English translation of LGBT video by JAKIM

"After we understand the terms, now let us understand how Islam interact with the issue. Verily, there are some muslims that have non-heterosexual orientation, but standing firm in Islamic teaching. To them, it is a test from Allah. They prefer to face the test as per demand by Islam. 

Surat Al-'Anbyā' (The Prophets), Chapter 21, Verse 35:

"Every soul will taste death. And We test you with evil and with good as trial; and to Us you will be returned." (Quran 21:35)

How to change the same sex attraction

We have to realize that same sex attraction (SSA) is like horse riding. It can be train although quite difficult. When a person realize that his sexual orientation differ than another people and try to change it, he need training and guidance that take times. In conjunction to that, what should he do to change the sexuality?

1. Bear in mind that he wants to change for the sake of Allah, not because of coercion from anyone else. 
2. To perform 'taubat nasuha' (sincere repentance :- repent and trying not to repeat again).
3. To leave the things that may lead you to be LGBT again. (such as pornography).
4. After the sincere repent, the next focus is to fulfill sexual desire by marry to opposite gender.
5. Otherwise, to control the sexual desire by fasting, just like encouraged by the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).
6. To respect and protect own dignity.
7. Bear in mind that not all people are SSA.
8. Be in a good positive environment and intercommunication with good and nice people.
9. Be patience and remember Allah always. Daily prayers may remind you of Allah.

If you have a LGBT friend, you should be patience and rely on Allah. Face it with wisdom with an intention to help him until he can change. Remind them of the straight path. Maintain his dishonor, except he himself revealed it to the others.

Allah can turn your heart back and forth. Allah is sufficient for us. Make dua (supplication) to Him and rely on Him, for all the things in our bodies including the sexual orientation be in the way that accepted by Allah.

Allah directs the heart as He wills

Abdullah b. Amr b. al-'As reported that he heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:

"Verily, the hearts of all the sons of Adam are between the two fingers out of the fingers of the Compassionate Lord as one heart. He turns that to any (direction) He likes. Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: 0 Allah, the Turner of the hearts, turn our hearts to Thine obedience."

Anas bin Malik (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Among the inmates of Hell, a person who had led the most luxurious life in this world will be brought up on the Day of Resurrection and dipped in the Fire and will be asked: 'O son of Adam! Did you ever experience any comfort? Did you happen to get any luxury?' He will reply: 'By Allah, no, my Rubb.' And then one of the people of Jannah who had experienced extreme misery in the life of this world will be dipped in Jannah. Then he will be asked: 'O son of Adam! Did you ever experience any misery? Did you ever encounter difficulty?' He will say: "By Allah, no my Rubb, I neither experienced misery nor passed through hardship".
