Sex

In the Name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful

Sex is a remarkable example of the wondrous ingenuity of divine design. No one, who deeply ponders over it, can miss the superhuman skill & wisdom that has gone into its design!

The principle purpose of this wonderful thing is of course the propagation of the species. But there is another purpose for humans, which is apparently not applicable to other creatures.

The other purpose is to put human beings to a test. It's like the test the first humans, Adam & Eve, were put to when they were placed in heaven after their creation. They were asked to enjoy everything there except for tasting fruit of a certain tree. They failed the test, became aware, for the first time, of their sexual urges, & were banished to live the hard life on this earth.

We, the progeny of those first humans, have come into being by means of that same sexual urge. And, we are being tested by our Creator, throughout our lives here, for eligibility to be restored back to heaven.

This sexual urge is one of the various means by which we are tested. Unlike in some other animals, its use is restricted within bounds of a marriage. Those who go beyond these bounds, fail the test. Sex beyond confines of a marriage tie is one of the forbidden fruits for mankind now!
