And they strike not their feet so that what they hide of their ornaments may become known. And turn ye to Allah all together, O believers, that you may succeed. ” A4. 7 Hazrat Khalifatul-Masih V (aba) has warned us that adultery is not only related to private parts but the word Furuj in the Holy Qur ’ an points to all our senses, including hearing and sight. In this regard, watching pornography is also adultery or watching any indecent acts on television movies in any other situation is adultery. Also, listening to dirty language in the form of music or songs is adultery and we should all avoid all of these. These are very important aspects that we need to openly discuss with our children. If we shy away from these topics it does not mean that our children will not learn about them. Our children are exposed to all these issues in this society, a society that has very different and open sexual orientations. It is important that we protect them, otherwise they will learn indecency from outside sources.
