Sacred Mosque Imam on Gaze and Purity
The preacher of the Grand Mosque emphasized the importance of lowering the gaze in purifying the heart and safeguarding the limbs from temptations. He affirmed that looking at prohibited (forbidden) things harms both the heart and religion, leading the heart to become attached to worldly desires. He explained that the greatest blessing Allah has bestowed upon humans is sight, and it should be appreciated by protecting it from forbidden sights and using it in beneficial ways. He stressed that lowering the gaze is among the greatest acts of worship that protect the heart and enhance its purity, while looking freely can lead to temptation, intellectual weakness, and weakened willpower. He called for mindfulness of Allah, striving against the soul, and reducing the number of looks toward suspicious or doubtful matters. He considered that lowering the gaze is not about deprivation but about protecting religion and dignity. It is connected to the light of the heart, increasing wisdom, and strengthening faith. He also pointed out that modern technological means require greater caution and carefulness.
