Course Sample: Erotic Islamic Literature
a course that preserves and celebrates the history of Islam’s erotic art and literature
We’re forgetting everything. We’re forgetting that it’s we Arabs, we Muslims, who shocked the West with our erotic texts in the fifteenth century. We invented the realm of the erotic. We’re suffering from collective amnesia.”
— Nabil Ayouch (Moroccan filmmaker) in ‘Sex & Lies’
“Muslims can turn to a long written tradition, led by scholars, that saw no incompatibility between the needs of the body and the demands of the faith. From the ninth to the thirteenth centuries, when Islamic civilisation reached its apogee, literature and the erotic arts flourished.
From the nineteenth century onwards, the intellectual, political and economic decline of the Arab world seems to have proceeded in tandem with increasingly puritanical views about sex. With the advent of the twentieth century, colonisation was in any case set to impose very restrictive laws in this domain. The aim was to establish a barrier between immigrants from the West and the native women, and so to contain the ‘unbridled’ sensuality of the local population.”
— Laila Slimani in 'Sex & Lies'

“The space where she meets her god is intimate and womb-like, and profoundly personal. ”

“I exhausted myself, looking.
No one ever finds this by trying.
I melted in it and came home,
where every jar is full
but no one drinks.”
“The undoing of what we never knew was done might be the greatest journey of our lives: the long walk back to the beginning. ”

My work is testimony to the unity of the feminine, the sensual and the divine, refuting the interpretation that they are in contradiction with one another. I’m devoted to the intimate experiences of the Arab woman and the world around her. Through my writing and art, I investigate the religious and cultural wounds that interfere with perception, desire, and pursuits, revealing layers of existence in each body of work.
