Tabar'roj is A Door to Widespread Evil

Anyone who carefully examines the Islamic Texts (Qur'an and Sunnah) and the lessons of history becomes convinced about the evils of Tabar'roj and its harm, both on religious and worldly matters especially when it is associated with the mixing of sexes. Some of its underlying consequences are:

- The competition amongst the displaying women in showing off their beauty. This is seduction, and it leads to the spoiling of morality and leaves women as merchandise articles exhibited for anyone to look at.

- The corruption of the morality of men, especially the youth and those in adolescence. It pushes them to commit various kinds of sins [1].

- The destruction of family ties and causing a lack of trust between family members and the spread of divorce.

- The commercial abuse of women in the world of advertisement, entertainment and other areas as well.

- Doing harm to women by declaring their ill intentions and evil conscience thus rendering her venerable to harm by the wicked and the insolent.

- The spread of diseases.

The Prophet (Peace be upon him) said:

"Sins didn't spread in any particular nation until they openly conduct it and as a result, plague and other illnesses that were not present among their predecessors became widespread amongst them."[2]

- Facilitates the sin of zina (fornication) by the eye.

The Prophet (Peace be upon him) said:

"The adultery of the eyes is the lustful look…"[3]

- Tabar'roj makes it difficult to lower the gaze.

- Justifiably brings down Allah's punishment

The punishment of Allah is more severe than atomic bombs and earthquakes.

Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He) says:

"And when We[4] decide to destroy a town (population), We (first) send a definite order (to obey Allah and be righteous) to those among them [or We (first) increase in number those of its Population] who are given the good things in this life. Then, they transgress therein, and thus the word (of torment) is justified against it (them). Then We destroy it with complete destruction." (Qur'an, Surah Al-Isra’, 17: 16)

The Prophet (Peace be upon him) said:

"When people see wrong (or evil) and they don't change it, then it is imminent that the punishment of Allah will fall upon them.”[5]
