ALLAH (The Most Great) says in Aayah 119 of Surah Taubah: “O Believers fear ALLAH and be with those who are truthful.” To fear ALLAH means to avoid sins at all cost and to make sincere repentance and seek forgiveness from ALLAH all the time.  Along with fearing ALLAH, this Aayah also commands to be with the people who are truthful, i.e., who always speak the truth, who at heart are truthful and whose actions reflect their belief in truth. A person, who is living in an immoral or unethical environment, may ask a question: “How to build a barrier against sins and be safe from their influence.” Listen to what our beloved Messenger of ALLAH (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) once said before I answer this question.

And also our forefathers?”* The same is mentioned (in Surah Al-Mumenoon [23] verse 82), *“They said: When we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we be resurrected indeed?”* The people who died thousands of years ago, whose bodies have disintegrated into particles and mixed in the dust, whose bones decayed and were scattered away by the winds, some of whom were burnt to ashes, others consumed by the beasts, still, others drowned in the seas and swallowed by fish; the disbelievers questioned on how the material constituents of their bodies shall be re-assembled and everyone raised as the same...

 ﷽🔞🔞🔞  Guidelines To Intimacy In Islam Episode 38 Love Bites Biting or sucking hard on one's spouse's body can leave marks, or love bites, particularly on the neck. These bruises are the result of burst blood vessels beneath the skin and last between 4 to 5 days, depending on the individual. From an Islamic perspective, public display of affection is not permitted. Likewise,  anything that hints at a sexual encounter is frowned upon. Islam emphasises modesty and dignity, and prohibits acts that could lead to immorality.  'Sayyiduna 'Abdullāh Ibn 'Umarrelates that Rasulullaah صلى الله عليه وسلم passed by a man of the Ansaaar who was reprimanding his brother regarding shyness (Hayaa), so Rasulullaah صلى الله عليه وسلم said: "Leave him, for modesty is from faith (Imaan)."

You think by taking out and doing filth with many women is a sign of your manhood? You think by dressing up and wearing make-up and disregarding the Hijab is a *sign of your woman-hood?* Wrong. It is only a sign of your lack of Taqwa and standing with Allah ﷻ. It does not take away from the might of Allah ﷻ that you sinned.  Nor does it add to it. Wallahi, if the whole world did Shirk, this would not decrease Allah ﷻ in any way. Some people, they sin and they sin, and then afterwards they feel too guilty to turn back and so they carry on. Some people don't even admit what they do is wrong and they carry on!  But it takes a real man and a real woman to stop sinning and prostrate before his/her Creator begging for mercy and admitting his/her weaknesses and begging for forgiveness.
