The spread of Erotic Poetry

The spread of Erotic Poetry

Dr. Jassim Taqui

The Arab world is witnessing a new phenomenon that spreads evil, moral corruption, false and secret rumor and slander. This phenomenon is called “ Secret Acts” or “ Erotic Poetry”, which is practiced by feminine who blow on knots to produce “ black magic” with the objective of corrupting men through seductive charm.

The erotic poetry is not new. It was practiced in Arabia even before Islam. The Holy Quran referred to it in (113-4).

However, the inability of the Arabs to control the internet and Social Media, is viewed as the main reason behind the erotic poetry. A group of people started the use of nafath (reading holy Quran on a small quantity of water and blowing air on it) as a mean of curing the “seduced” and expelling evil from him simply by drinking that water.

Nafth creates a “barrier” between the seduced and the intense feeling of desire that makes him believe that sex is not sordid or ugly but the ultimate salvation. Many influential Arab personalities insist that it is the erotic poetry that is making a large number of youth join ISIS as a volunteers in a bid to escape the black magic.
