Zina
The Holy Qur'n states: >"And do not go near zina. It is indeed a shameful and an evil path." >(Surah Al Isr', Ayah 32) > >"The woman and the man guilty of fornication - lash each of them with a >hundred lashes. Let not compassion move you in their case, in a matter >prescribed by Allh, if you believe in Allh and the Last day and let a group >of believers witness their punishment". (Surah Al-Nr, Ayah 2) > >The Holy Prophet Sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam said: >"...adultery of the eyes is when it looks at that which is Harm; adultery >of the ears is when it listens to that which is Harm; adultery of the >tongue is when it utters Harm; adultery of the hands is when it touches >Harm; adultery of the feet is when it walks towards Harm; adultery of the >heart is when it desires and hopes for that which is Harm; adultery of the >private parts is when it succumbs to that which is Harm." > >From the above Hadth it is clear and apparent that Islam forbids not only >the act of adultery but all acts that invite and encourage the act of zina. >Islam shuts the door to the root of every evil. > >Touching a Strange Woman with Lust >It has been reported that the person who touches a strange woman with lust, >on the day of resurrection his hands will be shackled to his neck. If he >kissed her, his lips will be cut off and thrown in the fire of Jahannum. If >he committed adultery then his thighs will bear witness to it and -*test*-('")ify >against him on the Day of Qiymat. It will say to him, "I was mounted for >something impermissible." Allh will look at him with anger. The flesh of >his face will fall off and he will proclaim "What did I do?" His tongue >will -*test*-('")ify and say, "I spoke to whom it was not permissible for you to >talk to." His legs will -*test*-('")ify, "I walked towards something unlawful." His >hands will -*test*-('")ify "I held something which was prohibited for you." His >eyes will -*test*-('")ify "I gazed at unlawful things." His private parts will >-*test*-('")ify "I committed the act." An angel will say, "I heard it" >while another will say, "I've written it down." Allh will say "I was aware >of it and I concealed it." Then Allh will say to the angels "Let him taste >of my punishment. My anger has increased on one who has no shame." >(Kitb-ul-Kaba'ir) > >Hadth Warns Parents >Raslullah Sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam has said: "When he attains maturity >get him married. If he attains maturity and his father does not get him >married, (and as a result commits a sin,) this sin falls upon the father." > >Raslullah Sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam Speaks to Youth >Raslullah Sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam said: "O young men, who amongst you >can afford to get married, should marry, for this will be a means of >restraining the eyes from casting an evil glance and keeping one pure and >chaste." (Mishkt) > >The Harms of Zina are Manifold >1. Allh Ta'la becomes very angry. >2. The reckoning in the hereafter will be very severe. >3. The person will enter Jahannam. >4. The barakh (blessing) of his rizq is lost. >5. He is deprived from doing good. >6. He becomes hated and cursed in the eyes of the common people. 7. >The nation involved in Zina will be afflicted with droughts. 8. The >spreading of diseases and plagues. >9. The destruction of the locality. >10. The cause of earthquakes. >11. The birth of illegitimate children. >It is reported that once Nab Sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam said, "O Muslims, >fear adultery as it has six consequences. Three in this world and three in >the hereafter. As for the worldly consequences; spiritual light from the >face vanishes, life is shortened and a person becomes poverty-stricken. As >for the hereafter; it causes Allh's displeasure, difficult reckoning and it >obligates the punishment of Jahannam." (Kitb-ul- Kabair.) > >The Result of Young People of Marriageable Age who Do Not Get Married When >there is no taq'wa (fear of Allh) in an unmarried person's life, the >passions of such a person are fulfilled in one of the following ways: 1. >Having unlawful relationships with men or women. >2. Having mistresses. >3. Visiting escort agencies and prostitutes. >4. Frequenting clubs or discos. >5. Reading pornographic material. >6. Gazing at women with lust. > > >The Solutions >To make nikh. Nikh in Islm is very simple, easy and full of barakh. If one >cannot make nikh due to some shar' reason, he/she should resort to the >following: 1. Keep fast. >2. Protect the eyes from looking at strange men/women. >3. To avoid mixed gatherings. >4. To have the thought that Allh is at all times watching and aware of your >actions. 5. To refrain from sitting and working in privacy with strange >women. 6. Males should fulfill the rights of their wives i.e. looking after >them. This will prevent women from treading the wrong path. 7. To be wary >of the dictates of the nafs. >8. Women should fulfill their husband's rights and should not make >excessive demands on them. 9. To ask Allh for protection from disobedience. > > >A Youth Seeks Permission to Commit Adultery >A youth (from the outlying regions) came to Nab Sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam >and said: "Please permit me to commit adultery." The Companions of the Nab >Sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam took this very ill and were enraged at his >words; but Nab Sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam said to him: "Come nearer to me. >Would you like anyone to commit adultery with your mother?" He said: "Not >at all." Nab Sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam said: "Then other people will also >never tolerate such a shameful act with their mothers." Then Nab Sallallahu >'alayhi wasallam asked him the same question about his sister, aunt, etc. >And he answered each time in the negative. Then Nab Sallallahu 'alayhi >wasallam put his hand on his chest and >prayed: "O Allh! Purify his heart, forgive his sins and guard him against >adultery." The reporters say that, after this, nothing was more hateful to >him than adultery.
