SEXUAL DEVIATION AND YOUTHS

SEXUAL DEVIATION
Islam has forbidden all sorts of sexual deviation since they cause collapse of the general health and lead to serious diseases.

Fornication: 
 Islam has forbidden fornication regarded it as the worst of the forbidden acts. God says: 
And do not go nigh to fornication. Surely, it is an indecency and evil is the way. 
 Moreover, God considers fornication as polytheism and murder. He says: 
And they who do not call upon another god but Allah and do not slay the soul, which Allah has forbidden except 
in the requirements of justice, and who do not commit fornication. And he who does this shall find a requital of 
sin. The punishment shall be doubled to him on the day of resurrection. And he shall abide therein in abasement.

Damages of fornication: 
Health failure and ruination of the principals of life are the most horrible damages and serious dangers of fornication.

Syphilitic diseases: 
Fornication is the main cause of the syphilitic diseases. They affect the nervous, respiratory, lymphatic, digestive, and genital tracts of the human body. They also affect the bones, knuckles, the ductile and ductless glands, skin, eye, and ear so gravely that death is its only cure. The sufferings of misfortunes and the pains of such diseases are terribly intolerable. Detailed exposition can be read in the books of medicine..

Gonorrhea: 
Gonorrhea is one of the fatal diseases that affect the urinal ducts. It causes blindness to the fornicators’ newborns. Many other disadvantages of fornication are exposed in details in the books of medicine.

Syphilis: 
Syphilis is the worst disease. It is called the ape of diseases. It affects any organ or tissue. In the first phase, a hard ulcer emerges in the body. In the second, red spots affect the organs totally. In the third, the main system of the body is affected. If the brain is affected, mental defects, such as insanity, may occur. If the medulla is affected, paralysis may occur. If the heart and the blood vessels are affected, heart troubles may occur.. If it affects the pregnant women, it directly influences the fetuses that may be affected by inherent deformities. In some cases, the fetuses may be dead..

Chancroid: 
Chancroid is a soft red cureless chancre that has a negative effect on the human body. Detailed exposition of this disease can be seen in the books of medicine. 
We have proven some of the lethal diseases that affect the perpetrators of fornication. This crime, however, results in barrenness, dishonor, destruction of the family’s entity, and other social damages.

The strict punishment: 
Islam has decreed the harshest punishment for the perpetrators of this crime. Married fornicators should undergo stoning. Some jurists rule that the married fornicators should be whipped and stoned. This rule applies to both Muslim and non-Muslim male and female. The bachelor fornicators should be sentenced to one hundred lashes. God says: 
As for the fornicatress and the fornicator, flog each of them giving a hundred stripes. And let not pity for them 
detain you in the matter of obedience to Allah, if you believe in Allah and the last day. And let a party of believers 
witness their chastisement. 
Some jurists have issued that a group of people should witness the application of the whipping so that they would take example and stay away from this act. This firm procedure eradicates the social corruption and poses dams and barriers before everyone that intends to perpetrate this crime. The French legislation in this regard is the weakest. It considers fornication as a crime only when perpetrated by the husband if it is committed in the wives’ home. Anyhow, the punishment is no more than a fine of a few Franks. Wives that commit adultery are sentenced to detention. Actually, such punishments do not eradicate the crime of fornication that ravages many souls.

SODOMY
Sodomy is unquestionably the worst moral crime and the most terrible category of irregularity and deviation. Syphilitic diseases that destroy the health and life will eventually affect the sodomite. Likewise, many social dangers, including the reduction of matrimonial rates, stem from this phenomenon that creates a harsh decrease in the birth rate. Islam has constituted strict punishments for this crime. Perpetrators of sodomy should be sentenced to one of the following punishments: 
- Killing by sword 
- Burning 
- Building a wall around them 
- Throwing from a high place 
The sodomised individuals should be sentenced to death penalty if they are adults, sane, and discerning. If the sodomised or the sodomites are children, they should undergo the punishment of chastisement.. This strict ruling is constituted for eradicating this crime and warning people against it. Formerly, the crime of sodomy was lawfully banned in Britain, but it was legislated due to the importunate persistence of the Parliament there. Actually, the British government has led the people to great calamity since this crime destroys the family and the social life.

MASTURBATION
Islam has banned masturbation for being the vilest means of pleasing the sexual lust. Masturbators are afflicted by mental defects in addition to innate frailty and depression.

Protective methods: 
- Early marriage eradicates all types of sexual irregularity, most of which are originated from bachelorhood. The Prophet (s) said, “Marriage saves two thirds of the religion. You should fear God in the other third.” “The vilest of the dead are the bachelors.” “Bachelors form the majority of people of the hell-fire.”. Marriage guards against committing such vices and protect from falling in the depths of immorality. 
- Sexual cultivation and exposing the disadvantages may help in getting rid of this disgusting habit. 
- Removal of sexy movies and the other lusty media, such as sexy magazines and books, guards against this ill manner. 
- The practice of sports and artistic exercises, and reading useful and disciplinary books, are methods that protect against masturbating. 
- The implementation of definite activities, such as general cleanness, leaving the bed as soon as possible, and the engagement in useful matters, protects against the habit of masturbation..

PROHIBITION OF COPULATING WITH THE MENSTRUOUS
Islam has forbidden copulating with the menstruous for avoiding many diseases. God says: 
And they ask you about menstruation. Say: It is a pollution; therefore, keep aloof from the women during the 
menstrual discharge and do not go near them until they have become clean. 
Modern clinical studies have proven that copulation with the menstruous injures the health of the spouses. This is because the blood of menstruation contains various microbes and germs that cause inflammation. The women’s internal membranes congest during the menstruation. Any copulation may rupture these membranes and cause the infection of the microbes to spread to other places, effecting women’s health. In many cases, such copulation may cause nervous disorders..

Restraining Sexual Desires

One must restrain his sexual desires. This does not, however, mean to eliminate this Divine endowment which God Almighty placed in the essence of humanity; such an act would result in the \\[eventual] extermination of the human race and deprivation from the most delightful worldly pleasure.

Thus, one must delegate the leadership over the self to the intellect, and strengthen his will so that the intellect is able to control the sexual desire and place it on the correct path.

My teacher once told me:

I used to know a young man who occupied himself for a while with purifying his self. One day he told me: I succeeded in restraining myself and in refraining from carnal/animalistic tendencies. However, I failed in restraining my sexual desire, which thus led me to disobey and neglect God.

I told him: Do you know why you failed in this matter?

He replied: No. I came to you seeking assistance.

I told him: Your failure is rooted in your incorrect perception of this desire. You perceive it as an animalistic/carnal desire that one must completely eliminate. You must know, \\[however], that the stronger this desire is within the person, the more he is intact and healthy. It is similar to vision, smell, taste, and all other \\[senses]. The stronger they are \\[in the person], the more healthy and upright his body is.

Moreover, our religion did not command us to battle sexual desires and eliminate them. Similar to the fact that we must control our vision and not look at that which is forbidden and prevent our ears from listening to that which is forbidden, we must also control our sexual desires so that they do not make us fall into that which is forbidden.

Hence, if someone's vision falls upon that which is forbidden, such as looking at women who are not lawful to him, must he obliterate his vision? Likewise, if sexual desires cause one to fall into that which is forbidden, he must not eliminate it. Rather, he must restrain its recalcitrance and control it.

Just as an individual thanks the Exalted God for granting him the blessing of vivid vision, he must also thank God Almighty for granting him \\[sexual] desires. What is required of him is that he not allow it to drag him into that which is forbidden.

You are mistaken if you want to eliminate your sexual desires. Do not say, "I want to eliminate it." Rather, say, "I want to discipline it so that my self be under the leadership of my intellect; that my desire be free- so long that it is driven within the boundaries of that which is lawful, and I will not remonstrate it unless it transgresses the lawful boundaries."

The young man then said: Now I realize the mistake of eliminating \\[sexual] desires. The Messenger of God \\[p] said, "Marriage is my practice, so whoever rejects my practice is not from me." \\[Biḥār al-Anwār, p. 220, no. 23].

I told him: Many are the narrations and ḥadīth's that emphasize and make marriage desirable. If you were to collect them, they would amount to a \\[whole] independent book. How greatis the \\[number of] narrations that averse celibacy and abstention from mutual marital life to a degree that he who denies it is considered to be denying a necessary practice of religion.

The path of success for disciplining the self is to make it subordinate to reason and intellect. It is sufficient to restrain it from \\[committing] that which is forbidden, so that one does not fall into it, and for this reason the Exalted God says when describing the characteristics of the believers:

"those who guard their private parts * except from their spouses or their slave women, for then they are not blameworthy" \\[23:5-6]

I \\[once] had a student whom was a devoted worshiper but was unable to restrain his sexual desires. Though he was married, he would fall into committing forbidden acts. Thus, little by little, he began to consider this \\[act of] disobedience an easy matter which he became careless in \\[performing]. Later on, he began contemplating over what has been related in the \\[transmitted] texts regarding this \\[sin]. \\[This was] a wake up call \\[for him], and thus, by the grace of God, he began to abhor committing forbidden acts.

Imam al-Baqir \\[p] says, 'God is not worshipped with anything better than restraint of the stomach and private parts.'

He \\[p] also said, 'The best worship is restraint of the stomach and private parts.'

Our Master Muhammad \\[p], 'I fear three \\[things] over my nation after my depart: (1) Ignorance after acknowledgement; (2) Misguiding trials; (3) the desire of the stomach and private parts.'

Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, 'Restrain yourselves from other people' s women and your own women will remain chaste.' \\[al-Khisal, p. 55, no. 75]

Anas related that the prophet \\[p] \\[once] said while he was with his companions, 'Whosoever guarantees me two, I will guarantee him heaven.' \\[To which] Abu Hurayra replied, 'May my mother and father's lives be your ransome, I will guarantee you them, what are they?'

The prophet replied, 'Whosoever guarantees me (i.e. safeguards) what is between his cheeks (his tongue) and between his legs, I will guarantee him heaven.'—http://www.shafaqna.com/english/marjeiats/item/6335-restraining-sexual-desires.html
