Superb Review of the Controversial Book Why Porn Is Halal
29/09/2019
The issue of sex is promoted as an issue among many Muslims and the idea that watching porn or masturbating is completely frowned upon and the ignorance and and arrogance is more a burning issue among Muslims than sex itself.
In a day and age where men and women are sexualized like never before, it is shocking to see how some Muslims are wrongly handling the issue of sex and pornography in a more puritanical and Victorian mindset that has done more damage than help to the modern Muslim youth. Islam is the only religion that solves all of the problems that mankind faces in his day to day lives and Islam solves all the sexual issue as well. In a time where Muslims are blindly following Islam and not sticking to the Quran and the sunnah, the book "In defence of porn in the light of Quran and the authentic sunnah" answers the and defends pornography in a way that does not go against the teachings of Islam.
My earlier book “Why Masturbation Is Not Forbidden in Islam” was mainly written in defence of masturbation. It was a groundbreaking book that was first of its kind when defending masturbation in the religion of Islam. Similarly, this is the first ever book written in history that defends pornography for a necessity in Islam. Many might wonder why I am so obsessed about masturbation and pornography when there are many issues that needs to be discussed in the Muslim community. The reason I decided to write a book on pornography is because although there are people to address more comfortable topics in Islam, such as marriage, faith, practices and so forth, there are only a few who are ready to talk on taboo topics such as porn or masturbation and I believe that avoiding talking about a sensitive topic such as pornography will solve nothing. As a person who is qualified in Islam and comparative religion, I think that it’s important to start discussing on topics which are considered as taboo among most Muslims. Writing a book in any genre or category involves considerable labour. I grew up in the island nation of Srilanka and came from a conservative family that supported both liberal and conservative ideas. My book "In defence of porn" solves many issues relating to watching porn and clears many misconceptions about porn as well. This book contains the following chapters.
Chapter 1-What Is Porn?
In this chapter, a complete explanations is given on what porn is and the history and emergence of porn.
Chapter 2-What Does Islam Say About Watching Porn?
This chapter is dedicated on how Islam defines pornography and a complete comprehensive explanation is given here.
Chapter 3-Why Watching Real Life Porn Due To a Necessity Is Allowed In Islam.
In this chapter I convincingly argue using the Quran and the authentic hadiths to prove once and for all why porn is halal for a necessity. Allah(Swt) allowed the eating of pork in the Quran for a necessity even though it is explicitly forbidden. Similarly, I argue in this chapter that watching porn becomes halal for a necessity. I have explained in detail with many more evidence from the Quran and the authentic hadiths of the messenger(Sal) arguing why porn is halal for a necessity.
Chapter 4-What Did The Salaf Say About Necessity?
It is a fad nowadays to argue by quoting the opinions of the scholar leaving aside the real sources of Islam namely, the Quran and the authentic hadiths and in this chapter I quote the sayings and the opinions of the authentic scholars who are the senior scholars of the pious predecessors known as the salaf us saliheen to prove why necessity dictates exceptions.
Chapter 5-Why Anime/3D Porn is Halal (Permissible) In Islam. Another well known issue that isn't getting any attention is the issue of watching anime or 3D porn. I dedicate this chapter completely argue and prove why watching anime/3D porn is halal in Islam.
Chapter 6-Why Masturbation Is Halal (Permissible) In Islam.
Most Muslims in the world are against masturbation but a majority of them will still masturbate because it is near impossible in this day and age to not masturbate. I explain this unfortunate reality of the Muslim community and prove once and for all why masturbation is completely halal in Islam using all the authentic evidence in Islam.
Chapter 7-Islamic Ruling On Sculptures, Photography, Images Etc.
Usually the issue of watching porn is in most cases related to the subject of sculptures and photography and video. This chapter explains and answers all the misconceptions relating to this very important subject.
Chapter 8-Get Married Or Die Fasting Myth And What Does Islam Really Say About Marriage
When anyone comes across discussing pornography or masturbation with another Muslim, one of the immediate responses he or she would get would be to get married. Marriage nowadays is s thing that is unethically forced and addressing this issue is very important and I have dedicated this chapter to explain why marriage is not a must in Islam and there are many options other than marriage. This chapter discusses the myths surrounding marriage and the also debunks the argument of forcing people to fast.
Chapter 9-The Porn Addiction Myth. Does Porn Addiction Exist
The golden argument that is been propagated among Muslim sex counselors and the so called porn and masturbation addiction gurus is that porn is an addiction. I prove with all the available medical research evidence arguing and proving that pron addiction does not exist and all the arguments that are put forward to prove that watching porn is and addiction is a myth.
Chapter 10-Porn between Morality and Crime.
In this modern era almost every single social ill is blamed on pornography. The rise of rapes,the reasons for mass murders,the emergence of serial killers,unhappy marital relationships and the list is endless. In this chapter I discuss and debunk the wrong arguments that have been put forward to prove why porn cause crime and effects morality.
Chapter 11-Pros and Cons of Watching Porn, Analyzing the Scientific Evidence
Have you ever been searching on the web to find what porn actually does and does not do to your health? this chapter answers all that you have been searching for. In this chapter I analyze the various scientific studies that are for and against porn and this chapter will clear almost all the doubts that would arise on the the various conflicting studies that have been conducted on the pros and cons of watching pron.
All of these article are well researched and written using the the various verses in the Quran and the authentic hadiths of the prophet(peace be upon him) and the scientific research evidence to back it.
Just like most south Asian families, my family practiced religion blindly without considering to fact check any evidence that was presented by anyone. Rather than questioning, we were told to listen and obey and that was the accepted norm and going against it was an option that had many consequences. Srilankans are mainly Buddhists and most of the Buddhists are highly superstitious and have not even seen their main religious canon known as Tripitaka with their own eyes. Most Buddhists can easily be manipulated with the garbage fed by the monks in temples. This book is not an attempt by me to legitimize porn, but to argue that watching porn in fear of committing adultery or in other words Zina is allowed in Islam. Blind following and scriptural ignorance is not confined only to Buddhists, Muslims are also ignorant about the basic tenants of Islam and the lack of intellectualism is evident like never before. Ignorance and arrogance are not only confined to the island of Srilanka the whole world is made up of mostly ignorant people and hence it has made it more-easy for people to be manipulated by the media, religious sects and religious preachers. After realizing that Islam is based only on two sources, namely the Quran and the authentic Sunnah of the messenger Of Allah (Sal) as understood by the Salaf-us-Saliheen who are the earliest generation of Muslims who followed the prophet (Sal) was convinced that there is evidence to prove that watching porn when there is a necessity is allowed in Islam. Pornography can be regarded as one of the most taboo topics even by western liberal standards.
There have been news stories from the western world where people have been suspended from work for watching porn. Some countries have even gone the extra mile in banning and censoring porn websites. Such censorship is nothing but a waste of time and resources because it is impossible in this day and age to censor porn completely because even if one particular porn website is censored, it still can be easily accessed using a proxy server or a VPN.
Take Saudi Arabia for an example where porn censorship is very strong, according to Alexa 2019, 30% of the top websites are porn websites. In China, where censorship is only second to North Korea, many banned porn websites rank among the top viewed even after many VPN services have been pulled down. What I strongly believe is policing porn or the internet is not the answer. Rather, facilitating a way of ease is the way forward for Muslims when viewing
Pornography. The difference between this book and all the other books on Pornography is that everything I have discussed here are provided From the Quran and the authentic hadiths and backed by the wordings of the Salafus Saliheen who are the pious predecessors and also by medical evidence.
Who will benefit from reading this book?
If you are a young Muslim who wants direction on what is the real Islamic viewpoint on viewing porn.
If you are a confused Muslim who has been bombarded and being brainwashed to think that you are addicted to porn and it is forbidden to watch porn no matter what.
If you are a researcher who is on the lookout for the truth.
If you are a non-Muslim who is interested to know the real stance of Islam on viewing porn.
Anyone, irrespective of age or religion who wants to know the truth about what Islam really says about porn.
As the author of the book"In defence of porn in the light of the Quran and the authentic sunnah" I recommend this book for everyone no matter where you would be in the world because this book Insha-Allah would be an eye opener. This book is an amazing read for Muslims and non Muslims who want to have a clear glimpse on what Islam actually says about pornography. This book is the first of it's kind in the world that defends pornography using the authentic evidence in Islam. There are hundreds and even thousands of books written by Muslims and non Muslims bashing pornography but this book is a one of a kind gem that answers one of the most burning sexual issue among Muslims. Allah(Swt( says in the Quran,
"And if you differ in anything amongst yourselves, refer it to Allah and His Messenger (SAW), if you believe in Allah and in the Last Day. That is better and more suitable for final determination"
(Al-Quran-4:59)
Based on the above verse of the Quran, I have convincingly argued and proven in this book that watching porn is completely halal if it is for a necessity.Published and available on Amazon kindle, this book reached the number one bestsellers list in Amazon under the "Islam" section.
