Zina se Muhabbat Kam ho Jati Hai
زنا سے محبت کم ہو جاتی ہے
Zina se Muhabbat Kam ho Jati Hai asks why the Quran forbids zina in such severe terms and calls the road itself evil. His answer is that the act leaves a lasting attachment which repentance lessens but does not end, so that a marriage afterwards is never at rest, and the daily quarrelling follows from it.
