It is a Qur\u2019anic imperative to uphold Islam\u2019s ethical standard with confidence, as God states: \u201cCall [people] to the way of your Lord with wisdom and beautiful admonition, and dispute with them in the most courteous of ways; for your Lord knows best who has strayed from His way and who is rightly guided\u201d [Qur\u2019an, 16:125].<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>At the same, Muslims should show empathy and understanding to those dealing with same-sex attractions or gender identity issues for what is often a very difficult and emotionally taxing issue. Being compassionate toward someone struggling with gender identity or same-sex attraction does not mean bending God\u2019s commands or misrepresenting the Islamic paradigm on gender, sexuality, morality, and identity. No one is more merciful or compassionate than God; true compassion thus involves guiding others to the truth and what pleases the Creator.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is important for Muslims to clearly understand and not compromise on Islam\u2019s sexual ethics.
