The Evil Effects of Adultery in this World and the Hereafter
Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (a.s.) says:-
"Fornication has six types of effects. Three are for this world and three for the Hereafter. The three evils which become evident in this world are:-
1. The face of the adulterer
loses countenance.
2. He falls into depravity and destitution.
3. His death draws near.
And the three punishments for
Hereafter are:
1. He is liable for Divine anger.
2. His reckoning is severe.
3. He abides forever in Hell.
Fornicator in the Barzakh
The fifth Imam (a.s.) has also
said,
"Whoever commits Fornication with a Muslim, Jew, Christian or Magian
woman, whether she is a slave or a free woman; and dies without repenting of
his sin, then the Almighty Allah opens three hundred doors of punishment in his
grave. From each door many snakes, scorpions and pythons emerge from the fire
and burn and torment him till the Day of Qiyamat."
Fornicator on the Day of Judgement
Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.)
describes the fornicator in detail and says that when he would be raised from
his grave on the Day of Judgement he shall be in a horrible state. The Imam
says, "When a fornicator will rise from his grave the stink of his body
shall hurt the people. The people will know what deeds he had committed in the
world. Till the Almighty Allah would order him to be thrown into the
fire." Then Imam Baqir (a.s.) continues, "Know that Allah has
prohibited Himself the haraam things. He has also prescribed the rules and
regulations of life. No one is more modest than Allah. It is His modesty that
He has prohibited Fornication."
