An English translation of a book by Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid.
It is the nature of this life that people will suffer from worries and stress, because this world is the place of disease, hardship and suffering. Hence among the things that distinguish Paradise from this world is the fact that there is no worry or stress there: "No sense of fatigue shall touch them, nor shall they (ever) be asked to leave." [al-Hijr 15:48 – interpretation of the meaning].
The Divine Names Related to Existence

"Homosexual Wanting to Embrace Islam?” Ust. Suhaib Webb

The complications lie in the fact that I have feelings towards men. I know it is wrong. I consider it an abomination. I don’t need anyone to tell me how sinful it is. But I can’t help it. I can stay away from committing the act but the feelings are always there. After reading the other questions about gays on the site they do not help me much. I cannot ignore the feelings and get married. I do not feel any attraction towards women. I need some serious help. What is your view on a non-practicing homosexual? The feelings exist but not the acts
