KCSE IRE Paper 2 2012 Question 1(b) with Answers.

Rationale for the prohibition of homosexuality in Islam.

Homosexuality is prohibited in Islam because:
It can lead to the extinction of mankind because it prevents human beings from fulfilling the reproductive function.
It is against the natural way of reproduction which Allah has prescribed for human survival on earth and which was advocated by all prophets of Allah.
It destructs natural life as people become slaves of their lusts.
Leads to moral degradation and lack of respect to those who practice it.
Leads to life threatening diseases, some of which are unknown and have no cure e.g. HIV/AIDS.
It is unhygienic and disgusting way of fulfilling human natural desires.
Can lead to permanent body injury which brings about constant ailments to the person practising it.
Leads to degradation of moral standards in the society, a society that practices homosexuality has no morals.
Threatens the basic fabric of family life and values, an ideal family should consist of a husband, a wife and possibly children.
It will lead to punishment from Allah. All those who engage in this unnatural act will be punished severely by Allah.
