An Inquiry into the Anthropological Understanding of Sexual Verses of the Holy Quran

According to theologians, religion is an essential component of human existence. Through religion, man seeks to analyze the world and life, the origin and end of existence; This is the main subject of sociology and anthropology, as it is considered an intellectual and cultural alternative to secular interpretations of the origin of human existence and relation to the world and life. For some, mythological thinking has become religious thinking and then scientific and objective thinking. Sex is the biological basis of human existence. Yet, apparently, religion and gender are culturally incompatible. In this research, which has been done with a descriptive-analytical approach, we have dealt with the fact that the Qur'anic text deals with the subject of sexual intercourse as the basis of human existence and the way of life, with revelatory language and far from inferiority and with subtle phrases and selected words. . The sexual interpretation of some verses is a function of the culture of the interpreter in the paradigm of social and anthropological analysis, which puts these cases in the category of human endeavors and therefore does not reflect the true meaning of the Qur'anic text 100%. It leaves according to its sanctity.
