Is Free Intercourse Permissible In Islam

1:1] In the name of GOD, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

[23:5] And they maintain their chastity.

[23:6] Only with their spouses, or those who are rightfully theirs, do they have sexual relations; they are not to be blamed.

Free intercourse is not permissible in Islam. According to the Quran, the believers shall maintain their chastity. They shall have relations only with their spouses or what is legally theirs. The believing men and women are allies of one another, and they can be true spouses in the context of the Quran. However, a believer may have an existing marriage that may not be in accordance with the Quranic law. Yet this marriage can also be considered lawful or legal.

[4:3] If you deem it best for the orphans, you may marry their mothers – you may marry two, three, or four. If you fear lest you become unfair, then you shall be content with only one, or with what you already have. Additionally, you are thus more likely to avoid financial hardship.

[4:24] Also prohibited are the women who are already married, unless they flee their disbelieving husbands who are at war with you. These are GOD’s commandments to you. All other categories are permitted for you in marriage, so long as you pay them their due dowries. You shall maintain your morality by not committing adultery. Thus, whoever you like among them, you shall pay them the dowry decreed for them. You commit no error by mutually agreeing to any adjustments to the dowry. GOD is Omniscient, Most Wise.

Reasons For Supplication’s Acceptance And Rejection

Some reasons cause the supplication to be accepted by Allah (SWT). They are:

• Repentance to Allah (SWT)
The almighty Allah(SWT) said -I said (to them): Ask forgiveness from your Lord, Verily, He is Oft-Forgiving; He will send rain to you in abundance; And give you increase in wealth and children, and bestow on you gardens and bestow on you rivers.- [Quran 71:10,12].

• Good income: The income must be halal(good) as the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) was asked by one of His companions -How could 1 have my supplication responded to?  The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said – Make your income good and your supplication will be responded to.

• Perform Supererogatory Deeds
Such as voluntary prayer and voluntary fasting.

Reasons For Supplication’s Rejection
As there are reasons for the acceptance of a supplication, there are reasons for the rejection of a supplication. Here are some reasons that will make Allah (SWT) reject the supplication:
• Illegal Income
• Committing A Lot Of Sins
• Doubting Allah (SWT)
• Being Aggressive When Supplicating

What Happens When Supplication is Made?
When someone invokes Allah (SWT), one of the following will happen:
• Allah (SWT) will respond to the supplicant, and He will give him what he asked for.
• Allah (SWT) will prevent the supplicant from being harmed.
• Allah (SWT) will reward the supplicant with “Hasanat” (good reward) which will be kept for him on the Day of Judgment.

Manners Of Supplication

Supplication should start with “(In the name of Allah, Praise is to Allah, and Peace and Blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah) and should end with (Peace and Blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah).

Supplication should be performed secretly and with a present (sincere) heart. Allah (SWT) said: “Invoke your Lord with humility and in secret, He likes not the aggressors” [7:55].

Supplicate Allah (SWT) with humility and express your need of Allah (SWT). He said: “Verily, they used to hasten on to do good deeds, and they used to call on Us with hope and fear, and used to humble themselves before us” [21:90].

Insist on Allah (SWT) in your supplication by repeating it many times. Invoke Allah (SWT) by His Names and

Burial Of The Martyrs

The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) supervised the martyrs’ burial and said: “I bear witness that anyone who is wounded in the way of Allah, Allah will resurrect him with his wound bleeding a liquid which is bloodlike in colour but musk-like in scent.”

Some of the Companions carried their men killed in the war to Madinah, but the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) ordered that they should be sent back to be buried where they were killed. He ordered that they should not be washed but buried as they were after stripping them of their armour and leather clothes. He used to bury every two or three martyrs together in one grave and even join two men in one garment while saying: “Who is the more learned of the Qur’an?” and he would commit him to earth first. He would say: “I bear witness to those on the Day of Resurrection.” He buried both ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr bin Haram and ‘Amr bin Al-Jamuh in one grave due to the affection they used to possess for each other.

They missed the coffin of Hanzalah (radi Allahu anhu); they sought it and found that it was on a spot nearby with water dripping off it. The Messenger of Allah told his Companions that the angels were washing him and said, “Ask his wife”. They asked her, and she confirmed that he had been in a state of ceremonial impurity. That was why Hanzalah was called ‘Ghaseel Al-Mala’ikah’ (i.e. the one washed by the angels).

Wonders Of The Holy Quran

*”And indeed We created man (Adam) out of an extract of clay (water and earth).” (TMQ, Surat Al-Mu’minun: The Believers: 12)

This holy ayah appears in the second tenth of Surat Al-Mu’minun, which is a Makkan Surah. This Surah contains 118 ayahs. It is named in praise of the Mu’minun (Believers), demonstrating some of their merits. The main theme of this holy Surah is faith in Allah (SWT) as One and Only God who is the Self-Sufficient Master that all creatures depend on, and the One who is comparable to none; no one shares His Rule, or claims His Power. It also glorifies Allah and eliminates any description that does not befit His Glory.

Signs of creation in Surah Al-Mu’minun:

1. The creation of man from an extract of clay.

2. The extremely accurate description of the successive stages of embryonic development, and the description of the womb as “a safe lodging” (Al-Mu’minun: 13)

3. The creation of the seven skies and the levels in between.

4. The rain and how it is sent down as needed, then stored under the surface of the earth, which proves that the origin of the subterranean reserves of water is rain.

Drawing Allah’s Blessings From Nearness To Allah’s Messenger

Sahih Muslim Book 30 Chapter 19: THE NEARNESS OF ALLAH’S APOSTLE (MAY PEACE BE UPON HIM) TO THE PEOPLE AND THEIR SEEKING BLESSINGS FROM HIM (AND HIS POSSESSIONS)

Keeping water in which Allah’s Messenger has dipped his hand
Anas b. Malik (radi Allahu anhu) reported that when Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) had completed his dawn prayer, the servants of Medina came to him with utensils containing water, and no utensil was brought in which he did not dip his hand; and sometime they came in the cold dawn (and he did not feel reluctant in acceding to their request even in the cold weather) and dipped his hand in them. Sahih Muslim Book 30, Number 5749:

Preserving the Hair of the Holy Prophet Muhammad Sallalaahu Alaihi wassalam
Anas (radi Allahu anhu) reported: I saw when the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) got his hair cut by the barber, his Companions came round him and they eagerly wanted that no hair should fall but in the hand of a person. Sahih Muslim Book 30, Number 5750:

Anas reported that a woman had a partial derangement in her mind, so she said. Allah’s Messenger, I want something from you. He said: Mother of so and so, see on which side of the road you would like (to stand and talk) so that I may do the needful for you. He stood aside with her on the roadside until she got what she needed. Sahih Muslim Book 30, Number 5751:

What Shall I do When I Have Sinned?

Repentance of the man who committed a hundred murders
Abu Sa’id Sa’d b. Malik b. Sinan al-Khudri says that the Prophet (Peace be upon him) said, “There was a man among a people before you who committed ninety-nine murders. Then he inquired about the most knowledgeable man on earth, and he was led to a monk. He went to him and told him that he had killed ninety-nine people and asked him if he could repent. The monk told him: NO!’ So the man killed him also and completed his hundred. Then he inquired about the most knowledgeable man on earth and was led to a scholar. He went to him and told him that he had killed a hundred people, and asked him if there was repentance for him. The man told him, ‘Yes. And what can come in between you and repentance?’ ‘Then he told him, ‘Go to such and such a town, for in it live people who are devoted to God. Devote yourself there to God in their company and do not come back to your own town for it is an evil place.’

So the man started towards that town. However, while he was halfway through the journey, death overtook him. The angels of ‘mercy’ and ‘punishment’ descended and began to argue over him. The angels of mercy said: ‘This man had repented and was seeking his Lord, (therefore he is our share),’ while the angels of punishment claimed that, ‘he had never done a good thing in life,’ (so he was their share). While they were thus arguing, another angel arrived in the form of a man. They decided to accept him as their arbitrator. He said: ‘Measure the earth between the two towns and let him be assigned to the fate of the one he is nearer to.’ When they measured, they found him nearer to the town he was heading towards. So the angels of mercy took him away.”

Placing Your Trust In The Allah

The Great Shaykh Syed Abdul Qadir Jilani, the Sultan of the Awliya, mentions how Allah Subhana taala tests the Momin believer.

The great Shaykh says that Allah turns his blessings away from him when he depends on worldly connections and worldly people for seeking his livelihood

The Shaikh (may Allah be well pleased with him, and grant him contentment) said: Nothing blocks you from direct receiving of Allah’s grace and favor except your reliance upon people and connections, on good turns and handouts. Thus, creatures are your obstacle to gaining a proper livelihood, in keeping with the exemplary practice of the Prophet. As long as you continue to depend on fellow creatures, hoping for their gifts and favors, going from door to door with your requests, you are associating His creation with Allah. He will therefore punish you with deprivation of that proper livelihood, namely, the lawful earnings of this world.

[Sixteenth Discourse from Futuh al-Ghaib]

The Great Shaykh then says that when the believer removes the trust from the worldly people and relies on his earning power, he is still deprived of his allotted share, but this situation is better than the one before.

Then, when you have renounced the habit of depending on people and associating them with your Lord (Almighty and Glorious is He), and have resorted to earning your own livelihood, you get to rely on this earning power and become complacent about it, forgetting the gracious favor of your Lord. You are once again behaving like a polytheist [mushrik], only now the polytheism [shirk] is concealed, of a subtler nature than the previous kind. Allah (Almighty and Glorious is He) will therefore punish you by depriving you of His favor and of direct access to Him.

[Sixteenth Discourse from Futuh al-Ghaib]

The Great Shaykh then conveys that only when the believer sees Allah as the provider and rest all as the means, only then Allah allots the believer the complete share of what is alloted to him

When you turn from this in repentance, ceasing to allow the encroachment of polytheism, and forsaking reliance on your own earning power and abilities, you will see that Allah (Almighty and Glorious is He) is the Provider. It is He who supplies the means, the facilities, and the energy one needs to make a living, and He is the One who enables all good results to be achieved. All sustenance is in His hand. At times He may supply it to you by way of other people, through your appealing to them while in distress or trying straits, or in response to your appeal to Him (Almighty and Glorious is He), sometimes by way of earned remuneration, and at still other times by His spontaneous favor, in such a way that you do not see the intervening cause and means.

[Sixteenth Discourse from Futuh al-Ghaib]

Finally, the Great Shaykh conveys how Allah treats his special favorites, the prophets and saints, and other favorites

O son of Adam, I am Allah. There is none worthy of worship but I alone. I say to a thing, “Be,” and it comes into being. Obey Me, and I will make you such that you say to a thing, “Be,” and it will come into being. Thus, He has dealt with many of His Prophets, His saints, and His special favorites among the children of Adam.

[Sixteenth Discourse from Futuh al-Ghaib]

Prohibition Of Gheebah

Allah has said: “And spy not, neither backbite against one another. Would any of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? You would hate it (so hate backbiting). And fear Allah. Verily Allah is the One Who accepts repentance, Most Merciful.” (49:12)

“And follow not that of which you have no knowledge. Verily! The hearing, and the sight, and the heart of each of those ones will be questioned.” (17:36)

“Not a word does he (or she) utter, but there is watcher by him ready (to record it).” (50:18)
Abu Musa narrated it: “Some people asked Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him), whose Islam is the best?“ (i.e., who is a very good Muslim?)
The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied, “One who avoids harming the Muslims with his tongue and hands.”
“And the person may utter a word which displeases Allah without thinking how serious it is, as a result of which Allah will record His wrath for him, because of His displeasure until the Day when he meets Him.” (Related by Mu’atta Imam Malik and Tirmidhi).
