The difference between erotic dreams and looking at women
================================================
Erotic dreams increase desire, so what is the difference between erotic dreams and looking at non-mahram women via the TV?
Praise be to Allaah.
Comparing these two things is intrinsically false, and whatever is built on a false basis is also false, and this is due to a number of things:
Firstly:
The word ihtilaam (translated here as erotic dream) refers to what a person sees in his sleep, which includes a man seeing images of intercourse and imagining the sexual act in his sleep. This is something natural which all men and women see. There is nothing wrong with it and there is no sin on a person because of that. It was narrated in the hadeeth of Umm Sulaym that she asked the Prophet of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) about a woman who sees in her dream what a man sees. The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “If a woman sees that she should do ghusl.” (Narrated by Muslim, al-Hayd, 469)
Secondly:
Erotic dreams are beyond a person’s control and he has no power to prevent them. Rather is a means of the body ridding itself of excess material that may harm it if it remains in the body. Hence sometimes a person may see something in his sleep, and sometimes he may not see anything but still experience nocturnal emissions. Hence it is not haraam. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“Allaah burdens not a person beyond his scope. He gets reward for that (good) which he has earned”[al-Baqarah 2:286]
With regard to masturbation, it is haraam because it happens by a person’s intention and will.
The same applies to looking at women, because this happens by a person’s choice and intention, and he does it deliberately. Hence it is not allowed.
Because a person is unable to prevent a sudden glance, he will not be brought to account for that, rather the sin is in following it with another glance. It says in the hadeeth: “O ‘Ali, do not follow one glance with another, for you are allowed the first but not the second.” (Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, al-Adab, 2701; classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi, no. 2229). What is meant by “you are allowed the first” is if that does not happen intentionally, and “but not the second” means because it is done by your own choice, so it is a sin on you.
Thirdly:
Allaah has commanded the believers to lower their gaze. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“Tell the believing men to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts)”[al-Noor 24:30]
The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) also commanded likewise. It was narrated that Jareer said: “I asked the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) about a sudden look. He said, ‘Avert your gaze.’”
(Narrated by Abu Dawood, al-Nikaah, 1836; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood, no. 1880. Hence it is obligatory to obey the command of Allaah and His Messenger. Allaah says
(interpretation of the meaning):
“And let those who oppose the Messenger’s (Muhammad’s) commandment (i.e. his Sunnah legal ways, orders, acts of worship, statements) (among the sects) beware, lest some Fitnah (disbelief, trials, afflictions, earthquakes, killing, overpowered by a tyrant) should befall them or a painful torment be inflicted on them”[al-Noor 24:63]
What people should know and believe is that Allaah does not burden people with things that are too difficult for them or impose hardship upon them. He does not enjoin any impossible commands. This includes lowering the gaze, for it is within a person’s reach to obey this command.
But because the way to Paradise is lined with difficult things and the way to Hell is lined with whims and desires, Allaah has made this a test and a trial for His slaves.

So whoever obeys the command of Allaah and keeps away from that which Allaah has forbidden, the consequences will be good for him and he will have a good Hereafter. And the converse also applies (i.e., one who goes against Allaah’s commands will have bad consequences).
Fourthly:
Allaah has commanded us to lower our gaze and has forbidden us to look at women because of the great evil and mischief that result from that. For looking is the harbinger of zina (unlawful sexual relationships) – Allaah forbid. Hence it says in the hadeeth that Allaah has decreed for the son of Adam his share of zina, which will inevitably catch up with him, and the zina of the eyes is looking, the zina of the tongue is speaking; the heart wishes and hopes and the private parts confirm that or deny it.” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, al-Qadar, 6122). So if a person lowers his gaze and refrains from looking at that which Allaah has forbidden, how could he be motivated to commit immoral actions? What the Muslim must do is to keep away from everything that may lead to immorality, whether that is looking at women, or thinking thoughts that provoke and increase desire. Whoever does those things will only make more worry and distress for himself, to no avail.
As the poet said:
“If you let your gaze wander, this will cause you a lot of heartache.
You will see things that you will desire but you are unable to acquire them, yet you are unable to bear that with patience.”
“How many looks have been fatal to the heart of the one who looked,
as fatal as an arrow, but with no bow and no string.”
And it was said that being patient in lowering one's gaze is easier than trying to put up with the pain that comes afterwards.
We ask Allaah to guide us all. And Allaah knows best. May Allaah bless our Prophet Muhammad.

Can you imagine?
We are living in a time when all the sins of the earlier generations have come together in - the sins of the people of Noah, Firaun, Loot, Haamaan, and Qaaroon, yet Allaah تعالى is merciful to all of us.
We are living in an age that seems worse than Jaahiliyyah, but the scary thing is that Allaah تعالى will not send another Prophet or Messenger to guide us or rectify our affairs!
And scarier than this is that the people are arguing, questioning, doubting, and denying the very foundation of this Deen!
People do not care about the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ, except those upon whom our Lord has mercy.
May Allaah have mercy on us and rectify our affairs. The most clear Aayah that describes our situation is:
اقْتَرَبَ لِلنَّاسِ حِسَابُهُمْ وَهُمْ فِي غَفْلَةٍ مُّعْرِضُونَ
{Mankind’s reckoning has drawn near, while they turn away in heedlessness}
[Surah al-Anbiyaa (21):1]
More than 1,400 years have passed since this Aayah was revealed, and the passing of every moment is bringing us closer and closer to the Day of Judgment, yet we are drowning in our heedlessness.
As the poet said:
People are in their heedlessness...
…while the millstone of death is grinding.
Shaikh al-Sadee رحمه الله commented on this Aayah, saying:
“This is an expression of amazement at people’s attitude and at the fact that no reminder moves them, and they do not pay any attention to any warner, for their reckoning has drawn near and the requital for their deeds, both good and bad, is at hand, but they are turning away in heedlessness, paying no attention to the purpose for which they were created, ignoring that of which they have been warned as if they were created for this world and were born merely to enjoy physical pleasures therein. Allaah keeps renewing the reminder and exhortation to them, but they persist in their negligence and turning away.” [1]
A lot of people are living in heedlessness and ignorance. Many people are behaving like there is no questioning in the grave, no Resurrection, no Judgment, no Reckoning, that they will not be held accountable to Allaah سبحانه وتعالى for their actions!
In our time, there has been an ever increase in the number of men who behave like Dayyooth (cuckold) [2]. Immorality, foolishness, chaos, disorder, confusion, and ignorance are on the rise. There are women who are behaving like men and men who are behaving like women!
May Allaah have mercy on us, we should ever increase in our supplication:
يَا مُقَلِّبَ القُلُوبِ ثَبِّتْ قُلُوبُنَا عَلَى دِينِكَ
❝O Controller of the hearts, keep our hearts firm upon Your religion.❞ [3]
O Allaah! Grant us a good end.
O Allaah! Forgive us, have mercy on us, and rectify our affairs.
May Allaah show us the truth as truth and help us to follow it. And may Allaah show us the falsehood as falsehood and help us to shun it.

1) The one who disobeys his parents,
2) the woman who imitates men in her outward appearance,
3) and the Dayyooth (cuckold).

2) the drunkard,

👉 Overthinking about the future causes anxiety (Hamm)
👉 Overthinking about the past causes sorrow (Hazn)
👉 Overthinking about what other people have causes grief (Ghamm)
👉 So, live in the present but work for the Aakhirah.
`Alee Ibn Abee Taalib رضي الله عنه said: ❝The world is moving away from us, and the Hereafter is coming closer towards us and each one of them has sons. So, be from the sons of the Hereafter, and do not be from the sons of the world. For today (is the time) for action and no Judgment; but tomorrow is (only) Judgment and no action.❞

Both the Dunya and the Aakhirah seek and are sought after. The one who seeks the Aakhirah, the Dunya chases him till his sustenance has been given to him in complete. And as for the seeker of the Dunya, then the Aakhirah chases him till death overtakes him. Verily! The happy is the one who chooses the everlasting bliss over the ever perishing world.

Be in this world as if you are a stranger or passer
Shaikh Salih al-Fawzan حفظه الله تعالی said :
"A stranger is someone who is not in his homeland, so he does not feel comfortable and at ease, and does not desire to remain, rather he is always in preparation to leave and return to his homeland.
This World is not the homeland of the Muslim, rather his residence is Paradise, and he is only in this World to perform his actions for the Hereafter. Hence, he takes what he needs from this World to aid him upon worship but does not become attached to it, since it will not last, the World will come to an end.

One of the scholars of old lived to be more than a hundred years old, still enjoying strength and sharpness of intellect. One day he leapt extremely high in the air.
He was criticized for doing so, and he said: 'These limbs, we safeguarded them from sins in our youth, thus, Allah has safeguarded them for us in old age.'
In contrast, one of the Salaf saw an elderly man begging of the people, and he said: 'This person squandered (the rights of) Allah in his youth, therefore Allah has made him to be lost in his old age.

Deeds Which Are Equal To The Reward Of Hajj
Abu Umamah narrated that the Messenger of Allaah [ﷺ] said:
«مَنْ خَرَجَ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ مُتَطَهِّرًا إِلَى صَلَاةٍ مَكْتُوبَةٍ فَأَجْرُهُ كَأَجْرِ الْحَاجِّ الْمُحْرِمِ، وَمَنْ خَرَجَ إِلَى تَسْبِيحِ الضُّحَى لَا يَنْصِبُهُ إِلَّا إِيَّاهُ فَأَجْرُهُ كَأَجْرِ الْمُعْتَمِرِ، وَصَلَاةٌ عَلَى أَثَرِ صَلَاةٍ لَا لَغْوَ بَيْنَهُمَا كِتَابٌ فِي عِلِّيِّينَ.»
❝Whoever leaves his home having Wudu going to pray the obligatory prayer then his reward is equal to the person performing Hajj whilst in the state of Ihram.
Whoever goes out to pray the Dhuha prayer in the Masjid nothing tires him out except that then his reward is that of a person performing Umrah.
Praying a prayer after another prayer where no falsehood takes place between them then that is written in the Book of good deeds.❞
[Collected By Abu Dawood | Sh. Al-Albānī Graded: 'Hasan' In Saheeh Targheeb, (No. 320) | Translated By Abbas Abu Yahya Miraath Al-Anbiyya]
The Scholar of Hadeeth, Shaykh AbdulMuhsin Al-Abbad [حفظه الله] commented:
❝This means, that whoever performed Wudu and went out to the Masjid wanting to perform a prayer from the obligatory prayers, which Allaah has obligated upon him, which are the five prayers. For this, his reward is like the reward of a person in the state of Ihraam performing the Hajj who wears the clothing of Hajj.
This means, that Allaah [تعالى] rewards the similar to a person in the state of Ihraam Performing the Hajj.
One person went out to perform an obligatory prayer and the person in the state of Ihraam went out to perform a great worship, so the reward of that person is similar to the reward of this person. Allaah’s virtue is vast.❞

Abu Umamah narrated that the Messenger of Allaah [ﷺ] said:
«مَنْ خَرَجَ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ مُتَطَهِّرًا إِلَى صَلَاةٍ مَكْتُوبَةٍ فَأَجْرُهُ كَأَجْرِ الْحَاجِّ الْمُحْرِمِ، وَمَنْ خَرَجَ إِلَى تَسْبِيحِ الضُّحَى لَا يَنْصِبُهُ إِلَّا إِيَّاهُ فَأَجْرُهُ كَأَجْرِ الْمُعْتَمِرِ، وَصَلَاةٌ عَلَى أَثَرِ صَلَاةٍ لَا لَغْوَ بَيْنَهُمَا كِتَابٌ فِي عِلِّيِّينَ.»
❝Whoever leaves his home having Wudu going to pray the obligatory prayer then his reward is equal to the person performing Hajj whilst in the state of Ihram.
Whoever goes out to pray the Dhuha prayer in the Masjid nothing tires him out except that then his reward is that of a person performing Umrah.
Praying a prayer after another prayer where no falsehood takes place between them then that is written in the Book of good deeds.❞
[Collected By Abu Dawood | Sh. Al-Albānī Graded: 'Hasan' In Saheeh Targheeb, (No. 320) | Translated By Abbas Abu Yahya Miraath Al-Anbiyya]
The Scholar of Hadeeth, Shaykh AbdulMuhsin Al-Abbad [حفظه الله] commented:
❝This means, that whoever performed Wudu and went out to the Masjid wanting to perform a prayer from the obligatory prayers, which Allaah has obligated upon him, which are the five prayers. For this, his reward is like the reward of a person in the state of Ihraam performing the Hajj who wears the clothing of Hajj.
This means, that Allaah [تعالى] rewards the similar to a person in the state of Ihraam Performing the Hajj.
One person went out to perform an obligatory prayer and the person in the state of Ihraam went out to perform a great worship, so the reward of that person is similar to the reward of this person. Allaah’s virtue is vast.❞

Hudayfah ibn Yamān رضي الله عنه:
"Truth is heavy, and with that weight, it is bitter. Falsehood is light, and with that lightness, it is endemic... Leaving a wrongdoing is easier than seeking repentance for it, and engaging in an errrant desire momentarily will inherit a long period of grief."

Giving Charity on Fridays
Ibn al-Qayyim (rahimahullah) said:
Giving charity on Friday has a special merit compared to other days,
just as giving charity during the month of Ramadan has a higher merit compared to the rest of the year.
I witnessed Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullah)
when he would go out for Jumuaah,
he would take whatever he found at home—be it bread or anything else—and give it as charity in secret on his way.
I heard him say:
“If Allah commanded us to give charity before consulting with the Messenger of Allah (sallAllahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) (58:12),
then giving charity before consulting with Allah is even more virtuous and deserving of merit”
[Ibn al-Qayyim (rahimahullah), Zaad al-Maad, 1/399]
Ibn ul-Qayyim (rahimahullah) said:
If the one giving charity knew that his charity landed in the Hand of Allah before the hand of the poor person (48:10),
the pleasure of the giver would be greater than the pleasure of the receiver.
[Ibn ul-Qayyim (rahimahullah), al-Madarij as-Salikeen, 1/26]

ʿAbdullāh Ibn ‘Abbās (radiAllahuanhuma) said:
"Love for Allāh, hate for Allāh -
Make your enmity because of Allāh, make your allegiance because of Allāh; For indeed, love and support of Allāh is not achieved except in this manner. And a man will never taste true faith (īmān) although he may pray, fast much – except when he is like this. Today, people’s brotherhood is based upon worldly considerations (dunyā), but this will not do anything for them on the Day of Resurrection.”

Narrated by Abu Huraira (Radiallahu'anhu):
The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said, "Religion is very easy and whoever overburdens himself in his religion will not be able to continue in that way. So you should not be extremists, but try to be near to perfection and receive the good tidings that you will be rewarded; and gain strength by worshipping in the mornings, the afternoons, and during the last hours of the nights."
