Question

I am very troubled by this problem. Please advise me on how to cure myself of this sin and how to remove my sexual inclination towards men.

Answer

To cure oneself from this type of sexual pervesion the first step that you have taken already is to identify that you have this problem and it is not something that is natural and Allah has prohibited it. Refer to Sura 26 verse 165-166 also sura 11 verses 77 -81.

You then need to make sincere Thaubah to Allah that you would not get involved with these type of activties again. I suggest that you keep in contact with an Alim who you can explain your problem to and he can guide you on a regular basis, thus helping you keep away from the problem that you are faced with. Also you need to get involved in your Deen i.e. making your five daily Salaah in Jamaah as Allah states in the Quraan " Verily Salaah keeps you away from evil and wrong doing..." Also you need to recite the Quraan daily with the Sunnah duas
after every Salaah and to keep your tongue wet with the rememberance of Allah all the time.

Not forgetting that you got to make the effort from within you as the saying goes it is mind over matter and if you put Allah before all then you not only be cured in this world but also in the Akhirah. So you need to hold on steadfast to your Deen and talk about the problem and it is
you that can make the change. Inshallah.

May Allah guide and help you, Ameen

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
