Overview

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.

“In this transformative and groundbreaking book, Sameera Qureshi offers a deeply spiritual, yet practical and comprehensive guide to sexual health in the life of a Muslim. Grounded in the rich Islamic tradition, this book equips readers with valuable tools to center God while navigating their sexual well-being. A true gift to the field, and a must-read for Muslims, clinicians, and anyone seeking a spiritually rooted and holistic approach to sexual health.” Amal Killawi, LCSW, The Family & Youth Institute, USA “In this innovative and important book, Sameera Qureshi dialectically unites Islamic traditions of the soul with our contemporary understanding of sexual health. This unification allows the reader to center their soul as a mandatory element for their sexual health, liberating them from the polarizations of repression and permissiveness. An extraordinary work!” Waleed Sami, PhD, assistant professor, Department of Psychology, City College of New York
