THIRD REMINDER. Yaumul Jumuat 9th/10th day of Ramadan (Friday 25th May). ALLAH, The CREATOR of all CREATION says: and follow not the footsteps of Shaitan (Satan). What are the footsteps of Satan? Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem.
Studies of the Glorious QUR'AN and SUNNAH through the rightours imams has indicated that looking at non-Mahram(Non Relatives) women in real life or on satellite channels or talking to them on the phone or in the markets or flirting with them, reading romantic books and art and fashion magazines with pictures of actresses and beautiful and charming celebrities are all considered as following the footsteps of Satan? As they lead to fornication of the eyes, ears, hands etc.
Imam Al-Qurtuby (in Tafsir Al-Qurtuby vol. 1, P. 308) said, Footsteps of Sheitan covers all the sins and Bid`ahs (innovations in religion). It is clear that the footsteps of Satan apply to all the acts that involve disobedience to Allah (Exalted be He). So, whoever disobeys the orders of Allah (Exalted be He) and His Messenger (peace be upon him), violates the rulings of Shari`ah, and commits things which Allah (Exalted be He) has prohibited is disobeying Him.
All that is mentioned above are considered as footsteps and tricks of Satan about which Allah (Exalted be He) says: He Shaitân (Satan) commands you only what is evil and Fahshâ (sinful), and that you should say against Allâh what you know not. Anyone who commits any such sins has to turn to Allah (Exalted be He) in sincere repentance and never do any such evil deeds again. Whoever knows any person who commits any such deeds has to advise them gently and leniently and explain the evil consequences of their bad deeds and encourage them to do good deeds and draw closer to Allah (Exalted be He) through supererogatory acts of worship and performance of Salah (Prayer) in congregation as Allah and His Messenger have ordered; because Salah prohibits immorality and wrongdoing.
May Allah grant us success! May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam, his family, and Companions! Aameen.
