Is it permissible to view pornographic images if it does not lead to fornication or masturbation, and does Allah take revenge on disobedient people by depriving them of success in their life matters?

Looking at pornographic pictures, films, and websites is forbidden, and there is a severe warning against it. This sin negatively affects worship, hardens the heart, and may lead to greater sins. Sins have bad effects in this world and the hereafter, including lack of success and deprivation of sustenance. One must hasten to repent and regret what has passed, increase in fasting for protection, cut off connection to the internet except for extreme necessity, avoid being alone with the device, and associate with righteous youth while staying away from bad companions.
