THE MESSAGE
THE HARMS Of CASTING EVIL GLANCES

by Moulana Shah Hakeem Muhammad Akhtar Saheb

In this day and age, due to the shamelessness and immodesty which has been spread through Pornography, TV, VCR, Internet, Cell Phone, Cinema, etc., so many people's lives have been destroyed. Young people have ruined their youth in illicit sexual intercourse and masturbation. Life-life marriages have been broken due to unlawful love affairs. On a social level, society is plagued with problems such as rape, prostitution, child molestation and pedophile, homosexuality, AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases.

The question arises as to what is the root of all these problems. May Allah Ta'ala reward our Masha'ikh and pious predecessors, who look at the world with the eye of the heart, enlightened by the light of the Qur’aan, Hadith and the burning love of Allah Ta’ala. They have diagnosed all these sickness to be brought about by one deadly disease. The root of all these problems is the SIN OF THE EYES, casting evil glances, looking at the opposite or same sex with lustful gazes.

Unfortunately today, people do not even consider casting evil glances to be a sin, when in actuality it is the root of innumerable vices and sins. Another reality which people are totally unaware of is that by protecting one's eyes from lustful glances, one is promised the taste of the sweetness of Imaan. Once the sweetness of Imaan enters the heart, it will never be taken back. Thus by protecting the eyes, one is given grad tidings of a good death. Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) said: "Verily the evil glance is a poisonous arrow from the arrows of Iblees. He who abstains from casting evil glances, I will grant him such Imaan, that he will feel the sweetness of it in his heart". (Narrated by Ibn Mas’ud in Tabarani and Kanzul-Ummaal; Vol. 5, pg. 228),
(Ibn Katheer; Surra Nur, Ayat 30)

Hafiz ibn Katheer (RA) mentions in his Tafseer: "He who protects his eyes from unlawful gazes, Allah Ta'ala will grant him the light of the heart."

Casting evil glances is clearly forbidden by the clear and explicit text of the Qur'aan. Allah Ta'ala says: “O Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) Tell the believing men to lower their gazes." (Sura Nur ; Ayat 30, Juz 18)

Meaning, do not look at ghair mahram women. Therefore he who casts evil glances, is opposing the clear and explicit command of Qur'aan, and one who opposes the clear and explicit command of Qur'aan is guilty of committing a HARAAM act. Thus, to save oneself from this sin, it is sufficient to meditate upon the fact that the one who casts evil glances is opposing a commandment of the Qur’aan. In other words, he is disobeying Allah Ta'ala.

Breach of Trust
The one who casts evil glances is breaching the trust of Allah Ta'ala. Allah Ta'ala says: "He knows the mistrust of the eyes and that which the hearts conceal." (Sura Mumin; Ayat 18, Juz 24)

Allah Ta'ala uses the word (Khiyaanat) which means to commit mistrust. This indicates that we are not the owners of our eyes rather we have been entrusted with them. This is the reason why suicide is forbidden, because we are not owners of our bodies. Allah Ta'ala has entrusted us with our bodies. Since they are a trust from Allah Ta'ala, to use it against His pleasure, to harm it or to put an end to it is forbidden. If we were owners of our bodies then perhaps we would have the right to use them the way we desire. By not giving us the choice and freedom to utilize our bodies the way we desire is the proof that this is a trust from Allah Ta'ala. To embezzle this trust of Allah Ta'ala is a great crime. The one who casts evil glances is breaching and embezzling the trust of sight which Allah Ta'ala has granted him. The breacher of this trust cannot become the friend of Allah Ta'ala.

How beautifully a poet has said: The "thief of sight" can never have the crown of friendship placed upon his head.

From this we understand that the only way to be saved from the evils of the Nafs is to come under the shade of Allah’s mercy. Allah Ta’ala who is the Creator of this Nafs Himself has proclaimed that those who are in His mercy will be saved.

We ask Allah Ta'ala that He makes this a means of exposing the reality of this destructive disease and that He guides the entire Ummah from the darknesses of sin into the light of piety and obedience to Allah Ta'ala and Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam).

FIQH

If a person enters the Masjid and sits down. Thereafter he offers Tahiyyatul Masjid, there is no harm in this. However, it is preferable to offer this Salaah before sitting down. Hadith: Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: "When anyone of you enters the Masjid he should not sit down until he offers two Rakaats Salaah."

THE SMILE
When my grandson Billy and I entered our vacation cabin, we kept the lights off until we were inside to keep from attracting pesky insects. Still, a few fireflies followed us in. Noticing them before I did, Billy whispered, "It's no use Grandpa. Now the mosquitoes are coming after us with flashlights."
