Briefly explain what zina is in Islam (major sin)
In Islam, zina refers to any unlawful sexual relationship outside of a valid marriage, such as adultery or fornication.
In Islam, zina is considered the gravest sin because it transgresses the limits set by Allah Tala.
It also causes significant harm to individuals, families, and society, leading to serious consequences in the Hereafter.
Numerous hadiths and certain verses of the Quran state that anyone who commits zina will never attain Paradise.
“And they who guard their private parts except from their wives or those their right hands possess— they will not be blamed. But whoever seeks beyond that, then those are the transgressors.”
Surah Al-Mu’minun (23:5-7)
Allah (SWT) has strictly instructed His followers to stay away from such practices.
Zina causes a person to lose their faith and gradually become inclined towards Satan, which leads them down the wrong path.
Consequently, their intellect becomes clouded with negative thoughts.
Positive energy gradually drains from within, and their thinking becomes negative.
Therefore, zina is considered a grave sin in Islam.
“No sin after shirk (associating partners with Allah) is greater in the sight of Allah than a drop of semen that a man places in a womb that is unlawful for him.”
(Al-Bayhaqi, Shu’ab al-Iman)
