In Islam, what are the views about sex? It is like the Christian world view where it should only be within marriage?

Sex is lawful only within marrriage.

But are you sure christians view sex only within marriage?
Last time I checked most christians have sex before marriage and have extramarital affairs. Not only that, even practicing homosexuals become priests and homosexuals have sexual union blessings in churches.
 
yes any form of male/female relationship should strictly be within marriage yes.
 
yes after marriage, and not anal.

That's the simplest way of saying it, brother...

This is probably the best answer. Zinnah, or any sex outside of marriage, and other sexual acts of any kind are strictly forbidden and you must repent from them. Yet in marriage, sex and satisfying your spouse's desires are a form of worship and charity.

SubhanAllah

Christian view of sex should be only be within a heterosexual marriage. Many Christians, in my humble opinion, harm the Christian view by committing adultery.
 
I wouldn't quite call it worship, but it's a good deed certainly if done to please your spouse.
 
Yes Xander its only legal and allow or you can say permissible after marriage. Before marriage you could not even think of it. If you commit such sin then Hell fire is waiting for you.

You can't judge a religion by the weaknesses of its followers. There are many faithful Christians and there are many Christians who have weaknesses.

To the OP, one difference I have noticed is that while both Christianity and Islam only permit sex in a married relationship, their attitude towards it is very different. To quote Abdal Hakim Murad (a Cambridge scholar), "In a Christian context, sexuality is traditionally seen as a consequence of the Fall, but for Muslims, it is an anticipation of paradise."
 
With regards to Islam and sex, are there the same restrictions that would apply to a Catholic and sex? That is to say that in addition to the previously mentioned conditions mentioned conditions there are some further restrictions. Catholics, for example, believe that sex must be open to life (and consequently should not use contraceptives). Do Muslims have any similar restrictions?

Salam brother,

Basically the same, no contraception and no abortions.
How ever health and preservation of life has precedence over principle of the law (Shariah).
Life as in the church is preordained / predestined as mentioned in our 6th article of faith

The basic difference with the church and Islam is that the church issues ordinances by Papal decree (which the church holds as divinely inspired) where as Muslims follow divine Decree and ordinances with Divinely inspired Prophetic clarifications.

I didnt immediately understand before that sex within the marriage is an act of worship.
I was like whattt???
But now its clear to me, alhamdollelah

When we do anything "halal" we will be rewarded

and besides if romance within the marriage is encouraged like that, the relations will be stronger and the couple will not have a chance to look for that outside the marriage ;)

Allah knows best.

What is your basis for asserting that contraception is un-Islamic?

Good answer. I'm a little surprised about the abortion issue. I was under the impression that Muslims did not believe that one possessed a soul at the moment of conception, rather that soul comes later (the number I'm thinking of is somewhere around three months), but I suppose I was mistaken. The contraception issue was completely new to me. It's a shame the Church and followers of Islam cannot combine their efforts on both issues.

Although in the case of the Church's position on the particular issues mentioned, I would hold that these teaching are derived, and gain their authority, from Scripture, not the Magisterium. That is to say, although the teaching itself has been reaffirmed (and sometimes expounded upon) by the Magisterium, the doctrine itself (at least Church would hold) is also due to Divine decree. I suppose that might be me splitting hairs though. Thank you again for the response.

Contraception / Condom are not forbidden in Islam

Islam is flexible religion, it can be adjustable to situation (but not changeable)
My fellow Muslim is endorsing usage of condom (national tv)

MANY people criticized him esp the christians
& I support him, first of all, he isnt wearing it, second thing he didnt tell to use to anyone but your wife

if you are in situation where you cant have a child (financial reason etc) & you dont have good control , condom is the best option
as for the pills, its okay to use as long as it is not dangerous to someone's health

if it is harram it wouldnt be sold in Islamic countries (the very 1st to ban them, but they are indeed abundant even in the supermarket)

salam
