A Lustful Gaze?

A Lustful Gaze?whats wrong with it.

Many of us who are used to watching Sinbad or Temptation Island, or are addicted to Bollywood movies, or enjoy the company of people of opposite gender, may wonder what’s wrong with lustfully staring at the attractive features of the opposite gender? Perhaps one saying of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) sums it all:

“The furtive glance is one of the poisoned arrows of Shaytan, on him be God's curse. Whoever forsakes it for the fear of Allah, will receive from Him (Great and Gracious is He) a faith, the sweetness of which he will find within his heart.” (al-Haakim.)

Therefore, a secret lustful look at a person of opposite gender has been compared by the Prophet (pbuh) to an arrow from Shaytan that:​

• poisons our hearts :angryred:
• ruins our intentions
• gives rise to false hopes and desires
• distorts our perception of 'reality' ::shymuslima1:
• deprives us from enjoying and concentrating in Prayers
• gives rise to constant feeling of guilt and depression:shymuslima1:
• sometimes leads to sleepless nights
• renders our heart weak for continuous Shaytanic attacks :angryred:
• promotes hypocrisy
• weakens our memory
• eventually leads to Zina (adultery) :astag:
• above all, diminishes our love for and fear of Allah:astag::astag

Allah commands us: "Say to the believing men that they should lower their gaze and guard their private parts; that will make for greater purity for them..." [24:30.] In the verse following this one, Allah commands “the believing women” in the similar manner.

5 Secret Benefits Of Jihad Against Temptation

5 Secret Benefits Of Jihad Against Temptation


[*]Perhaps the greatest secret reward of resisting the temptation is the increase in your Faith (Iman), the sweetness of which could only be sensed by you! This empowering force of renewed Iman will help you suppress the desires in unimaginable ways. :tti_sister:
[*]Right when you are urged, if you remember Allah’s mercy, commandments, and displeasure, He will make it easy for you to get out of the situation without regrets, stress, or pain. Allah reassures us: “And the one who fears Allah (has Taqwa), He will make a way out.” [65: 2.]
*]It will also have a remarkable impact on your character, since the heart is like a mirror and the base desires are like rust upon it. When the mirror is polished and cleansed of the rust, it reflects the realities as they actually are. Your family and friends will see the difference! :arabi1:
[*]Frequent gazing at unlawful scenes of sexuality tire and wear down both the heart and the eyes. The heart becomes ‘bored’ and depressed:angryred: after a while. However, when your eyes are prevented from looking around, the heart finds relief from the arduous task of vainly desiring something it does not possess.:holaaa:
[*]As the Prophet once said to his Companion: “By Allah! Whosoever gives up something for the sake of Allah, Allah will replace it with something better than it!" If you remain patient in this world, Allah will bless you with joys in ways you could never imagine![/
