WATCHING/SHARING PORNOGRAPHY AS A MUSLIM IS A DISASTER FOR OUR EEMAAN (FAITH)

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawmul Ahad. 2nd day of RabeeulAwwal, 1445AH (Sunday, 17th September, 2023).

 *_WATCHING/SHARING PORNOGRAPHY AS A MUSLIM IS A DISASTER FOR OUR EEMAAN (FAITH)_*. BismilLah.

On every Friday we hear the Imam conclude his khutbah(friday sermon) by reciting the following verse of the Quran:

"InnaAllah Yamuru bil adel, wal ehsane, wa itae zil qurba; wa yanha anilfuhshae, wal munkari walbaghi; yaizukhum la'allakum yatazakkaroon. "Surely ALLAH enjoins justice, kindness and the doing of good, to kith and kin; and He forbids all that is shameful, indecent, evil, rebellious and oppressive." Quran 16:90.

Pornography and the culture of pornography has all the three elements which ALLAH has prohibited in the above verse of the Quran: Fahsha; Munkar, baghi. Here is a bit of terminology:

Fahsha is obscenity, vulgarity, indecency, shamelessness and something that is dirty, filthy, foul and fornication. All scholars agree pornography is included in the term Fahsha.

Al-Munkar means gross, abominable, detestable, atrocious, outrageous, flagrant. As a major Quranic term it means something which is universally acknowledged as bad and immoral. This category includes all evils which have been unanimously condemned by the human conscience and which have been forbidden by Divine Law in all ages.

Al-Baghi means wrong, injustice, outrage, and transgression. Al-Baghi in the Quranic terminology means transgression and trespassing into the space and the rights of others. The pornographic industry trespasses on the rights of women especially by turning them into sex objects. May ALLAH protect us and our offspring from such satanic influences.

*_May ALLAH (Azza Wa Jal, The Mighty and the Majestic) accept our little efforts_*. Aameen.
