caydarus Posted January 31, 2011 Unlike the thinking of some 'people of the book, nor does abstaining from expressing it in a lawful manner lead to a higher level of spiritual a wareness. Allah created sexual urge in mankind, as the means by which the procreation and continuity of humanity is ensured.Allah, subhanahu wata' ala says, "And Allah has given you wives of your own kind, and has given you, from your wives, sons and grandsons, Qur'an (16:72) Sex is indeed a strong driving force in the human being. which demands fulfillment. Islam recognizes this urge and never denies it, but regulates it through the institution of marriage.Just as islam strictly forbids sex outside marriage, and all means leading to it, it also prohibits celibacy. The prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa salam, said young men, those of you who can support a wife should marry, for it keeps you from looking at women and preserves your chastity; (Bukhari) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
