*Lowering our gazes from Haraam draws multiple rewards*
*✦Ŕāsűlűllâh ﷺ✦* guaranteed Jannah on six deeds, over and above the fulfilment of the Faraa’idh *(obligatory duties) *
One of them is lowering the gaze.
*✦Ŕāsűlűllâh ﷺ✦* said: “Guarantee me six things, I will guarantee Jannah for you:
عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ رضي الله عنه، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ
اضْمَنُوا لِي سِتًّا مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ أَضْمَنْ لَكُمُ الْجَنَّةَ: اصْدُقُوا إِذَا حَدَّثْتُمْ، وَأَوْفُوا إِذَا وَعَدْتُمْ، وَأَدُّوا إِذَا اؤْتُمِنْتُمْ، وَاحْفَظُوا فُرُوجَكُمْ، وَغُضُّوا أَبْصَارَكُمْ، وَكُفُّوا أَيْدِيَكُمْ
*1.) * Always speak the truth,
*2.) * Fulfil your promises,
*3.) * Honour/fulfil what you are entrusted with,
*4.) * Protect your private parts,
*5.) * Lower your gaze and
*6.) * Hold back your hands *(from stealing and harming others).” *
*📚 Ṣaḥīḥ Ibn Ḥibbān, 271; Al-Mustadrak of al-Ḥākim, 4/399 *
It is mentioned in a Hadīth that a person who lowers his gaze will be protected from Jahannum.
*✦Ŕāsűlűllâh ﷺ✦* said: *
عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ حَيْدَةَ الْقُشَيْرِيِّ رضي الله عنه، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ
«ثَلَاثَةٌ لَا تَرَى أَعْيُنُهُمُ النَّارَ: عَيْنٌ حَرَسَتْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، وَعَيْنٌ بَكَتْ مِنْ خَشْيَةِ اللَّهِ، وَعَيْنٌ كَفَّتْ عَنْ مَحَارِمِ اللَّهِ»
*Types of eyes (people) will not see Jahannam: *
*1.) * The eye that guarded in the path of Allah,
*2.) * The eye that cried out of the fear of Allah, and
*3.) * The eye that abstained from looking at those things which Allah has made impermissible to look at.”
*(Al Mu’jamul Kabir / Majma’uz Zawaid) *

A little exercise the eye – by lowering the gaze or averting the gaze from Haraam – and one enjoys the benefits and rewards of both worlds!
