The Disgrace of Women's Charm

THE DISGRACE OF TABAR'ROJ(DISPLAY OF WOMAN'S CHARM)(1)TABAR'ROJ IS A DISOBEDIENCE TO ALLAH & HIS MESSENGERThe one who disobeys Allah and his Messenger (PBUH) canonly harm himself and cannot in any way harm Allah. TheMessenger of Allah (PBUH) said:"كُلُّ أُمّتي يَدخُلونَ الجنَّةَ إلاَّ من أبى" فقالوا: يا رسولَ الله من يأبى؟ قال: "منأطاعني دخلَ الجنّة ومن عصاني فقد أبى""All of my followers will enter Aj-Jannah (Heaven) except those whorefuse." They said, "O Allah's Messenger! Who will refuse? "He said, "Whoever obeys me will enter Aj-Jannah, andwhoever disobeys me is the one who refuses (to enter it)."(1)It is reported that Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) gave a sermon in Humss (Syria) and mentioned that the Prophet (PBUH) prohibited seven things and that he (PBUH) named Tabar'roj as one ofthem(2). Abdullah bin Mas'oud (may allah be pleased with him) reported that theProphet (PBUH) "used to dislike ten kinds of behavior and he (Abdullah) mentioned amongst them: "Tabar'roj by means ofdisplaying beautification in an improper place."( 3) Imam As-Siyouti, may Allah's mercy be upon him said: "Tabar'roj bydisplaying beautification is showing off to strangers and this isdisliked. This is the explanation of "an improper place." It isnot so if the beautification is done for the husband.ــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ(1) Saheeh Al-Bukhari (English-Arabic, Dar Al-Arabia, Publ. Beirut,Lebanon), V.9, hadeeth # 384, p.284 (2) Narrated by Imam Ahmed in his Mussnad 4/101-Arabic.(3) Narrated by An-Nissa'ee in his " Sunan "Arabic 8/141.(2) TABAR'ROJ IS A GRAVE DESTRUCTIVE SINUmay'mah, the daughter of Ruqay'ah came to the Messengerof Allah to acknowledge the message of Islam and that he(PBUH) is the Messenger of Allah (THE ALMIGHTY). The Prophet(PBUH) told her: "I give my acknowledgment that you mustnot set partners to worship besides Allah and that you don'tsteal or commit fornication and adultery, that you don't killyour child, that you don't commit any falsehood before yourhands and between your legs, that you don't wail, and thatyou don't make Tabar'roj like that of Jahilyeeyah(4). It is clearthat the Prophet (PBUH) associated Tabar'roj with gravedestructive sins.ــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ(4) Narrated by Imam Ahmed in his "Mussnad" 2/196. The scholar AhmedShaker, may Allah's Mercy be upon him, said : " Its chain of narration isgood". He also said that Ibin Khatheer in his "Tafseer :Explanation of theQur'an 8: 327-328" mentioned this hadeeth saying, "its chain of narrationis good" and he narrated it to At-Tirmidhi, An-Nissa'ee and Ibin Majah.(3)TABAR'ROJ BRINGS THE CURSE AND EXPULSIONFROM THE MERCY OF ALLAH.The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said:"سيَكُونُ في آخِر أُمَّتي نساءٌ كاسِياتٌ عارياتٌ، على رُؤوسِهِنَّ كأسنِمَةِ البُختِ،إلعَنوهُنّ فإنَّهُنَّ ملعونات""There shall be, in the latter part of my nation, women whoare dressed but (in fact) naked, on their heads are humps likethose of Bukht (one kind of camels), curse them for they aresurely cursed."(5)ــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ(5) At-Tabarani narrated this hadeeth in "Al-Mu'jam As-Sagheer" p.232 andAl-Albani said it Saheeh as in his book "The Hijab" p.56. As-Siyoutinarrated on behalf of Ibin Abdul'barr that: "The Prophet (PBUH) intendedwomen who put on light clothes that shows off and shapes the bodydescriptions. In reality they are naked although they have clothes on them!".(4)TABAR'ROJ IS AN ATTRIBUTE OF THE PEOPLE OFHELLThe Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said:"صِنفان من أهلِ النَّار لم أرَهُما: قومٌ معَهُم سِياطٌ كأذناب البَقر يضرِبونَ بهاالنَّاس، ونِساءٌ كاسِياتٌ عارِياتٌ، مُميلاتٌ، رُؤوسَهُنَّ كأسنِمَةِ البُختِ المائِلة، لايَدْخُلنِ الجنَّةَ، ولا يَجِدْنَ ريحَها، وإنَّ ريحَها لَيوجَدُ من مَسيرةِ كذا وكذا"Of the people of Hell there are two types whom I have neverseen, the one possessing whips like the tail of an ox and theyflog people with them. The second one, women who would benaked in spite of their being dressed, who are seduced (towrong paths) and seduce others with their hair high likehumps. These women would not get into Aj-Jannah and theywould not perceive its odor, although its fragrance can beperceived from such and such distance.( 6)ــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ(6) Saheeh Muslim (English-Arabic, Published by Dar Al-Arabia, Beirut.Lebanon) V. 4 hadeeth # 6840 p. 1486.(5)TABAR'ROJ IS DARKNESS ON THE DAY OF RESURRECTIONIt is narrated that the Prophet (PBUH) said:"مَثَلُ الرَّافِلَةِ في الزَّينَةِ في غيرِ أهلِها، كَمَثَلِ ظُلْمَةٍ يوم القيامة، لا نور لها"The parable of a woman who moves with slow sweepingmotion, trailing her beautified clothes, performing not for herhusband, is like darkness on the Day of Judgment; she has (orcomes with) no light,"( 7)"خَيْرُ نِسائِكُم الوَدود، الوَلُود، المُواتِية، المُواسية، إذا اتَّقيْنَ الله، وشَرّ نِسائِكُمالمُتَبَرَّجات المًتَخَيَّلات، وهُنَّ المُنافِقات، لا يَدخُلِ الجنَّةَ مِنْهُنَّ إلاَّ مِثلُ الغُرابِالأعصَم"ــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ(7) Narrated by Imam At-Tirmidhi in his "Sunan" # 1167. Al-Albani said itis a weak hadeeth (See Al-Albani's collection "Ad-Da'eefah" (Collectionof Weak Hadeeths) # 1800. Abu Bakr Bin Arabi, may Allah's Mercy beupon him, said: "At-Tirmidhi narrated this hadeeth and said it is weak butits meaning is correct because the "enjoyment" in disobedience is in facttorture and suffering……". The meaning indicates that this type ofwomen will come on the Day of Judgment Blackened in darkness as ifshe physically originated from darkness. In contrast, what appears to bedifficult and painful in performance of obedient acts, is a true enjoymentbecause of the reward awaiting those who obey Allah and His Messengere.g. the odor of the mouth of a fasting Muslim may not be pleasant inthis world. To Allah, however, it is better than the odor of Musk becausethe Muslim had obeyed Allah and performed what is due upon him fromfasting. Similarly the woman wearing her Hijab may be looked upon as"reactionary, old fashioned, a walking tent! etc." She is the winner on theDay of Judgment and those who mock her put themselves on a dangerousroad. They may be subjected to the wrath of Allah.(6)TABAR'ROJ IS NIFAQ (HYPOCRISY)The Prophet (PBUH) said:"The best of your women is the affectionate , the fertile (inproductivity), the propitious (favorable), the consultative ifthey fear Allah. the Most evil of your women are theMutabar'rijat (those who do Tabar'roj), the Mutakhayelat(who strut/the Almightyagger), and they are the hypocrite ones. Thosewho enter Aj-Jannah are like the Cough Crow."( 8) The CoughCrow has a red beak and red legs. This is an expression ofmetonymy indicating that few women enter Heaven becausethis kind of crow is rare.ــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ(8) Reported by Al-Baihaqi in "As-Sunan" V.7 p.82. Also reported byAbu Na'eem in "Al-Hiliyah" V. 8, p. 376 with a reference to Abdullahbin Masoud (MAY ALLAH BE PLEASED WITH HIM) as the narrator. See also Al-Albani's "Chain ofAuthentic Hadeeths - Arabic" # 1849 and 632.(7) TABAR'ROJ IS DISGRACEFULThe Prophet (PBUH) said:"أَيُّمَا امرأةٍ وَضَعَت ثِيابَها في غيرِ بيتِ زَوجِها، فقد هتَكَت سِترَ ما بينها وبين الله عزَّ وجَلَّ""Any woman who takes off her clothes in other than herhusbands home (to show off for an unlawful purpose), hasbroken the shield between her and Allah."( 9) Imam Al-Man'nawi, may Allah have Mercy upon him, said: "the sayingof the Prophet (PBUH) ' any woman who takes off her clothesin other than her husbands home' means showing off herbeauty to strangers by taking off her shield of clothes. She"has broken the shield between her and Allah" because Allahhad said:} ‏ يَا بَنِي آدَمَ قَدْ أَنْزَلْنَا عَلَيْكُمْ لِبَاسًا يُوَارِي سَوْآتِكُمْ وَرِيشًا وَلِبَاسُ التَّقْوَى ذَلِكَ خَيْرٌ ‏‏{ الآية [الأعراف،26]"O children of Adam! We havebestowed raiment upon 'you to coveryourselves (screen your private partsetc.) and as an adornment. But theraiment of righteousness, that is better."(Qur'an 7:26)So if a woman does not fear Allah and uncover her privateparts then she is breaking the shield between her and Allah,Most High. And because she uncovered and dishonoredherself and committed a treason with her husband, Allah willuncover her shield, she will be in a scandal... "ــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ(9) Narrated by Imam Ahmed and Al-Hakim in his "Mustadrek" (Arabic)V.4, p.288 who said it is Saheeh (authentic) according to the conditionsof Muslim and Al-Bukhari, and Ad-Dahabi agreed as well as Ibin Majah.(8) TABAR'ROJ IS AN UNCHASTE AND DISGRACEFUL SINThe woman is A'wrah, All of her body is not to be shown To wear the clothes that show off and shapes her bodyfeatures is disgraceful and Allah (THE ALMIGHTY) orders His slaves tostay away from disgraceful sins:} ‏ وَإِذَا فَعَلُوا فَاحِشَةً قَالُوا وَجَدْنَا عَلَيْهَا آبَاءَنَا وَاللَّهُ أَمَرَنَا بِهَا قُلْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَأْمُرُ بِالْفَحْشَاءِ أَتَقُولُونَ عَلَى اللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ ‏‏{ [الأعراف،28]"When they commit a Fahisha (evildeed, going round the Ka'ba in nakedstate as in the times of Jahilyeeyah (Pre Islamic Paganism),every kind of unlawful sexualintercourse etc.), they say: 'We foundour fathers doing it and Allah hascommanded us of it.' Say: "Nay, Allahnever commands of Fahisha. Do yousay of Allah what you know not?"(Qur'an 7:28)It is Shaytan (Satan) who orders such disgraceful sins. Allah(THE ALMIGHTY) says:} ‏ الشَّيْطَانُ يَعِدُكُمُ الْفَقْرَ وَيَأْمُرُكُمْ بِالْفَحْشَاءِ ‏‏{ الآية [البقرة، 268]"Shaytan threatens you with povertyand orders you to commit sins. "(Qur'an 2: 268)The Mutabar'rigah is a sinful virus that spreads disgracefulsins amongst the Muslim society. Allah, the Most High, says:} ‏ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يُحِبُّونَ أَن تَشِيعَ الفَاحِشَةُ فِي الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ وَأَنْتُمْ لاَ تَعْلَمُونَ ‏‏{ [النور،19]"Verily, those who like, that (the crimeof) illegal sexual intercourse should bepropagated among those who believe, they will have a painful torment in thisworld and in the Hereafter. And Allahknows and you know not." (Qur'an 24:19)Tabar'roj is a leading cause for the spread of Zina (illegal sexual intercourse).(9) TABAR'ROJ IS A SATANIC WAYThe story of Adam and his wife demonstrates how the enemyof Allah, Satan, was so covetous to incite them to show theirprivate parts in order to spread evil and disgraceful sins. Italso shows that the Tabar'roj of women is a primary goal forShaytan to achieve. Allah (THE ALMIGHTY) says:} ‏ يَا بَنِي آدَمَ قَدْ أَنْزَلْنَا عَلَيْكُمْ لِبَاسًا يُوَارِيسَوْآتِكُمْ وَرِيشًا وَلِبَاسُ التَّقْوَى ذَلِكَ خَيْرٌ ‏‏{ الآية [الأعراف،26]"O children of Adam! We havebestowed raiment upon you to coveryourselves (screen your private parts etc.) and as an adornment. But theraiment of righteousness, that isbetter." (Qur'an 7:26)It is clear that Satan is the one who established the call forTabar'roj and show off and that he is the leader of those "leaders " who call for the "liberation of women". Satan is the"Imam" of everyone who obeys and follows him indisobedience to Allah (The Most Merciful), especially thoseMutabar'rijat who harm the Muslims and deceive their youth.The Prophet ( PBUH) said:ما تَرَكْتً بَعدي فتنةً هيَ أضَرُ على الرجالِ من النِساء"""I have not left after me any (chance) of turmoil more harmfulto men than the harm done to the men because of women.(10)Adam forgot, made a mistake, repented and asked forgivenessfrom Allah and Allah the Oft-Forgiving accepted Adam'srepentance. The struggle between Adam's off-springs andShaytan continues. The devil still whispers to drive us , menand women, to disobey Allah and follow sin. There is nosafeguard except in the return to Allah in good faith andrepentance, remembering Allah, asking His help to overcomelust and desire.ــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ(10) Saheeh Muslim (English translation; published by Dar Al-Arabia) V. 4, hadeeth # 6603, p. 1431(10) TABAR'ROJ IS THE WAY OF JEWSJews have an important role in the destruction of nationsthrough the Fitna. (seduction/temptation) of women. Thespread of Tabar'roj is an effective weapon of their widespreadestablishments. They have an extensive experience in thisfield. One should look around only to see who runs Hollywoodand famous Houses of "Fashions" and "Magazines" as well asthe world of advertisement!. R-rated, X-rated movies andclothes are widespread. In fact the Prophet ( PBUH) said:"فاتَّقُوا الُدنيا، واتَّقوا النساء، فإنَّ أولَ فتنةِ بني إسرائيل كانت في النساء""Watch out for this worldly life (safeguard yourselves fromits temptations); avoid the allurement of women: verily, thefirst trial for the people of Israel was caused by women.Their Books also testify to this fact. In the Third Chapter ofIsaiah (16, 17):"The Lord said: "Because the daughters of Zion are haughtyand walk with necks outstretched ogling and mincing as theygo, their anklets tinkling with every step. The Lord shall coverthe scalps of Zion's daughters with scabs, and the Lord shallbare their heads." Furthermore, "On that day the Lord will doaway with the finery of the anklets, sunbursts, and crescents;the pendants, bracelets, and veils; the headdresses, bangles,cinctures, perfume boxes, and amulets; the signet rings, andthe rose rings; the court dresses, wraps, cloaks, and purses; themirrors,.." (Isaiah, 3, 18-23; The New American Bible).Although the Prophet (PBUH) warned against mimicking theKuffar (non-believers) and their ways, especially the ways ofwomen. Many Muslims do not abide by this warning (11). Thisis a testimony for the prophecy of the Prophet (PBUH) who said:"لتَتَّبِعَنَّ سَنَنَ من كانَ قبلَكُم شبراً بِشبر وذراعاً بذراع، حتَّى لو دَخَلُوا جُحرَ ضَبٍلتَبعتُموهُم، قيل: اليهود والنصارى؟ قال: فمن؟""You would tread the same path as was trodden by thosebefore you inch by inch and step by step so that if they hadentered into the hole of a Dhab (a desert lizard), you wouldfollow them in this also. We said: Allah's Messenger, do youmean Jews and Christians (by your words)" those beforeyou"? he said: Who else (than those two religious groups).(12)The similarity of those women who disobey Allah and hisMessenger to the Jews is very evident because their responseto Allah's commands was similar to that of the Jews:} ‏ قالوا سَمِعنا وَعَصَينا ‏‏{ الآية [البقرة،93]"We have heard and disobeyed" (Qur'an 2: 93)This is unlike the response of the believing women:} ‏ وقالوا سَمِعنا وَأطَعنا ‏‏{ الآية [البقرة، 285]"We hear and we obey." (Qur'an 2: 285)They remember the saying of Allah:} ‏ ‏وَمَنْ يُشَاقِقِ الرَّسُولَ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُ الْهُدَى وَيَتَّبِعْ غَيْرَ سَبِيلِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ نُوَلِّهِ مَا تَوَلَّى وَنُصْلِهِ جَهَنَّمَ وَسَاءَتْ مَصِيرًا ‏‏{ [النساء، 115]"And whoever contradicts and opposesthe Messenger (Muhammad-PBUH)after the right path has been shownclearly to him, and follows other thanthe believers' way, We shall keep himin the path he has chosen and burnhim in Hell; what an evil destination!"(Qur'an 4: 115)ــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ__________(11) It is sad to see many who dislike the Kuffar in certain ways imitatethem in their ways of living thinking that their materialistic progresscould not be achieved except in acting, dressing, eating, jogging,sleeping ..like them. The true Muslim, however, remembers that anyprogress must meet the purpose for our presence on earth: all action mustbe narrated to the worship of Allah. The Kuffar have taken some of themeans which Allah had created and used it for worldly gains. We areordered to make the means adhere to the purpose of our creation: theworship of Allah Alone and thus uses the means to defend Islam andMuslims and secure the needs of life as well. Why should some of usdress the way Allah ordered and some does not? Should we chooseAllah's way or the Kuffar way? All the success is measured by onecriterion: does it meet the pleasure of Allah or not?(12) A famous and Saheeh hadeeth reported by Al-Bukhari, Muslim andothers. The text here is as reported in Saheeh Muslim V. 4, hadeeth # 6448, p.1403(11)TABAR'ROJ IS A FILTHYJAHILYEEYAH (IGNORANCE)Allah (THE ALMIGHTY) says:} ‏ وَقَرْنَ فِي بُيُوتِكُنَّ وَلَا تَبَرَّجْنَ تَبَرُّجَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ الْأُولَى‏‏{ [الأحزاب،33]"And stay in your houses and do notdisplay yourselves like that of the timesof ignorance" (Qur'an 33:33)The Prophet (PBUH) described the times of ignorance asfilthy and wicked and ordered us to reject it. Allah (THE ALMIGHTY)described the Prophet (PBUH) as :} ‏ وَيُحِلُّ لَهُمُ الطَّيِّبَاتِ وَيُحَرِّمُ عَلَيْهِمُ الخَبَائِثَ ‏‏{ الآية [الأعراف،157]"He allows them as lawful At-Tayyibat(all i.e. good and lawful as regardsthings, deeds, beliefs, persons, foods,etc.), and prohibits them as unlawfulAl-Khaba'ith (all i.e. evil and unlawfulas regard things, deeds, beliefs,persons, foods, etc.)" (Qur'an 7: 157)The call to bring about the times of Jahilyeeyah is similar tothe call for Tabar'roj, both of which are wicked ways that theMessenger (PBUH) made unlawful. He (PBUH) said:"كُلٌّ شيءٍ من أمر الجاهلِيَّةِ موضُوعٌ تحتَ قَدَمَيَّ""Verily! every matter of Jahilyeeyah is under my feet!"(13)Tabar'roj and all forms of Jahilyeeyah such as false pride andhaughtiness, ill thoughts about Allah, call for falsehood,setting up rivals with Allah, ruling by other than the laws ofIslam, usury, etc., are all included.ــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ(13) Narrated by Abu Dawoud, At-Tirmidhi, Ibin Majah, and Ad-Darime'iand Imam Ahmed.(12)TABAR'ROJ IS AN ANIMAL ACT, RETARDATION(DECADENCE) AND DECLINETo reveal and expose are natural behaviors of animals.Whenever man inclines towards such behaviors he starts hisdecline to a level lower than the level of manhood which Allahhad bestowed upon him. Allah bestowed a natural inclination(Fitrah) towards covering, preservation, and safeguardingmodesty. To consider the acts of display, exposition, anduncovering as acts of beauty reflects a corruption to the Fitrahand a degeneration in taste and a sign of decadence anddecline.The progress of man's civility is linked to his/her covering ofthe body. The Hijab cover is fitting to the instinct of Gheerahwhich draws its strength from the soul. The so called"liberation from the chains of covering" is an instinct thatdraws its strength from lust which incites Tabar'roj andmixing of the sexes. The one who is satisfied with this latterinstinct must sacrifice the first one in order to silence thevoice of the innate Gheerah in his heart in return for the"enjoyment" of Tabar'roj and mixing. From this weunderstand that the Tabar'roj is a sign of corruption of Fitrah,lack of bashfulness, Gheerah, and insensitivity.(13) TABAR'ROG IS A DOOR TO WIDESPREAD EVILAnyone who carefully examines the Islamic Texts (Qur'an andSunnah) and the lessons of history, becomes convinced aboutthe evils of Tabar'roj and its harm, both on religious andworldly matters especially when it is associated with themixing of sexes. Some of its underlying consequences are:r The Competition Amongst the Displaying Women inShowing Off Their Beauty{tc ..l 3 "A ..:) The CompetitionAmongst the Displaying Women in Showing Off TheirBeauty"}. This is seduction, and it leads to the spoiling ofmorality and leaves women as merchandise articles exhibitedfor anyone to look at.r The Corruption of the Morality of Men, Especiallythe Youth and Those in Adolescence. It pushes them tocommit various kinds of sins(14).r The Destruction of Family Ties and Causing a Lackof Trust Between Family Members and the Spread ofDivorce.r The Commercial Abuse of Women In The World ofAdvertisement, Entertainment And Other Areas As Well.r Doing Harm to Women by Declaring Their IllIntentions and Evil Conscience Thus Rendering HerVenerable To Harm By The Wicked And The Insolent.r The Spread of Diseases.The Prophet (PBUH) said:"لم تظهَرِ الفاحِشَةُ في قومٍ قط حتى يُعلنوا بها إلاَّ فشا فيهُم الطاعُون والأوجاع التيلم تَكُن في أسلافِهِم الذين مَضَوْا""Sins didn't spread in any particular nation until they openlyconduct it and as a result, plague and other illnesses thatwere not present among their predecessors becamewidespread amongst them."(15)r Facilitates The Sin of Zina (Fornication) By The Eye.The Prophet (PBUH) said:"العَيْنانِ زِناهُما النَّظَر""The adultery of the eyes is the lustful look. ."(16)r Tabar'roj Makes it Difficult to Lower The Gaze.r Justifiably Brings Down Allah's PunishmentThe punishment of Allah is more severe than atomic bombsand earthquakes. Allah (THE ALMIGHTY) says:} ‏ وَإِذَا أَرَدْنَا أَنْ نُهْلِكَ قَرْيَةً أَمَرْنَا مُتْرَفِيهَا فَفَسَقُوا فِيهَا فَحَقَّ عَلَيْهَا الْقَوْلُ فَدَمَّرْنَاهَا تَدْمِيرًا ‏‏{ [الإسراء،16]"And when We(17) decide to destroy atown (population), We (first) send adefinite order (to obey Allah and berighteous) to those among them [or We (first) increase in number those of itsPopulation] who are given the goodthings in this life. Then, they transgresstherein, and thus the word (of torment)is justified against it (them). Then Wedestroy it with complete destruction."(Qur'an 17: 16)The Prophet (PBUH) said:"إنَّ النَّاسَ إذا رأوا المًنكَرَ فَلَم يُغيَّروهً أوشك أن يَعُمَّهُم الله بِعَذاب""When people see wrong (or evil) and they don't change it,then it is imminent that the punishment of Allah will fall uponthem.(18)ــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ(14) You may have seen teen-age kids on the corners of many streets inEurope and in North America rooming around, smoking to get high, halfnaked, and on drugs looking to engage in sex. Why? What happened?Many try to hide from the hard facts! The drive for lust and materialisticlife became the "god" of the new generations: the Pepsi-Michael-MTV-Jackson generations. The result: AIDS and other sexually transmitteddiseases.(15) Part of a lengthy hadeeth narrated by Ibin Majah, Abu Na'eem, and Al-Hakim who said: "it has a good chain of narrators". Ad-Dahabi agreed toAl-Hakim's report.(16) Saheeh Muslim V.4, hadeeth # 6421 p. 1397(17) Plural Pronoun: Is used to stress the Greatness and Power of AllahWho is One. It is common with Semitic languages for any Monarch touse Plural Pronoun. It is also used by members of the Royal Family inEngland. To Allah, however, belong the Highest and most PerfectExample.(18) Narrated by Abu Dawoud, At-Tirmidhi, Ibin Majah and lmam Ahmed.
