When Almighty Allah created man as His deputy
on earth, He commanded the Angels to prostrate for this new creature, as
a clear indication of man's superiority in rank and purpose. But behold,
in order to maintain this position of superiority, man has to adhere to
the commandments of the Almighty, failure of which would certainly evoke
His wrath. We are all familiar with the stories of the likes of the people
of Hazrat Nuh (Prophet Noah) and Hazrat Lut (Prophet Lot)
(Alayhimus-Salaam, Peace be upon
them) which have been recorded in the Holy Quraan
for us to take heed but, alas, we do not.
They say history repeats itself, we are inclined
to agree with that because our situation is no different
from that of our predecessors. The Holy Prophet
Muhammad (Sallallahu-Alayhi-Wasallam) has
warned us when he said: "Whenever a sinful act
becomes so common among a people, that it is
practised in public, Allah sends to such a people
epidemics that were not experienced by their
predecessors.
Humanity is today at the lowest ebb of moral decay.
Such abominations as adultery, fornication,
homosexuality and bestiality are the highlights
of the so-called modern culture, under the pretext of
personal liberties. Consequently, we are now
faced with such problems as unwanted pregnancies,
infanticide, venereal diseases and AIDS, the
worst catastrophe man has ever faced throughout human
history. Sometimes it has spread due to unhygienic
conditions and accidental incidents, but in the main it
has spread by abominations such as Adultery,
Fornication, Non-Natural Relationships. This article
addresses the main stream cause for the spread
of AIDS. Defined as Acquired Immune Deficiency
Syndrome, and caused by the HIV virus, which
attacks the immune system. AIDS has swept around
the world at an alarming rate, leaving behind
a massive tidal wave of misery, disgrace and destruction,
threatening the very existence of man.
Despite substantial funding set aside for extensive
research, no cure or vaccine is envisaged in the
coming decade - Some say there might not be a
cure at all.
Solutions and contingent measures are being put
forward through the massive Anti-Aids campaign
which include the use of condoms and having a
life-long mutual partner.
But brothers and sisters, Islam is the Solution.
It has prohibited pre-marital and extra-marital sexual
relations, without denying man the need for sexual
fulfilment through lawful marriage that has been
made easy and affordable.
As a preventive measure against sexual evils,
Islam has prohibited the intermingling of sexes and
prescribed a loose and decent dress, after it
strictly instructed man to guard their modesty.
