” اور وہی ہے جس نے پانی سے ایک بشر پیدا کیا ، پھر اس سے نسب اور سسرال کے دو الگ سلسلے چلائے۔ تیرا رب بڑا ہی قدرت والا ہے۔ “
— Fe Zilal al-Qur'an
اور وہی ہے جس نے پانی سے ایک بشر پیدا کیا، پھر اس نے نسب اور سُسرال کے دو الگ سلسلے چلائے۔ [1] تیرا ربّ بڑا ہی قدرت والا ہے
وه ہے جس نے پانی سے انسان کو پیدا کیا، پھر اسے نسب واﻻ اور سسرالی رشتوں واﻻ کردیا[1] ۔ بلاشبہ آپ کا پروردگار (ہر چیز پر) قادر ہے.
اور وہی تو ہے جس نے پانی سے آدمی پیدا کیا۔ پھر اس کو صاحب نسب اور صاحب قرابت دامادی بنایا۔ اور تمہارا پروردگار (ہر طرح کی) قدرت رکھتا ہے
— Fatah Muhammad Jalandhari

[https://quran.com/al-furqan/54]
Allah has created bashr and malak.
Iblis is an example of malak, as well as a jinn.
Adam is an example of bashr, as well as an insaan.
Bashr are created from water.
Bani Adam are bashr.
Allah has created us with purpose.
This temporary life is to try each nafs (soul).
Each nafs (soul) will be recompensed in the hereafter.
Allah made for us, all that we need, and want.
Allah made for us families: families that we are born into, and families which we marry into.
Allah ordained the institution of marriage.
Allah blessed the institution of marriage:
Ar-Rum (30:21)
وَمِنْ ءَايَـٰتِهِۦٓ أَنْ خَلَقَ لَكُم مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ أَزْوَٰجًا لِّتَسْكُنُوٓا۟ إِلَيْهَا وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَكُم مَّوَدَّةً وَرَحْمَةً ۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَـٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ ٢١
And of His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find tranquility in them; and He placed between you affection and mercy. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought.
— Saheeh International
And of His signs is this: He created for you helpmeets from yourselves that ye might find rest in them, and He ordained between you love and mercy. Lo! herein indeed are portents for folk who reflect.
— M. Pickthall
Marriage is a ratified covenant between a man and a woman.
A ratified covenant is supposed to ensure rights and responsibilities.
A ratified covenant, if violated, can be legally challenged.
Marriage is an age-old institution that is solemnised across the world.
People of all faith, and people of no faith, all accept marriage as a valid way of life.
The Abrahamic faith is about the Muslim way of life.
The Abrahamic scriptures enjoin marriage, and punish illegal sexual relations.
The Abrahamic scriptures enjoin modesty and prohibit immorality.
Allah has provided cover to Bani Adam after the Fall of their Parents (Adam and his wife):
Al-A'raf (7:26)
يَـٰبَنِىٓ ءَادَمَ قَدْ أَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْكُمْ لِبَاسًا يُوَٰرِى سَوْءَٰتِكُمْ وَرِيشًا ۖ وَلِبَاسُ ٱلتَّقْوَىٰ ذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ مِنْ ءَايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَذَّكَّرُونَ ٢٦
O children of Adam, We have bestowed upon you clothing to conceal your private parts and as adornment. But the clothing of righteousness - that is best. That is from the signs of Allāh that perhaps they will remember.
— Saheeh International
اے آدم (علیہ السلام) کی اوﻻد ہم نے تمہارے لئے لباس پیدا کیا جو تمہاری شرم گاہوں کو بھی چھپاتا ہے اور موجب زینت بھی ہے[1] اور تقوے کا لباس[2]، یہ اس سے بڑھ کر ہے[3]۔ یہ اللہ تعالیٰ کی نشانیوں میں سے ہے تاکہ یہ لوگ یاد رکھیں۔
[https://quran.com/al-araf/26]
Clothing is central to our story and our dilemma.
Our natural clothing was deceptively removed by making our parents (Adam and his wife) eat from the forbidden tree. Their eyes closed, and their clothes were ripped off. They lost much more than that. Their souls darkened, and they lost their rank and life in the Garden. They were sent down for a temporary trial. We live here, and we die here. We are all taking the exam, the temporary trial.
Prophets, Messengers, Scriptures, were sent down, time and time again.
The Abrahamic faith knows that morality and modesty are essential to religion.
We are pre-warned about Satan and his tribe to not let them strip off our clothes.
Satan and his tribe are the resistance to the True God Allah and His Decrees.
The general pull away from the Muslim way of life weakens morals and introduces vulgarity.
Slowly and gradually, the move is in the direction of obscenity.
The Arabic word used in The Quran is فَاحِشَةً . The Quran stands firmly against all sorts of فَاحِشَةً , and clearly declares that Allah never commands فَاحِشَةً .
Al-A'raf (7:33-34)
7:33
قُلْ إِنَّمَا حَرَّمَ رَبِّىَ ٱلْفَوَٰحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ وَٱلْإِثْمَ وَٱلْبَغْىَ بِغَيْرِ ٱلْحَقِّ وَأَن تُشْرِكُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ مَا لَمْ يُنَزِّلْ بِهِۦ سُلْطَـٰنًا وَأَن تَقُولُوا۟ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ ٣٣
Say, "My Lord has only forbidden immoralities - what is apparent of them and what is concealed - and sin,[1] and oppression without right, and that you associate with Allāh that for which He has not sent down authority, and that you say about Allāh that which you do not know."
Say: the things that my Lord hath indeed forbidden are: shameful deeds, whether open or secret; sins and trespasses against truth or reason; assigning of partners to Allah, for which He hath given no authority; and saying things about Allah of which ye have no knowledge.
— A. Yusuf Ali
کہو، میرے رب نے تو بس فحش باتوں کو حرام ٹھہرایا ہے وہ کھلی ہوں یا چھپی ہوں ، اور گناہ کو اور ناحق کی زیادتی کو اور اس بات کو کہ تم اللہ کے ساتھ کسی کو شریک کرو جس کی اس نے کوئی دلیل نہیں اتاری اور یہ کہ تم اللہ کے ذمہ ایسی بات لگاؤ جس کا تم علم نہیں رکھتے
— Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
7:34
وَلِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلٌ ۖ فَإِذَا جَآءَ أَجَلُهُمْ لَا يَسْتَأْخِرُونَ سَاعَةً ۖ وَلَا يَسْتَقْدِمُونَ ٣٤
And for every nation is a [specified] term. So when their time has come, they will not remain behind an hour, nor will they precede [it].
— Saheeh International
To every people is a term appointed: when their term is reached, not an hour can they cause delay, nor (an hour) can they advance (it in anticipation).
— A. Yusuf Ali
اور ہر قوم کے ليے ایک مقررہ مدت ہے پھر جب ان کی مدت آجائے گی تو وہ نہ ایک ساعت پیچھے ہٹ سکیں گے اور نہ آگے بڑھ سکیں گے

[https://quran.com/al-araf/33-34]
In Surah an-Nisa, the People of the Book are being warned about the consequence of abandoning the Deen:
An-Nisa (4:47-55)
4:47
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ ءَامِنُوا۟ بِمَا نَزَّلْنَا مُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا مَعَكُم مِّن قَبْلِ أَن نَّطْمِسَ وُجُوهًا فَنَرُدَّهَا عَلَىٰٓ أَدْبَارِهَآ أَوْ نَلْعَنَهُمْ كَمَا لَعَنَّآ أَصْحَـٰبَ ٱلسَّبْتِ ۚ وَكَانَ أَمْرُ ٱللَّهِ مَفْعُولًا ٤٧
O you who have been given the Book, believe in what We have revealed confirming what is with you, before We rub off faces and turn them shaped like their backs, or lay a curse upon them, as We cursed the People of the Sabbath. Whatever Allah orders is destined to occur.
— T. Usmani
O you who were given the Scripture, believe in what We have sent down [to Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ)], confirming that which is with you, before We obliterate faces and turn them toward their backs or curse them as We cursed the sabbath-breakers.[1] And ever is the matter [i.e., decree] of Allāh accomplished.
اے وہ لوگو جن کو کتاب دی گئی اس پر ایمان لاؤ جو ہم نے اتارا ہے، تصدیق کرنے والی اس کتاب کی جو تمھارے پاس ہے، اس سے پہلے کہ ہم چہروں کو مٹادیں پھر ان کو الٹ دیں پیٹھ کی طرف یا ان پر لعنت کریں جیسے ہم نے لعنت کی سبت والوں پر اور اللہ کا حکم پورا ہوکر رہتاہے
— Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
4:48
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَغْفِرُ أَن يُشْرَكَ بِهِۦ وَيَغْفِرُ مَا دُونَ ذَٰلِكَ لِمَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَمَن يُشْرِكْ بِٱللَّهِ فَقَدِ ٱفْتَرَىٰٓ إِثْمًا عَظِيمًا ٤٨
Surely, Allah does not forgive that a partner is ascribed to Him, and He forgives anything short of that for whomsoever He wills. Whoever ascribes a partner to Allah commits a terrible sin.
— T. Usmani
Indeed, Allāh does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills. And he who associates others with Allāh has certainly fabricated a tremendous sin.
— Saheeh International
بے شک اللہ اس کو نہیں بخشے گا کہ اس کے ساتھ شرک کیا جائے لیکن اس کے علاوہ جو کچھ ہے، اس کو وہ جس کے ليے چاہے گا بخش دے گا اور جس نے اللہ کا شریک ٹھہرایا، اس نے بڑا طوفان باندھا
— Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
4:49
أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ يُزَكُّونَ أَنفُسَهُم ۚ بَلِ ٱللَّهُ يُزَكِّى مَن يَشَآءُ وَلَا يُظْلَمُونَ فَتِيلًا ٤٩
Have you not seen those who claim sanctity for themselves? In fact, Allah sanctifies whom He wills, and they shall not be wronged even to the measure of a thread of a date-stone.
— T. Usmani
Have you not seen those who claim themselves to be pure? Rather, Allāh purifies whom He wills, and injustice is not done to them, [even] as much as a thread [inside a date seed].
— Saheeh International
کیا تم نے دیکھا ان کو جو اپنے آپ کو پاکیزہ کہتے ہیں بلکہ اللہ ہی پاک کرتا ہے جس کو چاہتا ہے، اور ان پر ذرا بھی ظلم نہ ہوگا
— Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
4:50
ٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ يَفْتَرُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلْكَذِبَ ۖ وَكَفَىٰ بِهِۦٓ إِثْمًا مُّبِينًا ٥٠
See how they fabricate a lie against Allah, and it is enough to be an open sin.
— T. Usmani
Look how they invent about Allāh untruth, and sufficient is that as a manifest sin.
— Saheeh International
دیکھو، یہ اللہ پر کیسا جھوٹ باندھ رہے ہیں اور صریح گناہ ہونے کے ليے یہی کافی ہے
— Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
4:51
أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ نَصِيبًا مِّنَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱلْجِبْتِ وَٱلطَّـٰغُوتِ وَيَقُولُونَ لِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ أَهْدَىٰ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ سَبِيلًا ٥١
Have you not seen those who have been given a share from the Book? They believe in Jibt and Tāghūt and say concerning those who disbelieve, “They are better guided in their way than those who believe.”
— T. Usmani
Have you not seen those who were given a portion of the Scripture, who believe in jibt [superstition] and ṭāghūt [false objects of worship] and say about the disbelievers, "These are better guided than the believers as to the way"?
— Saheeh International
کیا تم نے ان لوگوں کو نہیں دیکھاجنھیں کتاب سے حصہ ملا تھا، وہ جبت اور طاغوت کومانتے ہیں اور منکروں کے متعلق کہتے ہیں کہ وہ مسلمانوں سے زیادہ صحیح راستہ پر ہیں
— Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
4:52
أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَعَنَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ ۖ وَمَن يَلْعَنِ ٱللَّهُ فَلَن تَجِدَ لَهُۥ نَصِيرًا ٥٢
Those are the ones whom Allah has cursed, and the one whom Allah has cursed, for him you shall find no helper.
— T. Usmani
Those are the ones whom Allāh has cursed; and he whom Allāh curses - never will you find for him a helper.
— Saheeh International
یہی لوگ ہیں جن پر اللہ نے لعنت کی ہے اور جس پر اللہ لعنت کرے ،تم اس کا کوئی مدد گار نہ پاؤ گے
— Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
4:53
أَمْ لَهُمْ نَصِيبٌ مِّنَ ٱلْمُلْكِ فَإِذًا لَّا يُؤْتُونَ ٱلنَّاسَ نَقِيرًا ٥٣
Is it that they have a share in the kingdom? If so, they would give nothing to the people, not even to the measure of a tiny pit on the back of a date-stone?
— T. Usmani
Or have they a share of dominion? Then [if that were so], they would not give the people [even as much as] the speck on a date seed.
— Saheeh International
کیا خدا کے اقتدار میں کچھ ان کا بھی دخل ہے، پھر تو یہ لوگوں کو ایک تِل برابر بھی نہ دیں
— Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
4:54
أَمْ يَحْسُدُونَ ٱلنَّاسَ عَلَىٰ مَآ ءَاتَىٰهُمُ ٱللَّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِۦ ۖ فَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَآ ءَالَ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ وَٱلْحِكْمَةَ وَءَاتَيْنَـٰهُم مُّلْكًا عَظِيمًا ٥٤
Or, is it that they are jealous of people over what Allah has given them of His bounty, while We have given to the House of Ibrāhīm the Book and the wisdom, and We have given to them a great kingdom?
— T. Usmani
Or do they envy people for what Allāh has given them of His bounty? But We had already given the family of Abraham the Scripture and wisdom[1] and conferred upon them a great kingdom.
کیا یہ لوگوں پر حسد کر رہے ہیں اس بنا پر جو اللہ نے ان کواپنے فضل سے دیا ہے پس ہم نے آل ابراہیم کو کتاب اور حکمت دی ہے اور ہم نے ان کو ایک بڑی سلطنت بھی دے دی
— Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
4:55
فَمِنْهُم مَّنْ ءَامَنَ بِهِۦ وَمِنْهُم مَّن صَدَّ عَنْهُ ۚ وَكَفَىٰ بِجَهَنَّمَ سَعِيرًا ٥٥
So, there were some among them who believed in it, and there were others among them who turned away from it. Enough (for the latter) is Jahannam, a fire ablaze!
— T. Usmani
And some among them believed in it,[1] and some among them were averse to it. And sufficient is Hell as a blaze.
ان میں سے کسی نے اس کو مانا اور کوئی اس سے رکا رہا اور ایسوں کے ليے جہنم کی بھڑکتی ہوئی آگ کافی ہے

As the darkness of the secular way of life is spreading all over the world, as the liberals are liberating themselves from the need to keep Divine Laws, as the modern way of life is destroying families, it is important to revisit the scriptures, believe in them, and hold on to the guidance. Eventually, after the darkest hour, there will be The Dawn.
May we be of those who are pleased with the Muslim way of life, so that our Lord is well-pleased with us.
Our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and those who fought along side him, strove for Allah and His Deen, the Muslim Way of Life:
At-Tawbah (9:100)
وَٱلسَّـٰبِقُونَ ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُهَـٰجِرِينَ وَٱلْأَنصَارِ وَٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّبَعُوهُم بِإِحْسَـٰنٍ رَّضِىَ ٱللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُوا۟ عَنْهُ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُمْ جَنَّـٰتٍ تَجْرِى تَحْتَهَا ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآ أَبَدًا ۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ ١٠٠
As for the first and foremost of the Emigrants (Muhājirīn) and the Supporters (AnSār) and those who followed them in goodness, Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with Allah, and He has prepared for them gardens beneath which rivers flow, where they will live for ever. That is the supreme achievement.
— T. Usmani
And the first forerunners [in the faith] among the Muhājireen[1] and the Anṣār[2] and those who followed them with good conduct - Allāh is pleased with them and they are pleased with Him, and He has prepared for them gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide forever. That is the great attainment.
اور مہاجرین و انصار میں جو لوگ سابق اور مقدم ہیں اور جنھوں نے خوبی کے ساتھ ان کی پیروی کی، اللہ ان سے راضی ہوا اور وہ اس سے راضی ہوئے اور اللہ نے ان کے ليے ایسے باغ تیار کر رکھے ہیں جن کے نیچے نہریں بہتی ہوں گی وہ ان میں ہمیشہ رہیں گے یہی ہے بڑی کامیابی
— Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
[https://quran.com/at-tawbah/100]
The Quran contains guidance and commands.
The Quran alternates family topics and struggles in the cause of Allah's Deen.
The Quran directly links faith with acts of reform.
The Quran repeatedly reminds of the Hereafter.
The Quran presents concepts of continuous reward and ceaseless punishment.
The successful are promised reform, and unification with their reformed families, for ever after:
