The Curse of Allah

.....................................................................................................................

Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) had said : “Allah curses the one who looks and the one at whom the gaze is directed (i.e. the one who was responsible for attracting the attention of a ghair-mahram).”

The La`nah (curse) of Allah is no trivial and insignificant matter to be taken in the light-hearted manner we do. A person tagged with the label of the ‘La`nah’ of Allah is denied His Mercy, deprived of His proximity and severely disgraced, until he repents thereof and makes every endeavour not to indulge in such Haraam pleasure.

Added to this, when a person commits the sin of zina (adultery/ fornication) then he compounds his misfortune. The precious and priceless entity of Imaan is then expelledfrom his heart. (May Allah protect us all.)

Hazrat Anas narrated that Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) had said : “Imaan is a garb with which Allah clothes whomsoever He wishes. If a person commits adultery, this garb is snatched away and if he repents, it is again returned.”

This much said, should be more than sufficient for a Mu`min.

Don’t be alone with any ghair-mahram. Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) had said: “No man is alone with a strange woman, but Shaytaan is the third among them.”

Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) had also mentioned : “Do not enter on strange women (i.e. women not lawful), for verily, Shaytaan moves in any one of you like the movement of blood (in your veins).”

In fact, Shaytaan, himself, tendered the following advice to Hazrat Musa (‘Alaihis Salaam) : “Beware of sitting with a woman to whom you are not related. I am her messenger to you and your messenger to her.”

Shaytaan whispers and creates suggestions in the mind and heart. His encouragement could then lead to a greater sin.

The Western norm of employing young, beautiful, attractive secretaries, receptionists, etc. with whom bosses, managers, directors, doctors, etc. are in seclusion with, so often in their offices, has seen large numbers of them involved in illicit relationships.

Having followed yet another cancerous inclination of the West, many Muslims have also fallen prey to the same illicit love affairs in associating with the ghair mahram women they employ.

If due to circumstances beyond one’s control, a person has to work in such an environment where there is much intermingling of sexes, then one should exercise greater precaution, lest one should slip…Where the ground is slippery, even an elephant can slip.
