ATH: Imam W. D. Mohammed(ra) on Sex and Its Implication for Religion

Sex, Implications in Religion", religious language, or in religious terminology. We have several terms in our language and those terms in the language they carry certain message certain meanings that are associated with certain concerns, certain human concerns. When I say that "I am a man" that refers to male, man referring to male, and it carries a certain meaning. Most of us don't know the exact meaning of such terms. We only know the general meaning. We have been using these terms and they are so common that we have taken them for granted. We say, "Oh, I know what a man means, a man means male, adult." And that's enough for us, just to say that.

But if we study the word, if we trace the history of the word we'll find that "m a n" means more than that; and likewise for "w o m a n", if we trace the word we'll find that it means more than what we ordinarily think it to mean.
