Chastity – Koran

For men and women who guard their chastity, and for men and women who engage much in God’s praise, for them has God prepared forgiveness and great reward. (33:35)

About Miriam (Mary):

“And remember her, who guarded her chastity, We breathed into her of Our spirit and We made her and her son a sign for all peoples.” (21:91)

“She screened herself away from them (her people) then We sent to her Our angel, and he appeared before her as a man in all respects. She said: I seek refuge from you to God, Most Gracious (come not near) if you do fear God. He said I am only a messenger from your Lord (to announce) to you the gift of a holy son-She said: How shall I have a son, seeing that no man has touched me and I am not unchaste?” (19:17-20)

Adultery

Adultery means “to mix the forces.” As men we need the female polarity, and the females need the male polarity. In that mixture God is working, as fire. But if we put in that body another fire, then we are adulterating the essence of our own particular God, Love.
