Imaam al-Shaafi’i Rahimahullaah said: ‘There is nobody except that he has someone who loves him and someone who hates him. So if that’s the case, let a person be with the people who are obedient to Allaah `Azza Wa Jall.’

Protecting one's gaze


Moulana Thanwi has said that when Allah expelled the devil, he swore that he would tempt man on his right and left, from in front of him and behind him. The devil counted out the four directions but forgot two sides, the side above and the side below. This means that these two directions are beyond the reach of the devil. Hence, if we turn our gaze to any of the four directions, the devil may tempt us but if we look above or we lower the gaze, the devil will not tempt us. Of these two possibilities, the first one is dangerous in that we will fall down if we walk while looking upwards, which leaves the possibility of keeping the gaze down.
This is an experience of mujahidah. The aim of course, is to avert looking at those who are non mahram and enjoying ourselves. But, the check is placed beforehand. Keep the eyes down! Do not look sideways. This is a mujahidah. After that, man will be accustomed to keeping his eyes away from non mahram, and if they happen to fall the wrong way, he will turn away instantly. When he is conditioned in that way there is no harm if he looks sideways too. He may look at whatever Allah has permitted him to look at. We have seen, therefore, that sometimes it is necessary to quit the lawful to be able to keep away from the unlawful. This is known as mujahidah.
