About this episode

There shouldn't be taboos in Islam, especially when it comes to the way Allah created us and taking care of our health, yet sexual education is something that has always been ignored or put to shame in our community.


Today, I am joined by Sameera Qureshi who I discovered a while back through her amazing Instagram page called Sexual Health for Muslims. I was so pleasantly surprised to discover a Muslim woman doing something that was so needed and educational for all of us, so when I brainstormed ideas for the podcast, I knew I wanted to have this chat on sexual desires as a single Muslimah with her.


As usual please let me know your thoughts insha'Allah!
