Special Episode: Islam and Same-Sex Attraction | Islam and Evidence

Islam makes a distinction that almost never appears in media coverage: the distinction between what a person feels and what a person chooses to do.

Islamic theology holds that accountability is for choices, not for inclinations one did not ask for. Same-sex attraction is understood as a test — and the person experiencing it is not lesser in God's sight because of it. What is regulated is the action — and the same regulation applies equally to everyone, regardless of the attraction they experience.

This episode presents Islam's actual position with theological accuracy and without political framing.
