I propose that male-female dialogue is even more
essential to a nation’s success than that of inter-faith
discourse. I also propose that the chauvinist accord in
Islamic jurisprudence essentially caused the decline of
Islam because without the equal treatment of feminine wisdom
and intuition in the affairs of marriage and community, civic unity imbued
with the grace of true piety cannot be maintained well enough to establish
the regency of truth and justice.

... Stereotypes need to be abandoned and replaced by the reality orientation
of scientific knowledge in conjunction with Fiqh Jurisprudence of the
highest caliber.

... As heterosexuals comprise the overwhelming majority (90%) of human’s
committing sexual immorality, there is little merit in an extremist
perspective being adopted towards deviant sexuality during any review of
public policies related to the conundrum of deviant sexual orientations.

... The Basic Needs and Responsibilities of the Virtuous Spouse are seven in
number... but how does one qualify for the blessings of that holy moment
when the covenant is consummated... and what is the authentic nature of
the covenant of marriage?

One cannot truly be a Muslim until he/she desires for their neighbor what
they desire for themselves ― and in marriage, your spouse is your nearest
neighbor.

Marriage has become a kind of 'trench warfare' with spouses dug-in on either
side of the gender-line. In-between lies ignorance of the “other” as a kind of
no-man's land where insults are traded and frequent devastating assaults are
launched. What has happened to the estate of marriage that it has become
such a cause of despair for so many these days? If marriage is half the deen of
Islam’s revealed requirements and instructions for salvation – i.e., if it is the
venue in which Muslims are commanded to implement the comprehensive
system of religion as perfected by the prophet – then marriage is a holy
institution and should be treated as such. Why then is it profaned by so
many? Within this little book are the answers

Unfortunately today, both the roles of men and women
are tragically misunderstood. Even more tragic is the
fact that they are misunderstood in obscene favor of the
men. The illegitimate consequences of this
misunderstanding are many.
Shaykh Seraj Hendricks (Wash. D.C., 1998)

For those who scratch their heads
and sigh
then sit and wonder “why”

Introduction & Overview
In the Name of Allah (God), the Most Compassionate and the Most Merciful.
All praises belong to Allah alone, the Lord of all the universes. And may the
blessings and peace of Allah be upon His messenger Muhammad and on all
of his family, descendents and followers.

Following a devastating divorce in 1990 I came across a little booklet
distributed anonymously entitled The Seven Basic Needs of Your Spouse. After
reading it I was shattered by my ignorance and angered at the failure of the
many educators who permitted such brainlessness to prosper (I was raised
Catholic). I resolved to put those principles into practice which then began
two decades of pensive contemplations on the institution of marriage. When
I became a Muslim fifteen years later, the transcendent experience crowned
my growing bank of scholarship and experience with remarkable clarity of
vision. Now I was a man on a mission that carried me through middle age
and into early grizzlement as a polygamist with two wives living under the
same roof in peace. Life does indeed begin at forty, and at sixty I can honestly
say this is the best chapter so far. I have ferreted out from these years of
research, connubial failures and recent success, several observations and
conclusions I now share with the reader from a new-found academic perch.
But on a more serious note, and as most cognitive adepts of the present ‘Age
of Harm’ will agree, marriage, civilization as we know it, and genuine
monotheism are under significant assaults by sinister forces I have also
studied at great length and published elsewhere.1 I therefore pray that this
volume will serve to counter the impunity of this libertarian prosecution on
both sides of the pond and hopefully ameliorate some of the mischief and
mayhem they and their Levantine masters have caused mankind.
I begin with a chapter on the basic needs of each spouse. These are
archetypal constructs intrinsically demonstrated by each gender as naturally
normative by divine design. Such ancient wisdom will be scoffed at by
modern humanists but such mockery is inevitable and even prophetic
because our educational systems suffer a profound absence of gestalt
discernment in light of materialism’s boastful ascent. Hence, the wisdom

required for successful marriage is officially untaught, especially in Muslim
venues, and will remain so unless I and others write these books. Therefore,
and as a Medical Doctor, my priority is to provide a remedy for this endemic
heart disease, hoping the reader will be sufficiently encouraged by the first
chapter to seek the greater medicine that follows.
The Islamic perspective and religious instruction guide men and women
towards the peaceful acknowledgement-of and reconciliation-with their
Creator, His creation, and all living creatures except those who hate or deny
God. Those who follow Islam’s precepts become the “Peacemakers” whom
Prophet Isa spoke of on the mount of beatitudes.2 Nevertheless, Islam is far
more than a religion. It is, in the final analysis, the perfected socially oriented
discipline of conformity to truth whereby men and women are charged to
constantly adjust their thoughts and activities towards the goal of
maintaining these peaceful relations in consummate harmony with nature
according to knowledge, or to war, according to the same knowledge, when
injustice inevitably threatens this peace. As such, Islam encompasses all
science and never deviates from acknowledging Allah swt as creation’s Source
rather than Being, and His prophets and angels as messengers of the divine
revelation.
With respect to human sexuality and reproduction, Islam regards relations
between men and women as holy, a word that means ‘reserved for God’.3
Therefore, sincere and informed Muslims take exceptional care to guard this
estate according to divine revelation and the examples of the prophets.
Human reproduction is a repetitive miracle for the Muslim, as are all
recapitulations of this ontology within the animal kingdoms. At the same
time however, it is both a phenomenon of great mystery and commonality.
The latter fact causes many to take it for granted and even abuse it in
manners that are repugnant to anyone who has retained common sense.
Therefore, and bearing these thoughts in mind, the purpose of this little book
is to remind, encourage, inform and exhort readers to understand why they

2 ‘Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.’ (Matt. 5:9). The translators
have overlooked the contextual allegorical implication of the phrase ‘sons of God’, for what it
meant according to traditionl Judaic theology is “servants of God” or sons of consolation, or
even True Pharisees. Therefore, ‘Peacemakers’ are those who make peace with their Maker.

must knowledgeably forbid evil and enjoin what is good with regard for the
awesome events and sexuality that brought each of us into this world. May it
so please Allah to grant us this success.
In the second part of the book, and before reviewing recent discoveries that
shed light on human sexuality and its various expressions, I’ve endeavored to
set forth principles that will help the reader assess these disturbing facts with
what I pray is greater clarity and wisdom. The concepts of normality, natural,
supernatural, supra-natural, miracle, limits (boundaries), life-energy
(formative forces), manifest extremes, morality and ignorance are discussed
in relation to Islam’s revelation of creation and deviations from divinely pre-
determined principles and patterns, as well as man’s perception and
acceptance of ‘normality’.
After the establishment of these definitions, I introduce scientific
developments in the fields of genetics, anatomy, neurology, physiology and
psychosocial conduct that inextricably combine to establish human sexuality
as an expression of a core identity that is bound to sentience and behavior
which often exceeds the orthodox limits of propriety. This recently acquired
knowledge gives cause to revisit human sexuality anew and raises many
questions that require cogent reassessment before reaching moral and ethical
conclusions. Chapters then follow dealing with human development,
sexuality, sex education and marriage with a focus on the ‘sense of touch’ and
its direct relationship to Iman or Faith, Disbelief and Hypocrisy
As you proceed, I entreat your mercy and kindness for my shortcomings, as
did Bro. Ibn Khaldun:
I confess my inability to penetrate so difficult a subject. I wish that men of scholarly
competence and wide knowledge would look at the book with a critical, rather than
a complacent eye, and silently correct and overlook the mistakes they come upon.
The capital of knowledge that an individual scholar has to offer is small. Admission
(of one's shortcomings) saves from censure. Kindness from colleagues is hoped for.4

Most Sincerely, Omar Zaid, M.D.
