Peace,
Please find below a quotation from an article:
Although in Islamic doctrine:
- homosexual acts were seen as an aberration against God,
- homosexual desire was not condemned as harshly by the prophet, and was even viewed as understandable.
Jim Wafer, in his article "Muhammed and Male Homosexuality", states that because men caught in homosexual acts were not punished if penitent, Muhammed must have taken a "lenient attitude toward sex between males" (Wafer, 89). He points out that Muhammed must have understood the attraction of men for young males as paradise has young cup bearers as well as beautiful women, or houris:
Round about them will serve,
(Devoted) to them,
Youths (handsome) as Pearls
Well-guarded
-- (Sura 52:24)
Also,
Verse 25: who are questioning who? Youth? if so, why would they be concerned for their families? Parents should be concerned if they became too involved with them to the point of neglecting their duties to God.
