The Reward of Chastity

 

Qur'anic verses:

 

{But she in whose house he was, sought to seduce him and she fastened the doors, and said: "Now come, he said: "Allah forbid![1] Truly (your husband) is my lord! He made my sojourn agreeable! Truly to no good come those who do wrong.}

Do Not Approach Adultery

 

Qur’anic verses:

 

{Nor come night to adultery: for it is an indecent (deed) and an evil way.}

[Al-Isra':32]

 

{And the servants of (Allah) most gracious are those who walk in the earth in humidity, and when the ignorant address them, they say, "peace! Those who spend the night in adoration of their lord prostrate and standing; those who say, "Our Lord! avert from us the Wrath of Hell, for its Wrath is indeed an affliction grievous,­ "Evil indeed is it as an abode, and as a place to rest in"; those who, when they spend, are not extravagant and not niggardly, but hold a just (balance) between those (extremes); those who invoke not, with Allah, any other god, nor commit fornication; -and any that does this (not only) meets punishment (but) the chastisement on the day of judgement will be doubled to him, and he will dwell therein in ignominy.}

[Al-Furqan: 63-69]

 

 

Prophetic Hadiths:

 

Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) related that he asked the Prophet (pbuh), What is the most heinous sin in the sight of Allah?" The Prophet (pbuh) replied, "To hold that Allah has an equal whereas he has created you". I asked, “What else? The Prophet, (pbuh) said, To kill your child lest he feeds with you. The man asked, "What else? He said, "To commit adultery with your neighbor's wife.

[Reported by Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

 

A Muslim's blood is only lawful in three cases: an adulterer, a murderer or an apostate.

[Reported by Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

 

There are three people to whom Allah, the most high will not talk, nor will he absolve them of sins nor look at them: an aged person guilty of adultery, a king who lies and a poor beggar who is proud.

[Reported by Muslim]

 

"Once a young man came to the Prophet (pbuh) asking permission for committing fornication. The people, then, started to rebuke him and said, "shush, shush." Then he asked him, “Do you like it for your mother?” “No may Allah make me a sacrifice for you”, the man replied. “So are people.” the Prophet asked again, “Do you like it for your daughter?” No may Allah make me a sacrifice for you,” the man replied. "So are people." The Prophet (pbuh) commented. The Prophet asked once more, “Do you like it for your sister'?" the man replied “No may Allah make me a sacrifice for you.” The Prophet (pbuh) commented. “So are people.” The Prophet (pbuh) eventually asked, “Do you like it for your aunt?” The man replied" No may Allah make me a sacrifice for you.” The Prophet (pbuh) commented, so are people." Whereupon the Prophet (pbuh) placed his hand upon him and said, "O Allah! May you forgive his sins, purify his heart and make him chaste. The young man did not pay attention to any thing else thereafter.

        [Reported by Al-Hakim]

 

"An adulterer[2] is not a believer at the time of committing adultery, thief is not a believer at the time of committing theft and a drunkard is also not a believer at the time of drinking as long as they have the opportunity to repent."

[Reported by Al-Bukhari]

 

 

 

Sexual Relation in Paradise

 

Prophetic Hadiths:

 

The believer will have a tent of a vacuum pearl, the length of which is thirty miles. He will also have wives with whom he has sexual intercourse, yet they never meet one another.

[Reported by Bukhari]

 

"In paradise, the believer will be provided with sexual ability equal to such and such.” Anas asked, "Could he endure that, Messenger of Allah?" the Prophet said, “he will be as strong as a hundred.”

                        [Reported by Tirmidhi]

 

Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the Messenger of Allah saying, "O Messenger of Allah! Will we approach our wives in Paradise? The Prophet (pbuh) answered, "The man will approach a hundred virgin a day.”

[Reported by Tabarani]

 

Laqit Al-`Aquiliy asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Will we have righteous wives therein?” He said “the righteous men will be for the righteous women. You will give pleasure to each other without childbirth.

    [Reported by Tabarani and Al- Hakim]

 

Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) also related, “I asked the Prophet (pbuh),” will we have sexual intercourse in Paradise? The Prophet (pbuh) answered, “by whom in whose hand is my soul! It will be very tense. Yet as soon as he finishes she returns virgin again.”

[Reported by Ibn Hibban]

 

No sooner do the people of paradise have sexual intercourse with their wives, then the wives return virgin again.

Repentance

 

Qur’anic verses:

 

{Those who invoke not, with Allah, any other God, nor slay such life as Allah has made sacred, except for just cause, nor commit fornication: -and any that does this (not only) meets punishment (but) the chastisement on the day of judgement will be doubled to him, and he will dwell therein in ignominy, unless he repents believes, and works righteous deeds, for Allah will change the evil of such persons into good, and Allah is off- forgiving, most -merciful.}

                             [Al -Furqan: 67: 70]

 

Prophetic Hadiths:

 

Allah becomes pleased with the repentance of his bondman greater than one who missed his beast with his food and drink while crossing the desert.     That man became despondent and resorted to the shade or a tree and slept. Meanwhile, he found his beast standing beside him. Then he took its bridle and said,” O Allah! You are my bondman and I am your lord .He made a mistake out of excessive Joy.

[Reported by Muslim]

 

 

[1] Many stories have been recounted about some young men who suppressed their desires and whims for the sake of Allah. For example, one day Umar Ibn Al -Khattab, a Muslim caliphate, heard while walking at night a woman voice praising the beauty of a young man called Nasr Ibn Hajjaj. The young man was not with her and he does not know her. She composed and sang the following poetic lines:

Would I drink wine

Or meet Nasr Ibn Hajjaj

Who has a good family line

And he is lovely and generous

Umar, when hearing that, said, "By Allah I do not want to have a man about whom women say such words at his absence. In the morning he sent for him. Having seen him he noticed that he is very handsome. Umar commanded him to leave the town so as not to allure women unintentionally. Thus, Umar banished him to Syria.

 

[2] When Ja'far Ibn Muhammad was asked about the Hadith, he drew two circles on earth and said, "These are the circles of faith and Islam. When one commits adultery, he leaves the circle of faith and moves to that of Islam.

In addition to the punishment awaiting for those who commit adultery, there are also many kinds of repercussions of adulterer health in this world, that may lead to one's non-fertility and impotence. In his book, "Sexual Knowledge," Dr. Adams said, "During my work, I met many sexy old people whose sexual ability is as strong as young men. I asked them about the reason behind such abnormal vitality. they said, "this is because of the following factors:

(1) They did not addict to masturbation while young men.

(2) They did not approach abomination while men

(3) When they married, they did not exaggerate in the sexual relations with their wives nor did they abandon them.

(4) They did not smoke, drink alcohol or drugs.

(5) They did not use any sexual stimulators.
