Homosexual is a bad behavior that is prohibited in Islamic jurisprudence based on al-Quran and Hadith. Homosexuality is a term that has been used since the 1990s. Moreover, this term has spread widely since it became a national issue. Homosexuality is despised by the community and those who practice it are disgusted and dirty. Referring to the JAKIM statement (2018) which states that there are more than 300,00 people comprising gay communities. Additionally, the same relationship is a contributor to the spread of sexually transmitted diseases and is badly affected. The ever-increasing current of globalization driven by today's rapid technology has led to the spread of these homosexuals. Considering past research, we concluded that younger participants with higher levels of media would have more positive attitudes on homosexuality. Due to the pressure from the society who did not receive these homosexuals, these adolescents were not willing to continue their lives and chose to live outside the country and even some committed suicide. This chapter will discuss several factors and the ways to overcome the problem of homosexual among Muslim adolescents. This paper also covers the definition of homosexuals and adolescents, western moral theory, homosexuality according to Islamic perspective and homosexual issues. Finally, the cooperation of the authorities to take the best measures to curb this problem is to ensure that Muslim communities can avoid the negative effects of abnormal treatment.
