Assalamu aleikum,
Hi JohnDoe,
It is always good to be concerned for one another, that brings humbleness and thankfulness to our hearts and souls. That is good start...
Please try to have in mind that Islam teaches us to be very AWARE of what is acceptable and what is not, and adultery is one the things that is NOT acceptable. And therefore Allah, SWT has given the responsibility to each and everyone of us to act accordingly. AND He is fair enough to tell us, 'IF you fail' then you will be punished. So when we have been given all this knowledge, we then can draw our own conclusions HOW to act, as He wishes or against His wishes. Our choice.
It is like you know that if you murder someone, and get convicted by court and the country you live in - as we know the human justice system vary a lot from country to country, far from equal - finds you guilty, you could face the death penalty. But then you also KNOW this could be the result if you chose to not follow the law. Again - a choice to make - to think before act or not.
Regards
