Recognition of a perfect believer

Dear Islamic brothers! Remember! Unlawful gazing destroys a person’s world and the Hereafter both. A person commits more and more disobedience to Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ due to it. Satan occupies his heart and mind all the time. He suffers from a strange feeling of restlessness. He is overcome with Nafsani (carnal) desires and thoughts. In order to satisfy his Nafs he commits deadly sins further such as fornication, etc., and destroys his youth himself. If the one who gazes unlawfully learns that someone is gazing unlawfully at his mother, sister, wife or daughter, his sense of honour gets provoked and he speaks rudely to him after being mad with fury. Sometimes he even starts fighting with him and sometimes he even kills him. And thus the enmity between both the families continues for many years and many lives are lost, many children are left orphans, many women become widows and many men spend their lives disgracefully in prison for many years. But when he himself gazes unlawfully or intends to commit fornication, why does he forget that time that the one who he is gazing at or with whom he intends to do wrong, is also someone’s mother, sister, wife or daughter? Let’s listen to an admonitory parable about it and get Madani pearls of admonition.

Repentance of a young man     

It is stated on page 5 of the book, ‘Hamayn kiya ho gaya hay?’ published by the publishing department of Dawat-e-Islami, Maktaba-tul-Madinah: Once blessed companions عَـلَيْهِمُ الرِّضْوَانْ were being blessed with the sacred view of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم in the blessed court of Mustafa, a handsome young man came and humbly said: ‘Ya Rasoolallah صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! Grant me permission for fornication.’ All the blessed companions
 عَـلَيْهِمُ الرِّضْوَانْ present there were astonished at this fearlessness. They started rebuking him for not taking care of the manners of the blessed court of Nubuwwah. The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم asked them not to say anything to the young man and said: ‘Let him come near to me.’ The young man came close without taking care of the sensitive situation. He صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم seated him beside himself and then presented him the call towards righteousness very politely and affectionately.
