Religion (Nugget): FOOD, SEX AND WATER!

STUDENT: Sir, Is it appropriate  islamically to have urge for Sex or have affection for the opposite gender? Asked Abdulrahman. TEACHER: Abdulrahman, do you usually feel hunger for Food and thirst for water? STUDENT: For sure sir, and such desires are inherent in us. Besides, I don't joke with my tummy Oh (smiles) TEACHER: When you feel those desires for food and water and you don't have where to fulfil them, would you steal to fulfil those desires? STUDENT: No!!!! Sir, for it is against the teachings of Islam  to steal. (frowns) TEACHER: Hmmm! Very good! Now, Abdulrahman just as Hunger for Food and water is inherent in man, so the Urge for Sex or affection for opposite sex is an Instinct enshrined within us as human beings by Allah. STUDENT: Hmmmm! I see. TEACHER: Just as it is abnormal for a person not to feel hungry, so whoever does not have sexual urge is highly abnormal . But, then since it is against Islamic teachings to steal in other to satisfy desires for Food and water, so also Allah has provided a medium to satisfy Sexual urge which is called MARRIAGE but if you satisfy that urge outside the circumference of marriage (pornography, masturbation, fornication,homosexualism), then ,it is a   MAJOR SIN IN ISLAM. STUDENT: hmmmm! I see clearly now. But sir, negative suggestions on my mind, are they LUST? TEACHER: Can you stop Mtn from sending you some irrelevant text or stop STV station from displaying evil programs or stop a bird from flying over your head? STUDENT: (laughs) that's impossible sir! TEACHER: But can you delete those mtn messages from your phone, change the TV stations or switch off the TV and Stop the bird from building nest on your head? STUDENT: Yes! Yes! Very sure sir. Nice illustration sir. TEACHER: As long as you are in the flesh carnal, filthy and unclean thought would come but just as you can delete those MTN messages and stop a bird from landing on your head, so you can RESIST  SHAYTAN AND THOSE THOUGHTS. Abdulrahman, lust simply means doing in your heart what you could've done with the person physically. LUST is not the negative suggestion, rather it is the DELIBERATE and CONCERTED MEDITATION of those NEGATIVE thoughts which bring PLEASURE and can make one move into fornication if one is not careful. PIETY is not the ABSENCE of EVIL thoughts or SEXUAL URGE, but it is a life that CHOOSES to RESIST those evil thoughts from gaining grounds within and to keep those lawful desires in check until the appropriate Time (Nikkah). STUDENT: Wow! Wow! Thanks very much Ustadhz for you have taken off some unnecessary burden off my neck and made me see more light about the teachings of Islam. TEACHER: You are welcome beloved. I deem it fit to frame today's write up in this manner so as to communicate promulgate an impression within my heart to YOUTHS especially Who don't understand TRUE PIETY ON SEXUAL PURITY. MAY ALLAH REWARD YOU READERS wish you all a beautiful weekend .......
