Why is it that homosexuality is not allowed in Islam...?

Why is it that Homosexuality is forbidden in Islam? What is the reasoning or explanation behind it? I can not understand why it is forbidden. Homosexuals do not schoose that sexual orientation. That is the way they are. They can't change it. Just like a straight man can not and will not be with another man, a gay man will not and CAN NOT be with a woman.

I think that if God sends another prophet, he will definetly allow homosexuality seeing as it is not one's fault.

Update:

Homosexuality is not a f***ing choice. If you are not gay, don't act like you know its a choice!

... and don't give me that adam and steve crap because it is not based upon evidence! It's just a stupid quote and it is not fit to answer such an important question.

    All the Abrahamic religions consider homosexuality to be an "abomination in the eyes of the Lord", not "just" a sin.

    The probable reasons might be:

    1. following the law of survival - The primary goal of EVERY living organism is that it seeks to reproduce its species. Since queers don't, it can be assumed that they are biologically abnormal, or defective.

    2. Since they don't reproduce, the only way of continuing is to corrupt others with their perversion.

    On top of that, several diseases can be passed on by anal sex, even with 2 healthy individuals. Since there was no cure in the past, many people may have died as a result of queer practices.

    So, the best thing is either to cure them or exterminate them. It's safest for the whole of society !!!!

    No, Islam would not enable homosexuality and is taken under consideration a sin. study up about the activities of Lut's u . s . which became destroyed because each and absolutely everyone began eye-catching in this interest of homosexuality. Lowdown on Islamic marriages? no longer a lot theory, except that women human beings are not allowed to artwork at the same time in a lot activities outdoors the domicile.

    Islam accepts the validity of the Laws of Moses and that Moses was a Prophet of their God. Included in those Laws was a ban on male homosexuality, which all of the faithful are bound to observe. Being God He felt no need to justify or explain his reasoning to his followers, and, being his followers, they saw no reason to ask, only to comply. As one Jewish scholar observed about the restrictions of Kosher, "We do say that we abstain from these things because they are unwholesome or unsavory, they may well be neither, rather we should say we abstain because they are forbidden." The same is true of homosexuality, it's not unnatural since it's been observed to happen regularly among hundreds of different species of mammals and birds world wide, but the Faithful must refrain, even if they are drawn to it, as part of their observance of their Faith. I'm not even a Muslim, but I know that much.

    Hi, i am a muslim and i think the reason homosexuality was forbidden was basically to makesure that we survive, as that god made woman and man to procreate, thats why it is seen so wrong, two men can not have children. it just seems odd for two ppl to b together like that.

    as far as im concerned ur rite sexual orientation is in the mind, but i believe it has alot to do with how we are brought up, to do with nuture. You must remember that god created everything, look around you an observe, look at wildlife..god made everything in pairs, he made man n woman to be a pair. biology, science this all points to the fact fact that it is not meant to be man with man. see it from god point of view and u will inderstand.

    Man with another man - woman with another woman, it's a choice, however Islam does not promote or agree with it.

    Procreation is seen as an important factor in life, to grow, to learn to be a good Muslim, have chidren and bring them up with the same values as you have. You are stopping this being homosexual.

    I live and let live, we are in a more up to date world so things have changed dramatically, all that i consentrate on is following my Faith and to be the best i can be as i know Allah the all mighty wants that for me and my family.

    it is not a choice?? wow... NO you are NOT born gay!!!!

    it is not allowed in a lot of religions, not just Islam. Christianity also does not allow it...

    God put people on this earth to be with the opposite sex... to build a bond through marriage and have children... the right way.. the straight way.

    If you had ever read Old Testamewnt, you would have known that God destroyed the city of homosexuals whose Prophet was Lat.

    God sent two Angels as very handsome young men to kill all homosexual citizens.of Sodom and Gomarah.

    They appeard in the city asking where is house of Lat. The homosexual saw them so handsome, they started following them. By the time they reached the house of Prophet Lat, they grew in number to hundreds. Lat let the Angels in his house and shut his door. The sinful people started banging the doors demanding to handover his guests to them. Prophet Lat pleaded them to marry my daughters and have them for sex which is lawfull to God and stop homosexuality but they replied, you know we have no interest in women, we want your guests.

    Angeles told Prophet Lat that they are Angels of God and these men can not come near us. Then they said, tonight we will destroy this entire city and not a single person will be saved from the wrath of God for their sinful life style. You did your preaching responsibility, they never listened to you and now God has decided to kill them all. After mid night Angels told Prophet Lat to leave and keep running towards one direction they told him with your family members. If any one of you will turn and look back, that person will not be able to go with you. Lat, his wife and two daughtes kept running.

    They were hearing thunder and hail of rocks coming down from skies and houses falling down. His wife turned back to see what is going on and immediately she froze to be a statue of stone.

    This is the punishment from God for the homosexuals. God has repeated this story in Quran and stressed His punishment for such people.

    Your argument is stupid with no merit. Men do what they prefer to do and make such excuses. Muslims fear Allah's punishment and warn people not to commit such sins. It is unnatural and a worst kind of sin. If you don't believe in any religion and want to be homosexual, you are doomed to hell fire whether you believe it or not.

    No matter how many stupid answers you give, you can never convince a Muslim and a Christian and a Jew who truly believe in God and wants to live by the rules of God and believes that in the next life God will punish all sinful people in hell fire. Only sinful homosexuals will believe you.

    Homosexuality is a choice. A homosexual choses to live a life full of lust, greed, and sin. They chose to live a permiscious life filled with sex. The bible says its wrong and the Quran. Its Gods words. Its wrong, do not argue with what God says is wrong.
