In an age where intimacy is romanticised and limits to sexual fulfilment are being increasingly eroded, many Muslimahs struggle with unrealistic expectations, pressures and conflicting messages. This course provides essential guidance on bringing this deeply personal aspect of life in line with the Shari‘ah.

Drawing on biological, psychological, and spiritual insights, it uncovers the wisdom behind Islamic guidelines on sexuality and intimacy. This includes a deep dive into understanding the real-life differences between men and women, the halal and haram of sexual relations, purification after intimacy, contraception and more.

Alongside essential fiqh rulings, the course also addresses common concerns of women regarding satisfaction in marital intimacy and offers practical advice on communication and managing expectations to nurture a fulfilling marital bond.

This course is exclusively for sisters.

“This an excellent course that covers all the details of halal and harams of marital relations. These topics are brushed under the carpet in our society but they are extremely important to learn and Ustadha Myra did an excellent job presenting them in a clear and detailed manner! Highly recommend this course for all women.”
