How Watching Pornography Changes The Brain

[Ahmedfj]

Makrooh

Although all legal schools of thought consider masturbation to be haram, some scholars have allowed it as a last resort for unmarried individuals attempting to avoid succumbing to the greater sin of zina.[


The Quran, chapter 23 (Al-Muminun), verse 5 to 7:

“​

“And who guard their private parts, Except before their mates or those whom their right hands possess, for they surely are not blameable, But whoever seeks to go beyond that, these are they that exceed the limits” — translated by M. H. Shakir

The Quran, chapter 24 (An-Noor), verse 33 to 33:

“​

And let those who do not find the means to marry keep chaste until Allah makes them free from want out of His grace. And (as for) those who ask for a writing from among those whom your right hands possess, give them the writing if you know any good in them, and give them of the wealth of Allah which He has given you; and do not compel your slave girls to prostitution, when they desire to keep chaste, in order to seek the frail good of this world's life; and whoever compels them, then surely after their compulsion Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.— translated by M. H. Shakir




A narration attributed to Abdullaah ibn Mas’ood reports:

“​

We were with the Prophet while we were young and had no wealth whatsoever. So Allaah’s Messenger said, "O young people! Whoever among you can marry, should marry, because it helps him lower his gaze and guard his modesty (i.e. his private parts from committing illegal sexual intercourse etc.), and whoever is not able to marry, should fast, as fasting diminishes his sexual power." Bukhari:5066.



It should be noted that this hadis mentions illegal sexual intercourse instead of masturbation however it also should be noted that the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) recommended fasting and did not mention masturbation.
Ibn Kathir wrote in volume 5 p. 458:[2]




A narration attributed to Hasan ibn Arfah reports:

“​

Nabi (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) said, 'Seven persons are such that Allah will not look at them on the Day of Qiyaamat nor will He purify them nor will He include them among the learned and Allah will enter them into Jahannam. They will enter Jahannam first except for those who repent. As those who repent Allah will accept their repentance.

1. A person who masturbates.
2. A person who performs the act of sodomy.
3. The person upon whom the act of sodomy is performed.
4. A perpetual drunkard.
5. The person who hits his parents so much that they appeal for help.
6. The person who harms his neighbors so much so that they curse him.
7. The person who commits adultery with his neighbor's wife.

Kudos Badrobot, for bringing up a topic the average Muslim considers a taboo.
Very informative article, addressing a very sensitive but alarming issue.

Just a suggestion though. 5-10 years later, when other XPF members will check the Off Topic board, they will not bother to 'sieve' out of it whatever that can be a useful guide. It would be good if you could group all the 'sensitization' threads into a sub-board, or something similar, just like you've done for the different academic evaluation institutions.

that would be stupidity . No one will visit that , ehm , ''Sub-Board'' and , ehm , ''sensitization'' as the Shaitan will whisper into us that this will consume crucial time and we will not open it , because let's face it , we have to study . We will put it into the ''To Do When I Find Time'' list and it will soon go into the '' I Forgot To Do This '' Recycle Bin . This way is better :
One , ehm , ''sensitization'' at a time

If that would be "stupidity", then I wonder what the whole 'Off Topic' board is.

And anyway, that wasn't for you but for your and everybody else's children. So that when the Shaytan starts 'whispering' to them, they know what to 'whisper' back.

Let's face this too. "Study" isn't only what you "eat and digest and then vomit in exams" from books. I am sure many more people here want to go deeper and further in life.

It was a suggestion. Accept or neglect, essential is I spoke my thoughts. Chill.

^ it's true about shytaan.... he works extra hard to divert us from reading something that'd help us become better....

Temme something. Didn't he try extra hard to divert you from posting something that'd help others become better?

If just reading it so 'hard', then how to expect people implementing it?

the thing is that both of you are right in a way....
If I posted it, it's only from the mercy of Allah... if someone read it it's from His mercy too.... also it's His mercy that He only gave shytaan the ability to whisper in our chest(Sadar) and not to control our heart (qalb)...
So multi is right that if sum thing is in a place where the average person is frequent... more chances of them reading it and being aware.
and you are right too that in future it'd be more organized if all of this was in one place.....
so it's really tricky to decide....

The average person clicks on 'what's new' and reads what interests him.
I could as well argue that the average reader, when he sees those interview styled questions will not bother look at articles, and instead, concentrate on his socialization. And it'd end up becoming a debate.

But well, that is up to you.^
