Allah (s.w.t.) said: "Tell the believing men to cast down their looks and guard their private parts, that is purer for them, surely Allah is well acquainted with what they do."

Sura An-Nur, No. 24, verse 30

Imam Sadiq [a] said: "An unlawful look (at na-mahram) is an arrow from the arrows of Satan which is poisonous. He who abandons it for the sake of Allah, Almighty and Glorious, and not for something else, consequently, Allah will give him a Faith that he finds its pleasure (in his self)."

Man La Yahduruhul Faqih, vol. 4, p. 18

Imam Sadiq [a] said: "The fornication of the eyes is the intercourse of unlawful (lustful) looks, the fornication of the lips is a forbidden kiss (of na-mahram), and the fornication of the hands is touching (hands or other limbs of a na-mahram), whether the response of the genital affirm it or disaffirms it ."

Al-Kafi, vol. 5, p. 559

Imam Baqir [a] said: "The Holy Prophet [s] cursed the man who looks at the private part of a woman who is not lawful to him, and also the man proves treacherous to his religious brother's wife, and also the man that people need his help (because of his position) but he asks for a bribe from them."

AI-Kafi, vol. 5, p. 559

Women and Ornamentation

The Holy Prophet [s] said: "A man's word telling his wife: 'I love you' never will quit her heart."

Wasa'il-ush Shi'ah, vol. 14, p. 10

Imam Baqir [a] said: "It does not matter what a women ornaments herseff with for her husband."

AI-Kafi, vol. 5, p. 119

Imam Amir ul Mu'mineen Ali [a] said that the Prophet [s] prohibited the ornamentation of a woman for someone else other than her husband, and said:

"Thus, if she does so, it is the right of Allah, Almighty and Glorious, to burn her in Hell." (Unless she repents.)

Man La YahduruhuI Faqih, vol. 4, p. 6

Imam Sadiq [a] said: "Everyone who intensifies love for us (AhIul-Bayt) intensifies love for his wife, too."

Wasa'il-ush Shi'ah, vol. 14, p. 11

The Holy Prophet [s] said: "The best of your women is the one who is pious and obeys her husband in lust and ornamentation (but is impenetrable for others)."

Wasa'il-ush Shi'ah, vol 20, p.30

Fornication and Its Harmful Effects

The Holy Prophet [s] said: "It is written in the Turah: 'I am Allah, the killer of murderers and distractor of fornicators."

Al-Kafi, vol. 5, p. 554

Imam Sadiq [a] said: "There are six effects for a fornicator, three of which are in this world and the other three will be in the next world. Those that occur in this world are: taking the honour of the person and defaming the one; causing the one to become poor; and shortening the length of life, (i.e. hastening one's death). Then, those which will be in the Hereafter are: the wrath of Allah, graveness in Reckoning, and residing in Fire eternally."

Al-Kafi, vol. 5, p. 541

The Holy Prophet [s] said again from the Turah:

"O' people, do not commit fornication because your wives will do the same, too. That which you sow, you will reap." (The same as you do will be done to you).

Al-Kafi, vol.5, p.554

The Holy Prophet [s] said: "...He who embraces a woman who is unlawful (haram) to him, will be bound by a chain of fire alongwith Satan and both will be thrown into Hell."

Man La Yahduruhul Faqih, vol. 4, p. 14

Once, 'Ammar ibn Musa asked Imam Sadiq [a] about commiting sexual intercourse with beasts or masterbation by the hand or other limbs of one's ownself, and he [a] replied: "Any form of these kinds and the like of them by which man pours forth his water, is (considered as) fornication (and it is unlawful)."

AI-Kafi, vol. 5, p. 541

The Holy Prophet [s] said: "Cursed is he, cursed is he who copulates with beasts."

AI-Kafi, vol. 2, p. 270

The Holy Prophet [s] said: "Lesbianism between themselves is (the same as) fornication."

Kanz-ul-'Ummal, vol. 5, p. 316

Hygiene in Islam

The Holy Prophet [s] said: "There are three traits which Allah loves (in people): briefness in speech, short (length) of sleep, and small (portion) of food; while there are three traits which He dislikes (in them): loquaciousness, oversleeping, and overeating."

Al Ithna'Ashariyyah, p. 92

The Holy Prophet [s] said: "Try to be clean as much as you are able to. Verily, Allah has based the foundation of Islam on cleanliness; hence, never can a person enter Paradise but the clean ones."

Kanz-ul-'Ummal, Tradition 26002

Imam Amir ul Mu'mineen Ali [a] said: "Overindulgence of food causes various kinds of diseases."

Ghurar-ul-Hikam, p. 359

Imam Musa ibn Ja'far, the seventh Imam, [a] said:

"There are five sunnah about the head and five others related to the body. The first five concerning the head, are: washing the mouth, trimming the moustache, combing the hair, and drawing up water through the mouth and nostrils.

The second five, concerning the body, are: circumcision, shaving the pubic hair, depilating the armpits, clipping the nails, and cleansing the privy parts (with water, tissue, cloth, etc., while water is preferable)."

Khisal by Saduq, p. 125

Imam Amir ul Mu'mineen Ali [a] told Imam Hassan [a]: "Shall I teach you four traits by which you will be in no need of any medical treatment?"

"Yes," Imam Hassan answered. Then, Ali [a] said:

1. Do not sit for food (in order to eat) unless you are hungry;
2. And, do not leave the (table of) food but you still have an appetite for it;
3. Chew (your food in your mouth) well;
4. And, when you want to go to bed, (primarily) go to the water-closet to ease nature.

If you take these in action, you will be in no need of any medical treatment."
