Anxiety and Its Alleviation in The Light of Sirah
Anxiety, the Global Burden Disease, is one of the most pressing psychological challenges of the modern age, affecting emotional, cognitive and physical health. Contemporary psychological offers therapeutic options such as cognitive behavioral therapy and pharmacological treatment, yet increasing attention are being directed towards holistic model that integrate spirituality with psychological insight. This study explores the prophetic sīrah (life of Prophet Hazrat Muḥammad Rasullah Khatam un Nabiyyen Sallalahu Alihi Wa Aleihi Wa Sallam) as a framework for understanding and alleviating anxiety. Using qualitative thematic analysis, it examines pivotal events including the loss of near and dear ones, the persecution at Ṭā’if, the migration to Madinah, the Battle of Trench, to identify strategies employed in confronting distress, fear and uncertainty. The analysis highlights central themes, tawakkul (trust in Allah), Sabr (patience), du‘ā and dhikr, proactive approach, active problem solving, focus on probabilities, as anxiety coping mechanisms. Communal solidarity also emerges as a crucial element of the Prophetic psychotherapeutic approaches, while underscoring the unique comprehensiveness of the sīrah's paradigm. The study concludes that the Prophetic legacy presents a robust, integrative model and framework for mental well-being, uniting faith, psychological understanding, and intelligent efforts and techniques to address the multidimensional nature of anxiety in contemporary context.
سورة طه في ضوء البلاغة العربية والأسلوبية الحديثة (دراسة نظرية تطبيقية)
This study examines Sūrat ṬāHā as a Qur’anic model rich in rhetorical and stylistic phenomena, through an approach that integrates the achievements of the classical Arabic rhetorical tradition with the tools of modern stylistics. The study aims to uncover the distinctive stylistic features of the Qur’anic discourse in the sūrah, with particular emphasis on the story of Moses and Aaron (peace be upon them), highlighting the role of naẓm (textual arrangement), dialogue, repetition, and syntactic deviation in the production of meaning. Methodologically, the research adopts a descriptive–analytical approach and concludes that Arabic rhetoric and modern stylistics constitute two complementary frameworks for understanding the eloquent and inimitable nature of the Qur’anic discourse.
مقاصد شریعہ کے متعلق امام غزالیؒ کے نظریات:ایک تحقیقی جائزہ
Imam Al-Ghazali's theory on the objectives of Shariah (Maqasid al-Shariah) emphasizes the preservation of five essential elements for human well-being and societal harmony: religion (deen), life (nafs), intellect (aql), lineage (nasl), and wealth (maal). According to Al-Ghazali, the core aim of Shariah is to safeguard these necessities at three levels: necessities (daruriyyat), needs (hajiyyat), and enhancements (tahsiniyyat). He believed that any legal ruling must ultimately serve one of these objectives, ensuring justice, balance, and the common good. His framework laid the intellectual foundation for later scholars and continues to shape contemporary Islamic legal and ethical thought, especially in aligning law with human welfare.

Legitimate Expectations and Pre-Contractual Duties of Contracting parties: Reconciling Islamic-Law Minimalism with Doctrines of Pre-Contractual Good Faith
This article explores how the doctrine of legitimate expectation and the developing idea of pre-contractual good faith in English law can be better understood through the guiding principles of Islamic law, which has long emphasized honesty, transparency, and the avoidance of harm at the earliest stages of negotiation. While English law traditionally prioritizes contractual freedom and limits duties prior to agreement, its gradual recognition of reliance and fairness mirrors values already embedded in Islamic legal reasoning. By highlighting Islamic law’s disciplined minimalism—offering clear ethical boundaries without overburdening parties, the article also suggests that its normative framework provides a subtle yet effective model for shaping modern pre-contractual duties. In doing so, it shows how Islamic legal principles can quietly enrich contemporary discussions on good faith, offering a coherent foundation for protecting legitimate expectations while preserving the autonomy of contracting parties.

انسان کی فکری ترقی میں ادیان سماوی کا کردار: ایک تحقیقی جائزہ
The purpose of this study is to investigate the important and complex contributions that divine faiths such as Islam, Christianity, and Judaism have made to human intellectual growth. These revealed religions have had a significant impact on human cognition, philosophy, science, ethics, law, and education throughout history, in addition to addressing spiritual and moral aspects of existence. This research erratically looks at how religious texts, prophetic teachings, and heavenly revelations paved the way for logical thought, advanced literacy and knowledge, and stimulated reflection on the cosmos and human nature. During crucial junctures like the Islamic Golden Age and the European Enlightenment, it emphasizes the contributions of religious scholars and civilizations like the Muslim philosophers and scientists, Christian theologians, and Jewish rabbis who united revelation and reason and significantly influenced human thought. The study also examines the Quran's emphasis on knowledge, reasoning, and introspection as means of fostering intellectual growth. This study offers a thorough explanation of how heavenly faiths have functioned as dynamic forces for intellectual progression, cultural flourishing, and civilizational progress rather than as obstacles to intellect by utilizing historical, analytical, and comparative techniques. The study comes to the conclusion that throughout history and across many communities, the divine message has served as a constant source of inspiration for the advancement of human reason, creativity, and critical thinking.
سائنس پر قرآنی نقطہ نظر اور عصری فکر میں اس کا اطلاق
The Holy Quran is the first book on Earth that has made astonishing revelations about the heavens, the Earth, and everything in between, inviting humanity to study and observe the wonders of nature. The entire Quran encourages mankind to explore the marvels of creation. There are approximately 756 verses in the Quran that contain profound scientific insights. If deeply analyzed, these verses can lead to groundbreaking discoveries in the world of science. The Quran invites humanity to contemplation and reflection, viewing scientific advancement as a means to understand the realities of the universe. From the Quranic perspective, science is not merely a tool for material progress but a means to recognize the signs of the Creator. There are around 756 verses in the Quran that encompass fundamental aspects of modern scientific research. A thoughtful examination of these verses can result in remarkable scientific revelations. The Quran sheds light on various aspects of scientific knowledge. When scientific disciplines are explored within it, we find that there are 328 references to biology, 37 to chemistry, 19 to mathematics, systematic numerical patterns, and 31 to physics. These references highlight the significance and depth of scientific subjects. To this day, science has not been able to disprove the theories presented by the Quran. Undoubtedly, the Quran and Islam have contributed to the expansion and dignity of scientific knowledge. Many principles of modern scientific progress align with Quranic teachings
بیع قبل القبض نصوص و فقہی آراء کی روشنی میں جائزہ
Economy is indispensable for human life; therefore, mankind has always strived for economic reform and development. Like other means of earning wealth, trade has consistently attracted human attention. However, in the pursuit of commercial advancement, a Muslim trader is not entirely free; rather, he is bound to conduct his transactions in accordance with the rules and regulations of Shariah. Implementing Shariah principles in trade sometimes encounters administrative challenges. This is because, in modern commerce, Muslims do not only trade with fellow Muslims but also with non-Muslims. Moreover, the scope of Muslim traders’ business is no longer confined to a village, neighborhood, city, or country; it has now expanded across international borders. As a result, Muslim traders face numerous issues from a Shariah perspective. One of the significant issues is the sale before possession (Bay‘ Qabl al-Qabd). In prevailing international and online trade, a merchant often finds it difficult to bear the additional costs and extended time required to bring a product into his possession. Consequently, selling a product to the customer without taking physical possession has become a practical necessity in competitive markets. The present study examines this issue in the light of textual sources and juristic traditions, with applications to certain contemporary scenarios.
عناية العلامة شبیر أحمد العثماني رحمه الله بالبلاغة النبوية في فتح الملهم بشرح صحيح مسلم
This article investigates Allāmah Shabbīr Ahmad al-‘Uthmānī’s engagement with prophetic eloquence (al-balāghah al-nabawiyyah) in his commentary Fatḥ al-Mulhim bi-Sharḥ Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim.The study employs critical textual analysis to examine al-‘Uthmānī’s linguistic, rhetorical, and contextual approaches, with reference to his reliance on earlier authorities such as al-Nawawī, Ibn Ḥajar, and al-Bayhaqī, as well as his independent contributions. The analysis reveals that al-‘Uthmānī frequently transmits and synthesizes classical insights without major innovation. However, he occasionally offers original rhetorical observations that deepen the appreciation of prophetic discourse. His use of *asbāb al-wurūd* demonstrates methodological promise, though not applied consistently throughout the commentary. The study concludes that al-‘Uthmānī’s contribution lies chiefly in preserving and systematizing inherited scholarship, while providing limited yet meaningful original insights. His work underscores the importance of rhetorical analysis in ḥadīth studies and positions *Fatḥ al-Mulhim* as a transitional but valuable link in the broader trajectory of Islamic intellectual tradition.

السيد المحدث ميان نذير حسين الدهلوي وموقفه عن التصوف
Al-Sayyid al-Muhaddith Miyan Nazir Husain al-Dehlawi (1805–1902) was a distinguished hadith scholar, researcher, and teacher of the Indian subcontinent, widely known in the scholarly world by the title “Muhaddith of Delhi.” He devoted more than half a century to the teaching and dissemination of hadith, and his services in this field provided the scholars of the subcontinent with a firm intellectual and academic foundation. Among his students were many eminent scholars and hadith experts who later carried forward the mission of promoting hadith sciences across the region. Thus, he is regarded as one of the pivotal figures who played a decisive role in the preservation and development of hadith studies in nineteenth-century South Asia. Regarding to Sufism, Miyan Nazir Husain al-Dehlawi’s perspective was both balanced and scholarly. He emphasized that true Sufism is essentially the purification of the soul, the refinement of character, and spiritual elevation—provided it remains in harmony with the teachings of the Qur’an and Sunnah. However, he strongly rejected those practices and doctrines which, under the guise of Sufism, led to deviation from the Shari‘ah and gave rise to innovations—such as the un-Islamic interpretations of wahdat al-wujud unity of being or unorthodox rituals associated with graves and shrines. In his view, Sufism that adheres to the Qur’an and Sunnah invigorates faith and embodies the spirit of religion, whereas detachment from Shari‘ah renders it a path of misguidance and deviation. The scholarly contributions of Miyan Nazir Husain al-Dehlawi were not confined to the teaching of hadith; his intellectual outlook also reinforced the academic and theological foundations of Ahl al-Sunnah in the subcontinent. His stance on Sufism reflects his broader vision that religious life must be rooted in moderation, balance, and unwavering adherence to the Sunnah. This study will therefore present a detailed account of both his scholarly services and his perspective on Sufism.
اسلاموفوبیا کی تحریک :عوام میں اثرپذیری کے اسباب و طریقہ کار کا تجزیاتی مطالعہ
This research paper, titled "The Islamophobia Movement: An Analytical Study of its Causes and Mechanisms of Public Influence," delves into the complex and pervasive issue of Islamophobia. It posits that Islamophobia is not merely a manifestation of fear or hatred but a deliberate and organized movement that utilizes psychological, linguistic, and media-related tactics to manipulate public perception of Islam and Muslims. The study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the core factors that enable this movement to gain traction within public discourse. The research investigates several key hypotheses. First, it explores the concept of "mind-shaping," analyzing how the Islamophobia movement constructs a negative psychological framework within public consciousness. It examines how this framework is built using a hidden language of hate within public narratives. Second, the paper scrutinizes the deliberate semantic distortion of key Islamic terms like "Jihad," "Shari'ah," and "Khilafah," which are stripped of their original meanings and presented as symbols of terror and extremism. The study also analyzes the role of modern media in the deliberate destruction of Islamic identity, highlighting how new platforms are exploited to disseminate misinformation and stereotypes. Furthermore, this paper addresses the phenomenon of public silence and apathetic consciousness, arguing that this inaction inadvertently provides an enabling environment for the Islamophobia movement. Simultaneously, it brings to light the crucial role of resistance from non-Muslim intellectuals who have spoken out against Islamophobia. This resistance serves as a powerful "light of conscience" against the prevailing public narrative. By employing sociological, psychological, and communication theories, this study provides a nuanced understanding of the Islamophobia movement's multifaceted nature and its profound impact on global society and interfaith harmony.
جراحیِ حسن (Aesthetic Surgery) کا فقہی و اصولی مطالعہ
Modern medical science has made it possible, through aesthetic surgery, to alter the structure of the human body and enhance external beauty. The trend of such procedures is rapidly increasing worldwide, whether it involves correcting facial features, removing wrinkles, or reshaping body structure. This dimension gains particular significance because Islamic law provides clear guidance on unnecessary alterations to the human body, where principles such as *taghyīr khalq Allāh* (alteration of God’s creation), “necessity,” and “need” play a central role. Historical evidence demonstrates that human requirements, medical advancements, and Sharīʿah principles have always progressed side by side, and despite changing circumstances, the continuity of juristic guidance has remained intact. This study emphasizes that in Islam, aesthetic surgery is permissible only when it aims at treatment or the removal of a defect, whereas procedures motivated solely by adornment, fashion, or personal desire are prohibited. The research explores the foundations upon which the permissibility or prohibition of aesthetic surgery is determined, how the distinction between necessity and mere desire can be drawn, and to what extent modern medical standards can be incorporated within the Sharīʿah framework. In addressing these questions, the study also considers the historical development of scholarly discourse from the Abbasid period to contemporary times, engaging with the opinions of classical scholars such as ʿIzz ibn ʿAbd al-Salām and al-Shāṭibī, along with modern researchers. Comparative analysis of classical juristic texts and contemporary fatwas is conducted, and the extracted principles are examined in light of modern medical ethics, including patient informed consent and professional responsibility. The findings of this research indicate that surgery with therapeutic or reconstructive objectives may be deemed permissible, whereas procedures undertaken solely for cosmetic enhancement are impermissible. On this basis, the study underscores the need for collaborative guidelines formulated jointly by experts in Islamic jurisprudence and medicine, raising public awareness, and fostering international cooperation to evaluate new surgical techniques from a Sharīʿah perspective.
سامی مذاہب میں معاشرتی اصولوں اور عبادات کا تجزیہ
The Semitic Religions that include Judaism, Christianity, and Isla, place a fundamental emphasis on social ethics and religious practices that shape human interactions and social structures. These religions uphold principles such as justice, compassion, equality, and charity, which are deeply rooted in their sacred scriptures and religious teachings. Judaism, through the Torah and Talmud, promotes laws that guarantee social justice and community responsibility. Christianity, based on the teachings of the Gospel, emphasizes love, sacrifice, and service to humanity as core values. Islam, as revealed in the Quran and Hadith, provides a comprehensive framework for social harmony, emphasizing justice, benevolence, and the fulfillment of human rights. These ethical teachings establish a moral foundation for interpersonal relationships and social order, demonstrating that religion is not merely a personal matter, but a guiding force for collective well-being. The religious practices of these confessions further reinforce their social principles. Judaism observes rituals such as the Shema (prayer), Yom Kippur (fast), and sacrificial offerings to strengthen spiritual devotion and community bonds. Christianity emphasizes prayer, fasting, baptism, and the Eucharist as essential acts of worship that promote spiritual purification and social solidarity. Islam, through its fundamental practices of Salat (prayer), Sawm (fasting), Zakat (charity), and Hajj (pilgrimage), integrates worship with social responsibility, ensuring economic justice and communal harmony. Despite the differences in their practices, these religions collectively aspire to create a just, moral, and spiritually enriched society. Their shared commitment to ethical conduct and worship highlights the profound role of faith in shaping civilizations and promoting social harmony.

تکافل کا وکالۃوقف ماڈل: مفہوم، اطلاق اور اختلافی فقہی جہات کا تجزیاتی مطالعہ
Takaful practices. By combining the principles of waqf (endowment) and wakalah (agency), it offers a cooperative risk-sharing alternative to conventional insurance while aiming to avoid prohibited elements such as riba, gharar, and qimar. This paper explores the conceptual framework, operational mechanisms, and the jurisprudential debates surrounding this model. It focuses on key issues including the legal nature of the waqf fund, the status of participants as beneficiaries (mauqūf ʿalayhim), the role of the Takaful operator as an agent, and the rules governing surplus distribution. The study also highlights areas of scholarly disagreement, such as the validity of corporate waqf, the Shariah characterization of contributions and claims, and the implications of applying classical waqf rules in a modern financial context. While the model presents a promising alternative, the paper concludes that further scholarly refinement, standardization, and ijtihād are needed to address unresolved juristic concerns and enhance regulatory confidence in Takaful frameworks globally.
Hadith scholars may judge some narrators as weak, which is known as "Jarh" (criticism or discrediting a narrator). This criticism can be absolute, where a narrator is deemed weak in all of their narrations, making all their transmitted hadith unreliable. However, criticism can also be restricted (jarh muqayyad)—meaning scholars limit their judgment based on specific times, circumstances, or individuals. In such cases, a narrator might be considered weak only in certain narrations or under particular conditions, rather than in all of their reports. The restricted (muqayyad) criticism in hadith sciences is divided into five categories: Criticism restricted by specific times—a narrator may be deemed reliable during certain periods but weak in others. Criticism restricted by places—a narrator may be trustworthy when narrating in one location but unreliable in another. Weakening a narrator’s memory but validating their written transmissions—meaning their narration from memory is unreliable, but their hadith recorded in books are accepted. Criticism of a narrator in relation to specific teachers may be accurate when narrating from some teachers but weak when narrating from others. Weakening a narration when the narrator combines multiple teachers in the chain—but considering it reliable if they narrate from each teacher separately. This article explores these five aspects of restricted (muqayyad) criticism with examples, demonstrating their application in hadith evaluation. It provides specific cases where scholars categorized narrators based on time, place, memory, teachers, and chain structure, helping refine authenticity assessments.
Unconventional Marriages in Contemporary Islamic Law: Legal Validity, Ethical Concerns, and Social Implications
This study explores the emergence and evolution of unconventional marriages—such as Nikah al-Misyar, Nikah al-Mutʿa, Nikah al-Muhallil, and secret Nikah—within the framework of contemporary Islamic law. It seeks to answer the fundamental question: Do these non-traditional contracts uphold the legal, ethical, and social purposes of Islamic marriage or compromise them under cultural and economic pressures? The primary aim is to analyze the legal validity and ethical implications of these marriage forms through classical jurisprudence, contemporary fatwas, and societal outcomes. The study concludes that while many of these marriages fulfill formal Sharʿī requirements, they often undermine the maqāṣid al-nikāḥ—justice, protection, and permanence—especially for women. Methodologically, the research employs a comparative doctrinal approach, analyzing classical fiqh texts alongside modern case studies, socio-legal data, and juristic opinions from multiple Sunni and Shia schools. This paper argues that renewed ijtihād and stronger institutional frameworks are needed to address the gap between legal form and ethical substance in Muslim marital practices. By critically evaluating these alternative contracts, the study contributes to the evolving discourse on family law reform in Islamic societies.
بین الاقوامی امن کے قیام میں سیرت النبی ﷺ اور مغربی دنیا کے نظریات کا تقابلی جائزہ
This study adopts a textual and documentary research methodology, primarily employing a descriptive-analytical approach to explore mechanisms and methods of peaceful conflict resolution found in both Islamic sources and international law. The objective is to trace, analyze, and compare the frameworks offered by Islamic teachings and modern legal instruments for resolving disputes peacefully. The research is specifically limited to selected provisions of the United Nations Charter—namely, Article 2 (clauses 1, 2, 3, and 4), Article 33 (clause 1), and Article 43 (clauses 1, 2, and 3). Judicial mechanisms are deliberately excluded from this study, allowing for a focused comparison between international legal norms and the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) as demonstrated in his Seerah. The article seeks to contribute to the discourse on international peace by conducting a comparative analysis between the Prophetic model and Western political thought. It aims to answer critical questions such as: How can the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) be applied to modern international relations? What are the key similarities and differences between the Prophetic approach to peace and the principles found in Western political traditions? In what ways can both perspectives help address the global challenges of conflict, diplomacy, and justice? By examining the key principles of peacebuilding in the Seerah—emphasizing justice, reconciliation, and diplomacy—and evaluating the dominant strategies of conflict resolution in Western thought, the study aims to provide a nuanced understanding of both traditions. Furthermore, it explores the relevance and applicability of these principles in addressing contemporary international crises. Through this integrated analysis, the research aspires to present a framework in which Islamic and Western perspectives may collaboratively contribute to the pursuit of lasting global peace in an increasingly interconnected and conflict-prone world.
سیرت نگاری کی تاریخ وتدوین اورمطالعہ سیرت و مصادرِ سیرت کا ارتقائی جائزہ
There is a deep connection between the sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad and his life story, because both are essential for understanding his teachings. The preservation and compilation of Hadith began in the early period. And this is also the starting point of the compilation of Seerah. The work on Seerah began in the late first century. The contributions of scholars in preserving the Seerah and Hadith are invaluable. In the early period, the noble companions (may Allah be pleased with them) dedicated their lives to safeguarding the biography of the Prophet ﷺ and the blessed Hadith. After them, the Tabi'n and Tabi' Tabi'n upheld this tradition, systematically compiling and structuring the sciences of Hadith and Seerah. Ibn Ishaq, Ibn Hisham, Imam Tabari, and other biographers played a significant role in preserving the life of the Prophet ﷺ. Over time, research and critical analysis continued in Seerah literature, with scholars from different eras contributing new studies to ensure its preservation and advancement. Due to these efforts, today we have authentic sources of Seerah and Hadith, which serve as valuable guides in understanding the teachings of the Prophet ﷺ.

There is no doubt that humanity is advancing rapidly due to the influence of science and technology. Each year brings new inventions and innovations. On one hand, human lives are becoming easier due to science and technology but on the other hand, due to inventions, destruction is also taking place. Another significant example of modern technological progress is artificial intelligence (AI). Developed through technological advancements, AI possesses capabilities that mimic essential human functions. These include accurately understanding and answering questions, storing data, diligently providing information, striving to correct errors, and minimizing mistakes caused by forgetfulness. Over the years, the use of AI has expanded not only in public sectors but also within government institutions, which increasingly rely on AI technologies. In educational settings, the application of AI is growing daily. Reports indicate that its usage in the educational sectors of countries such as those in the Arab world, Australia, Canada, Singapore, and Malaysia has reached levels as high as 70-80%. However, the advent of AI has elicited a range of opinions. Some perceive it as a significant threat to humanity, while others highlight its advantages over potential drawbacks. Every new technology presents its own set of benefits and challenges. The critical factor often lies in how these technologies are utilized. Numerous examples illustrate this point; for instance, while the internet offers countless benefits, it also plays a substantial role in the moral, physical, social, and societal degradation of younger generations, a reality we cannot ignore. This paper aims to explore the application of AI in education in today's context, emphasizing its challenges and drawbacks. These include risks such as misinformation, the spread of fabricated information, lack of trust, unauthorized access to personal data, errors in defining religious terminology, plagiarism, misinterpretation of others' opinions, biases, and the dissemination of inflammatory content. Additionally, it will address the risks associated with errors in interpreting Quranic verses and Hadiths. These issues will be analysed comprehensively considering the Prophet (PBUH) Seerah.
Challenges to Women and Girls’ Right to Education and Work in Afghanistan: The Role of International Community
After the collapse of Afghanistan’s democratic government and Taliban taking control of Afghanistan in August 2021, the lives of Afghan women and girls are severely restricted. Afghanistan is at the crossroads of its political commitments made to the international community and legally binding obligations; its actual domestic laws, policies, and state practices with respect to women's right to education, and work; and its expectation from international community for an economic bailout. Alongside the lack of effective implementation and compliance monitoring on the part of international human rights treaty regimes, perpetual economic instability and underdevelopment are the causing factors that impinges upon the substantial application and indiscriminate realisation of Afghan women's rights. From the perspective of law of physics which suggests that ‘a number of people can do what none is able to do’ this research paper will analyse what role the international community (in general), and Muslim world through the Organization of the Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and European Union’s economic engagements with Afghanistan in specific, can play at the face of the fact that more than half of the economic life of Afghanistan is based on foreign aid and within this half, thirty percent is contributed by European Union.
جِنسی بے راہ روی کے اسباب اور ان کے اِنسداد کا اسلامی نقطۂ نظر: ایک علمی وتحقیقی جائزہ
Allah Almighty has provided humanity with a comprehensive and perfect code of life through Islam, which is flawless in every aspect of individual and collective human life. Islam does not view sexual desires as inherently impure, but encourages their fulfillment in a pure and lawful manner. Because sex is a fundamental human need. However, the consequences of engaging in sexual immorality can be severe, affecting individuals, communities, morality, and society as a whole. It is clear that irresponsible sexual behavior contributes to corruption and societal problems. The peculiarity of Islamic Sharia is that it also bans the reasons and reasons of crime; this is, it cuts the crime from the basis. And this is the principle that the root of evil needs to be cut down and the causes destroyed. If the reason is not present, then it may also not be possible. In an identical way, Islamic Sharia has also banned the reasons for sexual immorality, together with adultery. If there may be a ban on adultery, the causes and reasons of adultery, i.e., evil eyesight, nakedness, and mixing of males and females, are also banned by means of affirming them as crimes, because such bad moves are the purpose and precursor of adultery and “sexual immorality”.
