If you do, please let me know. Regarding your answer below, I need further clarification. I am simply trying to better understand the issue so I can explain this to an American friend of mine. There is a young American female doctor who has read about Islam and is interested in becoming a Muslim. She is homosexual. Her homosexuality is congenital (by birth). She did not acquire it as a fashion or to be different from the rest of us or to rebel against God. She wishes she was heterosexual. As I see this situation, her natural tendency toward homosexuality is not her fault or her own choice. God made her like that. Since God made her like that why does God deprive her of a family, adopt a child, and live like anyone else with dignity and respect? This is a predicament for which, I am seeking your comments.I am reasonably sure that Islam accommodates such people; otherwise this would be an injustice on part of God to create someone like her and expect a behavior contrary to her natural tendency.You have stated, \"The Book of God tells us that He created Eve for Adam and set the family right in the beginning\". If one man and one woman is the ONLY form of relationship acceptable to God then how it is that Islam does not restrict it to one man and ONLY one woman? Multiple wives are not only acceptable in Islam but also encouraged if a situation calls for it. If multiple wives is an exceptional case, then it follows by reason that homosexuality is also an exceptional case and should be accepted as such.There are other such cases: a woman cannot conceive and a man is unable to reproduce. These medical conditions are congenital. In some such cases, artificial insemination or medication is used for procreation. If this alternate procedure of procreation is not adapted, then that means these people are doomed by God to live a life of celibacy and without a family. Here are some specific questions:1. Is homosexuality categorically prohibited in the Qur\u2019an? If so, please identify the Ayahs.2. Is there a punishment categorically specified in the Qur\u2019an? If so, what it is?3. What was the Prophet Muhammad\u2019s attitude towards homosexuals in his days? What advice did he give to such people?4. In the days of Hadrat Loot were people homosexual by choice or was this tendency congenital (by birth). 5. Are there any ahadith that may shed light on this issue?6. Most importantly, what does the Qur\u2019an or Islam teachings recommend these people do in their lives?Thank you again for all your responses and your time.* This is a counter query on the discussion: The Family System"}
