"Homosexual Desires in Madrassas" is an English translation of a sermon by Maulana Shah Hakeem Muhammad Akhter, a respected Sufi Muslim scholar from India. The sermon was delivered in 1986 in Rehmatpur, Bangladesh, and recorded on an audio cassette by Maulana's assistant. The intended audience for the sermon was the seminary teachers at Maulana's schools in Bangladesh, India, Kenya, Mauritius, and Pakistan. It was intended to instruct them on how to avoid having romantic or sexual feelings for their students.In 2013, after Maulana's death in Karachi, Pakistan, the sermon was published in Urdu by Khanqah Imdadiya Ashrafiya. This pamphlet is a faithful translation of Maulana's original sermon, preserving the tone and meaning of his words.
