Perspectives About Need Of Sensory Gratification
Asalamualaikum, I used to be a person who was too dependent on self gratifying activities, they more deep you get into satisfying your desires, the more you want. It’s a cycle, and it becomes an addiction. That’s why there is 5 times salah per day, so that you focus on important things in life, not your desires, when your desires try to take over you, you remember Allah and that gives you strength to fight it. So yes a person can get through his life without getting married even if he is always focused on important things, sexual desires are there by nature but as may know, a human can become better than angels if he controls his desires and can becomes an animal if he has no control at all. Well what we can do is atleast try to be inbetween, a normal human, we just need to show strength in those weak moments and with time, our strength will increase. Well in short, we can lead our lives normally without getting married for long and fighting off our desires is the Greater Jihad.
