Sameera Qureshi of Sexual Health for Muslims joins us today to discuss the effects of colonized gender-based fallacies have on Muslim sexual health and practice. Not only does she have comprehensive sexual education from an Islamic perspective online, she is keen on connecting sex as a means of spiritual fulfillment, “God-consciousness,” tawheed, within an Islamic context. 

Learn the difference between sex and intimacy, and maybe even redefine them! We are ALWAYS asked when and how to talk to our kids about sex at the podcast. This episode is for all those people who ask that question. If it’s sexual trauma that a parent or child has endured, Sameera helps with that as well and offers trauma-informed healing to her clients. The good news is, we can achieve the goals Allah SWT set for us when He gifted us with sexual relations: achieve God-consciousness, but only when we get comfortable talking about ALL of it.
