As a practicing Muslim, the author explains from a personal lens how abstaining strengthens the soul. Some questions Muslim women ask most often regarding their religion have to do with women issues. A Muslim woman who is learning about her religion finds out quickly that certain acts of worship such as formal prayer and fasting, and even sex are forbidden at times. The author also explains that many of us learn, when we are young, that masturbating is wrong or bad, so there can be feelings of guilt or shame about doing it or talking about it. This book is intended to clear up these issues as much as possible. Another great book to read: Muslimah ISBN 979-8786646598
