Twenty-year-old Kareem sat before a Shaykh in the neighborhood mosque after listening to his touching speech about the sweetness of worship. The following dialogue took place between them:
Kareem:As-Salaamu ‘Alaykum, How are you Shaykh? May I talk to you for a short time?
Shaykh:Wa ‘alaykum as-salaamu wa rahmatullaahi wa Barakaatuh.Welcome dear brother, yes of course you can. Go ahead!
Kareem: I have heard many callers to Allaah speak about the rank of loving Allaah The Almighty and that it is among the highest ranks.
Shaykh: Yes, indeed, they have told the truth. It is a rank that people compete to reach and exert great efforts for that, and it is the food of the hearts.
Kareem: Yes, by Allaah, whoever tastes this will know that for sure. However, I want to reach a rank that is higher than that. I hope that Allaah The Almighty loves me and showers me with His Mercy.
Shaykh:Ma shaa’ Allaah.You please me so much with your aspiration and love for your Lord. The rank which you seek was mentioned by Ibn Al-Qayyim, may Allaah have mercy upon him, in his commentary on the verse in which Allaah The Almighty Says )what means(:}Allaah will love you and forgive you your sins.{]Quran 3:31[“Being beloved by Allaah is higher than loving Allaah. It is not loving Allaah that matters, rather, it is being loved by Allaah.”Performing voluntary acts of worship after performing the obligatory acts is one of the ways to reach this hoped-for goal and this precious aim.
Body and soul
Allaah The Almighty created man from body and soul and made for each one of them its sustenance that enables it to be sound and continue to prosper. As we talk about the soul, it is important to know that Allaah The Almighty made many acts of worship permanent and renewable resources for the provision that the soul needs to be purified and to rise above the shackles of sins and the boundaries of the earth. Each act of worship has a different effect from the other; they complete each other and cover all aspects of man’s life especially the life of the youth which is filled with energy, strength and vitality.
Among these acts of worship, there is a great act of worship beloved by the Most-Merciful. It is the foundation of the edifice of faith. The Prophet,sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, repeatedly said about it:“Relieve us with it, O Bilaal!”It is prayer which is rest for the self from the worries of life. If we had talked before about the need of the youth to worship, prayer is a renewable source for spiritual power. Its timings are distributed throughout the day and night to provide continuous and renewed sustenance. While praying, the person throws away the hardships of life to stand submissively and humbly before Allaah The Almighty. He kneels down, prostrates himself, recites and listens to the Quran, glorifies and sanctifies Allaah, seeks His Forgiveness and supplicates Him. Prayer is like an ascension of our souls to Allaah The Almighty; far away from the attractions of the earth and the temptations of life. Which need to worship does prayer fulfill?
Prayer disciplines:
The emptiness of the souls due to their deprivation from the effect of prayer makes them go astray and makes them thirsty to worship Allaah The Almighty, who made the observance of prayer and its timings a serious matter that greatly contributes to quenching the thirst of the youth who need worship. Moreover, it imbues the life of the youth with seriousness and punctuality. Allaah The Almighty Says )what means(:}Indeed, prayer has been decreed upon the believers a decree of specified times.{]Quran 4:103[
Observing these times will result in an important feature of seriousness in the life of the youth especially in the stage of adolescence.
Voluntary prayers:
After perfecting the obligatory prayers which are considered the basis of the building, we move to talk about voluntary prayers which elevate the person in degrees of perfection. Any youth who performs obligatory prayers walks in the way of success. However, the person who performs voluntary prayers is more successful and of a higher degree than him. Here is another feature of prayer because it disciplines the person to seek perfection and master the work to reach the best state. When the person performs the obligatory prayer, he knows that it is not free from defects so he seeks to perfect it by performing voluntary prayers to make up for any shortcomings in his obligatory prayers. Consequently, keenness on performing voluntary prayers is engraved on the heart and mind of the youth; a keenness to reach the highest degrees.
The best evidence:
The best evidence for what is mentioned is that Allaah The Almighty told us about and clarified that whoever does voluntary acts of worship reaches a higher and more elevated degree and rank than the person who does not offer more than the obligatory acts of worship. The person who perfectly performs the obligatory acts of worship loves Allaah The Almighty; whereas the person who further performs voluntary acts of worship is beloved by Allaah. The Prophet,sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said:“Allaah The Almighty Says, ‘…And the most beloved thing with which My slave comes nearer to Me is performing what I made obligatory upon him; and My slave keeps on coming closer to Me through performing voluntary deeds )prayer or doing extra deeds besides what is obligatory( until I Love him. When I Love him I Become his hearing with which he hears, his seeing with which he sees, his hand with which he strikes, and his leg with which he walks; and if he asks )something( from Me, I Give him, and if he asks My Protection, I Protect him.’”]Al-Bukhaari[

Youth, - What Ails Women who Act like Men? - I

Share ::-

We all know that women are protected jewels and are distinguished from men by their softness and gentleness. Islam elevated the status of women and made them equal to men with regard to many rights and duties. The Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said:“Women are peers to men.”However, unfortunately many women do not consider their feminity an asset due to their overriding desires and fancies, and take pleasure in displaying a masculine identity. It is as if they want to say, “Come on! Look at me! I am a tomboy!"
Who are boyish girls or "tomboys" and what prompts them to act in this manner?
Boyish girls or what we call “tomboys” are those girls who imitate men in the way they dress, walk, speak or the way they have their hair cut. This phenomenon has started to spread even in Islamic societies in a marked manner, which compels us to take measures to deal with it.
This phenomenon certainly has causes and can be treated. Most of those girls who violate the innate disposition that Allaah The Almighty has created them with and who abandon their femininity, undoubtedly suffer from psychological problems and feel inferior and should be treated in the correct way.
First, we shall start by stating the ruling of Sharee‘ah )Islamic legislation( on this eccentric behavior.
There are Hadeeths )narrations( that tell us about the punishment for boyish girls, such as:
• Abu Hurayrah, may Allaah be pleased with him, said, “The Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, cursed the man who dresses like a woman and the woman who dresses like a man.”
• ‘Abdullaah ibn ‘Amr, may Allaah be pleased with him, narrated that he heard the Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, saying:“Men who imitate women and women who imitate men do not belong to us.”
• Ibn ‘Abbaas, may Allaah be pleased with him, said: “The Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, cursed the effeminate men and the women who assume a masculine attitude, and he said: ‘Turn them out of your houses.’ The Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, turned out such-and-such man, and ‘Umar, may Allaah be pleased with him, turned out such-and-such man.”
• ‘Abdullaah ibn ‘Umar, may Allaah be pleased with him, narrated that the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said:“Three )types of people( will not enter Paradise and Allaah will not look at them on the Day of Judgment: the one who is undutiful to his parents, the woman who imitates men and the Dayyooth )a man who approves of indecency among his womenfolk(.”
• Ibn Abu Mulaykah, may Allaah have mercy upon him, said, “‘Aa’ishah, may Allaah be pleased with her, was asked about the woman who wears the sandals of men, she replied, ‘The Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, cursed women who assume a masculine attitude.’”
The abovementioned Hadeeths clearly indicate that it is prohibited for men to imitate women and it is also prohibited for women to imitate men. This includes the way of dressing and everything else, except the first Hadeeth, which refers to the way of dressing alone.
These Hadeeths indicate that any woman who imitates men, either in the way she dresses, walks or speaks is cursed. Being cursed means being expelled from the Mercy of Allaah The Almighty and all people will enter Paradise by virtue of the Mercy of Allaah The Almighty, not because of their deeds and acts of worship, even the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, will enter Paradise by the Mercy of Allaah TheAlmighty. Are the "tomboys" of our times in no need of the Mercy of Allaah The Almighty?
Imaam Ath-Thahabi, may Allaah have mercy upon him, said,
Imitating men in the way they dress, walk and the like is one of the grave major sins and the woman who does so is expelled from the mercy of Allaah The Almighty and is cursed by the Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam. Allaah The Almighty will not look at such a woman on the Day of Judgment and she will not enter Paradise. Indeed, this is a grave sin and an awful crime that can only be forgiven by sincere repentance.
Causes and treatment of the phenomenon of boyish girls:
• Lack of faith and fear of Allaah The Almighty: This is because committing sins -- whether major or minor -- is a result of lack of faith and not feeling that Allaah The Almighty Is watching His slaves. The Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said:“The fornicator is not a perfect believer when he commits fornication, and the one who drinks alcohol is not a perfect believer when he drinks, and the thief is not a perfect believer when he commits theft and the one who plunders a valuable thing that attracts the attention of people is not a perfect believer when he commits this plunder.”There is no doubt that the woman who imitates men lacks faith and is tempted by the devil to commit this grave major sin that is prohibited by virtue of more than one authentic Hadeeth.
• Bad upbringing and family negligence: Undoubtedly, people are affected by the surrounding environment and the girl that is brought up in a home whose members do not adhere to the teachings of Islam will not be given a righteous upbringing and will be liable to deviation. It will be easy for her to commit evil deeds, imitate men and so on. Imitating men is one of the forms of deviation as it violates the woman’s innate disposition. Such girls do not have strong faith or a sound upbringing that would prevent them, or a righteous guardian who would deter them and guide them to the right path. Since an early age, girls should be brought up to obey Allaah The Almighty, follow the sound creed and adhere to the manners of Sharee‘ah in order to have strong faith and virtuous morals. The Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said:“The one who is responsible for any of these girls and does good to them will be screened from Hell because of them.”Abu Sa‘eed Al-Khudri, may Allaah be pleased with him, narrated that the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said:“The one who has three daughters or three sisters, or two daughters or two sisters and accompanies them with kindness and fears Allaah regarding them will enter Paradise.”
A noteworthy point is that the girl who lives in a family that has many boys usually behaves in a boyish manner unless the mother pays attention to this matter. If the mother was negligent with her daughter and treated her the same way the she treats her sons without making her feel that she is a girl and without teaching her that she should behave in a different way from her brothers, the girl would behave and act in a boyish manner and would lose bashfulness and gentleness in dealing with people. This is not the fault of the girl but it is definitely the parents’ fault.

Youth, - What Ails Women who Act like Men? - II

Share ::-

• Mass media and blind imitation:
People imitate and internalize what is depicted on television through serials and movies. Such media spreads misleading and deviated ideas that tempt women and encourage them to rebel against religion and sound principles and to reject the guardianship of men, and ask for their "freedom". They also display indecent clothes that are similar to men’s wear in the name of fashion.
Many women are affected by what is presented in the mass media and they consequently rebel against religion, morals and the guardianship of men. They imitate the morals of dissolute women and their attitudes without thinking or distinguishing between good and evil. Hence, women who are dressed and behave like men have emerged in recent times. This is the result of blind imitation and weakness of their personality and as a consequence of not being proud of their religion.
• Bad company:
The Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said:“One adopts the habits and ways of his friend, so be careful with whom you make friends.”Bad companions, undoubtedly, have a great effect on growing girls as they acquire bad qualities and corrupt morals from them. For instance, the girl who accompanies boyish girls is affected by the way they dress or behave, so as not to appear strange or odd among them. Hence, parents should be careful and choose righteous girls who are engaged in beneficial activities such as going to Quran centers and mosques to be the companions of their daughters.
• A feeling of inferiority and the desire to attract attention:
If a girl suffers from lack of friends or feels inferior, she would do anything to attract the attention ofpeople. If a girl’s physical appearance has something that resembles men and as a result, if any of her family or friends mocks her for this, she will have no self-confidence and this will lead her to imitate men. In such cases, parents are advised to be gentle towards girls and shower them with love and compassion so that they would not seek the approval and appreciation of strangers, such as evil-minded people who would corrupt them and take advantage of them.
• Lack of Positive Role Models:
Being around good role models is one of the most important factors that contribute towards righteous upbringing. Sometimes the mother might act in an unfeminine manner herself and her daughters would naturally imitate her as girls usually acquire their personalities from their mothers. For instance, if the mother undermines the authority of her husband and does not respect him, most probably her daughters would not appreciate their husbands either. Similarly, if the mother is loud-mouthed in her speech and raises her voice, her daughter will acquire this attribute. This also applies to imitating men and any other characteristic.
• Lack of protective zeal on the part of her husband or guardian:
Some men do not prevent their women from violating the orders of Allaah The Almighty regarding Hijaab )Islamic covering( and they do not feel any sense of protectiveness even when the women in their guardianship behave improperly. The Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said:“Three )types of people( will not enter Paradise and Allaah will not look at them on the Day of Judgment: the one who is undutiful to his parents, the woman who imitates men and the Dayyooth )a man who approves of indecency among his womenfolk(.”
Aspects of assuming a masculine attitude:
Nowadays, women have started to imitate men in more than one aspect. This imitation is no longer restricted to the way they dress, but it includes many other aspects; some of these are:
• Imitating men in the way they dress: Women have started to wear clothes that are similar to those of men, such as trousers. Abu Hurayrah, may Allaah be pleased with him, said that the Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said:“Cursed is the man who wears the clothes of women and the woman who wears the clothes of men.”Women also imitate men by wearing footwear that are similar to what men wear. ‘Aa’ishah, may Allaah be pleased with her, was asked about the woman who wears the sandals of men, so she said:“The Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, cursed the women who assume a masculine attitude.”
Unfortunately, nowadays, there are many shoes that have unusual shapes that any sensible man would disdain from wearing, nevertheless, many women buy them.
• Intermixing with men in markets and public places: Some women do not feel shy about standing in the same line with men, sitting beside them, especially in shops, or speaking with salesmen as if they were her Mahram )non-marriageable( men.
• Speaking loudly and arguing with men: Some women speak in a loud voice that could be heard by any one even though women are known for their low and gentle voices and it is known that they should avoid speaking with non-Mahram )marriageable( men.
• Imitating men in the way they walk, move and the way they have their hair cut: Some women walk like men in the way they stride and make the same movements of men that show strength and toughness. Some of them have even taken up traditionally male sports like Karate, weightlifting, track and field events and football in an attempt to imitate men.
• Toughness in dealing with others: Some women behave like men with their relatives. They are stubborn; bad tempered and do not talk respectfully or appreciatively with anyone. These qualities are dispraised when they are adopted by men, let alone women.
• Abandoning adornment that is peculiar to women such as Henna and Kuhl. This makes women similar to men in the way they look. ‘Aa’ishah, may Allaah be pleased with her, said, “A woman made a sign from behind a curtain to indicate that she had a letter for the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam. The Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, closed his hand, saying:‘I do not know whether this is a man's or a woman's hand.’ She said, ‘No, a woman.’ He said: ‘If you were a woman, you would have different nails )because of the Henna you apply(.’”
• Refusing the authority of men or the care of the guardian: Some women do not accept to be under the guardianship of a man, but they want absolute freedom without taking permission or consulting their guardian.
Women who assume a masculine attitude and abandon modesty become like a tree that does not have its bark and will soon die. Masculine women speak with anybody about anything, and go everywhere without being bashful. The Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said:“The following statement belonging to the early prophets is from among what the people have retained, ‘If you do not feel shy, then, do whatever you like.’”

Dought & clear, - How soundis the hadeeth, “Give the adulterer the tidings ofpoverty”?

https://m.ak.fbcdn.net/external.ak/safe_image.php?d=AQBm_xXlRF6CFnK1&url=http%3A%2F%2Faydnajimudeen.mywapblog.com%2Ffiles%2F404840-176740995767310-94.jpegHow sound is the hadeeth which says, “Give the adulterer the tidings of poverty, even if it is after a while”? If it is a saheeh hadeeth, can you explain it to me?.
Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly:
The hadeeth with the wording mentioned has no basis, as it was not narrated by any of the scholars of hadeeth and it is not to be found in any of the reliable books of Sunnah.
Al-‘Ajlooni says inKashf al-Khafa’(1/286):
“Give the killer the tidings of killing”. It says inal-Maqaasid: I do not know it, and the well known addition that many people say, “Give the adulterer the tidings of poverty, even if it is after a while”, is also not saheeh, even though reality bears witness to that. End quote.
Shaykh Ahmad al-‘Aamiri said inal-Jadd al-Hatheeth(73) that it is not a hadeeth. End quote.
It says inal-Nukhbah al-Bahiyyah fi Bayaan al-Ahaadeeth al-Makdhoobah‘ala Khayr al-Bariyyah, by Muhammad al-Ameer al-Kabeer al-Maaliki (d. 1228 AH) (p. 43): It is not known. End quote.
There are other ahaadeeth which point to the same meaning, but they are also not saheeh, such as the hadeeth of Ibn ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him), according to which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Zina leads to poverty.”
This was narrated by Abu Haatim, as it says inal-‘Ilal(1/410-411), and by al-Qadaa’i inMusnad al-Shihaab(1/73), Ibn ‘Adiyy inal-Kaamil(6/432) and al-Bayhaqi inShu’ab al-Eemaan(4/363) via al-Maadi ibn Muhammad from Layth ibn Abi Sulaym, from Mujaahid, from Ibn ‘Umar.
Abu Haatim said, after narrating the hadeeth: This is a false (baatil) hadeeth. I do not know Maadi. End quote.
It was mentioned by Ibn Hibbaan inal-Majrooheen(2/237) among the munkar hadeeth of Layth ibn Abi Sulaym.
Ibn ‘Adiyy said inal-Kaamil(8/183): It is not known. Al-Dhahabi said inal-Meezaan(3/423): It is munkar. Al-Albaani said inal-Silsilah al-Da’eefah(140): It is baatil.
See inal-Silsilah al-Da’eefah(1/270-274) other ahaadeeth which describe the evils and negative consequences that result from zina, all of which are mawdoo’ (fabricated) or munkar.
Secondly:
It is well known that sins bring nothing but evil and calamities, as Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“Evil (sins and disobedience to Allaah) has appeared on land and sea because of what the hands of men have earned (by oppression and evil deeds), that He (Allaah) may make them taste a part of that which they have done, in order that they may return (by repenting to Allaah, and begging His Pardon)”
[al-Room 30:41]
“And whatever of misfortune befalls you, it is because of what your hands have earned. And He pardons much”
[al-Shoora 42:30]
Because of sins a person is deprived of provision and goodness, and because of sins the earth is deprived of rain, even if they are minor sins, so how about if they are major sins?
It was narrated that ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him)said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) turned to us and said: “O Muhaajireen, there are five things with which you will be tested, and I seek refuge with Allaah lest you live to see them: Immorality never appears among a people to such an extent that they commit it openly, but plagues and diseases that were never known among the predecessors will spread among them. They do not cheat in weights and measures but they will be stricken with famine, severe calamity and the oppression of their rulers. They do not withhold the zakaah of their wealth, but rain will be withheld from the sky and were it not for the animals no rain would fall on them. They do not break their covenant with Allaah and His Messenger, but Allaah will enable their enemies to overpower them and take some of what is in their hands. Unless their leaders rule according to the Book of Allaah and follow the guidance of Allaah, Allaah will cause them to fight one another.” Narrated by Ibn Majaah (4019) and classed as hasan by al-Albaani.
So it is not unlikely that Allaah may afflict the zaani with poverty, as a punishment for his sin, as he enjoyed pleasure in a manner that was not permissible, so Allaah punishes him by depriving him of wealth and independence of means, and sends poverty and hardship upon him, as a punishment that fits his crime.
Ibn Hibbaan narrated inal-Thiqaat(7/574) via Mak-hool al-Shaami that Ibn ‘Umar said to him: O Mak-hool, beware of zina, for it leads to poverty.
And it was narrated that Asma’ (may Allaah be pleased with her) said: I saw Zayd ibn ‘Amr as an old man, leaning back against the Ka’bah and saying: Woe to you, O Quraysh, beware of zina for it leads to poverty.
This was narrated by Abu Na’eem inMa’rifat al-Sahaabah(8/120 2) and by Ibn ‘Asaakir inTareekh Dimashq(19/512-513). It was also quoted by Ibn Katheer inal-Bidaayah wa’l-Nihaayah(2/241).
Al-Munaawi said inFayd al-Qadeer(4/72):
“Zina leads to poverty” means it is inevitable, because wealth (or independence of means) comes from the bounty of Allaah, and His bounty is bestowed upon those who are content with Allaah and what He gives them. Allaah has made His slaves free of any need to commit zina through that which He has permitted to them of marriage by His bounty. So the one who prefers zina to that has preferred to follow the accursed shaytaan rather than being content with the bounty of Allaah, and if the bounty is lost then independence of means is lost and there comes hardship. So zina leads to loss of blessing. If a person is tested with it and does not give it up and return (to the right way), then let him bid farewell to the blessings of Allaah, for that is a guest that soon departs.
“That is so because Allaah will never change a grace which He has bestowed on a people until they change what is in their ownselves. And verily, Allaah is All-Hearer, All‑Knower”
[al-Anfaal 8:53]
It says in Sharh al-Shihaab: Poverty is of two types: poverty of hand and poverty of heart. The sin of zina takes away and erases the blessing of wealth, because it is ingratitude for the blessing and using it to disobey the One Who granted the blessing, so it takes it away. Then he is tested with poverty of heart because of his weakness of faith, so his heart starts to seek that which it does not have and he is not given patience to bear it, and this is an ongoing punishment. End quote.
Ibn al-Qayyim said inRawdat al-Muhibbeen(360):
Zina includes all kinds of evil: lack of religious commitment, loss of piety, corruption of chivalry, lack of protective jealousy. You will not find any zaani who is pious, or fulfils covenants, or is sincere in speech, or maintains friendships, or has a proper sense of protective jealousy concerning his family.
Treachery, lying, betrayal, lack of modesty, lack of awareness that Allaah is watching, failure to refrain from indulging in haraam, and loss of protective jealousy are all results of zina.
Another result of zina is the wrath of the Lord due to His sacred limits being transgressed and the sanctity of the family being violated. If a man were to do that to some king, he would punish him in the worst manner.
Another result is darkness of the face, and depression and self-hatred, which are obvious to all onlookers.
Another result is darkness of the heart and extinguishing of light from it, which leads to extinguishing of light in the face and darkness therein.
Another result is inevitable poverty. According to a report, Allaah says: “I am Allaah, Who destroys tyrants and make adulterers poor.”
Another result is loss of respect for the one who does it, so that he becomes insignificant before Allaah and before His slaves.
Another result is that he loses the best of qualities, such as chastity, righteousness and good character, and he acquires the opposite, so that he becomes known as an immoral person, evildoer, adulterer and betrayer.
Another result is that he is no longer regarded as a believer, as it was narrated inal-Saheehaynthat the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The adulterer at the time when he is committing adultery is not a believer.” So he loses his faith in a general sense, although he does not lose it altogether. Ja’far ibn Muhammad was asked about this hadeeth and he draw a circle on the ground and said: This is the circle of faith. Then he drew another circle outside it and said: This is the circle of Islam. When a person commits zina he goes out of (the former) but he does not go out of (the latter).
Just because a man has a portion of faith, it does not mean that he can be called a believer, just as if a man has a portion of knowledge and fiqh, he cannot be called a scholar or faqeeh, or if he has a portion of courage or generosity he cannot be called courageous or generous. Similarly, he may have a portion of piety but he cannot be called pious, and so on. The correct view is to take this hadeeth as it appears to be and not try to interpret it otherwise. And Allaah knows best.
Another result is that he exposes himself to becoming one of the inhabitants of the oven in which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) saw adulterers and adulteresses.
Another result is that he ceases to be tayyib (good), as Allaah described those who are chaste, and instead becomes khabeeth (bad), as Allaah describes those who commit zina, as Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):“Bad statements are for bad people (or bad women for bad men) and bad people for bad statements (or bad men for bad women). Good statements are for good people (or good women for good men) and good people for good statements (or good men for good women)” [al-Noor 24:26].
Allaah has forbidden Paradise to everyone who is khabeeth (bad, evil); rather He has made it an abode for the good, and no one but good people will enter it. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“Those whose lives the angels take while they are in a pious state (i.e. pure from all evil, and worshipping none but Allaah Alone) saying (to them): Salaamun ‘Alaikum (peace be on you) enter you Paradise, because of that (the good) which you used to do (in the world)”
[al-Nahl 16:32]
“and its keepers will say: Salaamun ‘Alaykum (peace be upon you)! You have done well, so enter here to abide therein”
[al-Zumar 39:73]
They only deserve the greeting of the angels and admission to Paradise because of their goodness, but zina is one of the most evil of actions, and Allaah has made Hell the abode of evil and evil people. When the Day of Resurrection comes, He will separate evil from good, and He will put evil all together, then throw it and its people into Hell. No good person will enter Hell and no evil person will enter Paradise.
Another result is the sense of alienation which Allaah casts into the heart of the zaani, and it is akin to the alienation that appears in his face. The chaste person has sweetness in his face and comfort in his heart, and the one who sits with him feels comfortable with him. But the zaani has alienation in his face and the one who sits with him feels uncomfortable with him.
Another result is lack of respect from his family, companions and others. He is the least significant of things in their eyes, unlike the chaste man, who is respected and liked.
Another result is that people regard him as treacherous, and no one will trust him with regard to his womenfolk or children.
Another result is the odour that emanates from him and is smelled by everyone who has a sound heart; it comes from his mouth and body.
Another result is anxiety, because adulterers get the opposite of what they seek. The one who seeks the pleasures and good things of life by doing that which Allaah has forbidden will be punished with the opposite of what he sought, because that which is with Allaah can only be attained by obeying Him. Allaah never makes disobedience to Him the means of attaining goodness. If the evildoer understood what pleasure, joy, delight and good living there is in chastity, he would think that what he has missed out on of pleasure is many times greater than that which he has attained, let alone the ultimate achievement of attaining the reward and honour of Allaah.
Another result is that he exposes himself to missing out on the enjoyment of al-hoor al-‘iyn in delightful abodes in the Paradise of ‘Adn (Garden of Eden). We have stated above that Allaah will punish the one who wears silk in this world by depriving him of wearing it on the Day of Resurrection, and He will punish the one who drinks wine in this world by depriving him of it on the Day of Resurrection. Similarly, in the case of the one who seeks haraam forms of pleasure in this world, for everything that he got in this world, if it was available in a permissible form, his share of it on the Day of Resurrection will be reduced, and whatever he got in haraam ways will be reduced on the Day of Resurrection.
Another result is that zina leads to severing of family ties, disobedience towards parents, haraam earnings, wronging people and loss of one’s wife and family, and it may led to shedding of blood that it is not permissible to shed, or seeking help by means of witchcraft and shirk, whether he realizes it or not. This sin can only be committed if it is accompanied by other sins, beforehand or alongside it, and it generates other sins that come after it. It is surrounded by a legion of sins that come before it and after it, and it is the action that brings the most evil in this world and in the Hereafter and prevents the most goodness in this world and in the Hereafter. Once a person falls into the trap of this sin, no advice will benefit him and no one can save him from it, and the blessings of Allaah will soon depart from him. Anyone who commits this sin may bid farewell to the blessings of Allaah.
Allaah says:
“That is so because Allaah will never change a grace which He has bestowed on a people until they change what is in their ownselves. And verily, Allaah is All-Hearer, All‑Knower”
[al-Anfaal 8:53]
“But when Allaah wills a people’s punishment, there can be no turning back of it, and they will find besides Him no protector”
[al-Ra’d 13:11]

And Allaah knows best.
