The difference between Love and Lust



Islam never forbids a man from loving another man. In fact, Islam encourages mankind to love all humanity regardless of sex or gender.

Islam only forbids a man from having sexual intercourse with another man. To love somebody, you don't have to poke their backside.

How do you feel if someone is poking your son's backside? If you don't like the 'feeling', then please consider how your parents would feel if they found out someone is poking your backside. The urge to poke someone backside is not love. It's lust...

In Islam, sexual lust is considered an act of sin except for the legally married couple. Not only Islam, but other religions of the world also condemned lust and LGBT...

In Buddhism, lust is the ultimate cause of general imperfection and the root cause of certain sufferings. Lust is named in the second of the 'Four Noble Truths', which are that of:

1) Suffering (dukkha) is inherent in all life.

2) Suffering is caused by lust.

3) There is a natural way to eliminate all suffering from one's life.

4) The Noble Eightfold Path is that way.

In Christianity, the Bible strongly condemns homosexuality. Genesis 19:5 interprets that homosexual activity led to the destruction of the ancient cities of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Other Biblical passages that interpret the issue of homosexual behavior include Romans 1:26–27, 1 Corinthians 6:9–10, 1 Timothy 1:10, and Jude 1:7.

In Hinduism, the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna, an Avatar of Vishnu, declared in verse 21 that lust is one of the gates to Naraka or hell.

According to Brahma Kumaris, a spiritual organization which is based on Hindu philosophy, sexual lust is the greatest enemy to all mankind[13] and the gateway to hell.

In Judaism, lusts of the flesh are characterized by Yetzer hara (Hebrew, יצר הרע, the evil inclination). Yetzer hara is man's misuses the things which human needs to survive.

Yetzer HaRa is often identified with Satan and the angel of death that misleads man in this world, and testifies against him in the world to come.

In Sikhism, lust is counted among the five cardinal sins or sinful propensities, the others being anger, ego, greed and attachment. Uncontrollable expression of sexual lust is evil.

Even in Paganism, lust is considered as vice.


Wallahu'alam
