Stay Away From Adultery.

[Abu Hafsat]

As-Salaam alaikum, 

In ayat/verse 32 of chapter 17 of the Holy Qur'an, Surat Bani Isra'el, Allah Ta'ala says :--

"And come not near unto adultery, 

Verily, it is an obscenity and an evil way". (17:32).

Here, we are prohibited from even approaching Zina/adultery, thus educating us to the fact that : ANY CAUSE THAT LEADS TO HARAAM ACT IS ALSO HARAAM, and thus should totally be avoided. 

Human instinct is such that no sooner do a strange man and woman meet in privacy, that a sensation of mutual attraction permeates the atmosphere between them. This attraction develops from stage to stage from affection to uncontrollable passion and ultimately into the irreversible stage, where it is about impossible to control the nafs, and finally the shameful deed of Zina is perpetrated. Therefore, Allah Ta'ala has made easy for us the beautiful pathway to chastity, purity and piety (Taqwa), by declaring unlawful all those factors that contribute to the commission of Zina.
