This booklet adresses some of the important questions from our counselling service archive that focus on intimate sexual problems between Muslim spouses. As we display the problems, we feature answers from professional marriage counsellors who are keen to provide guidelines and recommendations to solve these problems.
In numerous places in the Quran, God reminds humans that they are from the same original human being. It is through this bond that they are interconnected and through these bonds that some of their rights upon one another are established. God states at the opening of the fourth Chapter of the Qur’an entitled An-Nisa’ (The Women):
“O mankind! Be dutiful to your Lord, Who created you from a single person, and from him He created his wife, and from them both He created many men and women and fear God through whom you demand your mutual (rights), and (do not cut the relations of) the wombs (kinship)! Surely, God is Ever an All-Watcher over you.” (An-Nisa’ 4:1).
God points out that the love and affection that He has created in the hearts of the spouses towards one another is
one of His great signs that act as portents for those people of understanding.
