Sexual Discipline in Islam

Sex is nature's way of ensuring the survival and propagation of species through reproduction. But it does have a huge element of pleasure to it, especially when it comes to human beings. This balance between function and pleasure has been the subject of discussion and debate all along the history of human civilization. When it comes to sexual expression, there are three major ideologies that are most prevalent: 1. Monasticism  2. Islam 3. Hedonism  1. Monasticism : This idea holds the view that sexual life is inherently incompatible with piety.

Role of Civil Society in Maintaining Peace and Harmony C ivil Society, as per the World Bank, refers to ‘non-governmental and not-for-profit organizations that have a presence in public life, expressing the interests and values of their members or others, based on ethical, cultural, political, scientific, religious or philanthropic considerations.

In other words, civil society acts as a link between the Government and the masses and complements the Government in serving the citizens. It remains outside the purview of the Government but has to abide by the law of the land, and work within the framework of the country’s constitution. In a parliamentary form of democracy, we have the ruling party/coalition and...
