Transgressors
فَمَنِ ٱبۡتَغَىٰ وَرَآءَ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡعَادُونَ ٣١
But whoso seeketh more than that, those are they who are transgressors.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
But whoever seeks beyond that, they are the transgressors.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, whoever seeks pleasure beyond lawful spouses, does not guard their chastity and opens to the forbidden, man or woman, is a transgressor.
Reflect
Firmly close the door to the forbidden today.
