بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم

Imagine the Day of Judgment. It is the hottest day. The sun will come closer to the people. Every person will sweat according to the sins they commit in this world. There is no shade anywhere. No tree, no building, no cloud.

On that day, there is only one shade: The Shade of Allah (swt).

Who will get this shade?

The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “There are seven whom Allah will shade on a day when there is no shade but His. They are a just ruler, a youth who grew up in the worship of Allah, one whose heart is attached to the mosques, two who love each other for the sake of Allah, a man who is tempted by a beautiful woman of high status but he rejects her, saying , ‘I fear Allah,’ and one who spends in charity and hides it such that his right hand does not know what his left hand has given (that's nobody knows about it), and one who remembered Allah in private and he wept.” 📚Source: S‌ah‌i‌h‌ al-Bukha‌ri‌ 660, S‌ah‌i‌h‌ Muslim 1031

The fifth group according to the above hadith is "A man who is called by a beautiful, high-status woman for sin, and he says, 'I fear Allah.'"

Most prophetic statements usually uses "He" even where they refer to all sexes. Therefore, this also means: A woman who is called by a man for sin. But she says, "I fear Allah," and she says NO.

This "NO" starts with your EYES.

This is not just about lying down with someone. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said Zina (forbidden sex) is done by many body parts. Yes. He said:

"The Zina of the eye is the lustful look, the Zina of the ears is the listening to voluptuous songs or talk, the Zina of the tongue is the licentious speech, the Zina of the hand is touching what is not yours, the Zina of the feet is the walking to the place where he or she intends to commit Zina" 📚[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

So, this is for you, brother:

When you look at a woman who is not your wife or mahram—online on a screen, or offline in the street—and you look at her body, her shape, what she wears under her clothes and what's inside her brazier... that is the Zina of the eyes. Allah (swt) sees you. The angel writes it. On Judgment Day, your own eyes will say what you did. You will feel a shame so deep you will wish the ground swallowed you.

The first look is an accident. Your eyes see something. It happens. The second look is a choice.

But,

If you look away from a beautiful stranger for Allah, and say in your heart "I fear Allah," you close the website or lower your gaze—you are running to Allah's Shade.

And this is for you, sister:

When you look at a man who is not your husband or mahram with desire... or when you dress or act online/offline to make strange men look at you with desire... THIS is also the Zina of the eyes and the heart (with you having the lion share of sins. Yes. Your beauty is for your husband, or saved for your future husband, protected by Allah (swt) but you chose to give it to the general public free-of-charge. Please do not give it away for nothing.

My People,

Here is the hope. Yes. When you lower your gaze for Allah, when you close that website and say "I fear Allah," when you turn your face away from a stranger for Allah (swt)... You are writing your name on the list for Allah's Shade.

So,

Run from the look of sin, so you can be accepted to the Shade of your Lord.
