللهُ من عمِل عملَ قومِ لوطٍ، لعن اللهُ من عمِل عملَ قومَ لوطٍ، لعن اللهُ مَن عملَ عملَ قومِ لُوطٍ

*_“The curse of Allaah is upon the one who engages in the act of the People of Lūt. The curse of Allaah is upon the one who engages in the act of the People of Lūt. The curse of Allaah is upon the one who engages in the act of the People of Lūt.”_*

[Reported in Musnad Imām Ahmad ibn Hanbal 4/292 and graded saheeh by Ahmad Shākir; see As-Silsilatus-Sahīhah of Al-Albāni, no. 6432, who graded it saheeh (authentic)]

Jābir (رضي الله عنه) narrated that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:

*إِنَّ أَخْوَفَ مَا أَخَافُ عَلَى أُمَّتِي عَمَلُ قَوْمِ لُوطٍ*

*_“What I fear most for my followers is the actions of the People of Lūt.”_*

[Collected by At-Tirmidhi, 1457 and Ibn Mājah, 2563, and graded as hasan by Al-Albāni]

When the people ignored the Prophet Lūt’s message, Allaah (ﷻ) destroyed the town and every transgressor in it, and He saved Lūt (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ) and his daughters. 

This event is a sign for the people who reflect. This story is also mentioned in the scriptures of the Jews and Christians.
