Classic Islamic Erotic Literature: The Perfumed Garden..by Shaykh al Nafzawi

This book is actually an Islamic sex guide written in North Africa a few hundred years ago by Shaykh al Nafzawi on the command of the amir.

It is well worth reading for sociological as well as sexual reasons.

You can read it online too. A search for it will bring up the relevant website.

Unlike other monotheistic religions Islam is very open about sexuality…

hahahahaha!

Asif, we are using this book as our text this semester. This is muslimaanooN ka version of kamasutra. And you wud be surprise to know that this book was banned by catholic church in Europe as soon as it came in market.

wesay we must admit, hum muslimaan kisi se kam nai …hindu kha ma kha kamasutra pe itraaye itraaye phirte thay…hum bi kisi se kam nai

You though are kha makha Kamsutra se impressed ho Everybody knows Hindu women are crazy only because they never got real men until 1000 yrs ago with arrival of first lahkara of handsome young studs through the khyber pass .

It is amazing how different people can reach different conclusions from the same bit of information.

  • Asif,peace be around him, concluded that since one Shaikh sahib in North America wrote a book on sex, Islam must be very open about sexual expression. In fact he feels proud about the book as if sexual writings by fellow believers enhance his own faith in God.

  • Yousaf on the other hand seem to believe in - real men don't need play boy - theory. He thinks hindus wrote Kamasutra because they could not satisfy their women so they thought may be reading Kamasutra will calm down their women. Of course once the Khyber pass opened, which he believes only opened 1000 years ago,(I commend his knowledge about history), hindus did not need kamasutra anymore. Since khyber pass is still open, I am happy for Yousaf Khan.

Islamic Erotic Literature

What makes it Islamic? Please tell me, what makes it Islamic? Because it was writen by someone named Shaykh al Nafzawi?

Will someone give a link to the original book. then we will decide if its Islamic or its just another guys attempt at pornography

yousaf what are you talkin about darra Khyber. Are u talkin about muslim armies?

Secondly Sheikh does not mean Sheikh Islam. Sheikh in Arabic means any person with knowledge. Knowedge could be of anything. Relegion, sex or whatever.

ever heard of Islamic Architecture
& Islamic Calligraphy …

The Perfumed Garden

[This message has been edited by Cute Munna (edited February 25, 2002).]

Thanks Cute Munna .

What does Islamic Architecture & Islamic Calligraphy have to do with this? This is information, sex information, writen by some Arab-Muslim.

If you go that way, then by the same token I believe that the west have every right to call Osama bin Ladin an Islamic terrorist and they have every right to label Islam as a terrorist religion, because he (Osama) claims his fight and war to be Islamic.

Yemeen,

Admittedly I do not know much biographical details about who this Shaykh al Nafzawi was. But he was by no means the first Muslim scholar to write about sexual technique and how to enhance love-making etc.

The great Sunni scholar, jurist, Qur’an exegete, Sufi, hadith master, and mujaddid of his time, Hazrat Imam Jalaluddin as-Suyuti rahmatullah alayhi, who is accepted as a great Muslim scholar of Ahle Sunnah by all groups, wrote no less than EIGHT textbooks on sexual technique similar to the Perfumed Garden.

hiya!

The perfume garden link was quite interesting…I wonder what it would have
been like to be around those ages!
Maybe that manual was meant to be a modern
“broad minded” view of the time.

but personally i prefer the current thinking
of love and sex… this day and age thinking
is much more modern and certain things arn’t so taboo plus advances in medicine
has changed a lot.
