Question<\/h3>\n

A man is born blind. Does God expect this man to fight blindness and try to see with his eyes? <\/p>\n

Thanks for your time and efforts in discussing this matter.<\/p>\n

This is in response to the discussion: Bisexuality and the Family System II<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

It seems to me that whenever a matter cannot be answered\/explained to the satisfaction of reason, it is conveniently placed in the basket of “Imtehaan<\/em> (test)”. <\/p>\n

Answer<\/h3>\n

Dear friend,<\/p>\n

I am sure I have not provided an explanation to your satisfaction. However as it not being to the satisfaction of reason, I will not be able to learn from you and improve my answers unless you guide me and advise me as to which of the arguments I provided seemed to be unreasonable argument to you. <\/div>\n
As a student of Islam my responsibility is not to satisfy the person who asks the question but to make sure I am answering the question based on my best understanding of Islamic sources.<\/div>\n
Perhaps it is now my turn to ask you to shed some light on this issue: <\/div>\n
Any born blind person seeks treatment till when he is told that there is no cure, same goes for a born homosexual. Even then the blind person will continue to fight his blindness instead of giving in by using a guide dog, a stick, etc., same is expected from a homosexual.<\/div>\n
I showed you from the verses of the Qur’an that homosexuality (no matter what the cause of it is) is called Fahisha and Khabees.<\/div>\n
As a student of Islam I cannot convince myself that we should allow this Fahisha and Khabees act take place in a religious society.<\/div>\n
If you think despite the way God has described this act it should still be allowed then I request you to please provide me with some other verses of the Qur’an that give such exceptional allowance. <\/div>\n
Without any evidence from the Qur’an itself, no one is allowed to consider any exceptions. <\/div>\n
Then a question will raise that why this person has to suffer. The only logical explanation that I can find is again from the Qur’an, that this is part of a bigger scenario in this world, that is, it is a test and Insha’Allah much reward is waiting for such person.<\/div>\n
Again, if you have any better explanations please do not hesitate to let me know.<\/div>\n
