O sisters! Lower your gaze too!

O sisters! Lower your gaze too!

Lowering gaze is not only for Muslim Men, but also for Muslim Women. Almighty Allaah {SWT} has said in glorious al-Quran:

"And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty…." [Surah: 24, Ayah: 31]

"Verily, the hearing, and the sight, and the heart, of each of those ones will be questioned (by Allah)." [Surah: 17, Ayah: 36]

Our beloved Prophet Muhammad {Sallallahu ALayhi Wa Sallam} has said:

"Sight is a poisonous arrowof the devil. Whosoever, whether male or female, protects himself orherself from evil glances, will be granted a sweet eeman (faith) whichwill please his/her heart." [Tabrani]

Looking at non-Mehram is also Zina of eyes:

Abu Hurairah {RA} said: The Prophet Muhammad {Sallallahu ALayhi Wa Sallam} said,

"Allah has written the very portion of Zina which a man will indulge in. There will be no escape from it. The Zina of the eye 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 hand 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]
