Ibn al-Qayyim (رحمه الله) stated:
“There are numerous benefits in lowering the gaze: one is saving the
heart from the pain of grief and sorrow. For indeed the one who looks to and
fro, his sorrow persists. Thus, the most harmful thing upon the heart is a
roving eye. For it shows one that which increases and intensifies his desire,
and he cannot abstain from it, unable to obtain it; and that is the utmost of
his pain and agony.”
Rawdah al-Muhibbīn (Dar Kutub al-‘Ilmiyyah, 1403
AH/1983 CE), 97
