In the Name of Allaah,
the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.
Allah
(Exalted be He) says “And do not even go close to Zina! Truly, it is a gross
obscenity and an evil path (to go down).” [al-Quran, 17:32]
Generally,
when Islam prohibits a thing it closes all the avenues that lead to it and the
case of Zina is not an exception. But the courage to do what Allaah demands
from us comes from how much knowledge we have of Allaah.
There is no sin greater
than Zina apart from shirk and killing an innocent soul has explicitly stated
by Allaah in Qur'an 25:68 "And those who do not invoke with Allah
another deity or kill the soul which Allah has forbidden, except by right, and
do not commit Zina and whoever does this shall receive the punishment "
Mothers are so honored
not only because of the pains of labor and the love they show to their children
but also because of their patience in giving birth to their children in a
wedlock rather than through illegitimate means.
With all the Clemency
of Allaah yet when it comes to the issue of flogging or stoning an adulterer
and adulteress to death, He says let not pity withhold you in their case simply
because the evil of Zina is wide spreading.
If we don't fear Allaah,
Allaah will not hesitate to punish us.
Abdullah ibn Mas'ud
(RA) said "If a woman knows the (consequences) of Zina, she would not
accept this world and all its contents to commit Zina"
Yet, Imam Shafi'i said
"Zina is a debt and those that will pay on your behalf are your
daughters." Imam Shafi'i : "
He further said that if
you paid to commit zina, when it comes to payback time, people will commit zina
with your daughters for free.
How many Zina is taking
place in our shores today that it has become the order of the day.
And the great student of
Ibn Taymiyah, Ibn al-Qayyim in "ad daa wa ad dawa" said:
"It is better to be
told that your daughter has been assassinated than be told that someone has
committed Zina with her."
A child that comes out
from the womb that once received the sperm of Zina, will lose human passion and
affection." Ibn Qayyim
Could this be related to
the most rebellion among children towards their parents and siblings with no
compassion today? I hope not.
A scholar said a woman
that commits Zina will lose her value and charisma in front of her husband even
if he does not know about the Zina and same holds true for the men also.
Yet another scholar
said: "No one belittles Allaah more than an adulterer because he fears to
be seen by the parents of the woman yet he doesn't fear the Gaze of Allaah.
If Zina has become the
order of the day, then the nation has legitimized her own destruction.
Run away from Zina.
It is more comforting to
the heart to receive the death of one's mother than receive the news that she
has been raped.
Zina is so appalling
that no one wants it to be committed with any female relative of his, why then
are people being insensitive by committing it with other people's female relatives?
Let's fear Allaah and
destroy the path and traces of Zina.
A man or a woman can't
commit Zina without having all their connections with Allaah and His Prophet
cut off at that time. A very disturbing consequence.
The Prophet (Pbuh) thus
warned us against marrying adulterers and adulteresses.
Oh My sisters, the
moment you realized that someone is uncultured...don't even smile with him
because he will snatch away your dignity and will taint the history of your
children unborn.
Abu Hurayrah (RA) at
the later part of his life used to ask Allaah to protect him from Zina, and
someone said to him: ' but you enjoyed the companionship of the Prophet
(Pbuh)" he said "how can I feel secured from zina when Satan is still
alive?"
"And whoever does
evil or wrongs himself but afterwards seeks Allaah's Forgiveness, he will find
Allah Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." Q4:110
May Allaah forgive our
hidden and apparent sins and save us and our families from Zina.
