My brothers and sisters everywhere!
We appeal you to save humanity from the wickedness into which it has fallen as result of its distancing itself from Allah’s way and religion and opposing His good and pure laws. We will remind you with some of the calamities that have befallen humanity due to its running behind its passions and traveling on Satan’s path of temptation.
Among which:
1. The Murder of One’s Offspring:
The crime of murdering children and offspring which now has reached appalling numbers as a result of abortions performed secretly or openly.[1] This is among the results of making lawful illicit sex and immorality, charging women with working for a living, and facilitating the means that allow men to get women as they want.
2. The Spread of Illicit Sex and Immorality:
The making lawful of illicit sex is a great crime against humanity. Every religion and religious law that Allah sent down from heaven has forbid den this hideous crime and has decreed for it the most severest punishment, specifically stoning, for any man or woman who previously was married and engages in illicit sexual intercourse.
This punishment has come in the law sent down upon Moses (upon him peace) as mentioned in Deuteronomy 22:20-24 regarding the women who her husband consummates marriage with her and finds her not a virgin.
“But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel: then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she shall die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father’s house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you.
“If a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband, then they shall both of them die, both the man that lay with the women, and the women: so shalt thou put away evil from Israel.
“If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto a husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her; then ye shall bring them both unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbor’s wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you.”
Without doubt that this which has been sent down upon Moses (upon him peace) is the law that Jesus (upon him peace) brought; for Jesus came as a prophet, messenger, and ruler judging by the law of the Torah.
As mentioned in the Gospel, Jesus (upon him peace) says:
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called the great in the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 5:17-19)
The Messiah (upon him peace) came to command the honorable and forbid the dishonorable. Illicit sex is among the greatest of what he forbade.
The Messiah is quoted as saying:
“Ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, Thou shall not commit adultery: But I say unto you. That whoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. And if thy right eye offends thee, pluck it out: for it is profitable for thee that one of the members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off; for it is profitable for thee that one of the members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.” (Matthew 5:27-30)
As for the law that has been sent down upon Allah’s final messenger, Muhammad the son of Abdullah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him); it came with complete purity for society from this evil plague of illicit sexual relations by closing its doors and all means that lead to it and terminating its deleterious effects and results.
In the Qur’an sent down [upon the Prophet Muhammad], we find the statement of Allah (Blessed and Exalted be He):
“And approach not illicit sex; surely it is an indecency, and evil as a way.” (The Qur’an, Surah Al-isra’, 17:32)
To these three laws more than one-half of the inhabitants of the earth adhere today. Many of them are proud that they ascribe to these laws.
However the worshippers of their desires and the followers of Satan have set astray many of humanity from this guidance and light. The laws of Satan and the way of the Devil first came to make lawful for a man and a woman if they are consenting, single adults that they may commit this crime without it being considered a sin or evil. Then the world was increased in evil when the callers of equality announced that illicit sex is not a crime when done by any man or woman, married or single, and that this is from one’s personal freedoms. By this they hastened the destruction of the world through the bringing forth of illegitimate children, the destruction of the family, and the destruction of the wombs rendering humanity (and it has become) into a group of cattle and beasts; indeed like swine which have no sense of jealousy or morality.
3. Child Molestation and Incest
Among the greatest acts of perversion that the laws of Satan have brought about is child molestation and incest. The number of incidents have reached such a frightful percentage that warns of the destruction of civilization. The homes of the irreligious have become homes of criminal activity and predatory behavior. Lost are the ideals of a home being a repose, safety, and security. A father’s attack upon his sons, his daughters, the raping of his children and relatives is among the most hideous of what the earth has witnessed from acts of corruption and perversion.
4. Conception by Any Means and the Bringing Forth of Illegitimate Children
Without doubt by the permitting pregnancy by any means whether by the husband or others; the establishment of sperm banks; are among the greatest aggressions against humanity and the permitting of the bringing forth of a people that are not linked in descent to their fathers. This is the defilement of one’s progeny and the destruction of lineage. This will quickly result in ruin and destruction; as there will come forth generations of illegitimate children who do not know the meaning of mercy nor are members of humanity except outwardly. As for being inwardly human, it is that person who is attributed to a mother and father and lives within a circle of relatives and knows the meaning of family and harmony as this will not be present. And by this corruption, killing, and criminal behavior will become prevalent. It will become easy for a person to kill another person without blinking an eye or feeling any remorse in his heart or change of feeling.
5. The Abasement and Humiliation of Women
These unjust laws that falsely call for equality have attacked that it has taken out women from their covering and respect so that they may earn their livelihood by their own hand like men. It is an injustice to women, degraded her to the fullest, caused her to bear great weights, and has turned her into a cheap commodity that every wicked person and passing person may get hold off to throw away on the side of the road when finished.
One time, a woman was exalted in her fathers’ house. He would stand up for her needs. He would propose marriage on her behalf and men would seek of her hand from her guardian and paying her a dower. The husband was responsible for all her maintenance and if she gave birth, the maintenance of her children was upon her husband not her. When she becomes a mother it becomes her right upon her children, after the right of Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He). This is the woman that Allah’s Islamic law has honored in this manner and now has become a degraded, cheap commodity indeed sold with every product. Today a woman is a cover girl and Satan’s trap and passing enjoyment and a sadden women toiling outside the home and sadden inside the home being burdened with pregnancy and child birth and having to struggle and work to acquire a livelihood.
All men and women are called to lift this injustice that has befallen upon women by such humiliation and degradation.
[1] Allah says condemning the pre-Islamic Arabian practice of female infanticide:
“… when the buried infant shall be asked for what sin she was slain,…” [The Quran, Surah At-Takwir, 81:8]
“… and when any of them is given the good tidings of a girl, his face is darkened and he grieves inwardly, as he hides himself from the people because of the evil of the good tidings that have been given unto him, whether he shall preserve her in humiliation, or trample her into the dust. Ah, evil is that they judge!” [The Quran, Surah An-Nahl, 16:58-59]
