General Guidance on Revering the Signs of Allah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the general guidance with which you are concluding this episode regarding the meaning conveyed by these verses?

Answer:
The general guidance is that the Muslim complies with what is stated in these verses to draw near to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) and to desire what is with Him. He avoids what is forbidden out of reverence for the signs of Allah. He avoids what is forbidden and avoids the causes that lead to it. Allah (Mighty and Majestic) says:
And do not approach unlawful sexual intercourseوَلَا تَقْرَبُوا الزِّنَىٰ
[Al-Isra 17:32]
meaning He did not merely say "do not commit zina," but He said "do not approach," meaning leave aside the means that lead to zina.
And do not approach immoralities - what is apparent of them and what is concealed. Andوَلَا تَقْرَبُوا الْفَوَاحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ وَلَا
[Al-An'am 6:151]
Do not approach them. So regarding what is forbidden, Allah says "do not approach it," and regarding what is obligatory, He says "do not transgress it." Do not transgress the signs of Allah. Yes.
