Love and Sex in Muslim Societies

“Love” is that word, which makes the eyes of youths glow upon hearing it, especially when they are in love. That word represents the strongest emotion one can experience.
Youth love is a sensitive issue for most Muslim families. Many parents will not feel comfortable talking with their sons or daughters about love in general or about the person they feel attracted to.
On the other hand, those sons and daughters rarely speak with their parents about their feelings in order to avoid any clash or because they are sure their feelings and thoughts will never be understood.
Sex is part of nature, it is allowed by Allah and it is a beautiful thing to do when it is made with love, respect, responsibility and most importantly, when it is done within the halal frame that abides by religious rules.
However, in many Muslim homes this word is considered a taboo. Some Muslims even misunderstand religion to the extent that they prohibit things that Allah has mad halal for us and they over do it!
In this book, Onislam’s Family & Society provides you with many interesting articles that tackle the sensitive issues of love and sex in Muslim societies in addition to some questions -related to love and sex- that we received through our Counseling service and were answered by our professional counselors.
