Qur'an has given much emphasis on acquiring knowledge. In the days of Prophet Mohammad (sm) Muslim men and women were never felt shyness to ask him questions including those relating to private affairs such as sexual life. But today we treat 'sex' as a dirty word. We feel uncomfortable in discussing sex education with our children. But we should remember that 'sex' is not al per se dirty word. It is an important matter of our life. Allah, who cares for all the aspects of our life, discusses it in the Qur'an; reproduction, creation, family life, menstruation and even ejaculation. On the other hand Prophet Muhammad (sm) who was sent to us as an example, discussed with his companions many subjects related to their sexual life including sexual positions. In Islam, sexuality is considered as a part of our identity as human beings. In this article we will try to discuss the Islamic concept of sexuality.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Simplified Arabic"">We will consider several issues: i. e.; what is sex?

There are many reasons, the most common being peer pressure. Their common response is "since everybody is doing it". Other reasons are: desire for sexual competence with adults and a way to get ahead, lack of self esteem which they want to acquire and improve by losing their virginity, lack of other alternatives to divert their sexual energies, lack of love and appreciation at home. Detachment from home can lead to attachment elsewhere. The sexual pressure on them is everywhere, at school from their peers, from the TV where many sexual scenes are broadcast in advertisement, soap operas, prime time shows etc. The hard core rock music nowadays fans the flames of sexual desires. Most of the parents do not know what kind of music their children are listening. If they care, and listen to hard rock songs, they will know that they are singing songs, some of which have pornographic words and sentences. Analyzing this situation we can say that sex education is very essential for the adolescents as well as for all kinds of people. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><b><span style="font-size:13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family:"Simplified Arabic""><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><b><span style="font-size:13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family:"Simplified Arabic"">Sex education world wide<o:p></o:p></span></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Simplified Arabic"">Many reasons have given a sense of urgency </span><span lang="EN" style="mso-bidi-font-family:"Simplified Arabic";mso-ansi-language:EN">to the topic of sex education.

The projected 1990 cost to the nation will be $2 Billion per year. Teachers are told to give the technical aspects of sex education without telling the students about moral values or how to make the right decisions. After describing the male and female anatomy, and reproduction, the main emphasis is on the prevention of venereal diseases and teenage pregnancy. With the rise of AIDS, the focus is on "Safe Sex". <span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span></span><span style="font-size:14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family:"Simplified Arabic""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Simplified Arabic"">The secular sex education devoid of morality promoted by educators is in many ways incompatible with the Islamic value system. The sex education in American schools has not helped decrease in the teenager the incidence of venereal diseases or teenage pregnancy. This is because secular sex education has not changed their sex habits. According to Marion Wright Elderman President of Children's Defence Fund in a recent report, "out of every 20 teens, 10 are sexually active but only 4 use contraception, 2 get pregnant and one gives birth. In 1982, John Hokin's study found one out of every five 15 year olds, and three 16 year olds to be sexually active. The incidence increased to 43% in 17 years old, 46% of 16 years old, and 29% of 15 years old were sexually active. Now it is estimated that about 80% girls entering college have had sexual intercourse at least once. Going to church does not help either. So the Islamic Sex Education is crucial to the fulfillment of a happy society, in Muslim societies.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Simplified Arabic"">Here we have to remember that before giving education about the anatomy and physiology, the belief in the Creator should be instilled in the minds of students. It is said "without God everything, is possible" meaning that the lack of belief or awareness of God gives an okay for wrong doing. So we need to introduce sex into the education of our youth according to the teachings of Holy Qur’an and Hadith. If the children can care for their Islamic character other issues will take care of themselves. Islamic sex education will encompass questions of morality as well as proper sexual health.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Simplified Arabic""><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><b><span style="font-size:13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family:"Simplified Arabic"">The Role of Muslim Parents<o:p></o:p></span></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Simplified Arabic"">Parents are responsible for instilling in their children the religious beliefs, the social, cultural and moral training of Islam as well as for their physical well being.

They are also to train them for avoidance of evil practices such as taking alcohol, drug abuse and sexual promiscuity. In Muslim societies parents are responsible for the sex education and moral guidance of their children in collaboration with public schools and mosque schools. In the mosques Imams are responsible to lead the children and others according to the way of the Qur’an. Regarding their responsibility Richard Boucher, Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs mentioned the role of Imams in tackling dowry, terrorism, drug addiction and HIV/AIDS in his discussion with Imams at the <st1:placename st="on">Imam</st1:placename> <st1:placename st="on">Training</st1:placename> <st1:placetype st="on">Academy</st1:placetype> in Uttara, <st1:place st="on">Dhaka</st1:place>, on <st1:date month="8" day="3" year="2006" st="on">3<sup>rd</sup> August, 2006</st1:date>.<a style="mso-endnote-id:edn25" href="file:///G:/All%20doc/All%20Article/Sex%20Education%20as%20an%20Important1%20Subject%20of%20Learnin1.doc#_edn25" name="_ednref25" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character:footnote"><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Simplified Arabic"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-fareast-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA">[25]</span></span></span></span></a> But it should not be left entirely to schools; it should start in the home at an early age with our parents educating us first, before the school system does. If sex education is left to peers and schools in the West, the information given will not be within Islamic principles. Any other physical forms of information that relate to marital relations should be left until the person seeks to get married. They should be well prepared for this and should not shy away from searching for appropriate Islamic information on this issue. Everyone should impart sex education appropriate to ones position in family or society and the need of the youngsters. But the parents as a whole have to assume a more responsible role- especially they have to help their children make the right decisions at every step of their life. But they do not or cannot discuss sex education with their children, because of the way they have been brought up. They leave Islamic Education of sexuality to the schools and the media. In Islam anything which leads to wrong is also wrong. Therefore parents should control the children from sexually exciting activities which may provoke the desire, like certain kind of music, TV programs, magazines, and dress.

Explaining anatomy and the changes one's body experiences during puberty are essential for enabling young people to grow up with a healthy self-image. Sex education can be taught in a way that informs young people about sexuality in scientific and moral terms. Nobody can deny the impact of environment upon adults and adolescents.

Within this context, the role of a healthy sexual relationship is extremely important. Islam recognizes the strong sexual urge and desire for reproduction. Thus Islam encourages marriage as a legal way of satisfy in sexual desire and as a shield from immorality (sex without commitment). The marriage of a man and woman is not just a financial and legal living arrangement, not even just for reproduction, but a total commitment to each other and a contract witnessed by Allah. Love and joy of companionship is a part of the commitment. A married couple assumes a new social status and responsibility for themselves and the children and for the community. The goal of marriage is to create tenderness between two individuals and to satisfy the very basic human need for companionship. There can be no better expression of the relationship between two human beings living together in blessed marital bondage.<a style="mso-endnote-id:edn27" href="file:///G:/All%20doc/All%20Article/Sex%20Education%20as%20an%20Important1%20Subject%20of%20Learnin1.doc#_edn27" name="_ednref27" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character:footnote"><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Simplified Arabic"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-fareast-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA">[27]</span></span></span></span></a> Such a relationship is so highly valued that Allah made it among His signs.

They can move wherever they like and perform all sorts of work, but within the parametres prescribed by Qur’an and Sunnah. According to the Islamic idea of discipline and decency the exposure of such parts of the body is not allowed as the Western ladies and models are generally in habit of exposing in ballrooms, theatres, cinema, dramas, advertisement, television programs, parties and sometimes in public places which is harmful and leads to sin. In modern civilization pornography is arousing sexual excitement so much so that even youngsters are becoming sex hungry and being prevented causing gang rape, disorder and even murder? Because of sex abuse breakdown of the family life, dissatisfaction and distrust among spouses are now warning in modern society. Islam has put a complete ban on all sorts of sex evils and cut at its roots imposing restrictions on the exposure of the parts of the body which generate the urge of sex and has ordained sever punishment in this world and hereafter for sex offenders. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="mso-bookmark:2"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family:"Simplified Arabic""><o:p> </o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="mso-bookmark:2"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family:"Simplified Arabic"">Allah has prescribed the <i>Hijab</i></span></span><a style="mso-endnote-id:edn50" href="file:///G:/All%20doc/All%20Article/Sex%20Education%20as%20an%20Important1%20Subject%20of%20Learnin1.doc#_edn50" name="_ednref50" title=""><span style="mso-bookmark:2"><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Simplified Arabic""><span style="mso-special-character:footnote"><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Simplified Arabic"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-fareast-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA">[50]</span></span></span></span></span></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark:2"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family:"Simplified Arabic""> system.

Without sexual activity, most species would die. Sexual activity is thus surrounded by troubling questions relating to birth, death, and basic social organization and human interaction.

Qur'an is the solution of sex abuse. It has put a complete ban on all sorts of sex evils and cut at its root by imposing restrictions. In the Qur'an sex has always been taken seriously. It is not a subject for fun or mere absolute pleasure. It is never discussed obscenely. It is always related to marital life and family life. It is viewed as a human relationship subject to strict regulations. Thus sex within a marital relationship is a worship that is rewarded. Outside a marital relationship sex is a punishable sin and crime. Legislation concerning sex is not subject to change by pressure groups or change in social attitudes. So like the rest of Islamic teachings, knowledge about sex is very much important for us. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="AR-SA" dir="RTL" style="font-family:"Simplified Arabic""><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><a name="See_also"></a><a name="References"></a><b><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-family:"Simplified Arabic"">References:<o:p></o:p></span></b></p> <div style="mso-element:endnote-list"><br /> <hr align="left" size="1" width="33%"> <div style="mso-element:endnote" id="edn1"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:9.0pt;text-align:justify;text-indent: -9.0pt"><a style="mso-endnote-id:edn1" href="file:///G:/All%20doc/All%20Article/Sex%20Education%20as%20an%20Important1%20Subject%20of%20Learnin1.doc#_ednref1" name="_edn1" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-family: "Simplified Arabic""><span style="mso-special-character:footnote"><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";
