For a successful existence on
earth, all human beings are in dire need of guidance
for every action and movement of their lives. A
brief study of all the "isms" and religions of the
world will reveal that Islam is the only system of
life that has provided guidance for even the very
basic and mundane actions of man's life on earth;
guidance that other systems and religions have not
even given the slightest thought.
Take for example the simple act
of relieving oneself. Other systems and religions,
especially Western culture and 'civilization' are
silent, almost dumb on this basic aspect of human
life. The outcome of leaving their followers
ignorant or even misguided regarding such a simple
matter as relieving oneself, has resulted in many
health hazards for those poor people because they
are constantly violating the basic rules of hygiene.
When Islam has provided complete guidance for man in
such a basic matter, then to a far greater extent it
has provided guidance in all other areas of
life.Another beautiful aspect of Islam's guidance,
which is glaringly absent in other systems, is its
totally balanced approach. All forms of extremes and
excesses are avoided and shunned. This is all due
tothe fact that Islam is not the product of human
endeavour but is a divinely ordained way of life.
There are some areas where the
other systems have just begun to recognize the need
for providing guidance and education for their
followers, which Islam had done centuries before.
One such area is "sex education". The West, having
just emerged from the darkness of the middle ages,
has suddenly realized the importance of sex
"education". Yet this is something which was part
and parcel of Islamic teachings since its inception
fourteen hundred years ago. It should however be
borne in mind that Islamic sex education is poles
apart from the Western concept of sex 'education',
which could rather be termed as sex 'corruption'.
There is a vast difference between the crude
attitude of the West to this subject in comparison
with Islam's refined approach. The west has
thoroughly degraded the real (Islamic) concept of
sex education by adulterating this important branch
of learning, with it's depraved values and outlook
on sex.
The West has committed great
excesses in its approach and attitude towards sex
and sex education. Instead of benefiting its
followers and guiding them correctly, the West has
created more complications for its followers and
corrupted their values. The West, through its
depraved outlook on sex, is responsible for untold
human suffering and misery. The consequences of
'free', uninhibited sexual indulgence that the West
so brazenly promotes, is terrible; The
ever-increasing spiral in the incidence of AIDS and
HIV-infection can be directly attributed to the
West's liberal attitude towards sexual indulgence.
AIDS ought to have forced a change in their outlook
on sexual "freedom". It has not, in fact, the West
unashamedly continues in its promotion of corrupt
sexual values under the guise of so-called "safe
sex". (A leopard apparently doesn't change its
spots).
"SEX EDUCATION" -
AN EFFECTIVE TOOL OF THE WEST FOR THE PROMOTION OF
DEBASED SEXUAL VALUES:
The West is making a vigorous
effort to promote their libertine culture and values
upon the nations of the world. To this end, they are
employing all the resources available at their
disposal. One such powerful medium is education, via
the Western, secular educational system. In order to
promote it's liberal culture on sex, the West
introduced the concept of sex "education"
(Corruption) as an important element of the
educational curriculum. Through this, it hopes to
imbue the coming generations with its corrupt values
on sex from a very tender age. Corrupt and perverted
values on sex are being foisted onto the minds of
the unwary victims in the name of sex "education".
Young, impressionable minds are being slowly
corrupted with debased Western sexual values at
secular institutions under the guise of "education".
Tangible examples of such degenerate sexual values
is encouragement towards sexual "experimentation" in
the form of masturbation, dating, viewing
pornographic material, premarital sex, depraved
sexual acts and practices and casting aside modesty
and natural inhibitions. These are the anti-thesis
of all that which Islam stands for. The danger this
poses to the Muslims, especially the Muslim youth,
is indescribable, as it shakes the very foundations
of their faith, their morality and their value
systems. Yet many parents and concerned citizens of
society are blissfully unaware of the magnitude of
the problem. If this trend continues unchecked, the
tidal wave of depravity will certainly destroy the
morality of the Islamic society. Every member of
society has to play a meaningful role in stanching
this rot and decay that is sure to devastate our
present and coming generations.
May Allah protect one and all
from this avalanche of pollution. Aameen.
