Indecency/Immorality

Assalam 'aleykum,

Bismillaah wa salaatu wa salaam 'ala Rasulilaah salla Allaah 'aleyhi wa salaam.

I wanted to say something about indecency/immorality.
This post has actually been triggered by a message we've received earlier this month from a young sister. For confidentiality purposes, I won't reveal any of the contents of the message but the least I can say is that it left me disturbed and disgusted.

Indency and immorality are spreading across the globe at a fast speed, things that would have been considered immoral  few years ago have now become the 'norm' for many people. Society is promoting the spreading of these indecent behaviors, thoughts and dissolves it so that it is smoothly assimilated by people. Sadly, muslims whether in the West or in the East have not been much successful in resisting these forces of the Shaytaan from approaching them.

It's quite sad when our Prophet 'aleyhi salaam was the epitome of good morals and character so much so that Allaah says regarding the Prophet 'Indeed, you are on an exalted standard of character'. We need to be worthy of being part of the Ummah of Muhammad (peace be upon him).

 I remember reading about a companion who had seen from a woman something he shouldn't have and was severely affected by remorse and regret that he ran away from Medina to the near-by mountains and would be crying & crying. The Prophet was concerned about his absence so he sent some of the companions to look for him and they found him at last. This is the feeling we should be getting when we witness indecency or immorality. This is the reaction the heart filled with faith gets. As for the dead heart or the sick one, the reaction is minimal almost non-existent.

Another problem is public education, I suggest parents who have young childreen or teenagers to reconsider sending their kids in public schools where they are taught many things you woudn't approve of! In schools, the teaching staff is not the only teacher! Best believe that their class-mates will also be doing some teaching.. and not the kind of teaching we would like our kids to learn.
Children are a trust from God, be wary of neglecting this trust.

Preserve yourselves O believers.

'O You who Believe! Protect yourselves and your families from the Fire which the fuel for it are men and stones.'

Subhanaka Allaahuma wa bihamdik.
