Abstract

National Assembly of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan enacted a Transgender 
Person Protection Bill\Act back in 2018 which included several rights given to 
trans people. This act prohibits any kind of discrimination, harassment and give 
transgender an identity in society. Back then, this bill did not get any specific 
recognition as well as importance. But this very same act has been renewed with 
some amendments in 2022, only this time it received severe backlash nationally 
from famous Religious leaders as well as public. Reason for this severe criticism 
is vastly growing LGBT movements (lesbians, gays, bisexuals, trans genders) 
around the world and the even more problematic thing is that even muslim 
countries are also recognizing this ethically as well as religiously unacceptable 
movement which can lead directly towards the destruction of mankind. 
Controversial statements in the act enacted by National Assembly and opinions of 
different religious scholars on it is discussed here in light of the teachings of Holy 
Quran and Sunnah of Holy Prophet (PBUH).
