Lower Your Gaze & Save Your Faith, Young Man!

[Tawangar]

It is reported that Hassân b. Abî Sinân (rah) went out one 'Eid and when he returned home his wife said, “How many beautiful women have you looked at today?” After she kept asking him, he said, “Woe to you! I have looked at nothing but my toe from when I went out to when I returned to you.”

It is reported on the authority of Al-Wakî’ b. Al-Jarrâh (rah):
We went out one 'Eid with Sufyân Al-Thawrî and he said, “The first thing we will do on this day of ours is to lower our gaze.”

Ibn Abi al-Dunya, Kitab al-Wara'. Taken from Sayings of the Salaf.
Wa Salam.

The further away we go from the Khayr al-Quroon, the less the taqwa is going to be.

Khayr al-Quroon = The Best of Times.
It includes the time of the Prophet (saw) and his Companions (Sahaba), the Followers (Tabi'in) and the Sub-followers (Tab-i-Tabi'in).
These generations are called the Salaf al-Saliheen or the pious predecessors and the time in which they lived is the best of times (Khayr al-Quroon).
Hope that helps.
Salam.

Those who have been blessed with modesty (haya') tend to be socially awkward around the opposite sex......whether they are nerds or not.

Hmmm.. I always thought it was my sheltered upbringing combined with my introverted personality that made me something of a social pariah...
