Being gay and muslim
As someone from the Hindu community, I'm open about my sexuality with some friends and continue to practice my faith. Personally, I've never felt that being queer is in conflict with my religious beliefs, as Hinduism doesn't condemn homosexuality. However, I recognize that this may not be the case for everyone — especially for those who are queer and Muslim.Traditional interpretations of Islam view same-*** intimacy as sinful. I'm genuinely interested in hearing from a Muslim man who identifies as gay. I can only imagine how complex it must feel to be born into a community where your sexuality may not be openly accepted. How does it affect your sense of self — your faith, your identity, your relationships? Is there a way to find balance between both parts of who you are — being Muslim and being gay? I’d really value hearing personal perspectives on this. Reply/Post a comment

Thank you for asking this with sincerity and respect. This👇👇 is a response grounded in traditional Islamic teachings, shared with respect and care. It’s meant to reflect the personal and theological tension many Muslim queer individuals experience, not to judge or invalidate anyone’s path
Your openness and empathy are genuinely appreciated, especially when discussing something so deeply personal and nuanced.
In traditional Islamic teachings, same-*** sexual relations are considered sinful. This is based on interpretations of the Qur'an, Hadith, and centuries of scholarly consensus. *However, it’s also important to understand that Islam makes a clear distinction between feelings and actions. Experiencing same-*** attraction is not sinful in itself; rather, the sin is understood to lie in acting on those desires sexually, in the same way Islam regulates heterosexual conduct (outside marriage, for example).*
*That said, being Muslim is about striving for a relationship with God*, and every Muslim has personal challenges—whether they are related to desires, habits, or identity. Some Muslims who identify as gay choose celibacy or find other ways to reconcile their faith and identity without acting on their desires. Others may interpret the scriptures differently, seeking inclusive readings. Still others live with the tension, navigating both their religious commitments and their sexual identity with quiet resilience.
This isn’t easy. It can feel isolating. Faith communities may not always be welcoming, and queer spaces may not always understand religious commitment. But many Muslims in this situation still find deep meaning in their relationship with Allah, in prayer, fasting, and seeking His mercy.
For those who are struggling, it’s important to remember that Islam is also a religion of compassion, privacy, and inner striving (jihad al-nafs). Only Allah fully knows each person’s path, their sincerity, and their struggle. Judgment belongs to Him alone.
So yes, it is possible to be both Muslim and gay in terms of identity—though it often involves tension, sacrifice, and personal interpretation. Each individual must find their way with sincerity, and as Muslims, we are taught to support one another with kindness, not condemnation.
Thank you again for creating space for this conversation with care and openness. May all of us, regardless of our backgrounds, walk with empathy and understanding toward one another. |

While Islam condemns same-*** relationships it hasnt stopped muslim people from indulging in them although the risk is very high and it might come at the cost of your safety or even life. Most Islamic countries have banned same-*** relationships and if you are caught, the penalty can be quite severe. On the other hand, countries like pakistan & afghanistan have a concept of "bachha baazi" where young boys are traded in open bazaars for *** or as *** slaves. Personally, I find this practice quite disgusting and immoral.
I have come across a lot of muslim men on this website but their religious ideologies and mentality are conflicting with mine so I declined them as politely as possible. As friends, they are cool but I wont go any further than that. Mind you, I have a few cousins and close family friends who are muslims so dont try to call me islamophobic. I respect all religions but not at the cost of my own peace of mind or safety. I would rather remove myself from the equation than cause trouble or hurt someones religious sentiments. |

While my comment is not fully in line with the post, one of the best hookup I had was with a Pakistani Muslim.
Being in UK, legally, everyone has freedom to practice one's own sensuality while the church here has still not agreed to conduct same *** weddings in Church, however, as I understand, there are communities in UK where Shariah law is allowed. Hence it may be difficult for such people to be part of the community and same time practice their sexual orientation. Since then, I have met 3 other Pakistani Muslims who was married and had kids as well. Even back in India I had a chat with one man but never happened to meet.
I am Hindu. and visit temples as well. I belive, faith is what we are brought up with mostly by parents and get instilled into our brain. our orientation is results of our hormones and exposure. Unfortunately these two conflict more so for Muslims. But what I have heard(just heard) that a lot of kids who are sent for religious education at a young age are sexually exploited. So neither life nor religion has been fair to anyone. But for people who are into it sometimes it is a pain. |

I agree with your what you wrote above, since I had multiple sexual encounters with Pathans from Afghanistan who are refugees in India, staying in Delhi. I mated with the pervert Pathans who were above 50 and 60 years old. They were completely dedicated to have their pleasure from my body. I was very young at that time, so I had no religious or cultural curiosity, to ask such questions. But what I noticed was that they were never scared to be caught by anyone in the act. In fact that took pride in sharing with their friends how they pierced my tiny *** with their meat pipe.
Yes, the sheikhs from UAE and Maulanas from Iran do give a vibe that they want to keep everything secret. The only thing that's common between all muslim men that I mated was that they all prayed dedicatedly. That discipline and fear of being exposed doing forbidden sexual acts with another man does make them extremely excited, which makes it more thrilling for me as a submissive bottom! |
