Being Open-minded
An e-mail I received,
What happens when a man shakes hands with a woman? The science of Anatomy says that there are more than five million cells which cover the surface of human body. Their function is to transfer senses & feeling to the brain. When a man shakes hands with a woman their feelings get activated. Even the sense of smelling has a role in activating the feeling of sexual desire. The sense of hearing also are connected with the centers of human desires. If a woman hears words which reflect desire from man then what she has heard may move her desires.
In this regard Quran says “Say to the believing men that they should lower their gaze and guard their Modesty: that will make for greater Purity for them: And Allah is well acquainted with all that they do. And says to the believing woman that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty, that they should not display their beauty and ornaments…” [24:30-31]
The above verses show that both men and women were addressed in equal terms to guard their various senses so that to reduce the probabilities of evils in the society. In other words, modern Anatomy is now discovering the roles of sense in instigating human desires whereas Quran is protecting the believers from such evils since fourteen centuries.

"Know that the life of this world is only play and amusement, pomp and mutual boasting among u, and rivalry in respect of wealth and children. (It is) as the likeness of vegetation after rain, thereof the growth is pleasing to the tiller; afterwards it dries up and u see it turning yellow; then it becomes straw. BUT in the Hereafter (there is) a severe torment (for the disbelievers---evil-doers), and (there is) Forgiveness from Allah and (His) Godd Pleasure (for the believers---good-doers). And the life of this world is only a deceiving enjoyment. [Quran, 57:20]
kisah di zaman Nabi Ibrahim, semasa Nabi Ibrahim dibakar oleh kaumnya, seekor burung kecil terbang berulang alik mengisi air dalam paruhnya lalu menyiram ke atas api yang membakar. Itulah yang dilakukannya berulangkali. Tingkah lakunya diperhatikan oleh makhluk Allah yang lain lalu bertanya kepada burung kecil itu, 'buat apa kau penat-penat mengambil air berulang alik, sedangkan api yang membakar Nabi Ibrahim takkan terpadam dengan air yang kau siramkan itu.' Lalu dijawab oleh burung tersebut, 'Memang ia tidak akan memadamkan api tersebut, tetapi aku lebih takut kepada Allah kerana Allah akan menyoal aku nanti, apakah yang aku lakukan untuk agama Allah, dan Allah tidak akan bertanya samada aku berjaya memadamkan api itu ataupun tidak'
