HAZRAT ALI (A.S.) ON SELF-RESTRAINT

One of the great wisdom hidden behind the recommended Islamic Veil (hijab) is related to same matter. Since Islam requires an ideal social environment where self-refinement and abstinence from sins could be made possible. Otherwise, controlling imperious-self shall become impossible, because, the corrupt environment naturally pushes human beings towards corruption, even thinking about sin invites a man to commit that sin ultimately.

The Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali (a) said:


"When eye sees an erotic scene the heart becomes blind from seeing its ultimate consequences."

-Gharar al-Hukm, p-315.


And said:

"Simply thinking about sinful carnal deeds encourages you to commit them eventually."
-Gharar al-Hukm, p-518.
