WOMEN ARE THE BIGGEST TEMPTATION (fitnah) FOR MEN & THIS IS THE TRUTH (sharee’ah closes all doors that may lead to evil)::

-

ALLAH says in surah al-Imran: aya 14:

﴿زُيّنَ لِلنَّاسِ حُبُّ الشَّهَوتِ مِنَ النّسَآء وَالْبَنِينَ وَالْقَنَـطِيرِ .....

""Beautified for men is the love of things they covet; women, children, Qanatir Al-Muqantarah of gold and silver,......

ALLAH started with women, because the test with them is more TEMPTING. For instance, the Sahih recorded that the Messenger (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said, 

«مَا تَرَكْتُ بَعْدِي فِتْنَةً أَضَرَّ عَلَى الرِّجَالِ مِنَ النِّسَاء» 

“I have not left behind me any fitnah (temptation) more harmful to men than women.” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5096; Muslim, 2740.) 

&

It is reported that ‘Abdullâh b. Mas’ûd – radhi allahu anhu – said:

If I had ten days left to live, and I knew I would die by the end of them, and I had enough time to get married, I would get married for FEAR of temptation (fitnah of women).

Source: Sa’îd b. Mansûr, Al-Sunan article 493.

ALLAHU AKBAR, we all know and even the Quran & Authentic Sunnah bear witness as well, that how good & strong was the Emaan & Taqwa of the Sahaba (radhi allahu almajmaeen), but after all this also they (sahaba) really FEARED the fitnah (temptation) of WOMEN. 

This also REFUTES the (false) statements of those men/women who say as follows:

1. Why should women do complete Hijab, it is for men that they should lower their gaze only?

2. I am a man of strong taqwa & can control my feelings even after mixing with the opposite sex (women).

3. I do not want to marry, I can control my sexual desires & so on........

The above 3 sayings very clearly OPPOSES the Quran & Authentic Sunnah.

For e.g.: 

RESPONCE (which opposes the point no.1): 

As Quran commands about lowering the gaze for both (men & women), in the same way the Quran also orders wearing of PROPER HIJAB (full covering from head to toe including their faces) for women also. 

PROOF as follows: 

Allaah says in Surah al-Noor 24:31 (interpretation of the meaning):

"“And tell the believing women to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts) and not to show off their adornment except only that which is apparent (like both eyes for necessity to see the way, or outer palms of hands or one eye or dress like veil, gloves, headcover, apron), and to draw their veils all over Juyoobihinna (i.e. their bodies, faces, necks and bosoms) and not to reveal their adornment except to their husbands, or their fathers, or their husband’s fathers, or their sons, or their husband’s sons, or their brothers or their brother’s sons, or their sister’s sons, or their (Muslim) women (i.e. their sisters in Islam), or the (female) slaves whom their right hands possess, or old male servants who lack vigour, or small children who have no sense of feminine sex. And let them not stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment. And all of you beg Allaah to forgive you all, O believers, that you may be successful”

Explanation of Eminent Mufasireen

1. Narrated Safiya bint Shaiba (radhi allahu anha):

'Aisha (radhi allahu anha) used to say: 

"When (the Verse): ""They should draw their veils over their necks and bosoms,........"" was revealed, (the sahabihas) cut their waist sheets at the edges and covered their FACES (also) with the cut pieces." [Volume 6, Book 60, Number 282: (Sahih Bukhari)]

The wording for veil in the ayah of Surah Al-Nur is “Bi-Khumorihina” (and according to lexicographers it denotes to covering the bosoms from top in a way that FACE is covered too) the wording used in hadith is also similar i.e.”ikhtamarna bi ha”, i.e. covering of the FACE also.

2 “Imam Ibn Jarir at-Tabri (Rahimuhullah) and Imam al Hafidh Ibn Kathir (Rahimuhullah) mention under Quranic aya 59: Surah 33”

حدثنـي علـيّ، قال: ثنا أبو صالـح، قال: ثنـي معاوية، عن علـيّ، عن ابن عبـاس، قوله: { يا أيُّها النَّبِـيُّ قُلْ لأَزْوَاجِكَ وَبَناتِكَ وَنِساءِ الـمُؤْمِنِـينَ يُدْنِـينَ عَلَـيْهِنَّ مِنْ جَلابِـيبِهِنَّ } أمر الله نساء الـمؤمنـين إذا خرجن من بـيوتهنّ فـي حاجة أن يغطين وجوههنّ من فوق رؤوسهنّ بـالـجلابـيب، ويبدين عيناً واحدة

Translation: Ibn Abbas(radhi allahu anhum)) narrated regarding (Allah’s) order ""O Prophet! Tell thy wives and thy daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks close round them....…"" 

that Allah commanded the believing women, when they went out of their houses for some need, to cover their faces from above their heads with the Jilbab, leaving only eye showing.

RESPONCE (which opposes the point no.2):

Such men who are so confidence about their desires while being alone with the opposite sex (non-Mahram) such that they are trying to prove (by their false speech), that their level of TAQWA is much more than the Sahaba (radhi allahu almajmaeen) also? NOT POSSIBLE!

Because it has been authentically Narrated by Umar ibn al-Khattab, Messenger of Allaah {Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam} said: 

“No man is alone with a (non-mahram) woman but the SHAYTAAN will be the third one present (to arouse temptation between them or one of them) .” [Al-Tirmidhi 3118]

If a woman needs to speak to a man for a genuine reason, or vice versa, then that may be achieved by sending letters, without having to meet, or they may meet from behind a screen, or in the presence of others so that no khulwah will be involved. This is provided that both are modest and wear CONCEALING GARMENTS. 

RESPONCE (which opposes the point no.3):

Marriage is also from one of the best means to safeguard & fulfil one's desires (temptations), as narrated by al-Bukhaari (5066) and Muslim (1400) from Ibn Mas‘ood (radhi allahu anhu), who said: "We were with the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam), young men who had nothing of wealth. The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said to us: 

“O young men, whoever among you can afford it, let him get married, for it is more effective in lowering the gaze and guarding one’s chastity. And whoever cannot afford it should fast, for it will be a shield for him.” 

This also indicates that in the case of one who is unable to get married, it is prescribed for him to focus on fasting, because it weakens desire and reduces the influence of the Shaytaan, so it is one of the means of attaining chastity and lowering the gaze.

Majmoo‘ Fataawa Ibn Baaz, rahimahullah, (3/329). 

So if we Muslims (men & women) donot follow the commandments of ALLAH SUBHANAHU WATAALA to rectify ourselves, but only use our INTELLECT just to support our (false) claims, than there is nothing left to PROTECT ourselves from falling into such shameful acts of temptations. 

Abu Hurairah (radhi allahu anhu) said: The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said, "Allaah has written the very portion of Zina which a man will indulge in. There will be no escape from it. The Zina of the eyes is the (lustful) look, the Zina of the ears is the listening (to voluptuous songs or talk), the Zina of the tongue is (the licentious) speech, the Zina of the hands is the (lustful) grip, the Zina of the feet is the walking (to the place where he intends to commit Zina), the heart yearns and desires and the private parts approve all that or disapprove it.'' [Al-Bukhari and Muslim] 

Infact such people are the worse people, because those who commit sins atleast realise that they have done wrong & later on even repent. But those people who give importance to their own INTELLECT above the words of ALLAH are the worst of people on this earth. 

In this case, sharee’ah closes all doors that may lead to evil.

And the teachings of ALLAAH are the Guide to the Straight Path.
