Boreal

Love, Sex and Islam

Foreword

In Falling for Uzza, a posting on my website boreal.ca (see Prologue), I wrote that I owed you, but particularly my wife’s friends, an explanation as to why, when I told Lucette that a young African working girl was crashing at my apartment in Montréal, all she said was she would like to meet her. My explanation took on a life of its own and that is how I found myself writing, during the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, a book about love, sex and Islam.

The dozen or so adult situation stories in PART I – Sex in the Here-And-Now, some of which may bring more than a smile to your face, are not gratuitous. Despite the purposeful nature of my disclosures, I found it difficult writing about some close encounters. I particularly hated admitting to being intimate with anyone other than my beloved Lucette. However, I am sure she will forgive my telling the world if marrying sex and scriptures gives non-Muslims a better understanding of the latter and convinces believers who may be contemplating martyrdom because of what they have been told about sex in the Hereafter not to be in such a hurry to get there only to be disappointed.

Except where otherwise requested or for security purposes, actual names (first names only) are used. As unlikely as it is, if you recognize yourself in a character, I hope you will be flattered, not upset, that I remember our time together after all these years.

PART II – Sex in the Hereafter uses the experiences revealed in PART I to compare sex in the now with sex in the Hereafter with Allah’s vaunted houris.
