Zina, A Temptation: Zina/Adultery and its Adverse Effects on Society

About this lecture

In this lecture, the speaker examines the sin of zina (fornication and adultery) in depth — exploring why it is one of the most dangerous temptations for human beings, the wide-ranging harms it causes to individuals, women, children, and society as a whole, and the comprehensive preventive framework Islam provides. Drawing on Quranic verses, hadith, and contemporary social research, the speaker makes a compelling case for why this sin is not merely a private matter, and concludes with practical guidance on lowering the gaze, avoiding free mixing, the role of marriage and fasting, and the importance of sincere repentance for those who have fallen into this sin.
