#62. Why do LGBTQ+ supporters and leaders hate Islam?

So to answer this question, our ustadh Shamshi, whenever he speaks with non-Muslims, after he explains the five necessities of Islam, he explains why people hate Islam.

He boils it down into two main categories of people, and these two categories are present in the Qur’an and Sunnah.

Before that, let's first discuss the five necessities of Islam, which scholars and callers present to people:

The five necessities (Ad-Dharooriyyaat Al-Khams) are recognized and protected not only by the Islamic law (sharee'ah), but also by all the (divine) laws. The fact that the Islamic sharee'ah recognizes and protects them is one of the indisputably established facts of Islam that stands in no need of proof or deduction. It is not based on a specific piece of evidence; rather, it is derived through the Istiqraa' (induction) of a group of the mutawaatir texts of sharee'ah (i.e. texts that are reported by a group of narrators from a group of narrators, generation after generation and so forth, and they are all trustworthy people and it is absolutely impossible for them to agree on a lie) that indicate it.

Imam Ash-Shaatibi^[1] may Allaah have mercy upon him wrote about the five fundamental necessities and their supportive evidence, "The Muslim nation - or rather all nations - has collectively agreed on the fact that the sharee'ah aims at the preservation of the five necessities, which are: religion, life, mind, offspring and property. Knowledge of this is an essential part of religion. This was not established through a specific textual evidence; rather, it was known to conform to the sharee'ah through numerous pieces of evidence that cannot possibly be listed in one chapter." [Al-Muwaafaqaat]

Hence, the recognition of the five necessities by the sharee'ah is not a matter of Ijtihaad (scholarly reasoning). Rather, it is a decisive, well-established fact, and it is agreed upon by the consensus of the scholars.

Question: What are the five basic human rights, or essentials, that Allaah safeguarded for the people through the message and mission of each and every prophet He sent?

Answer: They are as follows:

Ad-Deen (The Religion).
An-Nafs (Physical Safety).
An-Nasl, or An-Nasab (Ancestry and Lineage).
Al-‘Aql (Intellect).
Al-Maal (Property).

Question: What is the proof for these five basic human rights?

Answer: They are based on the scholars’ istiqraa’ (extracting something from the generality of the entire message) of not only the Qur’an and the Sunnah, but also from the previous legislations as well.

Question: Are they mentioned specifically in the Qur’an?

Answer: Yes, they have been mentioned in Soorah al-An’aam [6:151-152]:

6_151

Say (O Muhammad): “Come, I will recite what your Lord has prohibited you from: Do not join anything in worship with Him; be good and dutiful to your parents; do not kill your children fearing poverty – We provide for you and for them; do not go near fawaahish (shameful sins, illegal sexual intercourse, etc.), whether committed openly or secretly, and do not kill anyone whom Allaah has forbidden, except by right (through an Islaamic legal system). This is what He has commanded you with so that you might understand.”

6_152

“And do not go near the orphan’s property, except to improve it, until he (or she) attains the age of full strength; and give full measure and full weight with justice. We do not burden any person except with what he can bear. And whenever you speak, say the truth, even if a near relative is concerned, and fulfill the Covenant of Allaah. This is what He commands you with, so that you might remember.”

Question: Where are these five basic human rights mentioned in the above verses exactly?

Answer: They can be referenced as follows:

1. Ad-Deen (The Religion)
   “Come, I will recite what your Lord has prohibited you from: Do not join anything in worship with Him…”
2. An-Nafs (Physical Safety)
   “…Do not kill your children fearing poverty…” and “…Do not kill anyone whom Allaah has forbidden, except by right (through an Islaamic legal system)…”
3. An-Nasl, or An-Nasab (Ancestry and Lineage)
   “…Do not go near fawaahish (shameful sins, illegal sexual intercourse, etc.), whether committed openly or secretly…”
4. Al-‘Aql (Intellect)
   “…This is what He has commanded you with so that you might understand.”
5. Al-Maal (Property)
   “…And do not go near the orphan’s property, except to improve it, until he (or she) attains the age of full strength; and give full measure and full weight with justice…”

Question: Which of the scholars of Islaam have mentioned these five basic human rights?

Answer: They were mentioned by some of the scholars as early as (at least) the fifth century. Ash-Shaatibee (d.790) mentions them in his book, al-Muwaafaqaat (2/20), saying, “They have been safeguarded in every religion,” meaning in all previous legislations sent from Allaah to the previous prophets.

Question: Is there an easy way to remember all five basic rights?

Answer: The following line of poetry includes all five of them, adding ‘irdh (personal honor) as the sixth basic human right:

وحفظ دين ثم نفس مال نسب *** ومثلها عقل وعرض قد وجب

Or if you cannot read Arabic yet, then try the “BASIC” method in English:

1. Belongings(Property)
2. Ancestry
3. Safety
4. Intellect
5. Creed (Religion)

And Allaah knows best.

This is the same argument used by our Ustad Shamshi to present Islam to non-Muslims.

1.Now, when we look at the other hand, turning away from God (Allah), the true God, makes one corrupt and confused. Like today, the West cannot define what a woman is and what a man is, so how can they say Islam oppresses women when they are not even sure what a woman and a man are?

2.The opposite of preserving intellect is drinking alcohol, taking drugs, and so on, which harms individuals as well as society.

3.Islam came to preserve lineage, that’s why fornication and adultery destroy families and violate the rights of human beings.

4.Gambling and interest (usury) are forbidden. These types of things make the rich richer and the poor poorer.

5. Islam came to preserve someone's life; that’s why killing people unjustly and suicide are forbidden and harmful to societies and individuals.

But still, you will find people hate Islam. Why? And the majority of people who hate Islam are those who are in power and authority, the elite. That’s why you see online and offline attempts to make Islam look bad, especially through the media, because Islam blocks these things that affect their evil agenda, from which they are making money.

For example: Suppose you have a business of brothels, casinos, pubs, and bars, and someone comes along with Islamic teachings, teaching people that alcohol is forbidden, fornication and adultery destroy societies, families, and lineage, interest makes the poor poorer, and the rich richer, gambling destroys wealth and families, and intoxicants harm you individually before anyone else. These people are just making money to misguide others, while Islam calls you to come back to a pure state, which is, first and foremost, to worship Allah alone without any partners, according to the teachings of the last Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.

Do you think such people who are in authority will love this Islamic preacher? Of course not, because it will affect their business. That’s why they will utilize their money to shut him down.

This is exactly what you see in the media, which tries to make Islam and Muslims look very bad, and we Muslims, especially the youth, fail to recognize this.

Those who hate Islam generally fall into two main categories:

1. Those in positions of power – People who benefit from systems Islam forbids, such as usury, gambling, adultery, alcohol, and other social corruption. Accepting Islam would threaten their authority, wealth, and influence, so they oppose it openly or through manipulation. The Prophet ﷺ sending letters to rulers like Kisra, Caesar, and Najashi illustrates this: some recognized the truth but rejected it out of fear for their kingdoms and authority.
2. Those who are ignorant – People who lack knowledge of Islam or the truth and follow blind tradition, herd mentality, or social pressure. They may reject Islam out of arrogance, attachment to false beliefs, or fear of societal rejection. This mirrors what the Qur’an describes about people who follow their forefathers blindly (2:170) or refuse guidance out of pride, like Iblees (2:34).

In essence, hatred toward Islam comes either from selfish interest and fear of losing worldly power, or from ignorance and attachment to falsehood.

As I said, it goes back to two main reasons why people do not accept Islam .

SO whenever non-Muslims doesn’t accept Islam, it boils down to two main factors, and these same two factors also apply to those who display Islam outwardly but are from Ahlul Bid‘ah, whether extreme or not.

1. Psychological factors
2. Social factors

1. Psychological Factors

Psychological factors are related to how humans think and matters of the qalb (heart), such as:

• Arrogance
• A negative attitude
• Deep hatred
• Thinking, “How can I be wrong when I have been doing this for so long?”
• Preferring the majority over the truth (herd mentality^[2])
• Thinking, “How can I be wrong when most people around me share the same beliefs,” especially in matters of Tawheed and Allah’s Names and Attributes, or for a non-Muslim, his own religion
• Blindly following the beliefs of forefathers
• Looking down upon the people of truth
• Rejecting the message because of personal issues with the one conveying it, such as jealousy, feelings of superiority, and similar traits

2. Social Factors

Social factors are related to community, personal life, status, and business, such as:

• Thinking, “If I accept the truth, my family may turn against me”
• Having a high status among people and fearing that they will no longer respect him or come to him
• Having fame and followers, and fearing that accepting Islam may lead to losing them
• Having a business and knowing that accepting Islam could negatively affect it
• Fear of being boycotted by society
• Thinking it may become difficult to marry off his daughter
• Believing that personal issues are more important than accepting the truth
• Feeling that accepting the truth may cause disturbance and discomfort among people, especially when one’s core beliefs differ from the rest of people.

Here are relevant proofs from the Qur’an, Seerah and Sunnah:

1. From the Qur’an

• Arrogance and rejection of truth (Iblees):
  “And [mention] when We said to the angels, ‘Prostrate to Adam,’ and they prostrated, except for Iblees. He refused and was arrogant and became of the disbelievers.” (2:34)
• Following forefathers blindly:
  “And when it is said to them, ‘Follow what Allah has revealed,’ they say, ‘Rather, we follow that upon which we found our fathers.’ Even though their fathers understood nothing, nor were they guided?” (2:170)
• Preferring the majority over truth:
  “And if you obey most of those upon the earth, they will mislead you from the way of Allah…” (6:116)
• Pride and denial despite certainty:
  “And they rejected them, while their souls were convinced thereof, out of ظلم and arrogance…” (27:14)
• Fear of people and loss of status:
  “And they say, ‘If we were to follow the guidance with you, we would be swept from our land…’” (28:57)
• Leaders fearing loss of authority:
  “The eminent ones who disbelieved from his people said, ‘We see you only as a man like ourselves…’” (11:27)
• Concern for social pressure and leadership:
  “Indeed, we found our fathers upon a religion, and we are, in their footsteps, following.” (43:23)

2. From the Sunnah

• Abu Talib refusing Islam due to social pressure:
  The Prophet ﷺ said to him:
  “O uncle, say ‘La ilaha illallah,’ a word by which I will argue for you before Allah.”
  But he replied that he would remain upon the religion of ‘Abdul-Muttalib.
  (Reported in Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim)
• Pride as a barrier to truth:
  The Prophet ﷺ said:
  “No one who has an atom’s weight of arrogance in his heart will enter Paradise.”
  (Reported in Sahih Muslim)
• Definition of arrogance:
  The Prophet ﷺ said:
  “Arrogance is rejecting the truth and looking down on people.”
  (Reported in Sahih Muslim)

---

3. From the Seerah (supported by authentic reports)

• When the Prophet ﷺ sent letters to rulers, some recognized the truth but rejected it out of fear for their authority and kingdom, showing concern for leadership, status, and influence.

These evidences show how arrogance, social pressure, attachment to status, and fear of people can prevent acceptance of the truth, even when it is clear.

Many times in Speakers’ Corner, the Dawah table, and in the masjid, Shamshi from DUS Dawah mentions these two main factors why Muslims and non-Muslims turn away from the truth.

AND,

If you read the Qur’an, you will find that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) guides people, and in other places, you will find that the Prophet has no control over guidance. So there are two types of guidance: one is purely from Allah, and the second is through preaching.

Guidance (هداية) is of two kinds:

a) Guidance of Tawfeeq, and it is totally from Allah, i.e. Allah opens one's heart to receive the truth (from disbelief to belief in Islamic Monotheism).

b) Guidance of Irshaad through preaching by Allah’s Messengers and pious preachers who call to the truth, i.e. Islamic Monotheism.

Qur’an 28:56 - "Verily, you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) do not guide whom you like, but Allah guides whom He wills. And He knows best those who are the guided."

Qur’an 2:272 - "Not upon you (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) is their guidance, but Allah guides whom He wills. And whatever you spend in good, it is for yourselves, when you spend not except seeking Allah’s Countenance. And whatever you spend in good, it will be repaid to you in full, and you shall not be wronged."

Qur’an 5:16 - "Wherewith Allah guides all those who seek His good pleasure to ways of peace, and He brings them out of darkness by His will unto light and guides them to the Straight Way (Islamic Monotheism)."

Qur’an 29:18 - "And if you deny, then nations before you have denied (their Messengers). And the duty of the Messenger is only to convey (the message) plainly."

2 From the summarized version of At-Tabari, Al-Qurtubi, and Ibn Kathir by Dr. Muhsin Khan and Dr. Muhammad Taqiuddin Hilali on the commentary of Surah Al-Fatihah, verse 6 (Guide us to the straight way)

In short:

Why LGBTQ+ Supporters and Leaders Hate Islam?

To answer this question, our Ustādh Shamshi often explains, especially when speaking to non-Muslims, that the issue is not random. After presenting Islām and its foundations, he clarifies why people turn away from it or develop hatred toward it.

Before addressing that directly, it is important to understand a core principle in Islām: the five necessities.

The Five Necessities of Islam

The scholars explain that Islām came to preserve five essential matters (Ad-Dharooriyyaat Al-Khams), which are recognized not only in Islamic law but across all divine legislations. These are:

• Ad-Deen (Religion)
• An-Nafs (Life / Physical Safety)
• An-Nasl (Lineage / Family)
• Al-‘Aql (Intellect)
• Al-Maal (Property / Wealth)

These are not based on a single verse or narration. Rather, they are derived through istiqraa’ (inductive analysis) from numerous texts in the Qur’an and Sunnah.

The scholar Ash-Shaatibi رحمه الله explained in Al-Muwaafaqaat that all nations have agreed that divine law aims to preserve these five necessities, and that this is an established and undeniable principle of the religion.

Proof from the Qur’an

These necessities are clearly indicated in Surah al-An‘aam (6:151–152):

• Worship Allah alone → preservation of Religion
• Do not kill → preservation of Life
• Avoid immoral sexual acts → preservation of Lineage
• Use understanding → preservation of Intellect
• Protect wealth and property → preservation of Property

A simple way to remember them:

BASIC

• Belongings
• Ancestry
• Safety
• Intellect
• Creed

The Core Issue

When you understand these five necessities, you begin to see why Islām conflicts with many modern ideologies and lifestyles.

• Islām preserves intellect, so it prohibits intoxicants like alcohol and drugs.
• Islām preserves lineage, so it forbids fornication and adultery.
• Islām preserves wealth, so it forbids gambling and interest (usury).
• Islām preserves life, so it forbids murder and suicide.
• Islām preserves religion, calling people to pure monotheism.

Now compare this with many trends in modern societies:

• Confusion about identity and definitions
• Promotion of intoxicants
• Normalization of sexual immorality
• Economic systems based on interest and exploitation

This creates a direct clash.

Why Do Some People Hate Islam?

It goes back to two main categories:

1. Psychological Factors (Internal)

These are matters of the heart:

• Arrogance
• Pride in one’s own beliefs
• Hatred toward the truth
• Blindly following the majority (herd mentality)
• Attachment to what one has always believed
• Looking down on those who call to the truth
• Rejecting the message بسبب personal issues with the caller (jealousy, ego, rivalry)

A person may think:
“How can I be wrong when I have followed this my whole life?”

2. Social Factors (External)

These relate to lifestyle, status, and worldly concerns:

• Fear of losing family support
• Fear of losing status or respect
• Fear of losing followers or fame
• Financial loss or business impact
• Fear of being boycotted
• Social pressure and expectations
• Difficulty in changing one’s environment

For example:

If someone earns money through businesses like alcohol, gambling, or immoral industries, then Islām directly threatens their income. Naturally, they will oppose it and may even use their influence to spread negativity about Islām.

The Reality

Those in power, media, and influential positions may promote narratives that make Islām appear negative, because Islām blocks practices from which they benefit.

This is why you often see consistent attacks, both online and offline.

Guidance Is from Allah

Finally, it is important to understand that guidance is not in human control.

There are two types of guidance:

1. Guidance of Irshaad (Conveying the message)
   This is the role of the Prophets and callers.
2. Guidance of Tawfeeq (Acceptance of the truth)
   This is only from Allah.

Allah says:

• Qur’an 28:56 – You do not guide whom you love, but Allah guides whom He wills.
• Qur’an 2:272 – Their guidance is not upon you, but Allah guides whom He wills.
• Qur’an 29:18 – The Messenger’s duty is only to convey the message clearly.

Conclusion

Hatred or rejection of Islām is not always about lack of evidence. Often, it comes down to:

• Internal psychological barriers
• External social pressures

And ultimately, guidance lies with Allah alone.
