They shame men for our sexual desires but was the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) any different? 1 upvotes | April 18, 2020 | by Beyondthet ------------------------- Jabir reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saw a (attractive) woman, and so he went to his wife, Zainab (may Allah be pleased with her,) as she was tanning a leather and had sexual intercourse with her. He then went to his Companions and told them: THE WOMAN ADVANCES AND RETIRES IN THE SHAPE OF A DEVIL, SO WHEN ONE OF YOU SEES A (ATTRACTIVE) WOMAN, HE SHOULD COME TO HIS WIFE (FOR SEXUAL INTERCOURSE), FOR THAT WILL REPEL WHAT HE FEELS IN HIS HEART. [Sahih Muslim 1403] How many times do they say men should learn to control themselves more and that we are creeps for simply just wanting sex? What they don't realise is that this is a biological need for men. Even the Prophet pbuh as a man was not immune to these sexual urges. Instead of women demonising men for our sexual desires, they should understand us and understand that it is their Islamic obligations as wives to answer her husband's call to intimacy when he asks. Zainab bint Jahsh (may Allah be pleased with her) used to tan leather and give what she made in charity. She loved to give charity and when the Prophet pbuh approached her to request sexual intimacy she stopped whatever she was doing and responded to his need. This meaning can be found in other hadith of the Prophet pbuh too, IF HE ASKS HER (FOR INTIMACY) EVEN IF SHE IS ON HER CAMEL SADDLE, SHE SHOULD NOT REFUSE.” [Ibn Maajah, and was classed as saheeh by al-Albaani] Islam recognises that it is haram for women to deny sex to their husbands without any legitimate excuse (illness or menses) whereas, modern day feminism believes that women should treat sex as a treat or a reward or to manipulate men. ------------------------- Archived from https://theredarchive.com/post/357870
