Beautifully narrated by Hazrat Maulana Yunus Patel Saheb (RA), the story, together with the discussion, refreshes our commitment to Allah Ta’ala, creates an earnest inclination to repent from all sins, engenders deep hearted hope in the Mercy of Allah Ta’ala, and increases one’s appreciation and gratitude for His Kindness and Forgiveness.

EXTRACT FROM THE BOOK:


"Whilst evil gazes are just that – evil – its “sequel”, its “follow-up”, is generally pornography. Many more write that they are hooked to porn films and porn magazines. They fall for the bait which shaytaan tempts them with.

When a fisherman catches a fine fish, he reels it in. He does not throw it back into the sea. Once it is hooked, once it is caught, it is pulled out – why? Because fish out of water, when scaled and washed, when ‘masaalaad ’ and fried, taste nice.

The Believer makes a fine catch for shaytaan.
Do we want to become that meal for shaytaan?

Because that is exactly what happens to the heart of the Believer who dashes for the bait of sins : His Imaan is ‘scaled’, his good deeds are ‘washed away’, his heart and soul are marinated in darkness and finally fried in the fire of restlessness – to the delight of shaytaan. Allah Ta’ala forbid that that soul has to also contend with the fire of Hell…

On the one hand, in this story, we see a young Sahabi, whose gaze falls onto a woman and he immediately turns his gaze away. On the other hand, we find so many today, who want to gaze and derive Haraam pleasure from nudity and pornography.

A few years ago, a person forwarded some statistics to me, which was taken from some periodical. Strangely, amongst various facts and figures in that list, was the statistic, that 9 million men in Britain alone, downloaded pornography, and over 1 million women in Britain did the same. And the increase was 30 % since the previous survey. اِنَّا لِلّٰهِ وَ اِنَّا اِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُوْن

This was in respect to one small little country in the world. Apply it to the entire world – and we see a very, very sick society of men and women. And many Muslims do not lag behind when it comes to being part of that number, part of the statistic..."

I read recently that ponography and the actions that go with it, deplete the energy of men, and can lead to health problems and other performance issues. Next time anyone gets the urge to watch porn, think about all the energy you are wasting and the harm you are causing to your own life and body. It is harmful.

Wonderful incentives : An Inspiring extract

Lowering the Gaze

Allah Ta’ala addresses the believing men and women :

قُلْ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ يَغُضُّوْا مِنْ أَبْصَارِهِمْ وَيَحْفَظُوْا فُرُوْجَهُمْ ط ذٰلِكَ أَزْكٰى لَهُمْ ط
إِنَّ اللّٰهَ خَبِيْرٌ بِمَا يَصْنَعُوْنَ

“Tell the Believing men to lower their gaze
(from looking at that which is Haraam) And to be modest
(i.e. to protect themselves from prohibited deeds like adultery and fornication).That is purer for them.
Verily Allah is Aware of what they do.”

وَقُلْ لِّلْمُؤْمِنٰتِ يَغْضُضْنَ مِنْ أَبْصَارِهِنَّ وَيَحْفَظْنَ فُرُوْجَهُنَّ

“And tell the Believing women to lower their gaze
(from looking at that which is forbidden)
And to be modest (i.e. to protect themselves from prohibited deeds like adultery, fornication, etc.) …”
[Surah Nur 24 : 29/ 30]
Imam Ghazali (رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ) had given a remarkable commentary in regards to this Divine Command of lowering the gaze, explaining that the words “ذٰلِكَ أَزْكٰى لَهُمْ ط ’ (…that is purer for them…) alludes to purification, since the word zakaat means purification.


In addition, lowering the gaze may also be the cause of increasing and multiplying one’s good deeds, because zakaat similarly means an increase.

Accordingly, restraining the gaze from Haraam becomes the means whereby the heart is purified and whereby the Muslim increases in righteous actions. سُبْحَانَ الله


In a Hadeeth mentioned in Mishkaat Shareef, Rasulullah (Sallallaahu 'alayhi waSallam) said : “When anyone’s eyes fall on a pretty girl and he immediately casts his gaze away from her, Allah grants him the Divine Guidance towards such worship, the ecstasy of which he feels in himself.”

In a Hadeeth-e-Qudsi, Allah Ta’ala says : “Verily evil glancing is an arrow from the poisonous arrows of shaytaan. Whosoever fears Me (Allah) and refrains from it will receive from Me such Imaan, the sweetness of which he will taste (feel) in his heart.”


Contemplating these wonderful rewards truly offers a boost to one’s courage, as well as great incentive to restrain oneself from evil gazes.
