Tariq Luqman

Tariq Luqman
I think Pakistan population is 160 millions, certainly not grown out of soil like trees or fall from sky. This large population is because of sexual activities. So, sex is very important aspect of human activity there fore important to study it and explores its strengths and weaknesses.

وَمَن لَّمْ يَسْتَطِعْ مِنكُمْ طَوْلًا أَن يَنكِحَ الْمُحْصَنَاتِ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ فَمِن مَّا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُكُم مِّن فَتَيَاتِكُمُ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ ۚ وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِإِيمَانِكُم ۚ بَعْضُكُم مِّن بَعْضٍ ۚ فَانكِحُوهُنَّ بِإِذْنِ أَهْلِهِنَّ وَآتُوهُنَّ أُجُورَهُنَّ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ مُحْصَنَاتٍ غَيْرَ مُسَافِحَاتٍ وَلَا مُتَّخِذَاتِ أَخْدَانٍ ۚ فَإِذَا أُحْصِنَّ فَإِنْ أَتَيْنَ بِفَاحِشَةٍ فَعَلَيْهِنَّ نِصْفُ مَا عَلَى الْمُحْصَنَاتِ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ لِمَنْ خَشِيَ الْعَنَتَ مِنكُمْ ۚ وَأَن تَصْبِرُوا خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ ۗ وَاللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ

(25) If any of you have not the means wherewith to wed free believing women, they may wed believing girls from among those whom your right hands possess: And Allah hath full knowledge about your faith. Ye are one from another: Wed them with the leave of their owners, and give them their dowers, according to what is reasonable: They should be chaste, not lustful, nor taking paramours: when they are taken in wedlock, if they fall into shame, their punishment is half that for free women. This (permission) is for those among you who fear sin; but it is better for you that ye practise self-restraint. And Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.

One can read the translation by One Umma Network. It translate "free believing women, they may wed believing girls from among those whom your right hands possess:". One can see a 100 degree misleading translation just to satisfy their conservative urges instead of to present the Qur'an as it is. What is to wed with "free believing women" and then "they may wed believing girls". It is purely for sexual activities. To wed and to have sex with slave girl is two different things. To have sex with slave girl doesn't elevate her to the position of wife. No. She would remain slave.

The controversy arised during the time of Haz.Umar on the same verse. Because one female companion of the Prophet interpreted "what your right hand possess", that a man can have sex with his slave girl as well as women can have sex with his slave man. Hazrat Umar put the case before a committee and committee comprising of all men gave their decision against women, that man can have sex with slave girls, women don't. The historical fact that in pre-Islamic traditions, women was not having this right but the men. When Islam came, Prophet gave equal right to both sexes, till the time of Hazrat Umar. The point is well established that during the 14 hundred years of history people distorted Qur'an and Sunna.

So, Tariq Luqman sab Qur'an discuss sex and there is proper verse about sex "your women's are like your field, which ever way you want to enter. This verse came against Jews conservative thinking and norms. In Pakistan, there are very few Jews.
