Abstract
.Homosexuality has been and continues to be one of the deviations in sexual relations, condemned by reason, human nature, and all monotheistic religions. However, in this era of contemporary history, by exploiting the problems of transsexual individuals and the inability to treat them, it has been presented as a natural behavior under political pressures—and not based on scientific research—but rather through voting. Through the onslaught of media propaganda, the establishment of associations, and the alignment of regional institutions, extensive efforts have been made to suggest the naturalness of these behaviors by concealing their disgracefulness through the use of terms such as 'same-sex attraction' or 'homosexuality,' and by proposing broad definitions to reduce their negative perception among the public. Following this perception of naturalness, the discourse of 'gay rights' has been raised. Furthermore, some, with incorrect interpretations of Quranic verses, have taken steps to solidify this deviation .The present writing, aiming to elucidate the progressive and logical perspective of the Holy Quran on this subject and by employing descriptive and analytical methods, seeks to prove that from the viewpoint of the Holy Quran, homosexuality is forbidden due to its opposition and incompatibility with reason and humanity, and its unnatural nature, while also responding to misguided interpretations of the Quran used to justify homosexuality.
