Answer:

 

Masturbation and kissing

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no person, no grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai, nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad(saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

 

Your Question: i want to knw that whit is the repentence for masturbating and does masturbating cause any harm on body?

No matter what sins one might have done in the past, if one is sincerely ashamed and fears the accounting of an Inevitable Day in the presence of their Majestic Lord; and subsequently seeks sincere repentance from the Merciful Lord for their sins before one’s appointment of death; it is expected that they will find their Lord Merciful and Forgiving.

 

The door of repentance is open until one meets with the appointment of death! No matter what evil deeds one might have done in the past; if one seeks sincere repentance and forgiveness from the Merciful Lord and subsequently amends his/her conduct, Allah Subhanah has promised to completely wipe out those sins from their Book of Records.

 

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 39 Surah Zumur verses 53-54:(O Prophet) say: “O My servants who have wronged their own souls….Do not despair of Allah’s Mercy! Surely, Allah forgives all sins. He indeed is the All Forgiving, All Merciful. Return to your Lord and submit to Him before the scourge overtakes you; for then you may get no help from anywhere.”

 

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 3 Surah Ale Imraan verse 135-136:Allah likes such good people very much, who, if ever they commit a base deed or wrong their own soul by the commission of a sin, remember Allah instantly, and ask for forgiveness from Him for their shortcomings. For who, but Allah, can forgive sins? (And Allah loves those) who do not knowingly persist in the wrongs they did. These will be rewarded with forgiveness from Allah, and with Gardens beneath which canals flow, and they will reside therein forever! How excellent is the reward of those who do good deeds!

 

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 4 Surah Nisaa verses 17-18:Note it well that Allah’s acceptance of repentance is for those people only, who commit an evil in ignorance, and then repent of it soon after. Allah again turns kindly to such people, for Allah is All Knowing, All Wise. But there is no repentance for those people who persist in their evil deeds until the dying hour comes to anyone of them; then he says, “Now I repent!.” Nor is repentance for them who die as unbelievers. For such people, We have prepared a painful torment.

 

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 6 Surah Anaam verse 54:When those come to you who believe in Our Signs, say: "Peace be on you! Your Lord had inscribed for Himself (the rule of) Mercy. Verily if any of you did evil in ignorance, and thereafter repented and amended (his conduct), Lo! He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."

Whether or not the act of masturbation causes any physical harm to the body is for the scientists and the researchers of the world to find out; but the believers know for sure that when Allah and His Messenger (saws) disapprove of any act, it cannot be good in any way for the human being; whether spiritually or physically.

 

Your Question: and further more i would like to ask that is kissing also considered zina before marriage?
The act would only be called ‘zina’ when a man and a woman illegally commit the actual act of physical sexual intercourse.

 

Holding hands, kissing, talking illicit talk, meeting in privacy, etc. with a member of the opposite sex who is not a mehram will not be called ‘zina’, but are paths that lead to the evil and abomination of ‘zina’! And when Allah and His Messenger (saws) have declared something prohibited, all paths that lead to that ‘haraam’ act will also be deemed prohibited.

 

And if one truly tries to understand and comprehend the wisdom of the Command of Allah Subhanah regarding ‘zina’, he will realize that Allah enjoins the believers to ‘not even go near zina’!

 

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 17 Surah Israa verse 32:Do not even go near ‘zina’, for it is a very indecent thing and a very evil way!

 

Kissing, touching, meeting in privacy with a non-mehram member of the opposite sex is going near the evil abomination of ‘zina’, and that is something which the All-Knowing, All Wise Lord has specifically prohibited for the believers.

 

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

 

Your Brother in Islam,

 

 

Burhan
