Islam and Yoga 17         

After Ashtaya comes Brahmacharya

Islam and Brahmacharya  (celibacy)

Islam does not encourage or support celibacy.

Marriage is a natural, legal way to relieve  and regulate ones physical feelings and arousing .In turn it leads to mental relief culminating in spirituality 

Almighty promises a reward for chaste men and women

“For men and women who guard their chastity…………

For them Almighty prepared forgiveness and great reward Quran 33-35

Islam has taken a firm and decisive stance against   adultery. Allah, the Almighty, commands in explicit and unequivocal words:

“ And come not near unto adultery. Lo! it is an abomination and an evil way” Quran  17: 32.

"The woman and the man guilty of fornication/adultery,- flog each of them with a hundred stripes: Let not compassion move you in their case, in a matter prescribed by Allah, if ye believe in Allah and the Last Day: and let a party of the Believers witness their punishment."

— Qur'an, 24 2

Likewise for baseless accusation severe punishment is prescribed

"And those who accuse chaste women then do not bring four witnesses, flog them, (giving) eighty stripes, and do not admit any evidence from them ever; and these it is that are the transgressors. Except those who repent after this and act aright, for surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful."

— Qur'an,  24: 4-5

Whole lot of a society is destroyed by Almighty for practicing unnatural relationship despite clear warning through a messenger

From religious point of view, in contemporary society polygamy is associated with Muslim religion, although not all Muslims practice it, and neither is it restricted to this religion..  In cultures which practice polygamy, its prevalence among that population is often connected to class and socioeconomic status.

Islam regulated polygamy by imposing rules and regulations

One of the important rules is that the man should try to treat all his wives equally as far as possible.
