•══༻ 🤲🤲Q. Is Anal Sex allowed in Islam?

NO. Anal sex is not only disallowed in Islam, it is indeed considered one of the most reprehensible acts in Islam. This is not a simple case of being Makruh but there are very clear instructions against it. For example, in one hadith Prophet Muhammad (saw) has mentioned that one who has anal sex with his spouse has disbelieved in what was revealed to Muhammad. The Prophet (saws) said: If anyone resorts to a diviner and believes in what he says or has intercourse with his wife when she is menstruating or has intercourse with his wife through her anus: he has nothing to do with what has been sent down to Muhammad (saws) (Abu Dawood : 3895). Now these are very harsh words, basically this is saying that one who has engaged in anal sex has done kufr! Similarly, in another hadith, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah will not look at a man who has anal sex with his wife (At-Tirmidhi : 1165). Again, this doesn’t need any explanation that if Allah will not look at someone on that tough day of judgement the length of which could be more than a thousand years, what would be the fate of that unfortunate person! May Allah safeguard us all, Ameen.

There is something that needs to be addressed at this point which unfortunately causes confusion in the minds of some young people. Now whether this confusion is the deliberately spread by few who have deviated from the right path or whether it is really misunderstanding on some people’s part, only Allah knows best. The ayah below is misquoted as a case for permission of anal sex:

Your wives are a place of sowing of seed for you, so approach your place of cultivation however you wish (Quran – 2:223)

Now some people take this ayah in its literal form and try to argue that both vaginal, as well as anal sex, are being made permissible by this ayah. However, this is a grave mistake since the context in which this ayah was revealed is the source of understanding its true meaning. Before the Hijrah of Prophet Muhammad (saw) to Madinah, the tribes in Madinah used to hold Jews of Madinah in high esteem as they were the only people of Book amongst them. Despite the fact that many tribes were not Jewish however their customs and traditions had borrowed a lot from Jewish traditions and customs. One very interesting example is the sex position that was considered permissible amongst Jews was what is commonly today known as missionary position. Basically, this means women lies on her back while the man mounts her from top. Interestingly this is considered the best position for sex by today’s medical standards when you are trying to actually conceive. So, because of the influence of Jews, most of Ansar men/women in Madinah would only establish marital relations in missionary position as other sex positions had negative notations attached to them. There was a prevalent belief that if you had sex from behind (again this still means Vaginal intercourse but behind means the position of husband behind his wife), the offspring born would be cross-eyed! However, things took an interesting turn when Muhajireen of Makkah married women of Ansar. It is believed that men/women of Makkah didn’t have such hang-ups about mating positions. So, when a particular Sahaba (ra) tried to approach his wife from behind and not in the customary position of missionary position, that woman refused to comply. The woman said that I will not allow you to do it until Prophet of Allah (saw) has cleared the situation. She went to Umm Salamah and told her the story. Umm Salamah (ra) said, “Wait until Allah’s Messenger comes”. When Allah’s Messenger came, the Ansari woman was shy to ask him about this matter, so she left. Umm Salamah told Allah’s Messenger the story and he said: “Summon the Ansari woman”. She was summoned and he Muhammad (saw) recited the above quoted Ayah to her!

If there is any doubt still remaining in the minds of our readers, this should inshaAllah further clear it up with regards to the banning of Anal Sex in Islam. “Allah is not ashamed of the Truth! Do not have intercourse with women through the anus.” (Al-Tirmidhi : 3192)

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will ...

One of the question asked is can a Christian enter Jannah today?

 One of the question asked is can a Christian enter Jannah today? Alhamdulillah, it is clear from Quran and hadiths that any christian who dies believing Jesus is God or son of God and do not believe in prophet Muhammad Peace be Upon Him will enter hellfire. Allah says, Al-Ma'idah 5:17 They have certainly disbelieved who say that Allāh is Christ, the son of Mary. Say, "Then who could prevent Allāh at all if He had intended to destroy Christ, the son of Mary, or his mother or everyone on the earth?" And to Allāh belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them. He creates what He wills, and Allāh is over all things competent. Allah says, Al-Ma'idah 5:72 لَقَدۡ كَفَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَۖ وَقَالَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ يَٰبَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ رَبِّي وَرَبَّكُمۡۖ إِنَّهُۥ مَن يُشۡرِكۡ بِٱللَّهِ فَقَدۡ حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ وَمَأۡوَىٰهُ ٱلنَّارُۖ وَمَا لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ مِنۡ أَنصَ...

Friday and it's dignity.

 Friday and it's dignity. Alhamdulillah, Allah says, Al-Jumu'ah 62:9 يَآأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلَوٰةِ مِن يَوۡمِ ٱلۡجُمُعَةِ فَٱسۡعَوۡاْ إِلَىٰ ذِكۡرِ ٱللَّهِ وَذَرُواْ ٱلۡبَيۡعَۚ ذَٰلِكُمۡ خَيۡرࣱ لَّكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ O you who have believed, when [the adhān] is called for the prayer on the day of Jumuʿah [Friday], then proceed to the remembrance of Allāh and leave trade. That is better for you, if you only knew. Friday is the best day of the week because it was the day Adam was created, the day he entered paradise and the day he was removed from paradise. it was also the day he died and the hour(qiyaamah) will not come except on this day. Sahih. It was narrated from Aws bin Aws that: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Whoever washes (ghassala) and performs ghusl, comes early to the masjid and sits near the imam and does not engage in idle talk, he will have for every step he takes (the reward of) a year's worth of good deeds, fasting it and...
