Men and their sex drive by reader Mirri

Mirri,

Your response is very interesting. It's as if you were reading the statement the Prophet Muhammad- may ALLAAH be pleased with all the Prophets- made over 1400 years ago. He was asked by a young man who wanted to commit adultery (which a lot glorify today) for permission to do so. He simply asked the youth if he would like such to be done with his sister, mother or wife: he replied that he would not. Then, the Prophet told him others would also not like it to be done to their sisters, mothers and wives. In this simple way(and contrary to the heaps of lies being peddled about him being harsh and forceful) he convinced the youth to drop such thoughts and to be fearful of the Creator who has created in us sexual desires but determined that they should be satisfied through lawful means. Your post shows that you still possess the natural state by which uncorrupted man recognises tthat which is naturally correct. This is indeed a blessing.... Abdullah
