Question

Will I be called homosexual if I only have thoughts of homosexuality but I am a normal man. I will never go close to it insha Allah. I hate it tooo and know that it is haram but I cannot get rid of these thoughts. What should I do?

Answer

You are a normal man. Just think more of death and the qabr.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
