Pearl of Wisdom
in his letter to Malik al-Ashtar when he appointed him governor of Egypt, said, 'Surely the virtuous are known by the reputation that Allah circulates for them through the tongues of His creatures. Therefore, the best collection with you should be the collection of good deeds. So control your passions and deprive your heart from doing what is not lawful for you, because depriving the heart means detaining it just half way between what it likes and dislikes.'
Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib [as] Nahj al-Baldgha, Letter 53

The word “sexual crime” (fahsha) and its derivatives are used 24 times in the Quran. The word “transgression” (baghy) and its derivatives are used 24 times also. Since these behaviors deserve wrath, the word “wrath” also is used 24 times in the Quran. The relationship between the words “sexual crime” (fahsha) and “transgression” is seen clearly in the verse below: 90- …and forbidden sexual crime, impropriety and transgression… 16. The Honey-Bees 90 An example for the wrath is below: 7- The path of those whom you blessed, not of those who have deserved the wrath, nor the strayers. 1.
