Homosexuality is illegal in Islam but some hesitate to voice this. A Muslim must condemn homosexuality.

Since they don’t abide by the Qur’an, they form four different sets of what is lawful and unlawful, that is to say sects, and then ostracize each other. Religion is one, not four.

Rendering judgment in the name of God and inventing new lawful and unlawful acts in the name of God means ascribing partners to God and that is why bigots are also idolaters.

Since we abide by the Qur'an and are scrupulous about what is lawful and what is not, we are the enlightened bright face of Islam.

We are a modern, secular, enlightened, democratic community that takes everything beautiful as a basis, that demands what is elegant and high-quality, that are keen on what is lawful and what is not.

Women should look attractive, well-groomed, charming yet be highly virtuous. Looking attractive is not unlawful. What is unlawful is unchastity.

God has created women as pure as divine light, as befitting of human nature. Take women lawfully in marriage. Once you marry a woman, you will be together forever, even in the afterlife. Homosexuality is forever unlawful. Men having homosexual relations with other men instead of pure, beautiful women, is a horrible and disgusting deed.

Homosexuality is a disgusting perversion that is completely against the human nature. God has rendered women lawful for men through marriage. This is what God granted as beautiful and a blessing.

Islam promotes liberties to the utmost. There are only things that are lawful and unlawful. People are completely free within the boundaries of lawful and unlawful. In other words, social pressure has no place in Islam.

When the Qur'an commands "do not go near to fornication" (Surat al-Isra, 32) this verse forbids sexual relations which are unlawful.

Homosexual relations will forever be deemed unlawful. It has been unlawful since the beginning of the world and will remain so till eternity. God never approves such foul behavior.

Mourning was practiced by ancient Summerians, Akkadians, Hittites, Egyptians and other idol-worshiping tribes; it is forbidden in the Quran through a large number of verses and hadiths. It completely contradicts putting trust in God.

They think that it is heroic to complicate Islam to the point of being impracticable. They want plenty of things to be rendered unlawful. Yet they don’t even refrain from committing the deeds declared unlawful by themselves. They say, "Otherwise everything would become lawful". That is the way Islam is; everything is lawful. Unlawful deeds are in the few. Such compulsion has no place in Islam. Prayers are quite easy to perform as well. Bigots are devastating the religion by complicating it.

Alcoholic beverages have nothing good about them. Before all else it’s forbidden according to religion. It’s very harmful, it harms the liver and the brain.

Four different schools of Islam make contradictory statements re lawful and unlawful. One religious scholar opposes the other. Islam is one and exists in the Qur'an.

A Muslim can never encourage or set the stage for something that is forbidden in the Qur'an.

Homosexuality is an illegal act according to the Qur’an, the Torah and the Gospels. Muslims are obliged to speak of the foulness of acts that are illegal according to the Qur’an.

Wastage is unlawful in religion. Muslims should fiercely avoid wasting the blessings they are given.

The End Times is such a fierce time that unlawful acts are carried out invoking the Name of God, as if they are the commands of God.

Of course we can have music and dancing and fun. You must not add artificial prohibitions to the faith. And then Islam will rule the world.

In Islam, it is wrong to be averse to Jews. Surely, one can feel resentment towards those individuals who have committed sins or those who have oppressed people. In that case, those individuals should be held accountable through the legal system. But blaming the entire Israeli people, that is forbidden. It is not Islamic.

Fear of the future is religiously unlawful, a Muslim cannot think that way. God is the One Who creates every single second of our lives. All the precautions you take might come back to you as troubles. For instance, you might think about saving money but that might all end up going for cancer treatment or somehow otherwise be spent. You buy a house and God makes it collapse on top of you. One cannot put his trust in such things, but only in God. Anything other than that would be very wrong and would offend God.

Muslims give advice to others regarding what is unlawful by religion, but do not interfere in anyone’s way of living.

According to those who don't abide by the Qur'an, it's illegæal to "take photos, dance, read poetry or cut one's beard." These are not in the Qur'an.

In Orthodox understanding of Islam, life means misery. They deemed everything illegal; music and television are illegal according to their understanding.
