Etiquette of Sexual Intimacy

 

The objective of religion is purification of the soul. In no way does it regard anal or oral sex as desirable. The Almighty has directed Muslims to come near their wives through the way He has prescribed for it. The words of the Qur’ ān are:فَأْتُوهُنَّ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَمَرَكُمْ اللَّهُ (٢: ٢٢٢)  (go to them from where God has enjoined you, (2:222)). The norms of copulation are ingrained in human nature, and as such are no less than a directive of God. Thus if anyone disobeys this innate guidance he disobeys an explicit directive – in fact, something more than explicit, and thus shall definitely be punished by the Almighty for this.

 

Where this verse occurs in the Qur’ān, right after it, the Qur’ān has explained this very directive through the metaphor of cultivated land. While explaining these verses, Imām Amīn Ahsan Islāhī writes:

 

One very apparent reason for using this metaphor is the fact that just as for a cultivated land it is essential on the part of the farmer that seeds be sown in the appropriate season at the right time, and no farmer disregards the principle that they be sown within the fields and not scattered outside them, similarly it is a norm of human instinct that one should not approach a lady for sexual intercourse during the menstrual cycle or in an unnatural way because the period of menses is a time during which women are frigid and not inclined, while unnatural intercourse is a painful and wasteful activity. Therefore, people who have not perverted their nature cannot indulge in such an activity.1

 

While explaining the expression أَنَّى شِئْتُمْ فَأْتُوا حَرْثَكُمْ (go then, into your lands in any manner you please), Islāhī goes on to write:

 

… [this] alludes simultaneously to two things: on the one hand, it refers to the liberty, freedom and free manner with which a farmer approaches his land, and on the other hand refers to the responsibility, caution and care which he must exercise in approaching his land. The word حَرْثٌ refers to the latter and the word أَنَّى شِئْتُمْ to the former. It is both this liberty and caution which ascertain the correct behaviour of a husband with his wife in this regard.

 

Everyone knows that the real bliss of married life is the freedom a person has in intimate affairs barring a few broad restrictions. The feeling of this freedom has a great amount of euphoria around it. When a person is with his wife in intimate moments, Divine will seems to be that he be overcome with emotions but at the same time it is pointed out to him that he has come into a field and an orchard; it is no wasteland or a forest. He may come to it in whatever manner and in whatever way whenever he pleases, but he must not forget that he has landed in his orchard. The Qur’ān has no objection on the discretion, choice and majesty with which he approaches his field if he knows full well where he is going and in no way is oblivious of this reality.2

  

The importance of all these directives is pointed to by the Qur’ān in the words إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ التَّوَّابِينَ وَيُحِبُّ الْمُتَطَهِّرِينَ (God indeed loves those who repent and those who adhere to cleanliness). While explaining the importance of these words in the eyes of the Almighty, Islāhī writes:

 

… if one deliberates on the essence of tawbah and tatahhur, one comes to the conclusion that while the former means to cleanse one’s inner-self from sins, the latter means to cleanse one’s outer-self from filth and dirt. Viewed thus, both are similar in their essence and the Almighty holds both these traits of a believer in great admiration. On the other hand, people who lack these traits are disliked by the Almighty. It is evident from the context of this verse that those who do not refrain from intercourse with their wives during their periods of impurity and violate the limits ingrained in human nature in satisfying their sexual urge are detestable in the eyes of the Almighty.3

Sources of Islam

Islam is the guidance which was first inspired by the Almighty in human nature and after that it was given by Him with all details to mankind through His prophets. Muhammad (sws) is the last of these prophets. Consequently, it is now he alone who in this world is the sole source of this religion. It is only through him that man can receive divine guidance and it is only he who, through his words, deeds or tacit approvals, has the authority to regard something as part of Islam until the Day of Judgement. The Qur’an says:

 

هُوَ الَّذِي بَعَثَ فِي الْأُمِّيِّينَ رَسُولًا مِّنْهُمْ يَتْلُو عَلَيْهِمْ آيَاتِهِ وَيُزَكِّيهِمْ وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ الْكِتَابَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ (٢:٦٢)

It is He who has sent among the unlettered a Messenger from amongst themselves who rehearses upon them His verses and purifies them and for this he instructs them in shari‘ah and in hikmah. (62:2)

 

It is this shari‘ah (law) and this hikmah (wisdom) which is termed as “Islam”. The source of this religion is the Prophet Muhammad (sws) from whom it has been given to the ummah through the consensus of his Companions (rta) and through their perpetual practice and perpetual recitation in two forms:

 

1. The Qur’an

2. The Sunnah

 

1. The Qur’an

Every Muslim knows that the Qur’an was revealed by Allah to Muhammad (sws) – the last of the prophets – and it has since then remained with the ummah with the unanimous verdict from the ummah itself that it is this very book which was revealed to the Prophet (sws), and which his Companions (rta), through their consensus and through their perpetual recitation, delivered to the world without the slightest alteration.

 

2. The Sunnah

By Sunnah is meant that tradition of Prophet Abraham’s (sws) religion which the Prophet Muhammad (sws) instituted among his followers as religion after reviving and reforming it and after making certain additions to. The Qur’an has directed Muhammad (sws) to obey this Abrahamic tradition in the following words:

 

ثُمَّ أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْكَ أَنِ اتَّبِعْ مِلَّةَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَنِيفًا وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ (١٢٣:١٦)

Then We revealed to you to follow the ways of Abraham, who was true in faith and was not among the polytheists. (16:123)

 

The following portion of Islam has been given to us through the Sunnah:
 

Worship Rituals

i. The Prayer

ii. Zakah and Sadqah of ‘Id al-Fitr

iii. Fasting and ‘Itikaf

iv. Hajj and ‘Umrah

v. Animal Sacrifice and the takbirs during the days of tashriq1

 

Social Sphere

i. Marriage and Divorce and their relevant details

ii. Abstention from coitus during the menstrual and the puerperal period

 

Dietary Sphere

i. Prohibition of pork, blood, meat of dead animals and animals slaughtered in the name of someone other than Allah

ii. Slaughtering in the prescribed manner of tadhkiyah by taking Allah’s name

 

Customs and Etiquette

i.   Remembering Allah’s name before eating or drinking and using the right hand for eating and drinking

ii.   Greeting one another with assalamu ‘alaykum (peace be to you) and responding with wa ‘alaykum al-salam (and peace be to you)

iii.  Saying alhamdu lilah (praise be to Allah) after sneezing and responding to it by saying yarhamu kallah (may Allah have mercy on you)

iv.  Saying adhan in the right ear of a new born baby and saying ‘iqamah in its left ear

v.  Keeping moustaches trimmed

vi.   Shaving pubic hair

vii.  Shaving the hairs under the armpits

viii. Cutting nails

ix.   Circumcising the male offspring

x.    Cleaning the nose, the mouth and the teeth

xi.   Cleaning the body after excretion

xii.  Bathing after the menstrual and the puerperal period

xiii.  Ghusl-i Janabah2

xiv. Bathing the dead before burial

xv.  Enshrouding a dead body and preparing it for burial

xvi. Burying the dead

xvii.  ‘Id al-Fitrp

xviii.  ‘Id al-Adha

 

This is all what the Sunnah is, and it can be said with certainty that there is no difference between it and the Qur’an as far as their authenticity is concerned. Just as the Qur’an has been received by ummah through the consensus of the Prophet’s Companions (rta)  and through their perpetual recitation, the Sunnah has been received by it through their consensus and through their perpetual practice and stands validated like the Qur’an in every period of time through the consensus of the ummah. Consequently, there is no doubt or debate about it now.

 

All that is Islam is constituted by these two sources. Nothing besides these two is Islam or can be regarded as its part.

 

A narrative of the words, deeds or tacit approvals of the Prophet (sws) called Hadith and the knowledge gained from them can never be regarded as absolutely certain. Hence, a Hadith does not add anything to the content of Islam stated in the Qur’an and Sunnah. Ahadith (plural of Hadith) only explain and elucidate what is contained in these two sources and also describe the exemplary way in which the Prophet (sws) followed Islam. This only is the sphere of Hadith which falls within the ambit of Islam. Outside this sphere, there exists no narrative which can be called or accepted as Hadith.

 

Within this sphere, however, every person who after being convinced of a Hadith accepts it as one containing the words, deeds or tacit approvals of the Prophet must follow it. In no circumstances can he evade or ignore it; in fact, it becomes incumbent upon him to accept any directive or decision of the Prophet (sws) depicted in that Hadith.

Discussion Forum: Understanding the Sunnah

Topic: Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (sws)

 

lofty
If people of pre-Arabia can corrupt the Sunnah of Prophet Abraham (as mentioned in module 1 course notes), what guarantee do we have that Muslims will not or have not corrupted the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad?

mariam_78
I do not know if I am knowledgeable enough to help you answering this question but I think to avoid from being led astray from the straight path it is very important to check the sources of to where we get our knowledge from. And also look at the chain of people who narrated the hadith or sunnah of nabi (saw)

Insha'Allah if what I said is correct it is from Allah t'ala and whatever is wrong it is from me

ma Salaama (greetings to switzerland)

lofty
I am afraid that does not answer my Question Mariam. May be question was not so clear. It is clear from the course notes that people of pre-Islamic era had corrupted the sunnah of Prophet Abraham. Prophet Muhammad only revived the sunnah of Abraham, after some addition and deletion. Who is going to revive the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad if Muslims distort it, and what guarantee do we have that Muslims have not or will not corrupt it just like pagans. I was hoping Mr. Hashmi will answer my questions on course forums. No body seems interested in course forums either any more.

Tariq Hashmi [Moderator]
Sorry for not responding to the questions earlier. I did not notice that there were posts which need my attention. Please excuse me.

You ask what guarantees the preservation of the Sunan now when they were liable to change in the times preceding the Prophet (sws).

The Sunan of Abraham no doubt were religious practice and were disseminated among a groups of his followers but in the Arabian side the ion of Abraham was not accepted by and disseminated among an entire generation which could carry it uncorrupted. They were not that widely spread. Neither was it made possible that the basic beliefs of the people are secure. Therefore we see that with the introduction of polytheism the sunan of the Abraham the most manifest of which were hajj being spoiled. Their nature (being practices which everyone adheres to) kept them alive but the lack of the pure faith and true knowledge regarding them was the reason impurities could creep in.

The Sunnah is same as the Qur’an both as regards it transmission down from the Prophet (sws) and the degree of care taken to preserve them by the Prophet (sws) and the Prophet (Abraham). The religion of the Prophet Abraham was not to serve as the last guidance to the people on earth. therefore it was not guaranteed security. On the contrary the religion of the Prophet (sws) was destined to serve as the last guidance till the Last Day it was revealed, recorded and disseminated in the most perfect way so that it is still unadulterated and clear to all.

Ibrahimblicksjo
We can never be guaranteed that the books or collection of ahadith has been tampered with, or that someone tells lies about what Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) have said or done. Allah has promised to protect the Holy Qur'an and no the ahadeeth. BUT since Allah protects the Qur'an we are helped. When 'Aisha (raa) mother of the believers, was asked about the character of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) she answered that he was a walking (living) Qur'an. So in view of this, if any act of Sunna that you read about goes against the Quran, then leave it. About the ahadeeth, that is a whole since in itself. I suggest you stick to the Seven sahihs and take the course on hadith at this website and you will see what I mean about the "science" part.

JunaidHasan
THE AHADITH:

The Ahadith are not an independent source of Sharia (Islamic law) as they do not add to the content of the Qur’an and Sunnah. They merely explain the Qur’an and Sunnah and are totally dependent on these two for their survival. The fact that we cannot, cent percent, guarantee every Hadith should not mean that we should turn our backs on the Ahadith. That is because:

1. The scholars of the science of Hadith (for example, Imam Muslim, Imam Bukhari, Imam Malik (RA)) have put in tremendous efforts to distinguish the true Ahadith from the fabricated ones. These are such outstanding and worthwhile efforts that we can be highly proud of them.

2. The Ahadith help a great deal to understand the directives of the Qur’an. For example, what was the real purpose behind the delay in commanding that no more people could be made slaves?

3. They are the only source from which we can get to know the biography and lifestyle of the Prophet (SAW).

4. They inform us of the uswa-e-hasana (the way our dear Prophet (SAW) carried out the Quranic directives in the most beautiful way, for example, the way he performed ablution) of the Prophet (SAW).

5. They enlighten the background in which the Qur’an was revealed. This background, which includes the geographical circumstances of the Qur’anic revelations, is extremely important to understand the true essence of the different Quranic directives. For example, when the Qur’an says “these Jews” cannot be your friends, we need to know “which Jews”. The Ahadith tell us that those from the tree Jewish tribes of Al-Madina which were wholeheartedly against the Muslims and no good was expected of them anymore.

6. They inform us about the companions (RA) of the Prophet (SAW) who can be seen as the heroes in the history due to their extra-ordinary commitment with the Qur’an and Sunnah.

There may be many more reasons to embrace the science of Hadith but, I think, the above have already elaborated much.

THE SUNNAH:

1. So far, none of the established Sunan are “against” the Qur’an. (By this, I do not mean that all of them are explicitly mentioned in the Qur’an.)

2. The Sunan are the religious Abrahamic traditions that were already prevailing, in some form, in the world even before the advent of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW). These Sunan are older than the Qur’an itself. If a Sunnah is not mentioned in the Qur’an (for example: circumcision of the male children or the way Salah be performed etc.), it does not mean that it would be rejected as the Qur’an not only testifies the religion of the Prophet Abraham (SAW) but orders us to follow it. The Qur’an is revealed with the Sunan-e-Ibrahimi (the Abrahamic traditions) in its background that is why it doesn’t explain what is Hajj, Umrah and Salah but merely orders people to carry out these Sunan. In other words, people were already aware of the Sunan-e-Ibrahimi. However, the Holy Prophet (SAW) purified these Sunan from the polytheistic spirits developed within them with time, and rectified them in their supreme form. Though Sunan were present in all the Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) but they should not be mixed up with the laws (Sharia) of each religion – the laws kept changing in the different Divine books but the Sunan, more or less, remained the same.

The question why the Holy Prophet (SAW) adopted the religious Abrahimic traditions and, after corrections and additions, instituted them in the lives of his followers as an integral part of their faith is answered in the following verse:

“And then we revealed unto you (the command) to follow the religion of Abraham, who was steadfast and was not one of the polytheists.” (16:123)

3. The Sunan are as pure as the Qur’an itself because both have come to us through the same mean of transformation – the consensus of each generation of the Ummah.

4. The whole Ummah is and has been unanimous on the established Sunan because of the Sunan’s superlative clarity. If a group of Muslims adds something new to the Sunan, the whole Ummah doesn’t accept it. Therefore, the consensus of, by and large, the whole Ummah is necessary to entitle something as Sunnah.

I hope this would be of help.

Salaamu Alaikom wa Rahmatullah.

Thank you very much for a very good answer and may Allah reward you for this.

Just to clear things up a bit. What I mean about sunnat going against the Qur'an is if someone claim something to be from the Sunnat and it is not.
 

Yusuf Estet said something very good: "Everything on this earth is HALAL for you except that which Allah and His Prophet forbade. And every 'EBADAT' is HARAM for you exept that which Allah and His Prophet allowed for you." Look and so many sects that do all types of strange worhships claiming it to be from our beloved Prophets Sunnat. We shall not just follow those blindly, but check for ourselves if this is in the qur'an or the Sunnat of Prophet Muhammad. Ofcourse Prophet Muhammad NEVER did anything going against the Qur'an BUT but ordinary men after him have done this. We know there is falsa and fabricated ahadith around and that is why we have to compare them with the Qur'an.

JunaidHasan
I totally agree! :)

salaam ....with all respect and honour ...............

What if the consensus of the whole present day ummah is that shaving beard is sunnah .........? will shaving beard become sunnah? What if this was the consensus of the entire ummah right from the 14th century till today....... would that make shaving beard a sunnah?

ozzieastro
Salaam Alaikum......

I really apologize if I was being harsh in my earlier post. It's just a question that was popping up in my mind. I would look forward for a reply.

In the mean time, I have registered for three courses on this site. I must say that this website is an excellent work. Alhamdulillah I am a born Muslim, and through this website, I wish to learn more about Islam.

Thank you for giving me an opportunity to express myself.

Iblis.... a Two part question........

 

 

Sofian

The Questions are: Was Iblis a Jinn of High Status or an Angel?

Also, since he chose to be haughty and refused to bow to Adam (pbu) did Allah already know that would happen and therefore based on that action it not only manifested His divine plan but brought it to fruition to govern man's life on earth?

(For your consideration: Since Iblis refused to bow and felt rebellious and better than man and in a more esteemed position, the fact Iblis refused Allah's command was indeed acting in accordance with what Allah truly wished and served that exact purpose by his refusal and thusly actually helped set man up as vice regent on earth)

 

student1

According to Qur'an, Ibees was a jinn

 
and he disobeyed the order of Allah(swt) during when he was told to bow
down infront of Adam(pbuh).

It says in the Surah:18,Verse:50
18:50 (Y. Ali) Behold! We said to the angels, "Bow down to Adam": They bowed down except Iblis. He was one of the Jinns, and he broke the Command of his Lord. Will ye then take him and his progeny as protectors rather than Me? And they are enemies to you! Evil would be the exchange for the wrong-doers! -

Pls note that Angels cannot disobey Allah because they don't have freewill unlike jinns.

 

Student Affairs

The two most effective and most utilized weapons of the Devil are to divert the human from the straight path to God (sirat e mustaqeem) by turning his/her attention to 1.Nudity/immodesty and 2.Ego. Most religious people escape his 1st plot but get caught in the 2nd. This is why sadly we find many religious leaders and groups always busy building their own blocks~in order to keep their individual identities and flags to feed & satisfy their ego;hence fulfilling Satan's mission by breaking up the communities & promoting sectarianism.

quote:


the fact Iblis refused Allah's command was indeed

 
1. acting in accordance with what Allah truly wished, and
2. served that exact purpose by his refusal, and
3. thus actually helped set man up as vice regent on earth


Both Student 1. and student affairs have ignored those 3 points for which clarification is sought. You have only answered the first of the two-part question that is whether Iblees was a Jinn or Angel.

 

raushan

There something called precaution specially when you GUESS about something we don't know. More precaution is required when we talk about deen. At the top of that we must not guess or at least avoid to guess something which is ascribed to Allah.

we human being have been blessed with freewill and therefore we can question anything but these question [out of our area of knowledge] will end up in more complicated question with no answers.

e.g. in the given context we may ask as did iblees knew the plan? How come you know Allah has ONLY this plan? Cant he adopt other way to appoint men on earth even if iblees obeyed Him?

and ALLAH knows the best

 

Sofian

@ raushan... good point.
I would base that particular argument on the fact that Allah states that he knows what we know not. The Jinn have free will as well yes? The Angels being perfect were unable to disobey Allah.

 
As to you stating about " How come you know Allah has ONLY this plan? Cant he adopt other way to appoint men on earth even if iblees obeyed Him?"

 
1. (Only this plan) This is the only plan I can refer to since I am asking about a certain situation and not making assumption based on a supposed or other plan. It was only one time that Allah created Adam (PBU).

 
2. (Iblis disobeying) Since Allah knows what we know not and He created the haughty Iblis, Allah already knew His design of Iblis. Which might get into pre destination issues so I can allow for this part being seeming conjecture.

 

 

  Pause and Ponder


Can We call the Qur’an a Poetic Masterpiece?
Posted on: Thursday, March 04, 2010 - Hits: 2

Question:

I always thought the Qur’an was a poetic masterpiece, whereas the Qur’an itself seems to say that it is no poetry. What I gathered from it is that we should not associate poetic qualities to the Qur’an. It is above that, and this was an answer to the non-Muslims who used to call Prophet (sws) a poet. However, should I consider Qur’anic literary style as a poetic masterpiece, and would it be ok to call it “poetry”?

 

Answer:

My understanding is that the Qur’an incorporates in its text a style that is similar to poetry, but unlike poetry, it is not based on exaggerated statements that have to do with imaginations of the poet. A poet is tempted to go for untrue and exaggerated claims because he has to bring rhyming words in his verses and also to stir emotions of the readers. Qur’anic verses rhyme as well, but they are free of the limitation of poetry, because the Lord has no limitation for expressing ideas, and He is in no need to unnecessarily stir emotions of people. It is because of the rhyming nature of Qur’anic text that it is amenable to memorizing much more easily than prose.

It is therefore not correct to call the Qur’an a masterpiece of poetry. It is God’s word, which has adopted a style that is close to poetry in appearance, although it doesn’t have the weaknesses of poetry. According to some experts, the Qur’anic text is closer to the style of orators who address a large audience, and in the process they address different segments of it, interchanging the focus of address very now and then.

Perhaps a more accurate statement would be to call the Qur’an a literary masterpiece.

wassalam
