Quotes Regarding Relationships

Quran:

And come not near unto adultery; surely, it is a foul thing and an evil way. (17:33)

And who guard their chastity— (al-Mu’minun, 23:6)

Direct the believing men to restrain their looks and to guard their furuj. That is the act through which they will attain purification. (24:31)

Hadith:

Hadrat Abu Barzahra relates that the Holy Prophet (sa) said, ‘I fear that you may be tempted by the lusts of the flesh and

sexual cravings, and I am afraid of the evil consequences of sensual temptations.’ (Musnadu Ahmadabni Hanbal, vol. 4.

p. 423, printed in Beirut)

Hadrat ‘Amr Bin al-‘Aufra has narrated that the Holy Prophet (sa) said, ‘The person who revives any one of my sunnah

so that others start practicing it, he will reap the reward equal to all those persons’ rewards who act upon that sunnah, and

their reward shall remain with them as well. The person who introduces an innovation and others adopt it, he shall share in

the sins of all those who act on it, and their sins will remain with them as well.’ (Sunano Ibn-e-Majah, Al-Muqaddimah)

Muhammad Bin Sirin narrates that the Holy Prophet (sa) admonished to do the following. Then he narrates a long hadith that includes the admonition that chastity and truthfulness are better and everlasting in contrast to adultery and falsehood (Sunanud-Darimiyyi, Kitab-ul-Wasaya)

Promised Messiah (as):

Beware! Do not ape other nations. Those who are not satisfied in their own minds, how can they give you satisfaction?

How can a person show you the way, who is himself blind? (Our teaching)

He who is unable to get married should try to maintain his chastity in other ways; for instance, he should keep fasts or reduce his food intake, or should do hard physical work. (Islami Usul ki Philosophy,Ruhani Khaza’in, vol. 10, p. 342)

The wicked and immoral are lower and more despicable than disbelievers in the eyes of Allah. (Malfuzaat, Vol 3, P 108)

Hadhur’s directives:

These days, you are living in Western societies that have many customs and rituals of their own which can create

distance between you and your religion and that can diminish the beauty of Islamic teachings for you. The lustre of worldliness is far more attractive; therefore, there is need for great caution at every step. Instead of adopting their wrong

customs, we must present the beautiful teachings of Islam. Each Ahmadi should possess such a strong character that

Western culture should have no effect on him/her whatsoever.
