Sex education between the Islamic and Western model

In response to the secularists on the subject of sex education: sex education between the Islamic and Western model: moral and civilizational superiority Written by Dr. Mohamed Bourbab Comparison between Islamic Sexuality Education and the Western Model +++++++++++ Sex education in Islam differs radically from modern Western models in several fundamental aspects, both in source, goals, curriculum, and outcomes. Here is a detailed comparison between them: 1. Source and Intellectual Basis Islamic sex education compared to Western sex education (secular): Islamic sexuality education derives its principles from the Qur'an, Sunnah and Islamic jurisprudence. Western sex education is based on materialistic philosophies (liberalism, individualism, and moral relativism). Islamic sex education is based on the legal constants (halal and haram). Western sex education is based on moral relativism (no halal or haram). Islamic sex education links gender with religious values (shame, piety, responsibility). Western sex education separates sex from religion and considers it merely a biological or recreational need. 2. The purpose of sex education Islamic sex education regulates the instinct within the framework of legal marriage. Western sex education aims to satisfy desire in any way (as long as there is “satisfaction” between the two parties). Islamic sex education aims to achieve chastity and psychological purity. Western sex education aims to achieve individual pleasure without moral constraints. Islamic sex education aims to protect society from deviations (such as adultery, homosexuality, pornography). Western sex education with homosexuality and free relationships is printed under the slogan "Sex Rights". 3. Content and Curriculum Islamic sexuality education begins with the inculcation of values (shame, chastity, respect for the body). Western sex education focuses on biological information without linking it to moral values. Islamic sexual education teaches the limits of God (keeping the vulva, turning a blind eye, forbidding adultery). Western sex education promotes sexual experience (even for teenagers) under the label "sexual health". Islamic sex education uses respectful terms and avoids sensationalism. Western sex education uses very explicit terms that may provoke early curiosity. Islamic sex education warns against pornography and harassment. Porn is considered a personal freedom or even an “educational medium”! 4. Her position on marriage and illicit relationships Islamic sex education considers marriage to be the only framework for sexual relations. Western sex education considers sexual relations permissible before marriage, outside it, and even with the same sex. Islamic sex education ensures family stability and links sex to responsibility. Promotes casual relationships (Friends with Benefits). Islamic sex education prohibits homosexuality and considers it deviant. Supports and promotes same-sex marriage under the slogan "sexual rights". 5. Community Outcomes "The World Health Organization (WHO) statistics indicate high rates of sexually transmitted diseases in some liberal model countries." "According to UNICEF reports, cases of sexual harassment against children have increased in some Western countries due to overly broad notions about freedom of sexual expression." Muslim communities are more stable, with lower rates of sexual diseases and extramarital pregnancy. In the West: High rates of sexual diseases, illegal pregnancy, divorce. In the Muslim community respect for family relations and their interdependence. In the West: Family breakdown due to infidelity and casual relationships. In the Muslim community, protecting mental health (due to controlling cravings). In the West: the prevalence of depression, porn addiction, sexual disorders. 6. Her stance on pornography and sexual exploitation The Muslim community forbids pornography and considers it a corruption of nature. Consider it freedom of expression or even "ours"! The Muslim community emphasizes the protection of children from harassment and exploitation. In some models, “children’s sexual rights” (!) are studied, opening the door to delinquency. Conclusion: Substantial difference: broadening the perception and rooting the concept Suggest a more academic formulation: Islamic sex education is not only a framework to protect the individual from delinquency, but it is a comprehensive system that educates the conscience, controls behavior, and contributes to building cohesive societies based on modesty and responsibility. Western models, despite their biological information, by excluding spiritual values, dehumanize the relationship and turn it into a consumer commodity. And do not approach fornication, for it is an indecency and an evil way. — Source: Posted on Dr. Mohammed Bourbab's Facebook page on 2025-05-11 https://www.facebook.com/bourbab.m/posts/pfbid0WrvM7b7coZH4Akv2aPvnqifHst2p1iuZWy6Y5jeZyo8m1Z783qP9d7NdagX7Qj5Wl
