Methods of preventing adultery in light of Quranic verses

Abstract

I thank the UAE University for its generous initiative in holding such important conferences, which raise the level of culture among others and show the way for those who are lost, especially as we live with a sworn enemy who seeks to encircle the nation. He has targeted, with his various forces and diverse methods, everything we cherish from our past, every thought we are proud of, every goal we strive for, and every scientific wealth that is the focus of our existence. He has managed to find those who exploit young girls in their innocence or recklessness, embellishing the abomination for that girl, thus capturing many families across generations. Death is less than many in the destruction that results from a crime of honor committed against an unsuspecting family, a safe home, or free and secure individuals. Homes that were once standing are destroyed, families that were once safe crumble, and girls are born, girls who are neither for death nor for life. Or that girl is killed, but the shame remains on the father, and despite the brother's disavowal, the disgrace remains, passed down through generations. Successive generations in this family or that tribe, all for the sake of fleeting moments in which a wicked person unleashes his lust on a once-concealed honor that is now violated, and a once-protected dignity that is now trampled, and a once-noble character that is now debased. Not to mention the harm this crime causes in terms of offending public decency, violating the sanctity of society, and transgressing against sacred boundaries. This has prompted me to address in this research some preventative measures against this crime, citing Quranic texts, asking God to expand my understanding and loosen the constraints of my pen, for He is the All-Hearing, the Responsive.
