We continued with the last 15 Ayat of Surat Al Furqan describing Ebad AlRahman / The Servants of The most Merciful. We studied Ayat 68 & 69 dealing with Zina / Fornication.
وَالَّذِينَ لَا يَدْعُونَ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا آخَرَ وَلَا يَقْتُلُونَ النَّفْسَ الَّتِي حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ وَلَا يَزْنُونَ ۚ وَمَن يَفْعَلْ ذَٰلِكَ يَلْقَ أَثَامًا (68) يُضَاعَفْ لَهُ الْعَذَابُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَيَخْلُدْ فِيهِ مُهَانًا (69)
– 6th Ebad Al-Rahman when asking & begging Allah don’t join with Him any entity or authority. They seek the materialistic reasons and help for their needs while believing that they will only work with the will of their creator.
– 7th Ebad Al-Rahman don’t kill the soul that Allah made sacred except with justification & authority.
– 8th Ebad Al-Rahman don’t commit nor approach “Zina”; fornication. Fornication is having sex outside of marriage between a male and a female.
– “Zina”; fornication is one of the greatest sins a human can commit.
– The normal strong desire between male & female that Allah placed in humans is to be satisfied only thru marriage between opposite sexes.
– Allah promised those who commit “Zina”; fornication with punishment in this life and double eternal humiliating torture in the day of “Qiama”; resurrection.
– Some of the punishment in this life to fornicators: contracting and passing to loved ones sexually transmitted diseases, having illegitimate children disrupting the fornicators’ plans, having no real respect even from their partners, chance of falling in incest with their own unknown children from previous affairs or causing incest between siblings from previous fornicators, their illegitimate children have less respect in society, their illegitimate children may have no rights to inheritance, the fornicators have no rights over their partners, fornicators don’t have peace of mind thinking all the time that their loved ones are behaving in the same manner and fornicators have no blessings of Allah in their life.
– Allah promised the societies that accepts the evil behavior of “Zina”; fornication of spreading of diseases that were not previously known among them. Today we have West Nile, Ebola, AIDS and Zika as examples.
– Allah promised fornicators of torture of their organs where they sought pleasure in their graves until Judgment Day.
– Allah promised fornicators double torture in Hell that fits their crime; after attracting their partners by their looks, they become among the ugliest creatures of Hell scaring other Hell residents. After attracting their partners by their pefumes, they become among the worst smelling creatures in Hell tormenting other Hell dwellers. Where they felt sinful pleasures and discharging bodily fluids, they have the severest pain spouting horrible liquids that become the awful drink of Hell occupants.
