Ittiba e Shahawat

Book Name:Ittiba e Shahawat

In Ayah 27 of Surah An-Nisa, part 5, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has stated:

وَ اللّٰهُ یُرِیْدُ اَنْ یَّتُوْبَ عَلَیْكُمْ- وَ یُرِیْدُ الَّذِیْنَ یَتَّبِعُوْنَ الشَّهَوٰتِ اَنْ تَمِیْلُوْا مَیْلًا عَظِیْمًا(۲۷)

Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: And Allah wills to turn towards you with His mercy; but those who indulge in their own pleasures wish that you stay far away from the Straight Path. (Part 5, Surah An-Nisa, verse 27)

(Tafseer Durr-e-Mansoor, pp. 526)

The contextual background of the abovementioned Ayah is that non-Muslims would consider it Halal to perform Nikah with the daughters of their brothers and sisters. When Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ made it Haraam to perform Nikah with them, they started saying to Muslims: The way you consider it permissible to perform Nikah with maternal and paternal aunt’s daughters though the aunts are Haraam for you, similarly, perform Nikah with the brother and sister’s daughters too. Upon that the abovementioned Ayah was revealed saying that these people also want you to start committing fornication like them.

(Madarik, Surah An-Nisa, Taht-al-Ayah: 27, pp. 223)

Dear Islamic sisters! Have you heard how Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has condemned those who satisfy their desires! Such people will be put into the valley of Hell namely, Ghayy. Similarly, in another blessed Ayah, hypocrites have been condemned because they were disgraced due to satisfying desires and now, due to malice and enmity, they want Muslims to fall into this evil habit too.

Dear Islamic sisters! If we want to follow Islamic teachings after getting rid of fashion, want to live our lives as per Sunnah after giving up love for fashion, want our reformation and Madani Tarbiyyat for our children and want to give them the mind-set of pondering over the Hereafter from their childhood, we have to associate [ourselves] with the Madani environment of Dawat-e-Islami. اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ, by virtue of the blessing of this Madani environment, countless lovers of fashion and lovers of western culture have repented and started following Sunnahs.
