Faraz Rabbani – Weekly Q&A Why Shouldnt We Feel Disgusted Towards Those Who Commit Zina

Just as we

hate,

acts like,

why can't we be disgusted

for people who commit such acts?

The way

that is most according with the sunnah

is that we

hate the wrongdoing, not the wrongdoer.

We hate the sin and not the sinner.

Rather, we look at

Allah's creation

with the eye of mercy,

with the commitment of being of sincere

counsel and concern to them.

That is our duty as believers.

Right?

That is our duty as believers,

to have a good opinion of them that

the person who is committing a sin, maybe

they did it in a moment of weakness.

Maybe they did

it out of forgetfulness, out of error.

They're struggling.

Their companions

of our beloved prophet

who were punished

for drinking alcohol.

And when some

some other companions spoke ill of them, the

prophet said,

don't say bad things about them

because this is a person who loves

Allah and his messenger. This is a person

who loves

Allah and his messenger.

It's not a light matter. He loves

Allah and his messenger. Similarly,

there's a man who committed Zina, a Sahabi

who committed Zina.

And then he committed Zina again. He committed

Zina again. He was punished.

And some people were bad mouthing him. And

the prophet

said,

stop.

Don't assist his Shaitan against him. Meaning, the

the man is struggling.

Why are you adding to his struggle?

By shaming him.

And this is particularly for those who

are sinning out of struggle,

people who are sinning

out of struggle.

So we ask Allah to

uphold that prophetic

character and concern.

And there's some detail to this. And in

our classes on the Tarikhul Muhammediyyah, we we

we look at what the Ulema say about

this with some detail.
