Zina.
"The Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace), in the Hadith recorded by Bukhari, predicted that Zina will become widespread towards the end of time (along with alcohol consumption and ignorance). Sadly, it seems we are living in such times! Through my experience of dealing with people's life issues and problems, I say with a very heavy heart that Zina - in it's various forms - has engulfed the Muslim Umma. Married or single, male or female, old or young, so called practising or non-practising, connected to Mosque and Islamic and charitable work or disconnected, it seems like everyone is at it, la hawla wa la quwwata illah billah... So many stories and incidents I have heard, and some so obscene that nothing amazes me anymore.
When I say Zina, I mean in all it's forms - from full blown relationships and adultery to the Zina of the eyes, porn addiction and emotional attachments. Social media has exacerbated the problem even more, and committing Zina has never been easier than it is now. People, sadly in the name of a Islam at times, build emotional attachments with others via social media. There are some who are married with children and living with their spouse, but have an emotional attachment to another person living on the other side of the world.
Death is just around the corner brothers and sisters. Let us fear Allah. A bit of fun in this life at the expense of punishment in hellfire in the hereafter is just not worth it. And believe me, the grass is not always greener on the other side. A distant relationship may feel fun, but try living with the person whom you're chatting to all day and night, and you'll realise very soon the person is not worth spoiling your marriage, life, spirituality and connection with Allah. O Allah protect us and our children from the harms of Zina, and everything related to it, Ameen."
