Founder’s Corner: Protecting Gaze and Chastity

Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed in this post are those of the writer alone and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of SNMC.

By Dr. Emdad Khan

We are human beings honored by our creator Allah swt.

He has prescribed a special designed process for human procreation.

He provided love and respect between a man and woman and a family environment.

To protect the dignity of each human being, in the Quran, He swt ordered men to lower their gazes and protect chastity.

In Surah AlNoor Ay 30,

24:30

قُل لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَغُضُّوا۟ مِنْ أَبْصَـٰرِهِمْ وَيَحْفَظُوا۟ فُرُوجَهُمْ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ أَزْكَىٰ لَهُمْ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ خَبِيرٌۢ بِمَا يَصْنَعُونَ ٣٠

˹O Prophet!˺ Tell the believing men to lower their gaze and guard their chastity. That is purer for them. Surely Allah is All-Aware of what they do.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

We all know  Shaitan is our open enemy.

He uses our vision Hearing to deviate us from the straight path.

Here Allah swt orders us to lower our gaze and not to look at forbidden things.

As we are in movement for work, shopping and different events and gatherings, we can be careful about our gaze.

It is the first step to guard our eyes and of course we must protect ourselves by keeping our character integrity.

An Important Annoucnment about Parking on Friday, Dec. 8

Alsalamou Alikoum,

Our good neighbors at Kelly Funeral home have been kind enough to allow our community to park at their parking lot on Fridays during Jumma prayers.

They have two large visitations taking place this Friday in the afternoon that will require a large amount of parking. They are asking our community to refrain from using their parking lot this Friday as they require it for these services.

When you come for Jumaa this Friday, please don’t park at Kelly funeral home. SNMC will try to accommodate more cars in SNMC parking lot.

Jazak Allah khair,
SNMC Management
