Ar-Rijsul Mal’oon — The Accursed Filth (Islamic View On LGBT,Masturbation,etc)
INSAAN – ALLAH’S NOBLEST CREATION
[Majlisul Ulama]
Verily we have ennobled the Children of Adam (Insaan), and We have carried them on the land and the sea, and We have nourished them with Tayyibat (halaal and wholesome food), and We have granted them superiority over numerous of Our creation [Surah al-Israa’: Aayat 70]
Allah Ta’ala has deputed the Mu’min man to be His Vicegerent on earth. Insaan is a creation enjoying vast superiority over all other forms of creation. Even the Malaaikah had been commanded to prostrate to Aadam (alayhissalaam). The Sujood was commanded to illustrate Insaan’s superiority over even the sinless Malaaikah.
Insaan will remain ennobled and superior as long as he retains his Insaaniyat (humanity). When man extinguishes his attribute of Insaaniyat, then he denegrates to depths far below the level of even dogs and pigs.
The methodology by which secular education is imparted in this age, i.e. the western secular system, effaces almost every attribute of Islamic Insaaniyat. All the noble attributes of moral excellence which sustain insaaniyat uttrerly distinguished by the libertinism which is innate in the western system of education. The immoral, debased, perverted lifestyle of the students of western universities is vociferous and conspicious evidence for this reality.
One of the prime effects of the immoral cult of westernism is sexual perversion – perversion which puts even the shayaateen to shame – perversion which not even the lowly beasts of the jungle indulge in. Western education cloaks sex perversion such as gayism, lesbianism, homosexuality, masturbation, oral sec and many other forms of sexual perversion initially unknown to even the shayaateen, with respectability. Even such perverts which put the shayaateen to shame are accorded respectability in western civilization.
Whilst Muslims of all persuasions still are unanimous in the rejection of the immoral villianies of gayism, lesbianism and homosexuality, their emulation of the western kuffaar has made sexual acts of perversion such as masturbarion and oral sex acceptable. Thus it is known that these satanic misdeeds of sexual perversion are widely practised by even Muslims of this age.
Some scholars, citing obscurities and blissfully unaware of reality, bestow the mantle of permissibility and acceptabiloty to these filthy, demeaning, immoral, accursed acts of sexual perversion. Acts of sexual perversion are morally destructive and physically debilitating. It should be well understood that everything which Allah Ta’ala has made haraam – everything whuch is filth (rijs), in addition to the spiritual ruin following in its wake, the physical body too is harmed. Two well known physically harmful effects of the perversion of masturbation are weakening of vision, weakenung of sexual prowess and even impotency.
The worst destruction wrought by sexual perversion is the total darkening of the spiritual heart. The Noor of Imaan is effaced. The Noor of Aql is effaced. Zulmat (spiritual darkness) envelops the heart. When man’s spiritual stamina is destroyed, his insaaniyat vanishes and he becomes sub-bestial – worse than dogs and pigs. May Allah Ta’ala save us from the evil lurking in our nafs and from the snares of deception of shaitaan, the accursed one.
THE ABOMINATION OF MASTURBATION
Allah Ta’ala says in the Holy Qur’an That He has not placed on any persons a burden or a responsibility which the person cannot bear. Every command and prohibition which Allah Ta’ala has ordered Muslims to observe are fully within their control. However, the nafs and shaitaan convince people that they are unable to control their desires. This idea is fixed into the imagination and the deceived person starts to believe that he is unable to withdraw himself from the crime or evil in which he is involved.
The sin of masturbation is an evil of exceptionally grave implications in both this world world and the Aakhirah. For a couple of minutes of nafsaani and carnal pleasure, the Mu’min sacrifices his everlasting pleasure of the Aakhirah and in addition invites great worldly calamities on himself. Among the calamities of the hereafter for this evil act, is the disgrace mentioned in the following Hadith:
“The Masturbator is Mal’oon (cursed by Allah Ta’ala).”
“On the day of Qiyaamah the masturbator’s hand will be pregnant”
Everyone will then see the disgrace of the masturbator. Besides these, there are other severe punishments in store for these evil act.
Among the worldly punishments for this crime is the later sexual impotency which the masturbator will suffer. In later years after marriage he will regret when it is too late to regret. The Masturbator becomes sexually weaker with each act of Masturbation until it will reach a degree that he will not be able to satisfy his wife’s sexual desire. This will lead to grave problems in married life. Numerous people who had involved themselves in this abomination run around for medical treatment in a bid to gain sexual prowess, but every treatment fails because the impotency is a punishment from Allah Ta’ala for having committed the unnatural abuse.
It is therefore, essential that you sum up courage and seek Allah’s aid and suppress your nafs. Remember that nothing can be achieved without struggling against the nafs. Mujaahadah is essential. Dua’ is not sufficient is such things. The need is to struggle and ask Allah’s help.
Ask yourself the question: “If the urge for this evil rises in me and even if it appears to be overwhelming, will I indulge in it if my Ustaadh is standing in my presence? Will I indulge in this act if I know that my father is awake in the room watching me? Will I do this evil deed if for example Hazratji is sleeping in the bed alongside me and he is awake?”
Most certainly you will say: “No!” That you will never commit this act in such circumstances. This indicates. Allah Ta’ala has in fact created sufficient willpower in every person to combat the urge of the nafs. But we are deceived and tricked by shaitaan to believe that we are unable to restrain ourselves. If one truly is unable to restrain oneself, then how come a person is able to restrain himself when in the presence of his seniors?
Now you should ponder that Allah Ta’ala is watching your every move in the darkness of the room. While you are perpetrating the vile deed, Allah Ta’ala looks on. The two recording Angels are standing nearby looking on, shaking their heads in shame and recording the evil deed with great grief. Is your Ustaadh, your father and Hadhratji more important than Allah Ta’ala? Nauthubillah!
You can restrain yourself if you know your seniors are with you in the room, but you think that you cannot restrain yourself when even you have the knowledge of the fact that Allah Ta’ala and the Malaaikah too are with you in the room where you are committing this very grave and immoral misdeed.
Tell yourself, “What would be my condition, if my maut (death) comes while I am indulging in this act? How will I face Allah Ta’ala on the Day of Qiyaamah if I have to die in the process of this very evil deed? People have died in such vile circumstances, thereby destroying their life of the Aakhirah.
When the urge for this evil deed rises in you. Immediately recite Audhubillahi.. and Wala Haula.. Get up, perform Wudhu and two rak’ats of Nafl Salaah and sit a few minutes in Thikrullah. By repearedly doing so and pondering in the way explained above, Insha-Allah, you will overvome the onslaught of the nafs and regain your purity.
If you are not going to muster up courage and make mujaahadah against your nafs, your ilm will be devoid of noor. There will be no Barakat in the knowledge you pursue and no Barakat in your life. You will be constantly under the Wrath and Curse of Allah Ta’ala. May Allah Ta’ala save us all. The walls, the bed, the floor and everything in the room will bear evidence in the Aakhirah of the vile deed you are indulging in.
I take an oath by Allah Ta’ala that it is not difficult to suppress your nafs and over come its evil urge. You only have to abandon your imagination and a few times muster up courage. Break out of the room when the urge comes and take wudhu.
When the bandah tries, Allah Ta’ala will then send His Aid. But if you are not going to struggle, you should not expect Allah’s aid. We make dua’ that Allah Ta’ala saves us all from the evil lurking in our nafs.
HOMOSEXUALITY
One of our reader writes, “Recently I met a person who appeared very feminine. However, I was informed that the person is a Muslim male. Could you please explain such persons – homosexuals and the like – in the light of Islam? This subject is never dealt with. How does one identify such persons? For example: A child is born male but whilst growing up some changes may occur such as an inclination to feminine way of speech and dress. In some cases a person appears as a normal male but has a tendency towards male relationship. How does one cope with such a problem Islamically, socially, medically, etc.? In some cases, some persons possess both male and female sexual organs. Please enlighten us.”
Answer: A homosexual is a person who engages in unnatural sexual relations with a member of his own sex, i.e. with a male. Female ‘homosexuals’ are known as lesbians. Such unnatural acts are evil, immoral and haraam. The punishment for this type of abomination is severe in this world as well as in the Hereafter. If convicted in an Islamic court of Law, severe punishment is meted out.
Homosexuality is not the consequence of mental imbalance or insanity. It is the result of the evil of the nafs (man’s lowly carnal self) in the same way as fornication and other acts of immorality and sins are the effect of the evil nafs. A person who indulges in adultery does so because of the evil of his/her nafs, not because of any defect in the mind. The same applies to those who indulge in the immoral and unnatural act as homosexuality.
Those born with both male and female sexual organs are known as khunthaa (hermaphrodites).
They are not homosexuals. According to the shariah there are three types of khunthaa:
(1) Those born with both male and female organs, but the male sexual organ is functionary i.e. if the urination is by the male organ. The shariah classifies such hermaphrodites as males.
(2) If the Khunthaa urinayes via the female organ, the person is classified as a female.
(3) If the urination is by the way of both male and female organs, it will have to be ascertained from which organ the urination occurs first. If by the male organ first, the child will be classified a male and if by the female organ first, it will be a female.
This system of classification will apply to the new-born baby.
When the hermaphrodite attains buloogh (puberty) classification will be determined by physical development of the various organs and inclination. If for example a beard grows or by nature the khunthaa is attracted to females then the person will be classified as a male. If female breasts appear or haidh (menstruation) occurs, the khunthaa will be classified a female. Of neither male nor female signs assert themselves and no particular tendency is dominant, the person will be described as khunthaa-Mushkeil. Neither male nor female.
Once the hermaphrodite has been positively classified, the persons will be a member of the sex to which he/she has been assigned and all shari’i rules will apply.
With regard to the tendencies and inclinations of the hermaphrodites, there are two kinds. The one type of hermaphrodite imitates the opposite sex by deliberate design. Such hermaphrodites have been cursed by Rasulullah (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam). Their expulsion was ordered by Rasulullah (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam). Women have to adopt Purdah for them. Such accursed persons should not be permitted to appear in the presence of females according to the shariah.
The second type of hermaphrodite has certain inclinations and tendencies by nature. They do not consciously simulate a particular sex. This class is ma’zoor (excused) and liable for punishment. Hermaphrodites, while having the deformity of two sets of sexual organs do not normally suffer deformity of the mind. They are not insane. Once the hermaphrodite has been positively classified, he or she will have to abide by the restrictions and rules applicable to his/her sex. If the khunthaa has been classified as a male and he indulges in sexual relations with a man, he will be guilty of the sin of homosexuality.
A child born with only male organs will be a male even if female inclinations develop in him at a later stage. Such a person, i.e. with only male organs, is neither a hermaphrodite nor a homosexual. Yes, if he commits homosexuality, he will be he will be known as a homosexual liable for the punishment which an Islamic court will prescribe. But, he is a male and according to the Shariah he is prescribed to control his emotions even if he is abnormal and unnatural. He has to make mujaahdah (strive) against the nafs just as the man who desires to commit fornication has to strive against his nafs. A man under severe nafsaani temptation to fornicate cannot argue extenuating circumstances for his sin. The Shariah will not accept his arguments. Similarly, the one who commits homosexuality has no valid reason to vindicate himself for indulgence in unnatural acts of abomination.
It is not the Aql (intelligence) which produces the desire to commit evil, be the evil natural such as sexual relations with the opposite sex, or unnatural such as sexual relations with members of the same sex. The carnal nafs in the human beings impelled by the shaitaan induces the person to perpetrate immorality of all kinds. Every person is therefore commanded by Islam to resort to mujaahadah (striving) against his carnal desires and evil promptings.
If the hermaphrodite has been classified as the member of a particular sex, it will be permissible for that person to resort to medical aid to eliminate the other unwanted sexual organ, etc.
If the person is a khunthaa mushkiel (neither male or female) medical aid may be resorted to with a view to bringing about the assertion of the functions of one set of organs so that the peraon may be classified. When a khunthaa mushkeil dies, ghusl will not be given to the body. Yes, Tayammum will be made for it.

“Rasulullah (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) cursed such males who imitate women and such women who imitate men” -Bukhari
DESTRUCTION OF THE NATION OF HOMOSEXUALS
The Dead Sea region was the land of the homosexuals and the gays. The region with its entire population destroyed by Allah’s terrible punishment comprised of the towns and cities of Mee’ah, Sa’rah, Asra, Dawma and Sadoom. Sadoom was the largest city. All these cities together with all the inhabitants were utterly annihilated by Allah’s punishment which came in three forms:
(1) A mighty scream which shattered their ears and internal organs.
(2) Overturning of the cities. The Angel dug his wing deep into the earth under these vile locations and taking the entire region into space, flipped it upside down to be crushed into obliteration.
(3) A horrendous shower of brimstones. Each stone was inscribed with the name of a homosexual who was struck with precision by the stone ordained for him.
Narrating the episode of the homosexuals and their annihilation, the Qur’aan says:
“And remember Loot when he said to his people: ‘What do you commit such immoral abomination which no one in the universe had perpetrated before you?’ Verily, you approach for sexual gratification men instead of women. In fact, you are a grossly transgressing people.”
The response of his people was nothing but that they said: ‘Expel them (Loot and his group) from your town. They are a group who seek to be holy.’
Then We saved him and his family, except his wife (who was a kaafir) She was of those who remained behind (to be obliterated by the punishment).”
We showered on them torrential rain (of brimstone as mentioned in other verses). So see what was the disastrous end of criminals.” [Surah Al- A’raaf, aayaat 80 – 84]
The villainy and destruction of the homosexuals are mentioned in several places in the Qur’aan Majeed. The people of Nabi Loot (alayhis salaam) were the first on earth to initiate the unnatural, immoral, filth of homosexuality. This filth had so deranged their hearts and brains, rendering them incapable of distinguishing between male and female. Homosexuality became the accepted and ‘natural’ norm among them in the same way as the South African constitution has created honour and respect for this abomination.
The stones which struck each and every homosexual was a special type of hard-baked pebble, each pebble bearing the name of the filthy criminal it had to strike. Every homosexual was overtaken by the chastisement except one man who was at that time on a trade -journey in the Haram of Makkah. He was saved from the punishment for 40 days due to his presence in Makkah. After 40 days, as soon as he reached outside the precincts of the Haram, the stone on which his name was inscribed struck him, and he too perished.
Also, all homosexuals who were not inside the doomed towns when the punishment struck, but who were on journies were killed by their respective stones. Nabi Loot’s wife who was a kaafirah was also killed by the punishment.
The Dead Sea remains to this day an ominous monument to remind mankind of the terrible fate which overtook the nation of gays and homosexuals. Similar fates await nations in this age who have legalized and bestowed respect on homosexuality, lesbianism and gayism. Allah’s Athaab will most certainly overtake and utterly destroy the perpetrators and legalizers of this filth and unnatural abomination which puts dogs, pigs and devils to shame. Since the act of homosexuality is unnatural – an upside down act of filth – one form of the punishment was also ‘upside down’ to symbolize the wickedness of the rijs (filth) of this abomination. The ‘upside down’ dimension of the three-fold punishment was that Hadhrat Jibraeel (alayhis salaam) took the entire region decadent with the filth of homosexuality, to a certain height in space, then smashed it to earth upside down.
May Allah Ta’ala save us all from the evil in our nafs and from His Wrath.
