I have been learning a lot about Islam recently. Mainly thanks to Islam Youtubers who clear up misconceptions about the religion. I've even began to question whether or not I should convert when I'm older, so I'm doing a lot of research. But there is one problem:
I am a lesbian. I was born this way and I can not turn straight. I want to marry a woman when I'm older. But homosexuality is a sin in Islam. And I know I won't feel sorry for doing so, so there is no chance of forgiveness.
I used to be Catholic when I was little (My family strayed away from it and most of us are atheists). And some Christians believe that one person's love can blot out another person's sin. Is it the same in Islam? Can the love between two people make the sin okay? Can practicing other parts of Islam (Not getting tattoos, not eating pork or drinking alchohol, dressing modestly and praying, for example) and being a good person overpower the sin?

What Should I Do?
So a few months ago I met this guy as part of an arranged marriage meeting. We had two meetings, one was an introduction over coffee to get to know one another...
Your faith is what counts, no religion required.
Catholics are Christians.
The word Islam means "submit", not "peace".
ReplyI am not a scholar but I am Muslim born and raised. From what I have been taught your decisions must be made by your heart, your intentions must be good and pure. You can’t be forced into Islam or to do anything in Islam as that may cause your intentions to become negative. When you become Muslim, all your previous sins are forgiven by God as you have taken a step towards this path. You are correct, Islam forbids same-sex relationships however you are also not being forced into anything. It is your choice as you have the ability to decide. I am not sure about it making the sin okay and I don’t want to spread false information on something I am not sure about but you should try to be the best person you can be no matter what you believe in or what you decide. Even if this deters you from accepting Islam, even if you don’t convert to Islam, be a good person. No one can judge your decisions as humans are not perfect. In Islam we believe that our religion is perfect but not the people who follow it. Only God can judge you, so be a good and respectful person. I hope I was able to help in someway but you should talk to someone with more in depth knowledge about the Quran and the teachings of Islam on this topic. I don’t want to tell you anything false because Islam does forbid these relationships. However, your sins from the past do get erased upon converting which is what I learned at school. I am not sure but now I will do some more research on this topic as well.
ReplyYou cannot be lesbian or gay in Islam.
