Zina, in Islam, is a capital offence punishable by death. The explicit punishment of zina has been declared in the Quran. Surviving it is part of fulfilling God’s mandate. Again, there are many benefits in the ways that have been mentioned in the Qur’an to avoid the sin of adultery. Save yourself from Zina and clean yourself after Zina.
The best way to clean yourself after Zina
Anyone can be engaged in Zina by the devil’s persuasion. However, a believer must apologize to Allah after being engaged in a sin, here we are discussing – how you can clean yourself after Zina in these four ways.
One: Do not despair of Allah’s mercy. Study this saying of Allah Ta’ala: “Say, O My servants who have wronged yourselves, do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Surely Allah forgives all sins. He is Forgiving, Most Merciful.” (Surah Jumar, verse 53)
Two: Repent sincerely to Allah. Block all ways of haram. Cut off all means of falling back into this sin. Also, do more good deeds because good deeds drive away evil deeds.
Three: If you sincerely repent to Allah, then you will be freed from the adjective “adulterer.” In that case, it will be permissible for you to marry a chaste woman.
Four: A believer should be ambitious in supplicating to Allah. “Reduce the punishment of hell for me.” Instead of making this dua, the believer will make dua.
O Allah, save me from the punishment of Hell. O Allah, enter me into Paradise and grant me Jannatul Firdaus’. Immediately, the believer will do good deeds and repent from evil deeds.

Advantages and benefits of getting married
There is no alternative to marry against adultery. Apart from this, getting married has many other advantages and benefits. They are-
Marriage is half of religion.
A sinless life is one of the characteristics of a believer. So, marriage is an essential act of worship in Islam. It has been called half of the deen. People commit crimes because of shame, word of mouth, and hunger. Having a virtuous woman as a wife reduces the chances of a person committing a crime.
Narrated by Anas Radiyallahu Anhu, Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said, ‘If a virtuous woman is taken as a wife, then may Allah help her fulfil a part of her religion. Then let him try to observe the rest.’ (Tabarani)
Gain peace of mind.
Through marriage, men and women get peace of mind. Almighty Allah says:
Another of His signs is that He has created your wives from among yourselves for you, that you may find peace with them. He has created love and compassion in you. Indeed, there are many signs in it for a thinking nation.’ (Surah Rum: Verse 21)
Scarcity is removed
Wealth increases in marriage. Scarcity is removed. For those who do not dare to get married due to lack of wealth, Allah Almighty has announced a life free of poverty and wealth by marrying them. It is mentioned in the Quran-
‘Those of you who are not married, give them in marriage, and your pious servants, and if they are in want, Allah will relieve them of His bounty. Allah is Bountiful, All-Knowing.’ (Surah Noor: Verse 32)
In explaining this verse, Abu Bakr Radiyallahu Anhu used to encourage young people by saying, ‘Get married and obey Allah’s orders. He will also fulfil your promises.
It is important to remember.
Marriage is not only a way to stay free from fornication and adultery, but through marriage, Allah Ta’ala bestows many benefits and blessings on the servant. According to the narration of the hadith, when one gets married, it becomes Allah’s responsibility to provide wealth to that person. It is also mentioned in several hadith narrations-
- Abdullah Bin Masud Radiyallahu Anhu said, “Seek abundance through marriage.” (Jamiut Tabeel)
- Abu Hurairah Radiyallahu Anhu narrates that Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said, ‘Helping three people falls on the responsibility of Allah Almighty or becomes a duty.
- The first: is Jihad in the way of Allah.
- Second: indentured servants working for ransom and
- The third is those who marry to live a holy life.’ (Tirmidhi)
Therefore, to build a society free from Zina, it is essential to ensure the marriage of all marriageable youths to avoid this related sin. Those who spend most of their lives pursuing worldly improvement are likelier to indulge in wickedness and adultery.
