 The theme of love is often mentioned in foundational texts of Muslim tradition, in its physical as well as in its spiritual dimension. For our cameras Jean Annestay gets into relations between men and women, celibacy, sexuality in Islam, through three levels of lecture. - according to the hadiths (the prophets' words) - for those who follow the Way of Tasawwuf, Muslim mystic (Sufism) - and in the writings of female Muslim Sufi saints, especially from Rabi'a Al-'Adawiyya
So does the Qur'an blame severely celibacy and monasticism? However, the more the level of interpretation is deep, inner, the more what seemed restrictive turns out to be liberation... It all depends on the point of view taken by the "observer" and the inner dispositions (true) of the "observed" one. So it's to an opposite vision of that literality of the hadiths that the Sufi Way and the Muslim saints are inviting us to: taking its foundation in the divine, we forget its body (potentially painful) or its soul wounds (often egotic) to get closer to "the Way" or the Principle.
It's a new point of view, which would seem revolutionary if it wasn't ancient... for our society that turns around itself, subject to a fanatical egalitarianism and where the terms of "spirituality" et "Islam" are soiled by irrelevant associations.
