It spoils the desire of family formation and delivers some illegal children to the society. It causes some venereal and psychological diseases to come forth. And, briefly speaking, sexual freedom results to the greatest captivities for human beings.

Explanations The limitations and instructions which are ordained upon marriage are the secrets for the grace of Allah unto humankind- "And Allah desires that He should turn to you (mercifully)...." Those sensual ones who are indulged in libertinage do not satisfy by anything save sinking you in lusts. They want you to be their friend in their deviated path.

"...that you should deviate (with) a great deviation." Do not follow the way of voluptuous ones, and do not imitate them, for they are your enemies.

"...but those who follow their lusts desire that you should deviate (with) a great deviation." Surah An-Nisa', Verse 28 يُرِيدُ اللّهُ أَن يُخَفِّفَ عَنكُمْ وَخُلِقَ الإِنسَانُ ضَعِيفًا 28 *.* "Allah desires that He should make light your burden, and man has been created weak." In these latter three verses, a small part of the favours of Allah are mentioned, one after another.

They denote that Allah explains the ordinances for you, leads you to the way, returns His mercy to you, and takes the affairs easy for you. All these facilities are for that man is feeble against the storm of instincts and his ability and patience is little. Explanation Islam is an easy religion. It stops nowhere. "Allah desires that He should make light your burden...." The basis of this religion is founded on lightness, easiness, and capability.

"...and man has been created weak." Surah An-Nisa', Verse 29 يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ لاَ تَأْكُلُواْ أَمْوَالَكُمْ بَيْنَكُمْ بِالْبَاطِلِ إِلاَّ أَن تَكُونَ تِجَارَةً عَن تَرَاضٍ مِّنكُمْ وَلاَ تَقْتُلُواْ أَنفُسَكُمْ إِنَّ اللّهَ كَانَ بِكُمْ رَحِيمًا 29. "O' you who have Faith!

Do not devour each other's property among yourselves in vanity, except that it be a trade by your mutual consent, and do not kill your (own) selves (one another); verily Allah is Merciful to you." The secret of the occurrence of the prohibiting sense "do not kill" close to the meaning of "do not devour", a prohibition of false devouring, maybe, is for that an unsound economical system is a premise for the appearance of murder or destruction in the society.
