Introduction

In this time and age, due to the shamelessness and immodesty,which has spread through pornography, television, videos, internet, cell phones, cinema, novels, etc., so many people's lives have been destroyed. Young people have ruined their youth in illicit sexual intercourse and masturbation. Life-long marriages have been broken due to unlawful love affairs. On a social level, so ciety is plagued with problems such as rape, prostitution, child molestationandpedophile,homosexuality,AIDSand other sexually transmitted diseases. The question arises as to what is the root of all these problems. May Allah Ta'ala reward our Masha'ikhand pious predecessors, who look at the world with the eye of the heart, enlightened by the light of the Qur'aan, Hadithand 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 samesex with lustful gazes. Unfortunately, today, people do not even consider casting evil glances tobe a sin, when in actuality it is the root of innumerable vices and sins. Another reality which people are totally unaware ofis that by protecting one's eyes from lustful glances, one is promised the taste of the sweetness of Imaan. Once the sweetness of Imaanenters the heart, it will never be taken back. Thus by protecting the eyes, one is given glad tidings of a good death.

Rasulullah said:

"Verily the evil glance is a poisonous arrow from t he 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-Umma al; Vol. 5, pg. 228),(Ibn Katheer; Surra Nur, Ayat 30)

Hafiz ibn Katheermentions in his Tafseer "He who protects his eyes from unlawful gazes, Alla h Ta'ala will grant him the light of the heart."

We ask Allah Ta'ala that He makes this booklet a me ans 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'a la and Rasulullah .May Hemakeita means ofeternal reward for our Shaikh, Hazrat-e-Aqdas Moulana Shah Hakeem Muhammad Akhtar Saheb , who has devoted his entire life to purification of the Nafs , (enjoining good and forbidding evil). May He accept it out of His sheer Mercy.

Amen
