also known as Surah Bani Israel [The Children of
Israel]
Ayat 32. And come
not near to the unlawful sexual intercourse. Verily, it is a Fâhishah
[i.e. anything that transgresses its limits (a great sin)], and an evil way
(that leads one to Hell unless Allah forgives him).
Hazrat Ubada bin As-Samit
(May Allah be pleased with him) said: I, along with a group of people, gave the
pledge of allegiance to The Messenger of Allah 
[S.A.W.W](PBUH). He said, "I take your Pledge on the condition
that you (1) will not join partners in worship with Allah, (2) will not steal,
(3) will not commit illegal sexual intercourse, (4) will not kill your offspring
(for fear of poverty), (5) will not slander, (6) and will not disobey me when I
order you to do good. Whoever among you will abide by his pledge, his reward
will be with Allah, and whoever commits any of those sins and receives the
punishment in this world, that punishment will be an expiation for his sins and
purification; but if Allah screens him, then it will be up to Allah to punish
him if He will or excuse Him, if He
will."
[Al-Bukhari Book 05, Chapter 58, Hadith #
232].
Lesson : as
mentioned above in Surah Al-Isra Ayat 31. "And kill not your
children for fear of poverty" This Hadith here
the bring forth attention of muslim to their obligations, being fully conscious
of their accountability to Allah (SWT) they are apt to make full efforts to
provide justice and peace to other people. Shirk (polytheism) is an absolutely
unpardonable sin. All other sins, how many and how grave they may be, can be
forgiven by Allah. He will pardon them if He likes and send the sinful persons
straight to Jannah, or keep them for a while in Hell and then shift them to
Jannah. In any case, the punishment of Hell will not be eternal for them, as it
is for the Mushriks
(polytheist).
