and a mental disease causes anxiety and depression, endangering the future of a person. The ratio of the diseases related to blood pressure, heart attack and depression is increasing due to the misuse of the mobile phone. Depression is extremely harmful to the family life of a person. The husband and the wife quarrel with each other, shattering the peace of the family. Moreover, these days, mobile phone is also a cause of road accidents. Despite strict laws, many people, when driving a car or riding a bike, talk on mobile phone or hear song or music on it. For this reason, they do not hear the sound of the horn of other vehicles, which causes horrific accidents.

Importance of gaze

Dear Islamic brothers! In order to protect yourself from these harms of the mobile phone; you should use only a simple mobile phone only when necessary. Do not use even a simple mobile phone to send any useless message or to contact a non-Mahram person.

Moreover, we should also refrain from using our eyes unlawfully. Even if our eye unintentionally falls on any non-Mahram woman, we should immediately lower our eyes instead of gazing her. Remember! Unlawful gazing is the sinful path that leads a person to having relationship with non-Mahram people. Hence, we should nip the evil in the bud.

Unfortunately, many people do not protect their eyes even from Haraam scenes. Remember! Our eyes are a great blessing of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. If we see Halal things using our eyes with good intentions, we can be entitled to reward. And if we misuse our eyes, we may deserve being punished. For example, if obedient offspring look at their mother with affection, they get the reward of an accepted Hajj; and if anyone looks at any non-Mahram with lust, he will deserve the torment of Hell because watching non-Mahram woman is the fornication of the eyes.

Sayyiduna  ‘Abdullah Bin Mas’ood رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ narrated: The Beloved Rasool  صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: ‘اَلْعَيْنَانِ تَزْنِيَانِ’ i.e., even eyes commit adultery.

(Musnad Imam Ahmad, vol. 2, pp. 84, Hadees 3912)
