The Critical and Destructive Effects of Pornography

Leadership

Means to lead the nation. But how are the leaders of Pakistan, who are going to destroy the young generation of Pakistan? I was sitting in a restaurant some people were talking about that Pornography websites are starting again on the Internet.

How is an Islamic country where there is no one to stop pornography? Pornography which being a Taboo especially in Islamic societies has led to its serious spread like an epidemic rather than a strict no.

Today, the great majority of youth whether they belong to any religion are being poisoned by this addiction, and it would not be wrong to say that they are not only destroying themselves but also corrupting and disrupting the dignity of the entire society they are living in.

An increase in rape cases in almost every corner of the world is one such dangerous consequence of pornography where it appears as the easiest solution of expelling out the alarmingly increased frustration level.

Rape cases are increasing in Pakistan as a result of an increase in pornography. Indeed, the easy accessibility to the internet in their secluded rooms is the core of this addiction in youth with a bad company of friends nurturing it, on the other hand, how long will we remain silent towards this serious reality and will let our youth go senseless. It’s time to help them, and for this, every one of us should strive hard to save those who may be actively or passively living as porn victims.

Therefore, we need to educate our youth about the harmful impacts of pornography on their life patterns i.e. physical, spiritual, and mental comfort. We need to educate ignorant parents.

We need to aware the society as a whole of the serious threats it has from this evil. We need to help people from all religions be they Muslims, Christians, etc.

The Concept of Pornography in Islam:

Islamic scholars can play a key role in serious matters. Islam has given strict rules against indecent and shameful activities. It is a religion that understands human needs and desires perfectly.

It stresses restraint from any form of vulgarity and immorality. Therefore, Muslim parents are advised to marry their children as soon as possible. Married life is called the most blessed activity as it saves the husband and wife from committing sins. The men are ordered to lower their gaze in the market places.

On the other hand, the women are addressed to cover their bodies with a veil so that people cannot see their beauty. Islam has given strict rules against Pornography. Whether you are committing a sin or just watching a video, every shameful deed is strictly outlawed.

Holy Quran says:

The Qur'an in Surah Al-An`aam (6: 151) says: "Do not even go near lewdness - whether overt or covert". In Surah Al-A`raaf (7: 33) the Qur'an says: "Declare [O Prophet,] indeed my Lord has prohibited lewdness, whether overt or covert." Then at another instance, in Surah Bani-Israeel (17: 32) the Qur'an says: "Do not even go near fornication".

Pornography and all such material that has the potential of leading us astray from the path of God and making us unmindful of our real goal in life should be avoided to the ultimate.

We must always remember that one of the most effective among the weapons of Satan to lead us astray is to guide us to the path of lewdness (Al-Baqarah 2: 267) and we must always be on our guard against Satan's attacks.

The fight against pornography and obscenity not less than the Operation Zarb-e-Azb. We must stand up against it. Social evil.

Lastly: I extremely request the Leaders of this Islamic State Pakistan please take serious and practical steps in this regard. I would request the respected readers to pass this message on especially to those who are terribly fighting with this condition so that it may help them heal.

Let’s pray to The Lord of all mankind that He Allah Almighty may save our generations from being prey to this evil and may those who are walking over this thorny path pay heed to it. Ameen!
