Harm #3 – Curses From Nabi ﷺ

The one who casts evil glances is cursed by Nabi ﷺ. Nabi ﷺ says in a Hadith mentioned in Mishkaat Shareef:

لعن اللہ الناظر والمنظور الیھ

“May the curse of Allah be upon the one who casts evil glances and upon the one who presents him/herself to be looked at.”
(Mishkaat; Pg. 270)

If casting evil glances was a minor sin, then Nabi ﷺ, being a mercy to mankind would not have cursed its perpetrator. The curse of Nabi ﷺ is clear proof that this is a very despicable crime. The meaning of curse is to become distant from the mercy of Allah. Imam Raghib Isfahani mentions in Mufradaatul Qur’aan that the definition of لعنة (curse) is:

البعد عن الرحمة

“To become distant from mercy.”

Thus, he who has become distant from the mercy of Allah Ta’ala, cannot gain salvation from the evils of his Nafs. Only he who is under the shade of Allah’s mercy can attain salvation from the evils of the Nafs. Allah Ta’ala says:

ان النفس لامارة بالسوء

The Nafs abundantly commands evil.
(Sura Yousuf; Ayat 53, Juz 13)

So how is it possible to be saved from the evils of Nafs? Allah Ta’ala further says:

 الا مار حم ربی

“Except by the mercy of my Lord.”

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. Therefore, the one who has come under the shade of الا مارحم ربی his Nafs did not remain امارة بالسوء (excessively commanding evil) rather it became امارة بالخیر (abundantly commanding good). This is why after the command of guarding the eyes, یغضوا من ابصارھم , Allah Ta’ala mentions, ویحفظوا فروجھم “Guard the private parts.” Because through the blessings of fulfilling the divine command of Allah Ta’ala and saving oneself from the curse of Nabi ﷺ one comes under the shade of Allah’s mercy. Now his private parts will also be safeguarded. Form this we conclude that the reward of guarding the eyes is that the private parts become safeguarded. On the contrary, if a person does not guard his eyes then he cannot guard his private parts either and curses which descends upon him is a separate punishment on its own.

Complete Section: The 14 Harms Of Casting Evil Glances

Background:

In this day and age, due to the shamelessness and immodesty which has been spread through Pornography, TV, VCR, Internet, Cell Phone, Cinema, Signboards, 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.

Rasulullah (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم) said: (Hadith Qudsi, meaning Allah Tala says:)

ان النظرة سھم من سھام ابلیس مسموم من تر کھا مخافتی ابدلتہ ایمانا یجد حلاوتہ فی قلبہ

“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 (رحمۃ اللہ علیہ) mentions in his Tafseer:

من حفظ بصرہ اورثہ اللہ نورا فی بصیرتہ

“He who protects his eyes from unlawful gazes, Allah Ta’ala will grant him the light of the heart.”

We ask Allah Ta’ala that He makes this booklet 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 (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم). May He make it a means of eternal reward for our Shaikh, Hazrat-e-Aqdas Moulana Shah Hakeem Muhammad Akhtar Saheb (دامت برکاتہم), who has devoted his entire life to purification of the Nafs, امر با المعروف ونہی عن المنکر (enjoining good and forbidding evil). May He accept it out of His sheer Mercy.

Ameen

Harm #2 – Breach of Trust

The one who casts evil glances is breaching the trust of Allah Ta’ala. Allah Ta’ala says:

 یعلم خائنة الاعین وما تخفی الصدور

“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 خیانة, 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 breach’er of this trust cannot become the friend of Allah Ta’ala. How beautifully a poet has said:

نظر کے چور کے سر پر نہیں ہے تاج ولایت

جو متقی  نہیں  ہوتا   اسے  ولی  نہیں   کہتے

The “thief of sight” can never have the crown of friendship placed upon his head
He who is not a Muttaqi, is not a Wali (Friend of Allah Ta’ala)

Harm #1 – Disobedience of Allah

Casting evil glances is clearly forbidden by the نص قطعی  clear and explicit text of the Qur’aan. Allah Ta’ala says:

قل للمومنین یغضوا من ابصارھم

“O Nabi ﷺ Tell the believing men to lower some of their gazes.”
(Sura Nur; Ayat 30, Juz 18)

(Meaning, do not look at ghair mahram women and handsome boys). 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.

إِنَّ أَعْظَمَ النِّكَاحِ بَرَكَةً أَيْسَرُهُ مَئُوْنَةً

(مشكوة المصابيح)

The most blessed marriage is the one in which expenses are few, and which is simple.

Instead of wasting the money on unnecessary expenses, it is better to give the same money to one’s daughter, to one’s son-in-law, to be used to purchase carpets for a musjid, or to pay for the expenses of a student. In short, consult your shaykh and spend it in some correct avenue. The walîmah meal which is Sunnah is to be from the boy’s side – to whose house the bride is going.

But today, the opposite is taking place. The girl’s side is spending thousands to feed and entertain the thousands of people who come from the boy’s side. If a person has five daughters, he estimates his cost at 600 000 rupees. Consequently, he steals, robs, and accepts bribes.

Moreover, it is not necessary for the boy’s side to have such a large walîmah for which a tent has to be pitched, 10 000 people are invited, and hundreds of thousands of rupees are spent to feed the guests. A walîmah can be fulfilled by just five people as well. If any family is not invited, it has no right to complain.

Karachi is a very large city [so it is understandable if someone is not invited]. In a small town like Madînah, a Sahâbî – Hadrat ‘Abdur Rahmân ibn ‘Auf (radhiallaho anho) did not invite Rasulullah (Sallellaho alaihe wasallam) to his walîmah. Rasulullah (Sallellaho alaihe wasallam) saw the yellow coloured effect of fragrance on his clothes and gauged [that he just got married]. So he asked him: “Did you perchance get married?” But Rasulullah (Sallellaho alaihe wasallam) did not feel offended in the least for not being invited to the walîmah.

My shaykh, Shâh Abrârul Haqq Sâhib rahimahullâh, gave his daughter in marriage to a very noble family. Professor Hakîm ‘Irfânullâh Sâhib was a member of the Consultative Assembly of Deoband and a senior hakîm (Islamic physician) of Aligarh Tibbîyyah College.

Hadrat said to him, “You must come with your son and one other child.” In other words, no more than three people may come from Aligarh to Hardoi. Thus, the father must come, the son who is going to become the son-in-law must come, and he may bring one additional child. No fourth person may come. This is what you call simplicity. But today people say that if we adopt simplicity ‘our nose will get cut’ [we will be humiliated].

Listen, the ‘nose’ is under Allâh’s control. If you opt for simplicity, you will be honourable in the sight of Allâh Ta’ala.
