Effects of Zina Thread.

Zina encompasses all the characteristics of evil: lack of religious commitment, loss of piety, loss of chivalry, lack of protective jealousy (gheerah). You will not find any adulterer who is pious, or keeps his promises, or speaks truthfully, or is a good friend, or has complete

protective jealousy towards his family. Treachery, lying, betrayal, lack of modesty, lack of awareness that Allaah is always watching, lack of chivalry, loss of protective jealousy from the heart – these are the effects and implications of zina.

One of the effects of zina is that it earns the wrath of Allah because His sacred limits are transgressed.

Another effect of zina is the darkening of the face, and the grimness and misert of face that are apparent to other people.

Another effect of zina is darkness of the heart and the extinguishing of its light, which is what causes the extinguishing of light in the face and the darkening thereof.

Another effect of zina is the poverty that it leads to. Another effect of zina is the loss of respect towards the one who does it, and the lowering of his status in the eyes of his Lord and in the eyes of His servants.

Another effect of zina is that is causes him to lose the best of attributes, namely chastity, goodness and righteousness, and it earns him their opposites, namely immorality, evildoing, adultery and betrayal.

Another effect of zina is that it causes him to lose the title of believer, as it was narrated in al-Saheehayn that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:

“No adulterer is a believer at the moment when he is committing adultery.”

Another of the effects of zina is that it exposes one to the possibility of being one of the inhabitants of the oven (tannoor) in which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) saw the adulterers and adulteresses in a dream.

Another of the effects of zina is that it takes away the goodness which Allaah described as the attribute of those who are chaste, and replaces it with the evil which Allaah described as the attribute of the adulterers, as Allah says:

"Bad statements are for bad people (or bad women for bad men) and bad people for bad statements (or bad men for bad women). Good statements are for good people (or good women for good men) and good people for good statements (or good men for good women)”

[al-Noor 24:26]

The adulterers are among the most evil of creation, and Allah has made Hell the abode of evil and its people.

When the Day of Resurrection comes, the evil will be distinct from the good, and the evil will be piled up together, then it and its people will be thrown into Hell.

Another of the effects of zina is the sense of alienation which Allah instills in the heart of the adulterer, and this is like the alienation that shows on his face.

Another of the effects of zina is lack of respect, as his family, friends and others lose respect for him, and he becomes the most despicable thing in their sight; this is in contrast to the chaste person, who is blessed with dignity and sweetness.

Another of the effects of zina is that people will regard him as a traitor and no one will trust him with regard to his wife or child.

Another of the effects of zina is the foul odour that will emanate from him and be detected by everyone who has a sound heart; it will emanate from his/her mouth and body, and were it not for the fact that there are all the people have a similar odour, that smell would spread far

and wide.

Another of the effects of zina is that he/she will feel uneasy and distressed, for adulterers are doing the opposite of what they are seeking.

Whoever seeks the enjoyment and good things of life by means of that which Allah has forbidden, Allah will punish him by letting him get the opposite of that which he is trying to achieve.

For that which is with Allah can only be attained by obeying Him, and Allah never makes disobedience towards Him the means of attaining anything good.

If the immoral person only knew what delight, happiness, ease and good living there is in chastity, he would realize that the delights that he has missed out on are many times greater than those which he may have enjoyed, let alone the consequences in the Hereafter,

when the chaste person will attain the reward of Allah and will be honoured by Him.

Another of the effects of zina is that he has exposed himself to missing out on the delights of al-hoor al-‘iyn in the beautiful abodes of the Garden of Eden (Jannaat ‘Adan).

Other popular effects of zina are STDs (sexually transmitted disease) which some are incurable. Some diseases will lead to not having kids or birth defects. HIV which leads to Aids come from zina.

One of the dreams of the Prophet (saw) about the men and women who commit zina are in a oven.

"I saw a hole like a tannoor (a kind of oven) that was narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. A fire was lit underneath it, and when it came close they rose up until they almost came

out, and when it died down they went back into it. In it were naked men and women who were screaming"

(Bukhari)

Those that the Prophet (saw) saw in the oven are those who committed zina in the world being punished in the hellfire.

Those who committed zina and those who are still committing zina I advise you to stop before death and repent sincerely wholeheartedly and refrain from it. If you cant control yourself seek marriage or fast instead.

Keep in mind that zina and other sinful acts brings nothing but sin and painful punishment from Allah and He will not protect those who transgress.
