A study conducted by Harford University in the USA encourages American ladies to follow the example of Muslim ladies in regards to their modesty and morals, in an attempt to curve the decay of morality and the lethal diseases which are wide-spread in the USA and Western societies.

It was mentioned in the study which was conducted by Harford University, which is one of America's most prestigious universities and which was commissioned to do so (i.e. the study) by an institute specialized in vice-related diseases aiming at preparing a comparison which shows the extent to which venereal diseases spread amongst Muslim ladies and amongst Western ladies, that AIDS, in regards to Islamic societies, is no more than a stereotype which haunts Muslim families when one of their sons travels abroad as they usually returns free from illness if they adhere to the teachings of Islam, while inside Islamic societies everyone lives in total tranquillity due to the fact that such lethal diseases cannot spread therein, which is the result of the society being stable and distant from vice while each Muslim lady adheres to the teachings of her religion and to modesty, thus no sexual contact could happen out of the boundaries of wedlock.

The study also added, according to the Egyptian newspaper "‘Aqîdatî", that the ratio of the spread of AIDS in Islamic societies is no more than 1:2000 thus there is no threat of such diseases spreading therein due to the fact that Muslim ladies uphold modesty and religion. Such is true in regards to all other vice-related diseases, which, according to the results of research, haunts none but immodest societies.

The American study also revealed that research conducted in regard to the spread of venereal diseases throughout the Muslim communities in the West showed that Muslim families which live according to the teachings of the Religion (i.e. Islam) don't suffer from any illnesses and live in a state of stability which helps them to advance economically and socially, while the study also discovered that Muslim families which do not adhere to these teachings may suffer from various problems, similar to those problems from which the Western societies suffer.

The study said that the modest dress-code of Muslim ladies is one of the most important elements which establishes social stability such as that which Islamic societies experience, thus encouraging American ladies to strive to imitate Muslim ladies in regards to their morals and to the way they preserve their modesty and reverence, being the only method to save the American society from falling down the slope of no-return, caused by the decay of morals and by the spread of diseases generated from illegitimate relations between males and females.

It is worth mentioning that this is not the first report which has been prepared by Harford University and in which it recognises that the great religion of Islam introduced new values which are of benefit to humanity; it was only a while ago since its faculty of medicine prepared a report which confirms that a Muslim who performs his prayers on time is never infected by leprosy, stressing that lukewarm water is the only way to prevent the disease therefore leprosy finds no way to infect a Muslim who makes ablution five times a day.

Harford University is not the only institute which recognises the greatness of Islam and its rituals, for the National Institute for Health Care Research in the state of Maryland conducted a specialized study of Islam and its rituals, and concluded that the Muslim who strives to practice the rituals (of Islam) becomes a sound and healthy individual who lives a life of amazing psychological tranquillity and does not experience any psychological crises, unlike the Muslim who does not strive to practice the Islamic rituals and the non-Muslim.

One interesting point, as mentioned in " Aqîdatî " newspaper, is that some of the scholars of the state of Maryland rejected the results to start with and then surveyed 126 thousand people consisting of practicing Muslims, non-practicing Muslims and non-Muslims, with hopes that the result would not be in the favour of Islam, yet the surprise was that the study truly confirmed that the practicing Muslim lives a sound social life and in fact it also stated that the strength of the immune system of a practicing Muslim increases in the range of 10%-15% more than the rest of humans, and also that the Muslim who performs his religious duties is at less risk of suffering from heart attacks.
