The marital relationship in Islam

Islam has defined a position of honor for women, the considerable responsibilities it has entrusted to them at home and outside, and the active and positive role it has assigned to them in the life of society. .

Sexuality is one of the pleasures of life in this world and the next.

It is a good and lawful thing, for which the human being is rewarded as long as he accomplishes it within the limits prescribed by law. We must rectify our conceptions distorted by the deformations of Sufism, under which are hidden the influence of the celibacy of Christian priests and certain ancient Eastern beliefs.

The Prophet (sbdl) and his Companions followed an approach ensuring a positive and serious sexual education, resulting in the psychological health of both men and women. We need to get rid of this aura of secrecy and darkness that surrounds everything related to sexuality from near or far.

The path taken by Muslim society is to facilitate marriage, in order to fulfill the purpose of the Almighty Creator, who knows His creatures better than anyone. Surrounding access to marriage with difficulties leads people to flee from obedience to God, and to approach apparent and hidden turpitudes, even to fall into them.
