A homosexual wants to repent. How can he become inclined towards women?
Question
I am very troubled by this problem. Please advise me on how to cure myself of this sin and how to remove my sexual inclination towards men.
Answer
To cure oneself from this type of sexual pervesion the first step that you%0D%0Ahave taken already is to identify that you have this problem and it is not%0D%0Asomething that is natural and Allah has prohibited it. Refer to Sura 26%0D%0Averse 165-166 also sura 11 verses 77 -81.%0D%0A%0D%0AYou then need to make sincere Thaubah to Allah that you would not get%0D%0Ainvolved with these type of activties again. I suggest that you keep in%0D%0Acontact with an Alim who you can explain your problem to and he can guide%0D%0Ayou on a regular basis, thus helping you keep away from the problem that you%0D%0Aare faced with. Also you need to get involved in your Deen i.e. making your%0D%0Afive daily Salaah in Jamaah as Allah states in the Quraan " Verily Salaah%0D%0Akeeps you away from evil and wrong doing..." Also you need to recite the%0D%0AQuraan daily with the Sunnah duas%0D%0Aafter every Salaah and to keep your tongue wet with the rememberance of%0D%0AAllah all the time.%0D%0A%0D%0ANot forgetting that you got to make the effort from within you as the saying%0D%0Agoes it is mind over matter and if you put Allah before all then you not%0D%0Aonly be cured in this world but also in the Akhirah. So you need to hold on%0D%0Asteadfast to your Deen and talk about the problem and it is%0D%0Ayou that can make the change. Inshallah.%0D%0A%0D%0AMay Allah guide and help you, Ameen%0D%0A%0D%0Aand Allah Ta'ala Knows Best%0D%0A%0D%0Afor: Shaykh Irshaad Amod %2F Moulana Imraan Vawda%0D%0AFATWA DEPT.%0D%0A
