The Perfumed Garden
Has anyone heard of the work entitled “The Perfumed Garden” by an Islamic scholar named Shaykh Nefwazi?
He lived about 925 Hijra, which is roughly 16th century AD.
His work focused on healthy sexual relationships between Muslim couples. By todays standards, the book would be considered a mixture of sexual psychology and erotic literature.
It is something that many Muslims today who don’t delve into the importance of a healthy sexual relationship, let alone for the pleasure of their wives.

About Islam Factor
Islam Factor was an Islamic multifaith forum which was founded as a bold experiment in Muslim freedom of expression, freedom of speech and cooperation with people from all walks of life. Some who follow, agree with or are amacable to Islam and some who are opposed. Whether we agree with or follow Islam or not, whether we oppose Islam or not, no matter the nation, race religion or creed we are from, we all have one thing in common. We all are human-beings with the same basic needs, hopes and emotions.
Our forum promoted an almost unheard of tolerance (that eludes many Muslim groups) that transcends all of our differences while discussing the critical issues that divide us as human-beings. Issues involving Islam on all levels (inside and outside of the Islamic community) was discussed on our forum openly and unhindered. This forum was a mode of communication that allowed for dissent and encouraged methods to overcome the critical problems that concern us all.
We were different than any Islamic or religious forum on the net. Although we had rules like all forums do, we allowed for the freedom to express opposing ideas from external individuals (non-Muslims) and from Muslims themselves. Dissent is the key to proper checks and balances within a community and criticism from outside is key to self examination and bettering ourselves as a community and as human-beings in general.
Muslims, Christians, Jews, Atheists, all human beings were valued on the forum for membership and leadership roles!
It was a success for the web project which lasted 5 years. We hope you enjoyed your experience there.
