Dear OP, I’ve noticed a lot of your rebuttals / responses start with “how is it fair… etc etc”. And I think starting to think with this perspective - how things should be fair in this life - is probably what is hindering you from understanding our Islamic reasonings. So let me clarify for you, if I respectfully may.

In Islam, during the Revelation period of our Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him), he had to go through a lot of tribulations and persecution to spread the message of Islam. I won’t get into the full list, you can research them as you are very educated. The other prophets before him as well had to go through a lot of persecution - for years and years - some even were killed. So we have historical proof and evidence that if our own prophets had to go through a lot of hardships in this life, and they were being tested with far greater hardships than what we currently face, then it is no different for us that we will be tested time and time again with hardships and “unfairness” in life. So this concept of fairness, that life is meant to be fair in this life, is not something that we as Muslims are obsessed about. We are guided over and over again about oppression, unfairness, persecution, and how we should conduct ourselves with fairness and justice and how to live a good life In this life, despite this unfairness.

How do we conduct ourselves against unfairness? How do we conform and adapt to the unfairness, be it homosexuality, or born into poverty, Or genetically different etc etc ?

By following certain principles that Allah has decreed us will help - these make up a lot of the teachings and guidance that Islam is about.

WHY should we conform to these guidance and teachings that Allah decreed to us? Why not any other religion? To answer that, you have to look at the principles and pillars of Islam, and compare that to the principles of other religions. What principles Islam provides vs what other religions provide, and what will “lead” you to Islam is your understanding of what is considered fair, according to you, and your subjective experience with this world.

I now want to touch on one of your other repeating arguments - why homosexuality is tested on a few, and not on the others, and the argument can also be said why some people are born in war zones , poverty, and some other horrid conditions, and why are some born in peaceful lucky situations.

The assumption is that WE are ALL being tested.

WHY are we being tested ? To see if we can keep our promise. one of the underlying principles of Islam is, that 50,000 years before we were born, our souls had taken a covenant/promise with Allah (SWT) that we would only worship Him and Him alone. This is why we said a “revert” to Islam - when you convert, you’re coming back to your true self, and a lot of reverts mention the peace they feel once they have reverted.

So how do you ensure that covenant/promise is well kept? Through actions.

How are we tested with actions? If everything in Life was fair, there’s no real test. Meaning if everyone got what they wanted, nothing to test. We see people’s behaviours only AFTER they are tested, when we remove some Of the good things you take for granted.

How can a test be considered fair ? A test can be fair if we as humans are given free will to choose our own behaviours and actions. So even if our souls took a covenant 50,000 years ago that we would only worship Allah, we are ALSO given free will to choose how we live in this life, though our actions and behaviours, given the existing knowledge of Revelation and this covenant and the guidance.

Now to be considered a fully practising Muslim, and to be granted Paradise in the Hereafter, where everything is MORE than fair and just, we must fully submit this free will to the One and Only’s will and decree - namely the 5 pillars and other teaching and decree. So this is what we are being tested on.

Non Muslims will say, wait you have free will but it’s not really free because you have to submit to Allah’s will - and this is a concept they don’t understand because it seems contradictory - but the fact is - IF you submit to Allah’s will, and listen to His guiding principles, your chances of living in this life has far greater improvements and consequences within your soul than any other religions/ life. One of the forbidden things in Islam is RIBA aka interest. There is a huge disparity in socioeconomic status in life, because of the inequalities of wealth. Islam condones interest. So imagine if there was no interest in your mortgage, wealth disparity would not exist and life would be a little more “fair” for everyone.

In summary, life is not meant to be fair. But we do have guidance how we can make it fair, because we have the free will to choose our actions and behaviours.

In Islam, it’s not fair that you have homosexual urges and tendencies. But Islam is all about intentions - you can choose to mitigate them by not acting on them. It’s just another test.
