7. Students Rating Teachers:Good or Bad?
By Anonymous, Saint Joseph, MI
Over time, school has evolved and taken on a big role in our society. It is the place where students are given
knowledge to help them become successful and where they realize their own capabilities for the future. Just as
important, however, are the teachers. A school cannot be successful without good teachers, but how do the schools
know which are the good teachers and which are the bad ones? This problem brings to life a tough question:
should students be able to rate their teachers at the end of the year based on how well they taught the class? I do
believe that students should be able to grade teachers because it would help improve or get rid of the bad ones,
the good teachers would be noticed for their hard work, and the students would benefit from the system in the
future.
With the system, students would be able to make the administration of their school realize which teachers are
doing a good job and which ones are doing a poor job. There have been a couple of teachers in the past, even in
middle school, whom I wished that I could have rated. For example, last year I took a class that is widely
considered one of the toughest classes in the school. Obviously, I expected the class to be hard, but the class was
much more time consuming than I expected. The teacher did a less than impressive job of teaching the material
each week, which forced everyone in the class to learn half the material on our own each week before the test. I
wish that the other students and I could rate that teacher to show that he or she needs to improve the way they
teach to head that specific class. I can see the point that some students would grade their teachers based solely on
the fact that they did not get the grade he or she wanted in that class. This could negatively affect a teacher who is
doing a good job, but the students do not like them for it. This problem could be avoided by either letting only
students that got A’s rate them or take the majority vote.
The system would not only help with the bad teachers, but it could also show which teachers are excelling in their
work and putting a lot effort into their job. Sometimes good teachers go unnoticed because they have not been at
the school as long as others. I noticed this first-hand in a class I took in eighth grade where a teacher was gone for
a whole year and a new teacher came in to teach the class for that year. That specific teacher was one of the best I
have ever had in my life. Although it was middle school, he ran it like a high school class. Even though it was hard,
I learned things much easier with his methods of teaching than any other class. Then when the other teacher came
back the next year, my teacher was pushed back out of a permanent teaching job. The rating system would allow
the administration to know which teachers are doing their job well. Another problem lies within this idea also in
that some students may grade a teacher highly just because they like him or her as a person even if that teacher is
not good at their job. Again, I think this problem could be averted by getting taking a majority vote or by
personally asking some of the students why they like the teacher. This would give the administrators the ability to
discover the truth of why students rate that specific teacher highly.
Not only would it help with the quality teachers, but this system would also benefit students in the future. The
school authorities would be able to eliminate the bad teaching in their school and give their students the best
education possible. This would set up students to be successful in their next year of high school or in their
transition into college. I have experienced a couple rough transitions, specifically in math classes. I have gone from
one year to the next where a teacher expects me to have learned certain things from the previous year that I did
not learn. The grading system would allow students to get a consistently solid education. Some may argue that the
system would not completely rid the school of these problems, but there will always be some problems. The system
would expel most of the problems leaving only minor ones that can be handled.
Overall, students rating teachers at the end of the year would improve the bad teachers, bring attention to the

8. teachers doing their job well, and would set up students for success in the future. Although the system has some
flaws, they can easily be avoided. This system would enhance the education of all students and allow them to make
a smooth transition into college. Not only would it help students, but it would also let the hardest working teachers
to excel. The teacher-rating system is a win-win situation as schools would be able to maximize both the potential
of students and the effectiveness of teachers.
Dicuss the possible benefits of allowing school pupils to rate their
own teachers.
Education is the key to success for people all over the world. A good education hinges on
good teachers. However, many people are now decrying the declining quality of teachers in
school. There are too many reports about inappropriate behavior by teacher, such as
bribery, physical and sexual abuse. In order to improve the quality of teachers, they should
be evaluated not only by the heads of schools, but also by their pupils and peers. It is to
ensure a better evaluation of their character and quality of teaching.
Some of evaluation by peers are principals of schools cannot possibly know each and every
teacher in the school well. Evaluation of teachers by principals alone cannot be very
accurate. There is a possibility of victimsation if the principals is the only one to evaluate the
teachers. The other teachers in the staff room would know the teachers. Peers will be better
at evaluating a teacher's character, work ethics and morals, interpersonal skills and even
mental health. Such evaluation from the peers will be necessary to prevent any untoward
incidences involving the teachers.
The evaluation by pupils are students will be better at evaluating a teacher's quality of
teaching. They should be the focus of the whole education system. They are the ones who
can truly judge a teacher's to import knowledge. It will determine if they can or cannot
understand the lesson. A knowledgeable teacher who is incapable of connecting with
students will not be an effective teacher. Pupils are the best judge of the teacher's
knowledge of the subject matter. Students nowadays are very knowledge themselves
because of the internet.
Pupils will be good at judging the delivery of lesson. It is especially on teacher's voice,
volume, eye contact and rapport. Pupils are the ones who can judge whether a teacher's
interested in their welfare. They are also the only ones who can vouch for the efficiency of a
teacher in grading work. Because there are so many pupils evaluating...

9. To allow teachers to see there progress as educators
Students should be able to grade their teachers because when the are graded the want to grade right
back trust me. When i finish a test and get a good grade i want to write a letter or even verbally telling
them thank you. Because even teachers need to know how they are doing. If students are able to grade
their teachers the teachers can look back on this and focus on what is failing in their teaching career and
work to make it better.
Students have the best firsthand feedback on how teachers are doing and if they are making high
school an uncomfortable, inappropriate, or overly difficult experience.
Every student’s got that teacher that they just absolutely hate. The one who “can’t teach.” The one who
should have retired years ago, who can’t control a class, or who is just a plain jerk. It seems like they’re
not going anywhere anytime soon even though they don’t allow students to be as productive as they are
capable of. What about that old unfair janitor who gives out pointless detentions like they’re daily
homework assignments? The lunch lady who spits on your food when she talks and can hardly walk? The
crabby librarian who can’t hear a word you say and won’t help you find anything or make you feel
welcome in the library? There should definitely be something students can do about it. They should
surely have a say in who can provide their education and their high school experience. I know it’s hard to
admit, but sometimes the students are right. Sometimes they know what they’re talking about. I mean,
they are the ones who have the first-hand experience of being around these type of employees. Some
out-with-the-old and in-with-the-new is seriously needed in some schools and the students are just the
ones who can give the best feedback and advice on where school faculty are needing improvement in
order to be successful. Just as teachers, who have first-hand experience, can give the best feedback and
“ratings” on students. It’s not complaining, and the students have no actual control over who stays and
who goes. It is just so suggestions can be appropriately made so that something can be done if needed
about people who are making high school education an uncomfortable, inappropriate, or overly difficult
experience. This is why there should be an opportunity in which at the end of each school term, student
evaluations of faculty may be submitted online.
That is the opening paragraph I am writing on this very topic for my 11th grade Lit. Class.
Oh definetly for sure
Because sometimes the teachers grade us based on their opinions so why shouldn't we have the freedom
of speech. Plus the fact is we're all humans here teachers think themselves is all knowing when they're
not.It's best teachers can make much worse decisions than us it's but they're in denial.
Accountability is a 2-way street
Teachers are accountable to students for creating an environment that fosters learning. They do this with
their attitude, knowledge, maturity, sensitivity, respect, judgment, enthusiasm, connection, etc. That's a
lot to bring to the table and they should be graded on how well they are able to bring it or if they leave
some of it behind.

10. Absolutely. And Judge, don't grade
I hate grades. Giving a letter grade A, B, C, etc. Tells you nothing about the person and what was done
in the class. When you are labeled a letter based on your entire experience in a class how is that
supposed to be fulfilling or meaningful at all? Who in the real world looks at a faceless transcript and
wants to hire that person? You need to meet them and judge their character and research their
experience in life situations.
Anyway, If a student is judged by the teacher than the teacher should also be judged by the student. We
are all humans. In what other job would this even be a question? For example, of course the public
wants to judge the performance of construction workers because if you don't they don't need to do well
at their job, and the public are the best critics for the construction workers. Similarly the student is the
teacher's best critic and feedback of the teacher helps the teacher to improve their methods and realize
that students are capable of teaching too. Teachers need to be humbled.
Grade the teachers!
I think we as students should be able to grade our teachers. Not because they are mean, how they
dress or so on. We should grade them on their performance of teaching. Are they explaining the
work they want us to do? Are they actually teaching us something valuable and not wasting our
time? In that form of grading, I do think we should be able to. I don't think it is fair how there are
teachers who have been teaching for so many years and all their students fail. That is a sign that
the teacher isn't doing something right.
Reason on why we are grading
Teachers should be able to know their personal attitude and about how they are acting from the
children's perspective. You should also be able to grade your teachers so they could understand how you
feel and what they need to fix. Teachers also can be informed on why some kids don't like them
It can't hurt.
Sure, students should be able to grade teachers. Obviously the grading would work differently than the
grades do for students. I would use it more as a performance report. The report wouldn't affect the
teachers pay, but it would let them know if they are doing good, or need improvement.
Yes, they should
In every organisation, the subordinates get to grade their higher ups and have one on one discussions
with them, and try to work out terms of agreement. The same should be applied in schools too. Teachers
are usually tested based on the knowledge they have of the subject, but very rarely based on their
teaching skills. If students are allowed to grade teachers, it would be a very good test of the teachers'
teaching skills

11. Grading teachers will revolutionize the learning experience
If teachers are ever trying to receive information, then they can't do that without having a good teacher
that teaches the things that they need to know. If this were to happen, then I would suppose that it
would be the same way that teachers give grades to the students. Also, if kids don't do well in school,
then it will be most of the teachers fault because the kids aren't learning from a teacher that doesn't
teach well.
Grading educators is not a students job
These students are learning from the teacher. Sure, the teacher should know if they're doing their job
right, but there should be a high ranked supervisor who should grade the educator. Students don't have
an ounce of wisdom to know the difference between a good or bad teacher. They won't grade teahcers
by their performance, they'll grade them depending if they like them, not if what they're doing will help
them n the long run. Another point I'd like to make, we have nerver done this before and our graduation
rate is great! Whos to say if we change it, that the rules will effect opur students, the ones who want to
learn, not the ones who waste everyone els's time?

Teachers have already gone through school
Teachers went to school and college to teach and grade children, not for the children to grade them. Plus
the teachers have already been graded while they were in school. Students are not mature enough to
grade adult teachers, as for they would use it to their advantage, such as getting less homework.
I think no
I say no students shouldn't grade teachers purely because they would be, as most comments say, graded
on emotional standards or bribery. Most students who have a grudge against a certain educator would
grade them based on how they treat them rather than their methods. There will always be that one
teacher that you aren't fond of, but they clearly got the job because they are qualified and are capable of

12. teaching. Students are immature and would take this as an opportunity to get their most-disliked teacher
fired or as an excuse for things like less work or just giving them free periods. Teachers could be hurt by
results, if they were graded lowly it could make them feel down, or if they try to make their grades
higher by sucking up to students, they wouldn't be doing their job properly, as who knows what chaos
some students can concoct to take advantage of the teachers. Another reason as to why I say no is
because, teachers often get overly stressed with making and grading all year, and when reports are
being written it's even more hectic. Students as is, especially in high school, are already stressed with
assessments and other work on top of being human, meaning development through puberty and trying
to figure out who we are. If the added stress of grading was added to a busy students life, it could
actually harm them mentally from all the excess stress it would bring. That is why I think students
shouldn't be given that responsibility.
I do not support this.
Students deserve to learn from teachers with a positive attitude, sensitivity, and enthusiasm. In the
perfect world, students would maturely construct fair and sensible evaluations of their teachers in order
to ensure their teachers creating an environment that fosters their learning. However, we do not live in a
perfect world, and most students are too immature to objectively execute an evaluation of their teachers.
No no no
Teachers went to college to teach and grade children. Considering the importance of knowing if they are
doing their job properly, SUPERVISORS went to college to train and grade teachers. CHILDREN should
not be given this responsibility AND power over their teachers. It seems unethical. Only school personnel
would understand this concept.
Shouldn't be by their students, but should be by others.
Students do not have the maturity to grade their teachers. Some bad students will probably give their
teachers low scores, and some student may not care whether or not they get graded. This would result in
a Voluntary Response Bias. I understand that the students have the experience, however they should not
grade their own teachers, especially when the students are receiving mediocre/bad grades.
No
No--students do not know by what measure to grade teachers. Teachers should be graded in some form,
but not by their own students. Students also tend to be particularly harsh if they have a personal problem
with a teacher or did not perform well in a class. There should be a different way of measuring teacher
performance that does not depend on the students.
No
Students should not be eligible to rank their educator. Most students are immature and will rank their
educator on their own moronic opinions on their educators educational system. Many will abuse this

13. privilege for their own injurious purposes, such as less homework or cellular devices in class. This will
disrupt the learning environment for serious students trying to have a better future.
Young people face more problems than adults. Do you agree?
[IGCSE]
I agree to that statement. Of course, as an adult, many responsibilities lie on one's shoulders. Be it of
maintaining a family or duties at work. Though it can all be summarized in just a few words, they
undoubtedly are of great importance, giving way to one too many hurdles along the way. That being said,
life is definitely not problem-free for the average teenager.
Naturally, in one way or another, everyone faces a situation that is difficult or seemingly impossible to
deal with. Social life, studies or the mere desire to explore can give way to needless complexities for the
youth.
Certainly, adults have their own share of problems. These definitely are greater than insignificant teenage
heartbreak. However as for an adult, there are usually pre-planned solutions or through previous
experience, a possible solution to the problem. For instance, if job dismissal is a problem facing the adult,
there are rapidly increasing opportunities for new jobs. Being in a state of debt, financial advisors are
available to assist the adult and draw steps to follow which lead them out of the problem. On the other
hand, teenagers might be completely unaware of how to resolve a problem and would be seeking the
needed guidance from other places. Though not always, they sometimes receive the wrong type of
advice from peers and resort to actions such as smoking.
The average youth is keen to try new things in this ever changing world. Exploring and experimenting can
surely be of great importance as it gives the explorer a chance to discover him/herself. However, some
actions are not of any importance, e.g. substance abuse. On the other hand, an adult would probably
have grown out of the stage of experimenting. (S)He would be aware of the results that follow the action
and avoid it.
Another issue the youth face is pressure through the media. Magazines and television programs
constantly feature romance related headlines. Teenagers being at a stage where they are no longer
children nor are they adults, are trying to discover their own identities. They are trying to fit it. This causes
them to give in to pressure without much hesitancy.
Furthermore, distractions such as dating and substance abuse ultimately disrupts their studies. Parents
have hopes for their child, and (s)he would have personal goals set out as well. A relationship tags along
pressure, as there are responsibilities and expectations from both partners. If the teen finds it difficult to
cope with pressures from a relationship as well as studies, (s)he would encounter failure in both.
What it all comes down to is that, although teenage problems do not seem as difficult as those of adults,
they lack the maturity and skill to deal with different complexities. Consequently their lack of skill and
understanding towards a situation can sometimes lead to further problems or make their existing
problems more difficult to deal with than those of adults.

14. Young people have more problems than adults. Do you agree ?
Every person. at some point of his life, will encounter problems. I agree that young people have
more problems than adults, especially in today's world where things are changing quickly.
Certainly, adults have their own share of problems. I have known of adults who face financial
difficulties, particularly if they have a family to support. Some also have health problems, and
there are others who worry about finding a life partner or trouble with their marriage.
Young people have their own problems. Our problems are harder to solve because there are often
no clear-cut solutions to them. One of the areas that can trouble young people is the search for
identity. This is an inevitable problem in a teenager's life. He is no longer a child, yet not quite
an adult. Some younger people who have been pampered and sheltered during their childhood
years find it hard to become more independent. I know some students who come from such
backgrounds and they have trouble adjusting to teenage life. They still expect things to be
handed to them. Sometimes their parents make decisions for them.
On the other hand, there are those who want to be 'instant' adults. To show that they are grown
up, they feel that they have to smoke and keep late hours. As a result, they miss out on normal
teenage activities like sports and other extra-curricular activities which they will never expe
rience again. Some young people also rebel against conventional ideas to assert their identity. It
is typical to show their rebellion in their choices of clothes and music. But those who have weak
family ties may run away from home. or be caught up in bad company.
Young people also become more aware of their looks and the opposite sex at this stage. Among
some of them, there is a tendency to judge people by their looks. I have heard boys and even
girls disparage a girl for her plain looks. This attitude can make the less attractive girl self-
conscious and unsure of herself.
During the teenage years, young people begin to show an interest in dating. There is so much
pressure from the popular media which constantly features stories and songs about couples and
romance. Some students realize that dating will interfere with their studies, but they may feel like
'nerds' if they do not date. Young people who date often cannot handle the pressures of the
relationship as well as their studies. As a result, they suffer failure in both. Nowadays, young
people face a lot of pressure to do well in their studies. For most of us, we know that academic
success is good for us, but at times we do feel the stress. No one wants to disappoint his parents.
In many ways, it is wonderful to be young. There are so many things to learn, and the whole
world to explore. But I think we have more problem to resolve than adults have. I suppose
overcoming these problems will lead us on the path towards adulthood.

15. Gejala LGBT dan Peranan Institusi Agama
Ditulis oleh Khairul Azhar Bin Idris. Posted in Artikel
Sejak akhir-akhir ini, gejala berkaitan isu cinta dan hubungan sejenis menjadi semakin ketara dalam
kelompok masyarakat di negara ini. Ia sering menimbulkan pelbagai reaksi anggota masyarakat, malah
menjadi punca kepada konflik sesama mereka. Hakikatnya, telah wujud sekelompok anggota masyarakat
yang secara terang-terangan telah menerima dan mengakui diri mereka sebagai pengamal kepada
aktiviti ini yang lebih dikenali sebagai lesbian, gay, biseksual dan transgender atau LGBT. Dalam
menangani gejala ini, sudah pasti wujud di kalangan masyarakat yang membantah, mahupun yang
menyokongnya, atau tidak berpihak kepada mana-mana puak. Namun bagi masyarakat yang berpegang
kuat kepada ajaran agama, malah juga bagi kebanyakan mereka yang berpegang kepada nilai-nilai murni
adat resam kehidupan, sudah pasti menolaknya dan melihat ia sebagai satu gejala yang tidak bermoral,
menentang ajaran agama, dan menyalahi aturan fitrah dan tabi’i.
Agama Islam sudah jelas dan nyata dalam ajaran dan pendiriannya terhadap isu ini. Apa yang amat
malang, terdapat semakin ramai umat Islam yang terlibat dalam gejala ini, malah tanpa segan serta
bangga menjadi sebahagian dari kumpulan ini. Manakala bagi masyarakat yang majoriti datang dari
dunia Barat dan negara yang telah lama maju, aktiviti LGBT dilihat bukanlah sebagai satu gejala atau
penyakit, malah menjadi kesalahan pula jika menganggapnya sebagai satu gejala atau penyakit. Dalam
masyarakat ini, aktiviti dan kehidupan LGBT merupakan satu pilihan peribadi. Pilihan ini perlu diiktiraf dan
disokong oleh semua ahli masyarakat walau di mana mereka berada sebagai satu hak peribadi individu
terbabit. Sebarang penolakan atau bantahan merupakan penafian terhadap hak asasi mereka yang mana
akhirnya dilihat melanggar piagam Hak Asasi Manusia Sejagat. Sesuatu yang janggal juga di mana
kumpulan yang membantah ini pula yang sebaliknya akan terus dicerca dan dipulaukan secara besar-
besaran dan menerima tekanan demi tekanan dari kumpulan tertentu sehingga ke peringkat global.
Dari segi sejarahnya, kedudukan LGBT telah mula mendapat perhatian dunia perubatan dan kesihatan
atas inisiatif Persatuan Psikiatri Amerika atau APA melalui satu manual kesihatan dan penyakit mental
yang mereka terbitkan. Manual itu dikenali sebagai Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental
Disorders atau DSM. Pada peringkat awal penubuhan manual ini iaitu pada tahun 1952, isu LGBT pada
ketika itu lebih menjurus kepada perbincangan berkaitan homoseksualiti yang telah dikategorikan
sebagai sejenis gangguan atau penyakit mental, di dalam klasifikasi penyimpangan psikoseksual, yang
mengandungi beberapa gangguan identiti seksual lain termasuklah parafilias seperti fedofilia, fetisisme,
seksual sadism dan lain-lain berdasarkan kepada naluri dan orientasi seksual yang abnormal individu
terbabit.
Akibat dari keabnormalan yang dihidapi, ia mengakibatkan wujudnya rasa kebimbangan dan ketakutan
individu terbabit yang akhirnya mengakibatkan tekanan dan penderitaan dalam kehidupan mereka.
Ditambah pula dengan perasaan malu dan stigma yang tidak boleh diterima oleh mereka dari masyarakat
pada ketika itu. Namun kedaan telah berubah apabila pada tahun 1974, pada revisi ketujuh manual
tersebut bagi edisi kedua (DSM-II) ia telah mengeluarkan homoseksualiti daripada senarai kategori
penyakit mental, walaupun tanpa sebarang justifikasi yang munasabah, baik dari sudut perubatan atau
pun saintifik. Apa yang ada pada ketika itu hanyalah beberapa tekanan dan tuntutan-tuntutan dari puak
pelobi hak asasi tertentu yang mewakili kumpulan gay dan homoseks. Usaha dan desakan mereka ini
akhirnya membawa kepada kejayaan di mana ia akhirnya dikeluarkan dari senarai manual terbabit dan
tindakan yang sama seperti ini disusuli pula oleh Pertubuhan Kesihatan Sedunia atau WHO.

16. Apa yang menarik, manual APA pada ketika itu hanyalah mengeluarkan terma atau istilah homoseksualiti
sahaja, manakala pemahaman yang ada ialah ia tetap tidak mengiktiraf bahawa homoseksualiti itu
adalah sesuatu yang normal atau bukan penyakit, memandangkan gangguan atau gejala homoseks itu
telah secara tidak langsung digantikan sebagai “sexual orientation disturbance” dan istilah ini masih lagi
wujud sehinggalah ke hari ini. Oleh yang demikian, sebarang bentuk gangguan atau penyakit perlu
kepada intervensi tertentu dan rawatan bagi memulihkannya, dan tidak terkecuali juga bagi gejala ini.
Bagaimanapaun, atas dasar hak asasi individu dan beberapa alasan politik sempit kumpulan tertentu,
pemahaman terhadap gejala ini telah menyimpang dari matlamat asal dan mula diterima secara
berleluasa bahawa ia sebagai sesuatu yang normal kerana telah tidak lagi dilihat sebagai satu penyakit
dan wajar untuk dipertahankan, yang akhirnya telah menjadi trend dan ikutan sekelompok puak tertentu
di peringkat global.
Seterusnya, memandangkan Islam telah mempunyai alasan yang amat kukuh dengan melihat amalan ini
sebagai satu gejala yang jauh menyimpang dari fitrah kejadian manusia yang beradab dan berakhlak
mulia, tindakan mantap perlu dilaksanakan tanpa lengah lagi. Atas dasar tersebut juga, institusi berkaitan
agama Islam, khususnya yang berkaitan penguatkuasaan dan pendakwaan memperluaskan lagi skop
dan bidang tugasan dengan turut memfokuskan gejala ini agar ia dapat dibendung dari terus merebak.
Manakala institusi agama Islam yang berkaitan dengan penyelidikan dan latihan pula wajar
mengukuhkan lagi maklumat dan fakta berkaitan isu ini dan seterusnya merangka pelbagai kaedah
intervensi dan latihan yang sesuai agar gejala ini dapat dibanteras di peringkat akar umbi lagi.
Di samping itu, institusi-institusi seperti ini juga wajar mengambil peluang yang ada dengan mengadakan
pelbagai kerjasama dengan agensi-agensi kerajaan dan swasta serta NGO lain agar usaha
membanteras dan mengawal gejala ini dapat dilaksanakan secara lebih mantap. Usaha ini, serta
kerjasama pelbagai agensi, bukanlah sesuatu yang mustahil, memandangkan telah ada beberapa contoh
yang baik telah dilakukan. Umpamanya, JAKIM dengan kerjasama Kementerian Kesihatan telah berjaya
mewujudkan satu manual rawatan dan latihan yang dikenali sebagai Manual Islam dan HIV/AIDS bagi
mengendalikan pelbagi isu berkaitan HIV/AIDS. Usaha murni ini boleh diperpanjangkan dan diperluaskan
pula bagi menangani gejala berkaitan LGBT.

17. LGBT: Keburukan Dan Bahaya Dalam Masyarakat Hari Ini
1.0 Pendahuluan
Tujuan esei ini di buat ialah untuk memenuhi kehendak kerja kursus bagi subjek Fiqh Sunnah II.
Penulis memilih tajuk LGBT: Keburukan Dan Bahaya Dalam Masyarakat Hari Ini kerana
topik ini sangat menarik untuk dikupas memandangkan ramai dikalangan masyarakat Islam di
Malaysia khasnya yang telah terpengaruh dan terjerumus ke dalam kancah yang hina ini.
Dalam usaha penulis untuk memahami dan berkongsi ilmu tentang isu-isu yang berkaitan
Lesbian Gay Biseksual dan Transgender (LGBT), penulis merujuk beberapa bahan yang
relaven dengan topik. Isu LGBT seringkali menjadi bahan berita di akhbar-akhbar perdana. Kes
paling terbaru ialah masyarakat kita telah dikejutkan dengan berita pelajar perubatan tajaan
Petronas yang bernama Ariff Alfian Rosli yang telah berkahwin dengan pasangan yang juga
seorang lelaki di Ireland setelah dilaporkan hilang oleh keluarganya sejak tahun 2009. [1]
Isu homoseksual di tanah air kita bukan baru dalam masyarakat, kerana saban hari media
massa akan memaparkan kisah-kisah yang sering memeranjatkan kita. Tanpa kita sedari, jika
isu LGBT ini tidak ditangani dengan bijaksana, ia akan menghakis dan menggugat keharmonian
hidup bermasyarakat serta boleh meruntuhkan institusi keluarga. Kesan jangka masa panjang
pula ialah masyarakat Islam akan mengalami krisis genetik kerana tiada lagi institusi
perkahwinan yang boleh melahirkan zuriat untuk meneruskan kelangsungan generasi manusia.
Selain daripada itu, penulisan ini juga boleh dilihat sebagai usaha penulis untuk berdakwah
kepada masyarakat khususnya kepada golongan LGBT.
1.1 Sumber
Sumber primer di dalam analisis dan penulisan tentang topik LGBT ini adalah Al-Quran.
Manakala sumber sekundernya adalah buku-buku pendidikan yang relevan dengan tema
pembahasan dan keratan-keratan akhbar. Sebenarnya, penulis dapati adalah tidak banyak
penulisan tentang isu LBGT oleh ahli-ahli akademik di dunia Islam seperti buku-buku dan jurnal.
Jika ada penulisan tentang isu ini, ianya adalah ditulis di akhbar-akbar tentang gejala tersebut.
Namun penulis dapati, terdapat banyak penulisan tentang isu LGBT yang telah dibuat oleh
penulis-penulis barat iaitu di dalam segmen Seksual dan Identiti (sexsual and indentity) dibawah
kategori kajian sains sosial.
1.2 Pendekatan Kajian Penulisan Ini
Pendekatan penulis barat adalah bersifat kombinasi kajian perubatan sainstifik secara klinikal
dan trend ke atas kajian sains sosial mengapa seseorang individu itu boleh mempunyai
kecenderungan seks terhadap jantina yang sama sejenis dengannya. Malah, esei ini juga turut
memaparkan beberapa penemuan kajian yang didapati oleh penulis dan pengkaji barat tentang
mengapa seseorang yang lahir secara sempurna sifatnya sebagai lelaki (atau perempuan),
ingin menukar jantina kepada perempuan (atau sebaliknya lelaki). Tetapi kekurangan penulisan
barat ialah menghubungkaitkannya dengan aspek ketuhanan dan hukum-hukumNya.

18. Manakala artikel-artikel yang ditulis oleh penulis Islam pula adalah lebih bersifat kepada
pemaparan gejala-gejala sosial seperti penukaran jantina, perkahwinan sesama sejenis,
tempat-tempat maksiat yang sering dikunjungi oleh golongan LGBT, mengupas apakah yang
telah diperkatakan oleh Allah SWT di dalam Al-Quran tentang amalan songsang di dalam topik
perbahasan ini. Penulisan artikel Islamik adalah lebih berbentuk literasi yang tidak
mengaitkannya dengan kajian perubatan secara klinikal.
Maka, penulisan ini adalah sebagai usaha untuk mengharmonikan di antara pendekatan barat
yang berbentuk sainstifik dan menggabungkannya dengan pendekatan Islam supaya
masyarakat memahami kedua-dua persepektif ini. Manafaat daripada usaha ini ialah, kita dapat
memahami mengapa seseorang individu tersebut mempunyai kecenderungan dan berperasaan
seperti kewanitaan (jika beliau seorang lelaki) dan kecenderungan berperasaan kelelakian (jika
beliau seorang wanita). Adakah perasaan itu lahir secara fitrah atau ianya merupakan proses
pendidikan semenjak mereka kecil. Penulisan ini juga akan membincangkan punca-punca
dalaman dan juga punca-punca luaran yang mempengaruhi kecenderungan tersebut. Selepas
itu, kita boleh membincangka adakah masalah ini boleh dirawat? Jika ia boleh dirawat, apakah
perbezaan dan persamaan diantara kaedah barat dan Islam.
1.3 Definisi LGBT
Definisi berikut adalah sekadar maklumat umum yang berkaitan dengan isu semasa yang
sedang hangat melanda masyarakat Islam Malaysia. Definisi ini merujuk kepada Kamus
Dewan, terbitan Dewan Bahasa & Pustaka.[2]
a. Homoseksual – adalah merujuk kepada seseorang individu yang tertarik atau mempunyai
kecenderungan dari segi seks kepada orang yang sama jenis jantina;
b. Gay – merujuk kepada lelaki yang mempunyai tarikan seksual terhadap kaum sejenisnya, iaitu
homoseksual;
c. Lesbian – merujuk kepada perempuan yang mempunyai tarikan seksual terhadap kaum
sejenisnya, iaitu perempuan homoseksual;
d. Biseksual – kecenderungan untuk melakukan hubungan seks dengan kedua-dua jantina iaitu
lelaki dan wanita
e. Transeksual – seseorang lelaki atau perempuan yang berperasaan seperti perempuan atau
sebaliknya dan menampilkan perasaannya secara nyata sama ada melalui pertuturan, gerak
badan, cara berpakaian dan sebagainya

19. Rumusan bagi bab pengenalan ini, penekanan akan diberikan kepada fakta-fakta yang
berkaitan dengan masalah LGBT, punca-punca mengapa ianya terjadi dan kesan buruk kepada
masyarakat Islam khasnya masyarakat Islam di Malaysia.

20. 2.0 Takrifan LGBT Dari Sudut Sains Sosial
Menurut Lerner di dalam bukunya “Genders Issues and Sexuality” telah menghuraikan bahawa
golongan LBGT atau lebih dikenali sebagai golongan“transgendereds” dan
“transsexual” ialah individu atau kumpulan individu yang mengalami ketidakstabilan jantina
dan kerumitan seksualiti. Golongan ini menganggap bahawa identiti jantina mereka adalah
sepatutnya berbeza daripada apa yang sepadan dengan alat seks mereka secara fisiologi. [3]
Menurut Lerner lagi, golongan “transgendereds” dan “transsexual” ini sering merasakan jika
mereka seorang perempuan, mereka sepatutnya adalah lelaki. Jika mereka seorang lelaki,
maka mereka sepatutnya adalah seorang perempuan. Golongan ini juga seringkali mengalami
masalah untuk bersosial kerana stigma pemikiran masyarakat terhadap mereka yang
beranggap bahawa mereka menjalani kehidupan secara songsang. [4]
Laporan yang dikeluarkan oleh Bailey & Benishay pada tahun 1993[5], gejala homoseksual
selalunya bermula dirumah. Berikutan dengan itu, ia selalunya berlaku kepada pasangan
kembar seiras berbanding dengan kembar tidak seiras. Kajian tersebut juga mendedahkan
bahawa anak yang bongsu adalah lebih cenderung kepada
masalah “transgendereds” ataupun “transsexual”berbanding dengan anak sulung di dalam
keluarga.
2.1 Punca-Punca Berlakunya Masalah LGBT
a) Biologi
Homoseksual adalah keadaan pernyataan perasaan yang semulajadi menyebabkan seseorang
itu mempunyai nafsu terhadap kaum sejenis. Perasaan dan nafsu tersebut terhasil disebabkan
oleh bahan kimia dan hormon yang dikeluarkan dalam badan (luar kawalan). Pendapat ini
masih lagi dalam perbincangan dan tidak dapat dibuktikan secara menyeluruh oleh pakar dalam
bidang ini.
Terdapat juga teori bahawa aturan kelahiran menentukan sama ada seseorang homoseksual
atau tidak. Suatu kajian oleh Ray Blanchard memperolehi data bahawa semakin bongsu
seseorang anak, semakin besar kemungkinan dia homoseksual. Alasan-alasan di belakang
pemerhatian ini belum ditentukan. Ianya dipercayai bahawa dengan setiap kehamilan, badan
ibu mempunyai lebih hormon androgen yang boleh mempengaruhi orientasi seksual seseorang
anak. [6]
Alasan ini disokong oleh pemerhatian bahawa hanya anak-anak lelaki yang lebih bongsu, dan
bukan anak-anak perempuan yang lebih bongsu, yang menunjukkan kemungkinan yang lebih
besar untuk menjadi homoseksual. Alasan sosial bahawa adik-adik bongsu mungkin
dipengaruhi oleh abang-abang mereka disangkal kerana apabila eksperimen ini dijalankan
dengan anak-anak angkat, kemungkinan anak-anak angkat merupai homoseksual tidak menjadi
apabila mereka semakin besar.
b) Dorongan individu

21. Rentetan dari proses pembelajaran sewaktu kecil. Umpamanya seorang ibu yang amat teringin
untuk mempunyai seorang anak perempuan tetapi sebaliknya mempunyai bayi lelaki. Bayi lelaki
ini semenjak dia kecil dipakaikan dengan pakaian seorang perempuan, diberi permainan kanak-
kanak perempuan, berambut panjang dan dilayan sebagai seorang kanak-kanak perempuan.
Proses ini akan membentuk kepercayaan di dalam dirinya bahawa dia yang seorang lelaki
adalah merupakan seorang perempuan. Apabila dia dewasa, beliau akan mengalami
kecelaruan identiti lalu merasakan bahawa dirinya adalah terperangkap di dalam tubuh seorang
lelaki.
c) Trauma Masa Lampau/Kanak-Kanak
Apabila seseorang mengalami trauma masa lampau yang sangat teruk, akan mendorong
mereka tidak menyukai jantina yang berbeza dengan mereka. Sebagai contohnya ialah mangsa
pemerkosaan. Menurut laporan Statistik Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM) menunjukkan jumlah kes
rogol yang melibatkan mangsa bawah umur adalah lebih tinggi bagi tempoh 2000 hingga 2010
berbanding kes yang melibatkan mangsa bukan bawah umur. Timbalan Menteri Dalam Negeri,
Datuk Wira Abu Seman Yusop berkata, bagi tempoh lima tahun sejak 2005, sebanyak 9,575
kes rogol melibatkan mangsa di bawah umur direkodkan oleh PDRM.[7]
Penulis berpendapat bahawa jika mangsa rogol iaitu daripada aspek hubungan sumbang
mahram (inses) di antara bapa (termasuklah saudara mara lelaki) dengan kanak-kanak
perempuan akan menimbulkan berkurangnya rasa kepercayaan terhadap bapa (atau saudara
mara lelaki). Ini kerana orang yang sepatutnya menjaga dan memelihara mereka dengan penuh
kasih sayang telah merogol dan merosakkan kehormatan mereka. Rasa ketidakpercayaan ini
akan boleh menyebabkan kanak-kanak perempuan cederung untuk menjadi seorang lesbian.
Pendapat penulis ini adalah konsisten dengan Prof Madya Dr. Harlina Halizah Siraj, Ketua
Jabatan Pendidikan Perubatan HUKM[8]bahawa hubungan di antara bapa dan anak-anak juga
boleh menjadi faktor penyebab kepada gejala LGBT ini.
Sebaliknya bagi kanak-kanak lelaki yang tidak mendapat kasih sayang bapa kerana terlalu
sibuk bekerja, anak-anak lelaki ini akan bersama ibu dalam tempoh masa yang panjang
berbanding dengan bapa. Ini akan mewujudkan kanak-kanak lelaki tersebut rasa kurang
percaya pada potensi seksual yang ada pada diri sendiri. Selain itu tarikan individu terhadap
homoseksual, menjadi keinginan perasaan yang menyetujui untuk mendominasi hawa nafsu.
Harga diri tidak boleh diperolehi dari hubungan lain. Ketakutan pada kaum bertentangan jenis
menyebabkan tindak-balas erotik yang pasif. [9]
d) Peluang dan ruang
Dewasa ini terlalu banyak peluang dan ruang untuk anak-anak muda untuk terjerumus ke dalam
gejala LGBT. Pembangunan berbentuk material yang pesat di ibu kota terutama di kawasan
Bukit Bintang dengan kemudahan hotel-hotel, pusat membeli belah, SPA, kelab-kelab malam
(termasuklah kelab malam untuk golongan gay) dengan mengadakan perniagaan hingga ke

22. awal pagi menyebabkan banyak wujudnya ruang dan peluang kepada golongan remaja dan
belia terjebak dengan najis dadah, pelacuran serta termasuklah gejala LGBT ini. [10]
e) Pendidikan Seks Yang Salah
Faktor pendidikan seks yang salah ini memerlukan susunan ayat yang tepat kerana dibimbangi
sebarang salah faham akan menjadi sumber fitnah kepada diri saya sendiri. Ibubapa perlu
memberikan didikan seks yang betul kepada anak-anak mereka. Maksud betul di sini ialah
seorang anak lelaki dididik agar cenderung dan minat kepada perempuan dan demikianlah
sebaliknya terhadap anak perempuan. Pada waktu yang sama, anak-anak dididik cara
perhubungan yang betul agar tidak terjadi sesuatu yang dilarang oleh agama. Islam menuntut
hubungan seksual antara lelaki dan wanita (heteroseksual) dan hubungan ini ada syarat-
syaratnya. Kesongsangan berlaku apabila anak-anak dididik seolah-olah semua hubungan
antara lelaki dan wanita adalah haram. Didikan yang melampaui batas inilah yang
menyebabkan anak-anak membesar dengan kecenderungan seks yang berlawanan dari fitrah
ciptaan mereka. Penyelesaian kepada punca ini tidak sahaja disandarkan kepada proses
pendidikan ibubapa, tetapi meluas kepada para penjaga, guru, pensyarah, penceramah,
peranan masjid dan masyarakat.
f) Salah Faham Terhadap Takdir
Ramai dikalangan pengamal LGBT apabila ditegur tentang kecenderungan jantina dan seksual
yang berlawanan dari fitrah manusia, ada yang menjawab bahawa itu adalah takdir Allah ke
atas diri mereka dan mereka redha terhadapnya. Ini adalah kefahaman yang salah terhadap
takdir. Ketahuilah bahawa keredhaan terhadap takdir yang tidak disukai oleh Allah SWT pada
ukuran manusia terbahagi kepada dua kategori iaitu:
i. Kategori pertama adalah takdir yang berupa musibah seperti penyakit dan kemiskinan. Maka kita
dianjurkan untuk redha dan pada waktu yang sama berusaha untuk mencari takdir lain yang
lebih baik, seperti kesembuhan dari penyakit dan kecukupan sesudah kemiskinan.
ii. Kategori kedua ialah takdir yang berupa sesuatu yang dilarang oleh agama, seperti kecenderungan
jantina dan seks yang berlawanan dari fitrah manusia. Maka tidak ada dalil yang menganjurkan
kita untuk redha dengannya. Sebaliknya semua dalil-dalil agama mewajibkan kita untuk
membencinya dan berusaha ke arah takdir yang selari dengan tuntutan agama.
g) Media Electronic dan ICT
Teknologi moden dan media terkini seperti televisyen, CD, video, sistem audio, komputer,
modem, video kamera dan telefon bimbit mempunyai kesan yang besar terhadap masyarakat.
Internet adalah salah satu daripada media canggih yang mana semakin ramai orang
menggunakannya dengan harganya yang semakin murah dan kemudahan capaian produk-

23. produk teknologikal seperti komputer, modem, video kamera dan telefon bimbit kebanyakannya
kini dilengkapi dengan capaian Internet.
Di Malaysia, sepanjang tahun 2009, jumlah pengguna Internet adalah seramai 16,902,600
pengguna berbanding tahun 2000, hanya sekitar 3,700,000 pengguna daripada populasi
masyarakat Malaysia yang mencecah 26,160,256 orang. Ringkasnya, peratusan peningkatan
pengguna Internet sejak tahun 2000 hingga 2009, jumlahnya adalah 356.8%[11]. Berdasarkan
data daripada Suruhanjaya Komunikasi dan Multimedia, pengguna Internet di rumah sahaja
telahpun mencapai lebih 2.5 juta pengguna. Daripada statistik yang dikemukakan oleh sumber
yang sama, pengguna Internet di rumah pada tahun 2008 adalah seramai 51.9% lelaki dan
48.1% wanita. Kategori umur dewasa iaitu yang berumur 20 hingga melebihi 50 tahun adalah
sebanyak 75.3% manakala umur 19 dan kebawah adalah 24.7%. Seramai 55% pengguna
adalah belum berkahwin manakala 44.3% telah berkahwin. Kebanyakan pengguna telah
bekerja (51.5%)[12].
Data ini menunjukkan penggunaan Internet yang sangat meluas di negara Malaysia. Perkataan
‘seks’ adalah merupakan salah satu daripada topik yang paling digemari untuk dilayari di
Internet[13]. Dijangkakan sebanyak 4.2 juta (12%) daripada kesemua laman web dalam Internet
adalah yang berunsurkan seks/lucah atau pornografi, di mana 25% daripada jumlah tersebut
adalah hangat terutamanya di kalangan golongan muda di Malaysia[14]. Ternyata walaupun
dari segi peratusannya nampak kecil, tetapi, jika dilihat dari segi hakikatnya, ia adalah jumlah
yang agak membimbangkan. Berdasarkan kajian lepas, daripada 31% golongan yang melayari
laman web berunsurkan lucah, 5.5% menunjukkan ciri-ciri ketagihan manakala 17% adalah
berisiko untuk menjadi ketagih.
Menurut statistik yang diperolehi melalui Suruhanjaya Multimedia dan Komunikasi Malaysia
(2010), kekerapan penggunaan Internet di rumah yang melebih 15 jam adalah 29.6%. Angka ini
perlu dikaji untuk menilai samada wujud masalah ketagihan Internet, khususnya seks siber,
dalam kalangan pengguna.
3.3 Kesan Keburukan Dan Bahaya Dalam Masyarakat
Kesan yang paling ketara kepada pengamal hubungan sesama sejenis ini ialah seperti berikut:
a. Penyakit HIV AIDS
Penyakit AIDS mulai menjadi tumpuan ramai apabila pada 5 Jun1981, doktor mulai
mengambarkan wabak paru-paru berair yang biasanya sukar terjadi, yang menular dikalangan
lima orang homoseksual di Los Angeles. Semenjak itu, AIDS dan homoseksual menjadi
bagaikan seerti. Pada awal-awal penyakit merebak, San Francisco merupakan kawasan gay
paling teruk dijangkiti, di mana hampir separuh daripada populasi homoseksualnya telah
dijangkiti.[19]
Kini selepas penurunan kadar jangkitan AIDS dalam kalangan homoseksual pada tahun-tahun
kebelakangan, peningkatan jangkitan AIDS kembali meningkat dalam kalangan gay melalui

24. tempat mandi umum, tempat popular bagi kalangan gay mencari seksual bebas, kini menjadi
tempat utama penyebaran AIDS dalam kalangan homoseksual. [20]
b. Penyakit Siflis
Antara penyakit lain kerana aktiviti seks yang songsang ialah penyakit siflis. Penyakit jangkitan
seks mempengaruhi organ seks dan juga organ lain. Gonorea dan sifilis ialah penyakit seks
yang paling biasa. AIDS ialah penyakit yang paling berbahaya kerana masih tiada penawar.
Penyakit jangkitan seks juga dikenali sebagai penyakit kelamin atau venereal (VD – Venereal
Disease). Penyakit jangkitan seks telah mencapai taraf epidemic. Sifilis dan gonorea
mempunyai bilangan kes yang paling tinggi antara penyakit berjangkit yang dilaporkan. Walau
bagaimanapun bilangan kes sebenar dianggarkan tiga hingga lima kali ganda bilangan kes
yang dilaporkan.[21]
c. Timbul Masalah Kecelaruan Dalam Hubungan Keluarga
Jika kita meneliti masalah LGBT di negara-negara barat yang membenarkan perkahwinan
sesama sejenis[22], terdapat masalah kecelaruan dalam hubungan keluarga. Ini kerana bagi
wanita yang berkahwin dengan wanita, mereka tidak boleh melahirkan anak kerana tiada
sperma. Bagi lelaki yang berkahwin sesama lelaki juga turut mengalami masalah yang sama
kerana tiada telur untuk mengandung. Untuk menyelesaikan masalah mendapatkan anak,
mereka memilih untuk mengadakan persemanian beradas untuk mendapatkan anak. Kaedah
ini amat bertentangan dengan syariah Islamiah kerana kita tidak dapat menentukan kesahihan
nasab keturunan.
Rentetan dari itu, timbul pula pelbagai masalah kerana matlamat rumahtangga yang kabur.
Islam menggalakkan perkahwinan kerana untuk mendapatkan keredhaan Allah SWT, mengikuti
sunnah Nabi Muhammad SAW, mengawal hawa nafsu dengan cara yang halal,
mengembangkan zuriat keturunan dengan cara pernikahan yang sah disisi syarak. Perbuatan
perkahwinan sesama sejenis ini bukan sahaja dilaknat oleh Allah SWT, malahan bertengangan
dengan fitrah manusia itu sendiri.
4.0 Kaedah Penyelesaian Secara Islam
Berikut adalah beberapa cadangan oleh penulis untuk mengatasi masalah LGBT menurut
perspektif Islam:
i. Kesedaran dari dalam hati untuk berubah
Golongan LGBT muslim adalah pada asasnya Islam. Walaupun mereka melakukan dosa yang
terkutuk ini, ruang dan peluang harus diberikan kepada mereka untuk kembali ke panggal jalan.
Walaupun mereka sedar mereka terjebak dalam kancah maksiat, tetapi penulis sangat percaya
jauh disudut hati mereka, mereka sedar apa yang mereka lakukan adalah tidak normal dan

25. bertentangan dengan ajaran Islam. Maka, kepada golongan LGBT yang mahu berubah, setiap
perbuatan mestilah dimulakan dengan niat terlebih dahulu. Iaitu niat untuk berubah.
Selari dengan ajaran Islam, setiap perbuatan mestilah dimulai dengan niat, lafaz dan perbuatan.
Insya Allah, penulis yakin golongan LGBT ini boleh dipulihkan pemikiran mereka untuk kembali
menjadi normal. Kemudian, barulah diubah penampilan mereka seperti cara berpakaian, cara
percakapan dan perlakuan mereka kepada normal.
ii. Mendirikan Solat
Seterusnya, ibadah solat yang sempurna pula akan dapat menghalang umat Islam daripada
berbuat dosa. Solat itu sendiri telah menjadi benteng pertahanan kepada kita daripada nafsu
yang mendorong untuk berbuat maksiat. Ini adalah berdasarkan kepada dalil Al-Quran firman
Allah SWT:
Maksudnya: Bacalah serta ikutlah (wahai Muhammad) akan apa yang diwahyukan kepadamu
dari Al-Quran, dan dirikanlah sembahyang (dengan tekun); sesungguhnya sembahyang itu
mencegah dari perbuatan yang keji dan mungkar; dan sesungguhnya mengingati Allah adalah
lebih besar (faedahnya dan kesannya); dan (ingatlah) Allah mengetahui akan apa yang kamu
kerjakan.[23]
Jika diperhatikan sungguh-sungguh kita akan dapati bahawa manusia cukup suka melakukan
perkara-perkara yang negatif yang menyeronokkan, meskipun perkara yang dilakukan itu
memudharatkan dirinya. Untuk mengaitkan kelebihan ini dengan tajuk kertas kerja ini, maka
difahami bahawa mereka yang mendirikan solat, maka Allah SWT akan membuka mata hati
mereka sehingga mampu menilai sesuatu perbuatan itu apa kategorinya. Apakah ianya baik di
sisi agama, di mata orang atau ianya keji pada hukum agama dan mata masyarakat? Jadi,
manusia yang dianugerahi Allah akan kelebihan ini akan terpandu perjalanan hidupnya agar
tidak terjebak dengan aktiviti tidak bermoral seperti LGBT ini.
Allah SWT telah memerintah supaya mendirikan solat dan juga telah menerangkan kesan solat
kepada mereka yang mendirikannya. Solat itu mencegah perbuatan keji iaitu perbuatan yang
haram dan kata-kata mungkar. Perbuatan yang keji dan perkataan yang mungkar, kedua-
duanya menghasilkan dosa.
iii. Mendapatkan Perkhidmatan Kaunseling/Khidmat Nasihat
Dewasa ini terdapat banyak perkhidmatan kaunseling yang disediakan untuk membantu
golongan LGBT supaya dapat menyelesaikan kemelut identiti gender ini secara klinikal dan
kognitif. Malahan, perkhidmatan nasihat yang sama juga ada disediakan dimana-mana pejabat
agama di seluruh negara. Penulis juga menyokong penuh usaha pihak kerajaan yang telah

26. menubuhkan pusat perlindungan “Ilaj Home” untuk golongan LGBT untuk mendapatkan
rawatan dan kaunseling kaedah Islam. [24]
iv. Peranan Ibubapa, Pendidik dan Masyarakat
Ibubapa harus lebih berperanan untuk memantau anak-anak remaja agar tidak terjebak dengan
masalah LGBT ini. Ibu bapa perlu memiliki kualiti bimbingan yang baik supaya anak-anak tidak
mengira peringkat umur termasuklah anak-anak remaja berada dalam pengaruh budaya
keluarga yang sihat. Jika tidak, pengaruh buruk di luar rumah yang sedang menunggu akan
mempengaruhi mereka. Ibubapa wajib membina asas pendidikan yang kukuh (foundation)
kepada anak-anak. Kita tidak mahu anak-anak menjadi keliru dan tidak tahu memilih mana
yang baik dan buruk dalam hidup mereka. Dr Yusof al-Qardhawi mengatakan bahawa kesan
paling menonjol akibat dari tamadun hari ini ialah terpisahnya ikatan akhlak yang mendedahkan
manusia kepada pelbagai krisis dan gejala. Bimbang dengan tekanan ini, penulis menyeru
ibubapa agar membimbing anak-anak secara serius terutamanya dari sudut rohani atau
bimbingan hati.
v. Peranan Masjid
Penulis juga menggesa agar pihak kerajaan untuk terus memperkasakan institusi masjid di
seluruh negara. Masjid bukan sahaja dijadikan tempat beribadah tetapi ia juga berperanan
sebagai pusat pembangunan sosial dan komuniti umat Islam di negara ini. Pihak masjid adalah
digesa untuk turut melaksanakan program pencegahan seperti kempen menjauhi zina, anti
Valentines days dan program untuk golongan Lesbian, Gay, Biseksual dan Transeksual (LGBT)
melalui kutbah Jumaat, ceramah, kuliah magrib dan melalui aktiviti-aktiviti masjid sepanjang
tahun.
5.0 Kesimpulan
Isu berkaitan LGBT ini yang membawa kepada fahaman budaya songsang melawan arus
sistem agama, kemanusiaan dan keluarga sering menjadi berita paling panas ketika ini di
negara kita. Mereka yang memilih serta terjebak dalam budaya songsang ini dengan jelasnya
telah melakukan sesuatu yang tidak normal serta tidak menghormati institusi keluarga, agama
dan aspek moral. Jika dilihat dari perspektif yang lebih besar, budaya ini merosakkan sistem
sosial dan keluarga. Budaya songsang ini bukan lahir daripada kehendak normal, tetapi
dibudayakan melalui cara hidup songsang yang jauh terpesong daripada sistem kemanusiaan
sejagat.

27. Akibat daripada pembudayaan negatif ini akan membawa kemusnahan sistem
sosial dengan pencangahan nilai dan perkosaan adat budaya kita sebagai
orang Timur. Ibu bapa kepada Gay dan Lesbian, terpaksa menghadapi
tekanan yang datang dari pelbagai sudut sama ada keagamaan,
kemasyarakatan dan undang-undang sosial dunia yang berlandaskan nilai-
nilai murni. Dalam usaha untuk membangunkan dan mengekalkan nilai
murni yang baik, anak yang terjerumus ke dalam budaya LGBT perlu melihat
tanggungan orang yang menyanyangi mereka untuk sedar bahawa
pembabitan mereka dalam budaya LGBT itu sebenarnya adalah salah.
Institusi keluarga adalah benteng terakhir untuk melahirkan keluarga dan
insan berintegriti melalui pembinaan keluarga bahagia, peningkatan integriti
dalam pengurusan kesihatan jasmani dan rohani serta pemantapan nilai-nilai
murni sebagai asas dalam pembentukan identiti.
Oleh itu, janganlah kita bersikap berdiam diri dengan alasan hal ini tidak melibatkan diri secara
langsung. Perlu diingatkan kerosakan yang berlaku ini akan tetap menimpa kita, jika tidak
sekarang mungkin pada masa akan datang.
