Remember Satan, the same dirty guy who mislead the first of the human beings, Adam and Eve, and enticed them to eat the forbidden fruit? And for violating their Lord's directive, their shame was opened to them and they hurriedly wrapped them in leaves. And for this disobedience, though they were forgiven when both of them pleaded to be forgiven, they descended to earth with one clear warning: Beware of Satanic machinations.
Indecency begins by exposing one's shame to others. From here one falls into trap of Satan's machinations and then he continues to commit many others sins that believers have been cautioned about. We must never let the evil forces prevail upon us and try our best to follow the path as Qur'an shows us. And if ever we commit a sin, we need not go to holy men, priests and others for forgiveness. Rather we should directly plead our forgiveness to Allah alone and no one else. The following supplication that was made by Adam after they fell into trap of Satan should be immediately recited, as given in Surah 7. Al-A'raf:23, and the sin repented and promise made with Allah for never repeating it:
قَالَا رَبَّنَا ظَلَمۡنَاۤ اَنۡفُسَنَا وَاِنۡ لَّمۡ تَغۡفِرۡ لَـنَا وَتَرۡحَمۡنَا لَـنَكُوۡنَنَّ مِنَ الۡخٰسِرِيۡنَ
(7:23) Both cried out: 'Our Lord! We have wronged ourselves. If You do not forgive us and do not have mercy on us, we shall surely be among the losers.
So let us fight out the evil and not be friends of evil, as directed by Allah in Qur'an:
Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah, and those who reject Faith Fight in the cause of Evil: So, fight ye against the friends of Satan: feeble indeed is the cunning of Satan. (سورة النساء, Surah 4. An-Nisaa, Verse #76)
We have already shared a number of verses from Qur'an on Indecency and Satanic Machinations. Herein under we have combined all these posts to serve as a ready reckoner:
- Beware Believers! of the handiwork of Satan (Surah 5. Al-Maida:90)
- Falsehood against Allah to justify one's sins (Surah 7 Al Aaraf (The Heights):28)
- Do not make mischief in the earth (Surah 7. Al-A'raf:56)
- The Day when Satan will declare his True Colours (Surah 14. Ibrahim {22)
- Do not Follow in Satan's Footsteps (Surah 24. An-Nur:21)
- Those who love that indecency spread among the believers deserve a painful chastisement (Surah 24. An-Nur:19)
- Painful chastisement for those who spread indecency among the believers (Surah 24. An-Nur:19)

May Allāh (سبحانه و تعالى) help us understand Qur'ān and follow the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, which is embodiment of commandments of Allah contained in the Qur'ān. May Allah help us to be like the ones He loves and let our lives be lived helping others and not making others' lives miserable or unlivable. May all our wrong doings, whether intentional or unintentional, be forgiven before the angel of death knocks on our door.
وَمَا عَلَيۡنَاۤ اِلَّا الۡبَلٰغُ الۡمُبِيۡنُ
(36:17) and our duty is no more than to clearly convey the Message.”
That is Our duty is only to convey to you the message that Allah has entrusted us with. Then it is for you to accept it or reject it. We have not been made responsible for making you accept it forcibly, and if you do not accept it, we shall not be seized in consequence of your disbelief, you will yourselves be answerable for your actions on Day of Resurrection.
Reading the Qur'ān should be a daily obligation of a Muslim - Reading it with translation will make it meaningful. But reading its Exegesis / Tafsir will make you understand it fully. It will also help the Muslims to have grasp over social issues and their answers discussed in the Qur'an and other matter related to inter faith so that they are able to discuss issues with non-Muslims with authority based on refences from Qur'an.
May Allah forgive me if my posts ever imply a piety far greater than I possess. I am most in need of guidance.
Note: When we mention God in our posts, we mean One True God, we call Allah in Islam, with no associates. Allah is the Sole Creator of all things, and that Allah is all-powerful and all-knowing. Allah has no offspring, no race, no gender, no body, and is unaffected by the characteristics of human life.
