Adultery is against sound natural disposition, regardless of religion. This crime is looked upon in any society guided by morals and virtues. Islam regards adultery one of the major sins and sources of evil—punishable with death. Prohibiting such a crime is intended to safeguard society against moral decay and other ills.

What Islam Says About Adultery

A true believer, one who is truly submitted to Allah, has many characteristics by which he or she can be identified. The most obvious of these are honesty of character and truthfulness of speech. Prophet Muhammad was a perfect example of honesty. Even before his prophethood, he had earned the titles of the trustworthy and the truthful.
