Soulful Sexual Health for Muslims
A Developmental Approach for Individuals and Clinicians
About this book
This transformative book offers a holistic approach to sexual health for Muslims, rooted in Islamic traditions of the soul. By addressing sexual health as an integrative journey connecting physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions, it reframes this aspect of life as a sacred practice aligned with the soul's connection to God.
Introducing the Soulful Sexual Health Model as a framework for navigating sexual health challenges throughout the developmental journey of the soul, Sameera Qureshi integrates Islamic values of compassion, self-accountability, and spiritual alignment into holistic frameworks for sexual health education and support. Chapters explore foundational topics such as anatomy and puberty, empowered abstinence, marital intimacy, and parenting approaches to sexual health. Special sections address challenges like sexual trauma, infertility, and sexual dysfunction, offering practical and faith-centered strategies for healing and growth. This book also provides tailored guidance for professionals supporting Muslims, emphasizing the importance of integrating faith-based frameworks into their practice. Through reflective questions, personal narratives, and practical activities, readers are equipped to embrace sexual health as an essential and sacred part of their journey with God.
Intended for Muslims seeking a holistic understanding of sexual health, as well as educators, therapists, imams, and other professionals who serve Muslim communities, this book bridges the gap between contemporary sexual health needs and Islamic faith-based approaches. It is an invaluable resource for those committed to fostering healing, growth, and spiritual connection in their personal lives and professional work.
