Answer:

Laugh at Sex

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no person, no grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai, nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

Your Question: Is it a sin to sex with other because in this modern century people laught at the person who keeps away from this and say him that he is a child . 

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 17 Surah Israa verse 32:

Do not even go near ‘zina’ (fornication or adultery) for it is a very indecent thing and a very evil way!

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 23 Surah Muminoon verses 1-7:

1 The Believers must (eventually) win through

2 Those who humble themselves in their prayers;

3 Who avoid vain talk;

4 Who are active in deeds of charity;

5 Who abstain from sex

6 Except with those joined to them in the marriage bond or (the captives) whom their right hands possess for (in their case) they are free from blame

7 But those whose desires exceed those limits are transgressors

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 24 Surah Noor verse 2:

The woman and the man guilty of ‘zina’ (fornication), flog each one of them with a hundred stripes, and let not pity for them restrain you in regard to a matter prescribed by Allah; if indeed you believe in Allah and the Last Day! And let a section of the believers witness the punishment inflicted on them.

My dear and beloved sister in Islam, ‘zina’ (fornication and adultery) is listed amongst the gravest sins in the Sight of Allah Subhanah; so much so that the Lord Most High has commanded those who sincerely believe in Him and the Last Day to: ‘not even go near ‘zina’ (fornication or adultery) for it is a very indecent thing and a very evil way!’

Your Statement: because in this modern century people laught at the person who keeps away from this and say him that he is a child . 

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 24 Surah Nur verse 31:

30 Say (O Prophet (saws)) to the believing men that they should lower their gaze and (scrupulously) guard their modesty: that will make for greater purity for them: and Allah is well acquainted with all that they do

31 And (O Prophet (saws)), say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and (scrupulously) guard their modesty.

Dear and Beloved Sister, Allah Subhanah has commanded the believing men and the believing woman to lower their gaze and scrupulously guard their modesty. Allah is our witness sister, those modern-educated-freedom loving but ignorant, ungodly and impious people who laugh at those believers who scrupulously guard their modesty and abstain from illegal sex will indeed be sorry for their (mis)deeds when they are called upon to answer for their transgression in the Majestic Presence of their All-Mighty Lord Creator on an Inevitable and Tumultuous Day!

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 83 Surah Mutaffefeen verses 29-36:

29 Those in sin used to laugh at those who believed (in the life of the world)

30 And whenever they (the sinners) passed by them (the believers), they used to wink at each other (in mockery);

31 And when they (the sinners) returned to their own people they would return jesting;

32 And whenever they (the sinners) saw them (the believers) they would say "Behold! These are the people truly astray!"

33 But they (the sinners) had not been sent as keepers over them (the believers)!

34 But on the Day (of Judgment) the Believers will laugh at the Unbelievers!

35 On Thrones (of Dignity) They will command (a sight) (of all things).

36 Will not the unbelievers have been paid back for what they did?

My dear and beloved sister in Islam, if the transgressors and impious people who do not fear Allah nor His Day of Accounting laugh and mock and call names at those believers who strive to obey and live within the boundaries of their Lord Creator, rest assured my beloved sister, that Allah Subhanah will allow the believers to avenge their being laughed and mocked upon, and they will be guided to eternally and forever mock and laugh at the sinners on that Inevitable and Tumultuous Day of Judgment!

My dear and beloved Sister in Islam, it would be best to avoid the company of such impious people who laugh and mock at the believers. But if there comes a situation where you are confronted with them, care not what these impious people say to you for your obedience to the commands of your Lord; let them laugh, and mock, and make jest, and call you names if they wish….for not only will they get their due punishment for their transgression from their Lord on that Tumultuous Day of Judgment, but the Lord Most High will allow you to eternally laugh and mock at their state on that Inevitable Day in His Presence!

It may indeed seem strange for the ungodly and impious people that some amongst mankind fear their Lord and abstain from things that are forbidden to them by their Creator; but little do these sinners realize that the ‘glad tidings’ of the eternal life of Paradise has been promised to these ‘strangers’!

Sahih Muslim Hadith 270 Narrated by Abu Hurayrah

The Messenger of Allah (saws) said: ‘Islam initiated as something strange, and it would revert to its (old position) of being strange; so good tidings for the strangers!’

If one trusts, obeys, and follows the guidance and commands of Allah and His Messenger (saws), one can be assured of never ever being misled; but if one believes, obeys and follows any other guidance, other than that of Allah and His Messenger (saws), one can be assured of being led astray.

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,

Burhan
