One way to stay away from adultery is to foster a fear of Allah's punishment. Remember that God is always watching us wherever we are. God will repay everything we do. Good will be reciprocated good is bad too bad will be reciprocated. This is His promise. So it is only fitting that we continue to be careful in our attitude. Do not let us fall into and fall into things that God does not like, one of them adultery. Grow in yourself a fear of God, so that when we want to do something bad we are reminded of His painful adversity. Thus we will undo our intention to do bad. Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala said,
الزانية والزاني فاجلدوا كل واحد منهما مائة جلدة ولا تأخذكم بهما رأفة في دين الله إن كنتم تؤمنون بالله واليوم الآخر وليشهد عذابهما طائفة من المؤمنين
The woman who commits adultery and the man who commits adultery, then every one of them bears one hundred times in sorrow, and do not be merciful to them to prevent you from (practicing) the religion of God, if you believe in God, and the hereafter, and let (execution) their punishment witnessed by a group of people who believe, "(QS an-Nur: 2).
2. Avoiding Cases That Can Deliver Themselves to Adultery
This is a way that can help us to avoid adultery, namely by avoiding all the things that can deliver and get closer to adultery, as follows.
a. Maintain a good view. God has commanded to always keep a view of things that are not good. Because adultery often starts from the view that is not maintained.
Allah says in His word,
Say (O Prophet), to men who believe, mereka Let them hold back some of their eyes and look after their genitals. That is more sacred to them. Verily Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala is All-Knowing what they do. And say to women who believe: Let them hold back part of their view and preserve their genitals, "(QS. an-Nur: 31).
b. Keeping the five senses from all things that God has forbidden.
In the hadith of a friend of Abu Hurairah radhiyallahu ‘anhu, that the Prophet sallallaahu‘ alayhi wasallam said,
كتب على ابن آدم نصيبه من الزنا مدرك ذلك لا محالة فالعينان زناهما النظر والأذنان زناهما الاستماع واللسان زناه الكلام واليد زناها البطش والرجل زناها الخطا والقلب يهوى ويتمنى ويصدق ذلك الفرج ويكذبه
It was determined that Adam's children and grandchildren would get part of adultery. The two eyes of adultery are looking (which is unclean). The two ears of the adultery are listening (which is unclean). Oral practice is speaking (which is unclean). The adultery's hand is holding (which is unclean). The feet of adultery are stepping (to the forbidden). While the heart is desirous and daydreaming, the genitals justify all of them or deny them, "(H.R. Muslim).
c. No seclusion (together) between the opposite sex in a quiet place.
The Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wasallam had warned in his hadith,
لاَ يَخْلُوَنَّ رَجُلٌ بِامْرَأَةٍ إِلاَّ كَانَ ثَالِثَهُمَا الشَّيْطَانُ
It is not a man who is alone with a woman except that all three are devils, "(H.R. at-Tirmidhi and Ahmad)
