They believe that through following Allah's guidance, one may find success in this life and in the Hereafter.

It is also important to overcome the gay identity. Muslim identity should come first and any identity that conflicts with the Muslim identity (such as a gay identity) must be overcome. The group has opposed liberal Muslim groups such as the Al-Fatiha Foundation. In 2005, Ken Livingstone, Mayor of London, ignited controversy when he thanked Straightway for their support for controversial Islamic cleric Yusuf al-Qaradawi. Ex-gay watch has also criticized StraightWay for promoting other scholars that advocate the death penalty for homosexual activity. American ex-gay organizations have wrote favorably of them.
