How can one overcome persistent homosexual urges, which began after experiencing sexual assault in childhood, despite adhering to Sharia advice and abstaining from forbidden acts?
To cure what you feel of deviation, you must occupy yourself with beneficial programs that combine useful knowledge, fruitful work, and permissible entertainment. Be diligent in the remembrance of Allah to repel the whispers of Satan, and make abundant supplication, asking Allah for chastity. You must lower your gaze from women and beardless youths, and hasten to marry if it is possible; otherwise, you must observe voluntary fasting. Do not despair of change, and supplicate to Allah to turn your heart towards good. Forget what happened in your childhood, and be keen on associating with people of righteousness and obedience.
