Sexual Ethics in Islam and in the Western World (Persian: اخلاق جنسی در اسلام و جهان غرب) is a book containing a series of articles by Morteza Motahhari.
[8][9][10][11][12] In the book "Sexual Ethics in Islam and in the Western World", the author Morteza Motahhari, examines the discussion of "sexual ethics" in its various dimensions in Western schools, then criticizes these theories, expresses the view of the Islamic school.
In view of the above points, the supreme logic of Islam in sexuality attracts a great deal of attention.
[27][28] What causes man to look with pessimism at his natural desire and to actually condemn a part of his being?
[30] Muhammad and the Twelve Imams, according to the many works and narrations, have openly expressed their love and affection for women and, on the contrary, severely condemned those who wished to become monks.
One of the companions of Muhammad, Uthman ibn Mazoon, performed the act of worship excessively, he fasted every day, and prayed every night until morning.
His wife told Muhammad who looked angry, got up and went to Uthman ibn Mazoon, and said to him: "O 'Uthman, know that God did not send me for monasticism, my law,[31] is an easy natural law, I personally pray and fast and have intercourse with my wife, whoever wants to follow my religion must accept my tradition.
[35][36][37] God did not create a member of the body in vain, nor did he create a gift of spiritual talent, and just as all the organs of the body must be preserved and nourished, so must the spiritual talents be recorded and given enough food to cause grow them.
[39] Some people think that Islamic ethics and education are based on prevention and prohibition of natural talents.
[43] Therefore, Islam in its theoretical philosophy does not consider the carnal nature of man to be inherently evil, and in its practical philosophy, unlike the Indian philosophical and educational systems, either Cynicism or Manichaeism or Christianity, it does not follow the method of destroying the carnal powers or at least imprisonment by their cruel actions.
The "carnality part of ego" represents a disorder and a kind of rebellion that occurs in the human conscience for certain reasons.
Killing the ego means extinguishing and suppressing sedition and rebellion in the field of sensual powers and talents.
[56] Saturation of instinct is not contrary to the principle of chastity and piety, but only in the shadow of chastity and piety that instinct can be sufficiently saturated and prevent unnecessary excitement and unhappiness and the feeling of deprivation and repression caused by those emotions.
Natural instinct can be saturated, but false desire is unsaturated, especially if it takes the form of spiritual thirst.
[66][67] There are two possible types of love: One in the form of a state of passion and fervor, which as a result of the far away reach of the beloved and the extraordinary excitement of the soul and the concentration of intellectual powers in a single point on the one hand, and the rule of chastity and piety to the soul of the lover on the other.
