Surah Al-Ma'arij (70:29)
وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَافِظُونَ
— Surah Al-Ma'arij, Ayah 29
English Translation
"And those who guard their private parts."
Explanation & Connection to Overcoming Harmful Habits
Allah repeats this quality in Surah Al-Ma'arij, emphasizing its importance. The surrounding verses describe believers who are consistent in prayer, who acknowledge the Day of Judgment, and who are trustworthy. Guarding chastity is woven into the fabric of a complete Muslim identity. The repetition in the Quran is never without purpose — it signals that this is a matter Allah wants to impress deeply upon the hearts of believers. If you are working to guard your chastity in an age of unprecedented access to haram content, you are striving for one of the highest qualities a believer can possess.
