An Action of Stupidity Hazrat Hakeem ul Ummnat Thanwi said: "Every sin is a sign of stupidity and foolishness. Anyone who commits sin, then this is a sign that there is some deficiency in his intellect. He is disobeying such a Being in whose hands is our life and death, our health and sickness, peace and comfort, good and evil end. If his intellect was sound he would never commit sin. As for the one who casts evil glances, Hazrat says that he is extremely foolish. By casting glances, he attains nothing other than restlessness in his heart. By looking at a beauty, one never attains him/her, rather one gets uneasiness and the heart becomes restless when one remembers him/her. Allah Ta'ala has granted me a new aspect of knowledge. To cause inconvenience to any Muslim or to bother him in any way is HARAAM. Now that person who is casting evil glances, is he not a Muslim? Is he not causing pain to himself and making his own heart restless? Therefore, the same way it is forbidden to cause pain and harm to any Muslim, it is likewise forbidden to cause pain to one's own heart by making it restless and uneasy.

Weakness of Eyesight: By casting evil glances, a person's eyesight becomes weak. This is because by guarding one's gaze, one is fulfilling gratitude for the blessing of sight and the reward of gratefulness is the increase of blessings as it is mentioned in the Qur'aan Shareef: "If you are grateful then We will most definitely increase you in blessings." (Sura Ibrahim; Ayat 7, Juz 13) Casting evil glances on the other hand is ingratitude and the punishment of ingratitude is severe, as is mentioned in the Qur’aan Shareef: "And if you are ungrateful then know that My punishment is severe."

Today, people want to give Islam a facelift; to make Islam fit into modern society. Islam does not need a facelift – Islam is ever-beautiful, ever-youthful. It is not a way of life that becomes old or out-dated. It is modern society that needs to change and conform.

The Kalima ‘La ilaaha Ilallah’ has an alchemy effect : It changes a Jahannami into a Jannati; it changes one who was hated into one who is now loved; it changes the lowest into the highest. SubhanAllah.

Casting evil glances is clearly forbidden by the clear and explicit text of the Qur'aan. Allah Ta'ala says: “O Nabi Tell the believing men to lower some of their gazes." (Sura Nur ; Ayat 30, Juz 18) (Meaning, do not look at ghair mahram women and handsome boys). Therefore, he who casts evil glances is opposing the clear and explicit command of Qur'aan, and one who opposes the clear and explicit command of Qur'aan is guilty of committing a HARAAM act. Thus, to save oneself from this sin, it is sufficient to meditate upon the fact that the one who casts evil glances is opposing a commandment of the Qur’aan. In other words, he is disobeying Allah

The temperament of the nafs (carnal self/ego) is like that of the dog. It also needs to be disciplined and trained, and it also requires a leash. This leash is the leash of Shariah, the love and fear of Allah Ta’ala, and fear of accountability on the Day of Judgment, tied tightly and securely around its neck.
