I'm very impressed with his articulation of this sensitive social issue. He seems to take a multi-dimensional approach and he has done his due diligence in understanding LGTQI people. I know of at least two dozen LGBTQI Muslims. Many of them are practising Muslims and continue to fast during Ramadan and pray 5 times a day. Muslim religious leaders may have initially taken a more 'black and white' stance a few years ago, which came across as intolerant'. But the current Mufti, the Asatizah, an Muslim community leaders are demonstrating that they are willing to learn adjust and grow from past experiences and embrace their fellow LGBTQI Muslims with love, humanity. inclusivity and compassion.

I actually learnt a lot from the Dr Nasir. In particular, if the religion is to offer teachings, and to bring believers closer to the entity of their worship, the teachings are then just a guidance to help believers rather than a set of rules to abide by in absolution. In that sense, different religions can offer differing guidances, and yet allow the coexistence of others with differing believes. In this particular case, the difference in belief is in the LGBTQ issue. Am I right to say that while religions can have an opinion, the stance shouldn't be one that dismisses others with differing opinions? I'm babbling... but you know what I mean.

Stands - Our faith. No mean NO. 2. Compassion- Touch upon the detrimental aspect of this movement. What it does to the phsycology, mentality and health. Not only the muslim, but for the non muslim. 3. First world problem - This topic shouldn't be fit for world discussion. As it is first world problem. Why not focus more on the actual world problems. In conclusion, strong and confident stands on our faith as a muslim, follow by compassion & advice. Mufti shows 110% compassion and non on stands on faith and advice. And it's not even complex.

It’s forbidden any form of homosexuality in ISLAM. the same goes for christianity and Judaism.

For those who keep bashing the Mufti for being unclear, watch from 21:31. He clearly states the position in is Islam and there is no doubt that he shares the same position. Your bashings and oversimplified comments are exactly why this requires careful messaging. To many, he represents a religious authority and thus his words carry enormous weight. Had he merely said LGBT is haram and these people should be frowned upon, the lot of you will happily quote the mufti when you curse and ill treat the LGBT folks. The issue is not as easy as slamming the rules in their faces and force them to follow else they will be jailed or stoned. That will not happen in Singapore and we should not hope to see it. But what can happen is for us, who claim to be the ummah of Muhammad pbuh, he who has shown his rahmah to disbelievers and wrongdoers, to emulate him and guide those who still want to enter the mosque in search of Allah's mercy and guidance. Let us not be lazy. Let us play a part to engage with them and help guide them. Certainly, it's much easier for us to just say they are wrong and sinful, but it is far more difficult to contemplate and try to understand what conditioned them to think in the manner that they do.

This Mufti doesn't represent Islam. When it comes to Islam, Allah make it very clear what is right and wrong. Allah is the Creator and He knows what's the best for His creations.

It is black and white and it's fine to acknowledge that. Granted you are in very tough position but you still need to stand somewhere - black or white.

Could you help me understand please?” Great-Grandmother smiled and said “during my time many years ago, we used to live in a kampung and did not have a big pan so I had to cut the fish into parts so that I can cook them properly.” This story is one that speaks of the caveats of legalism.

With all due respect to our Mufti, the issue is actually black and white - at least on a theological level. The homosexual act itself is a grievous sin in Islam. It has always been a sin for the last 1400 years. And it will continue to be a sin. That aspect has to be made clear. It is not contingent upon the vicissitudes of ‘changing societal norms’. That has to be made clear. I do agree with the Mufti that we need to show compassion when dealing with those in the Muslim community grappling with SSA. Muslim professionals in the field have assured me there are procedures in place that r research-based and scientific on dealing with these matters.

I tolerate the presence of homosexuals and do not reject them. But I strongly oppose their rights to marry and raise children. Firstly, the effect on the child as he/she grows up in an Asian society with traditional values, with possible abuse/rejection/ostracisation by other children and adults; the personal confusion with regards to what is normal; moral issues and ambiguities about the child's genealogy especialy when conceived through a surrogate parent outside of the homosexual partnership, the pain of rejection from potential heterosexual life partners due the unorthodox parents in laws (and the issues faced by their descendants). Societal problems relating to the family are already difficult, and allowing LGBT the rights to raise children only adds to the problems. LGBT is handled differently by many societies, yet we are being force-fed alien values originating from so-called developed nations. It does not help that they monopolise the mass media to the extent they neo colonise the cultural mindsets of young generations through normalising LGBT in news, movies, and songs. LGBT is a tolerated undercurrent in many societies, dealt in diverse ways, and should remain so. We wonder if the violent backlash to LGBT in many 'developing' countries is due to LGBT being proselytised by USA and Western European countries. The current situation in Singapore screams loudly of Asian LGBT myopic selfishness.🎉

1. If you are worried about rejection/abuse of these children by other's in society, why not take start by accepting these people in the first place, who were simply born this way and take a step towards societal acceptance such that these children and people won't have to be discriminated? 2. What is inherently wrong with being LGBT? Are they harming you personally just by being different? They are born this way and cannot change it (why would they not want to change it if they could and avoid all of these reduced rights, discrimination, rejection, etc in life) 3. What is selfish about people wanting to love who they want to love with consent? How do an LGBTQ people to be with who they want mutually in any way mean selfishness? Isn't it more selfish for you, probably a straight person, to decide who someone can or cannot love? What if society was in an opposite way such that LGBTQ was the norm, and being straight was rejected, how would you feel to be in such a position? 4. On a slight aside about some people saying LGBTQ people are possibly not good parents, why is the assumption made that only heterosexual parents can be good parents? There are many cases of heterosexual parents being abusive towards their child, or being absent in their lives, etc. How does a straight parent differ from a LGBTQ parent? Clearly there are straight parents who have LGBTQ children, hence your argument about LGBTQ parents possibly influencing their children to be LGBTQ does not hold very well since not all straight parents can fully influence their child to be straight just because they are straight. The very fact that an LGBTQ couple would go to the point of having a surrogate child suggests their planning and thought that had went into taking care of their child to make sure that they grow up well?

@@pakngah3715 It's selfish to want to form your own family unit? I would argue that as long as LGBT couples can provide a safe and loving household, the upbringing the child would experience would be far better that, say, a household with poor family planning, or a single parent household. Perhaps we should remove children from households with absent fathers because of the poor outcomes generally associated with single mother households. But we don't do that, barring really dire situations, because it's a cruel thing to do. I think we've seen that children with LGBT parents in the west have turned out pretty normal, and the other concerns you listed are generally associated with societal norms, which are dynamic and change over time. In any case, LGBT individuals make up a relatively small proportion of society. I doubt legalising marriage and allowing them to raise kids will lead to any sort of seismic negative shift in society.

He did not come a punisher because judgment belongs to God alone. Sodom was punished by God. Our role as fellow human beings and fellow Muslims is to reach out to them to bring back into our fold. The more we shun them, the more they will cross over to the extreme element of this LGBTQ ideology.

It’s simple look around in Muslim majority countries n see the conditions of homosexuality or LGBT’s community. It’s crystal clear black and white.

My question is the mufti capable of handling this issue Islamically? Does he consult all other ulamas? Answering multi dimensions, complex society, empathy, kindness? What is the rule if a shemale (original a male but operated n removed male genitals) go to female toilets, take wudhu, pray with females, get married as females? No one is allow to change or mend Rules and Laws from Allah, that already been fixed, homosexuality is not new. Only there are khilaf on the opinions of ulamas on this issues.
