the harms of masturbation

[imadahad]

assalaamu'alaykum,

below is a link to an interesting documentary about two individuals who find it extremely difficult to give up their (evil) masturbating habit (one of them has been doing it since the age of seven!) and as a result are seeing the consequences of this unlawful act so they decide to visit a specialist in hope of giving up masturbation.

both of them are gay and one of them uses a dildo as well as masturbates. the other one goes to a reverend seeking his advice about his problem but what's funny is that because the reverend says homosexuality is a sin (in Islam also) he cuts off his connection with him and decides to go to a native indian-american medicine dude who shows him some wierd ways of stopping masturbation. what will surprise you is these two guys masturbate 12-15 times a day...a'uthubillah!

if you watch this you will appreciate the beautiful advice of the prophet (peace be upon him) given to us more than 1400 years ago (e.g getting married or if that's not possible then fasting, keeping yourself busy because once you're unoccupied you're more prone to sinning etc.) which both don't seem to consider as an option; Islam without a doubt has the best solution to every problem, big and small, until the Day of Judgement.

i think this is a really important issue that seems to be brushed under the carpet and information like this is not really accessible to the youth. personally i have come across people that talk about masturbating as if there's nothing wrong with doing it and unfortunately are unaware of it's countless harms.

also there's a link to a site that contains an article of immense benefit on this matter (it's at the bottom under the sects heading) and inshaa'Allaah will be a first step for those involved in masturbation to give it up. of course if you don't fall under this category it's still of some benefit. please leave some comments and tell me what you think AFTER you have finished watching all five parts (10 minutes each). the beginning bit may be a little disturbing but besides that the rest seems to be ok.

Assalam-o-allaikum,

Really the topic you have highlighted really needs guts to bring in front of people as there is a huge collection of material available on the web which shows that masturbation is OK to to do as it is something natural and we can't control it.

And there is a huge number of people and unfortunately Muslims as well which defend their haram habit by saying that this is a natural thing. They ask you tell us how can we control that. It is difficult to make them realize that it is not good for your health because many so-called Kufar doctors have projected it as a natural instinct and there no harm for health.

But we should realize that if that had been something natural then marriage or controlling your nafs would have not been require and by they way the real fight is fight with your nafs.Either you win or you lose. It will be a total loss for those who masturbate not only in the form of health crisis and bad name here but punishment and embaracement in the hereafter as well.

Haraam Fantasizing
by Hazrat Maulana Yunus Patel Saheb (daamat barakaatuhum)

There is no shortage of complaints when it comes to giving up sins and the struggle which ensues between individuals and their nafs, as well as Shaytaan.

This battle is inevitably on-going – till our dying day. There is no other way out, except to show the courage and bravery that every Muslim does have – when it comes to Pleasing Allah Ta’ala.

Yet another widespread weakness is that of Haraam fantasizing. Young and old, married and unmarried – thousands upon thousands, succumb to their runaway imagination when it comes to fantasy world and this in turn leads to even graver sin.

Allah Ta’ala granted us the power of Imagination for a beautiful purpose; but most people today utilize this imagination in filthy thoughts. The following is actually drawn from my Malfoozaat. It is an extract from one of the kitaabs. It is a prescription which I have given to many who have complained of the same. Alhamdulillah, it has been a means of cure for many. May Allah Ta’ala make it a means of cure for all that have this ailment.

“Haraam fantasizing is the spiritual disease of almost every person. It is abuse of the great, wonderful and amazing gift of imagination.

Why did Allah Ta’ala give us this gift of imagination ?

The imagination has been given to us so that it may be used to ponder over the Qur`aan Sharif, which entails stories of past nations and verses upon verses of Jannat and Jahannum and accountability. This is imagination was to be used for the purpose of taking lesson and strengthening our Imaan. It was to be used as a catalyst towards ‘Aml’ (action).

The imagination was not given to us so that we may indulge our nafs in filthy thoughts.

One of the main reasons why both men and women have this problem plaguing them, is due to their indulgence in lustful gazing.

After having cast filthy gazes at ghair-mahareem , or watching porn movies or paging through porn magazines, or reading explicit romance novels, there is desire and craving for more. Since ‘more’ is generally not possible … since the person may be married, or the object of one’s desire is a film star or supermodel or a Miss Universe or Mr. Universe, and there is zero chance of meeting the person, the person tries to satisfy these shahawaat (desires) by fantasizing.

But fantasizing is not going to satisfy desire. It will only increase desire. The person’s sickness will increase. His physical health will inevitably also suffer.

When the desire to indulge in Haraam fantasizing comes into the heart, then take your imagination to the Day of Judgement; stand before Allah Ta’ala’s Seat of Judgement and begin accounting for all your actions in this world. Think of how you will account for and what you will say to Allah Ta’ala when all these filthy thoughts will be presented to you.

Allah Ta’ala states in the Qur`aan Sharif :

“WHEN THE SCROLLS ARE LAID OPEN.”
[SURAH TAKWEER 81 :10]

“THIS OUR RECORD SPEAKS ABOUT YOU WITH TRUTH : FOR WE WERE WONT TO PUT ON RECORD ALL THAT YOU DID.”
[SURAH JATHIYA 45 :29]

Even though Allah Ta’ala is All-Knowing and well aware of all our actions, He has established a law whereby every action and every detail of every action be recorded and thereafter presented to us on the Day of Reckoning – in favour of us or witness against us.

Otherwise take your imagination for Haj : Picture yourself at the Multazam, making Tawaaf, making Sa`ee; picture yourself at the Raudha Mubarak, conveying Salaam to Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam), or take your imagination to your Qabr and the events which unfold in the grave after death. …Insha-Allah, this will a means of defeating nafs and Shaytaan as well as obliterating a filthy habit.

If you find yourself still weak against the demands of nafs and whisperings of Shaytaan, then immediately occupy yourself in that which is ‘mubaah’ (permissible). Begin conversation with your parents, or with brothers and sisters, or phone a good, pious friend, or listen to some Qiraat or Deeni talk… Occupy yourself in that which is Halaal and mubaah; otherwise nafs will ravage your heart and destroy your peace of mind and lead you to even suicidal tendencies.

Added to this, consider filthy thoughts as pigs. Just as we show aversion and absolute disgust on seeing a pig, so should we be disgusted with dirty thoughts – which fall in the same category as pigs. Both are Haraam (forbidden).

Furthermore, Haraam fantasizing leads to the evil habit of self-gratification, because there is no Halaal avenue to satisfy one’s desires. This is a rather disastrous weakness amongst the youth and one should ponder over the various harms which are too many, and these harms are spiritual, physical and psychological harms.

Satisfying one’s desires by masturbating is not permissible even if a person does not have the means to marry. Allah Ta’ala mentions that those who do not find the means to marry should remain chaste.

“And those who do not find the means to marry, should remain chaste until Allah gives them resources by His Grace.”

Remaining chaste is thus a Divine command which is compulsory to comply with – therefore we will find the Ahadith presenting prescriptions to remain chaste (lowering the gaze, fasting, etc.).

As a prescription, the following harms should be read and re-read if need be, until it is understood that the harms long term are not worth the gratification that comes with the sin.

Some Spiritual Harms :

1. Taufeeq of doing good deeds is taken away. The person is deprived of Tahajjud, of Tilawat of the Qur`aan Sharief, of associating with the pious, etc.
2. The person is deprived of knowledge and finds an aversion to people
3. The most dangerous is that the person will not be able to remain steadfast on Deen. (Allah Ta’ala protect).
4. Besides this, a person who satisfies his evil desires in this manner is cursed according to Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam).

Some Physical harms :

The following physical harms have been recorded by highly qualified Hakims, the equivalent of specialist doctors.

1. The bladder becomes weak and this leads to problems in respect to taharah – Wudhu/ salaah and other Ibaadah. There are many that are suffering with involuntary urinary and seminal discharges due to the indulgence in this sin, and they write mentioning the difficulties that are thereafter encountered.
2. It also weakens the nerves.
3. It causes some limbs like the legs to shake and shiver.
4. It causes pain in the vertebra column, the spinal column from which semen is ejaculated. This pain creates crookedness and twisting in the back.
5. It creates weakness in the brain and weakness of memory.
6. It weakens the sight and reduces the normal limit of vision.
7. It causes a person to become old before time.
8. It decreases the natural resistence of the body.
9. It causes harm to the four principle organs in the body : the heart, brain, liver and stomach.
10. It weakens the fine nerves and veins of the sexual organs, resulting in impotency.
11. Excessive loss of semen is in reality excessive loss of blood. In later years, it can be that such a person will not have the ability to father any children.
12. It causes an excessive loss of sperm by way of nocturnal emission (wet dreams).

Some Psychological Harms :

It leads to

1. agitation and irritation over trivial matters,
2. lack of confidence,
3. disinterest in studying
4. and desire for isolation.

Much more can be stated in respect to the harms of this sin. So contemplating the above, should give every incentive to give up the sin. No one would like to contend with any one of the above problems and yet just one evil deed and the person has invited waves of calamities upon himself.

If evil desires still get the better, then Nikah is a simple solution. Where the evil desires are so difficult to suppress that the person engages in Haraam then Shariah says that it is Fardh for the person to marry. This is, of course, for those who the ability.

As always, I am highly skeptical of all the physical harms of masturbation. Masturbating is not much different than having sex with one's spouse in terms of physical processes.

The only scientific research I have seen is the effect of desensitization which occurs psychologically, but this is when porn is introduced. That isn't tp say it is a sin, but things such as losing eyesight etc need to be backed up. They seem like fairy tales to keep us away from these sins whereas the punishment in the hereafter should be enough. If there is research then fine but otherwise it just makes us look silly.

Bro there are many physical harms of masterbuation and no sex and masterbuation is not the same, please who ever told you this is extremely wrong. I would go into details but it gets quite dirty so not worth going into it. Sex is a total different thing, if you think hand and spouse is the same thing, process and pleasure then your highly wrong.

Whilst having sex its considered good for you, as you (both parties) release certain things which is good for you, where as your hand doesn't therefore the adverse affects. There are many harms of masterbuation and many are suffering from it, unfortunately its seem as a norm today and many people do not know what they are doing is wrong and how harmful it is to them. Just look up the no fap community on reddit and search google, not all of them can be wrong.

May ALLAH protect us from it -ameen

You have given me no science at all. I am not saying there aren't any harms. I agree to masturbation when coupled with porn has been proven to be harmful to ones psyche. But what I do not agree with are all the other claims which have no backing. You say it is harmful so I ask you to prove it to me.

Whilst having sex its considered good for you, as you (both parties) release certain things which is good for you, where as your hand doesn't therefore the adverse affects.

You release the same substances surely when masturbating or having sex. Both require you to ghusl so I didn't quite understand this.

Regarding reddit etc thats fine. I mentioned I agree there are mental harms when masturbating with porn. Even without porn I can accept there are mental problems. My problem is with the severe physical harms listed in some of the articles I have read which seemed to have been plucked out of thin air.
