The mother's natural affection and tender caress is an affirmation that both
she and child have the protection of a potent wali (father and husband) who
stands an ever watchful guard as Mohammad’s vicegerent. Again, this
reassuring touch is the path whereby the three human elements: soul, etheric
body, and flesh, are fully integrated and blissfully united in that moment of
orgiastic return to the tiny slice of surrender to Paradise's pleasure in
orgasmic fana : it is the quintessence of divine love that repeatedly regenerates
the etheric life-force and restores/maintains health, which is one reason some
of us maintain a youthful glow even into our eighth decade of life’s pleasure
and pain. As the quintessential element of divine grace, it is therefore holy
and represents piety at its zenith when practiced in remembrance of our
Creator. Indeed, if Al’Qur’an holds any mystery in the use of the word
“Nikah”, then what I’ve just described is it. It is the human touch which is
entirely sexualized according to the awesomely profound directive of the
Word of Al'Mussawwir.
Therefore, the Heterosexual union of genders in licit marriage ( tawaj )
completes the human experience of Tawheed, with which neither man nor
woman on their own can remember Allah as divinely intended through the
unity of both complementary natures. This conscious union is what truly
provides the groundwork for the 'best of all possible offspring'. Women,
much more than men, intuitively know this even though they cannot express
it as such. This is why they tend to lust after “romantic” novels and fantasies,
etc. etc. of the forever-after venues. Men, on the other hand, just want to get
vulgarly on with it, so to speak. Sorry guys.
Without the 'touch' of this authentic true-love, all else is a deviation from the
course of perfection, and any who enter the bed of mere carnality have missed
the mark of marital piety and inevitably profane their sexuality. Without the
gentleness of our instinctive approach to and touch of the infant, sex is a
mere animal act in which trust and faith cannot manifest and are denied, and
morality has no place, which is why it is called immoral and even, sub-
human.
Touch & Discernment
All that the infant-baby learns by experience is somehow mediated through
the sense of touch. Even sound vibrations and light waves must 'touch' the
