==A Discourse on Sexual Desire [https://archive.org/stream/6-abu-hamid-muhammad-ghazali-on-disciplining-the-soul-and-breaking-the-two-desires/6_Abu_Hamid_Muhammad_Ghazali_On_Disciplining_The_Soul_And_Breaking_The_Two_Desires_djvu.txt]==

K NOW that man has been made subject to sexual desire for

two beneficial reasons. The first of these is that by know¬

ing its delight he is able to draw an analogy which suggests to

him what the delight of the Afterlife must be like. For the

delight of the sexual act, were it to last, would be the greatest

pleasure of the body, just as the pain of a bum is the body’s

greatest agony. Encouragement and deterrance [al-targhib wa’l-

tarhib\, which drive people towards their saving happiness, can

only be brought about by means of palpable pain and pleasure,

since what cannot be perceived through experience will never

be greatly desired. The second reason is that it allows the

human race to continue and the world [ c alam] to abide. Such

are its benefits/

However, sexual desire also contains evils which may

destroy both religion and the world if it is not controlled and

subjugated, and restored to a state of equilibrium. It has been

said that His word (Exalted is He!), O our Lord! Burden us not

with more than we can bear!' refers, when correctly interpreted,

to powerful lust . 2 And Ibn ‘Abbas understood His word

A Cf. also the five ‘benefits of marriage’ expounded by Ghazali in Ihyd\

II. 22-30 ( K. Adab al-nikdh , bab 1, Afat al-nikah wa-fawa’iduh), namely: (1)

obtaining children who will serve their parents and pray for them; (2) gain¬

ing a lawful outlet for sexual desire, thereby thwarting the devil; (3)

relaxation of the heart through intimacy with a woman; (4) relief from

domestic chores; (5) an opportunity to struggle against the nafs when making

an honourable living for one’s family, and tolerating the difficulties of mar¬

ried life.
