RULING ON MASTURBATION AND HOW TO CURE THE PROBLEM

Image result for RULING ON MASTURBATION AND HOW TO CURE THE PROBLEM

        PROPHET MUHAMMAD’S (S.A.W) HADITH OF THE FLY IS CONFIRMED BY SCIENCE


Masturbation is haraam in Islam for both men and women. It is forbidden and there are numerous evidence that point out this.  It's a sin which tempts and leads a person towards Zina and immodesty. All believing men and women are to guard their chastity and refrain from such evil acts. The religion of Islam wants a person to be of extremely pure and modest nature. There is no place for any kind of immodest or wickedness in Islam. Allah subhana-wa-ta'ala has made all the good and lawful things pure and clean and the impure things are regarded as unlawful.

 It is because of this the Prophet Muhammad(saw) said: "the best of the people is the one with the good character". Hence a person must always strive to be of best character.

In another narration, he says: “When your modesty goes on reducing (and there remains no veil of a hindrance in between you and immorality), then do whatever you wish”. (Bukhari)
We can conclude from this hadith that with the beginning of masturbation, the modesty of a person goes on decreasing to a level where he doesn't care about any immorality conducted by him. He is left with no shame and doesn't fear Allah subhana-wa-ta'ala.

In one of the narration Prophet Muhammad (saw) mentions that: "“Modesty is a branch of Imaan” (Bukhari)
Hence a person who indulges in evil acts of immorality are the ones with week Imaan or in other words, the faith of a person is weakened by the evils of immodesty and immorality.
From the Quranic perspective, Imam Shaafi stated that masturbation is Haraam and forbidden from the following verses of Quran.

"And those who guard their chastity (i.e. private parts, from illegal sexual acts). Except for their wives or (the captives and slaves) that their right hands possess, - for them, they are free from blame. But whoever seeks beyond that, then those are the transgressors." 23.5-7
"And let those who find not the financial means for marriage keep themselves chaste until Allah enriches them of His bounty." 24.33.

In the first verse above it can be clearly seen that the illegal sexual acts(including Masturbation) are forbidden and whoever indulges in it is a transgressor.
In the second verse, we can see that if a  person is capable of marrying must marry and protect himself from evil acts and if he is not capable of marrying(financially) than he must fast as fasting will help him in being patient in facing temptations.

THIS CATHOLIC GIRL’S INSPIRING STORY OF CONVERTING TO ISLAM IS MAKING HEADLINES ALL OVER THE WORLD

Curing the habit of masturbation

1. The intention. The motive to cure the problem must be to attain Allah's blessings and solely based on fearing His punishment.

2. Marriage. If a person is financially capable of marrying that he should not waste any time and get married soon as this will protect him from immorality.

3. Keeping oneself busy with the work and worshipping Allah subhana-wa-ta'ala.

4. Avoid watching indecent movies, photographs, and pornography that promotes immorality and immodesty.

5. Lowering your gaze.

6. Using your leisure in helping others and worshipping Allah.

7. Being aware of the health problems such as weak eyesight, back pain etc caused by the masturbation.

8. Avoiding the thoughts that it is permissible because it prevents one from committing Zina. No, it leads one to it.

9. Willpower. a strong willpower is mandatory to achieve anything and if a person is not sincere and lacks willpower than he will not be able to cope up with the problem.

10. Follow Prophet Muhammad(saw's) advice i.e. fasting. If the problem is too chronic that a person is advised to fast as it diminishes the power of sexual temptations.

11. Keep a good company. Try to be with people who are god fearing and righteous. Avoid to be in the company of those for whom immorality is normal.

12. Ask Allah to cure you. Seek his forgiveness and do tawbah.

May Allah protect and help us. May Allah keep us from all the roots of evil and wickedness.

7 Remarkable Things About Khadija, Wife of the Prophet Muhammed SAS

By Yasmina Blackburn I often get into debates with people about women in Islam. How we dress. How we don’t dress. What we think or don’t think or should-be-thinking. I get into debates about feminism. What it is and what it isn’t. I think I’ve spawned permanent foes because I don’t care to apply the label, feminist, to describe myself. (I’m not one for labels, sorry. But if it’s even required of me, “Muslim woman” suits me just fine.) But if we could agree for a moment that there exists a pure definition of the word feminist to mean: awesomely fierce to the millionth degree, then I’d like to introduce you to Islam’s first feminist. Her name is Khadijah bint Khuwaylid. She was the wife of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him.) And she is one of the people that I think about when I face or debate issues surrounding women today. Khadija’s existence precedes mine by more than 1,400 years; and, if I can at the very least, continuously strive to emulate her char...

When Can I Shorten my Prayers at my Workplace ?

Q uestions: My current workplace is 86 km from my home. I stay there 8 hours each days. Can I shorten my prayers A nswer: If your workplace is [approximately] 80km or more from your city boundary, you should shorten your prayers whilst there. Normally, we are expected to shorten our prayers when the shari‘a says that we are travelling; hence, if you have to travel just to get to work, you would shorten your prayers.

I Felt As 60 Pound Weight Had Been Lifted Off My Shoulders

By Aisha Kacie Salaam! My name is Aisha and I am a Muslim revert. I reverted in 2015, but I had been researching Islam for about 2 years before reverting. Growing up I was put under the label Christian, though it was never practiced in my home. I met my best friend in college 6-7 years ago and she was Muslim. I later met a few other Muslims but still never thought much about Islam. Having moved to a big city from a small town, I actually did not know what Islam was! So I guess because of that, I came into it without any bias. I began having questions about fasting, and modest dress, etc and that began my 2 year journey into researching Islam. I researched (literally) everyday. Then one day I decided to listen to one of the 5 daily prayers out of curiosity. As soon as the Arabic played I felt as though a 60 pound weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I was so overwhelmed as though I had just found what was written for me my entire life without even knowing it! ...
