The Importance of Sex in Islam (Must Know)

Married life, which is coming later on in the Surah, Allah put this desire inside the human being. And the only way you can fulfill that desire is through proper nikah—that’s the only way.

A Halal Fulfillment

Married life is supposed to be the fulfillment of your desires—the desires of the male and the desires of the female. But Allah gave us that Halal option. He gave us that alternative, and He gave it for a reason.

More Than Just an Act

By the way guys, I know this sounds adult, but you should have known better, you know. The word for intimacy, intercourse, and the word for marriage is the same word in Arabic, it’s the same word in the Quran. Didn’t I just show it to you?

At the Heart of the Union

This is not some small part of marriage. This is at the heart of what marriage is. Like the Prophet himself would say, until you taste his honey, until she taste your honey—this is not—I’m not trying to be shameless here, but I’m trying to help you understand. Allah put this desire in us, and that desire should be fulfilled to your satisfaction within marriage.

The Consequences of Neglect

Because if it’s not—if you’re not satisfied and happy in your marriage—then it’s gonna start messing you up. It’s not going to be good for you, it’s not going to be good for her, and you know what the biggest damage will be?

Guarding Your Iman

The biggest damage will be to your Iman. Because this subject is there to protect what? Iman. That’s what it’s there for. Your spiritual life will be damaged. You won’t be able to concentrate, you won’t be able to think properly because these unmet desires are going to eat away at you.

A Sacred Bond of Love

It’s a serious subject, people. This is a very serious subject. This is an act of love. This is an act of rahma between two people. They’re closer than they’ve ever been—these people.

A Beautiful Metaphor

The way Allah talks about it is so beautiful. Allah says, you have poured into each other, you have shared everything about—you are their clothing, and they are your clothing.

The Role of Comfort

Clothing is never something that hurts you. Clothing is something that comforts you. Comfort clothing is something that beautifies you. Clothing is something that feels good, you know. Subhanallah, clothing is closer to you than anything else. If clothing is painful, you don’t want it—it’s uncomfortable.
