Many Muslim women are soaked in reading novels, especially romance.

Answer

Not only women. Men too are soaked in this haraam filth. They are riveted to the filth, relishing it for hours. They read these haraam books late into the night whilst the world is deep in slumber. While they indulge in this spiritually destructive exercise, shaitaan is their constant companion. Instead of falling asleep with Allah's Name on their tongues and be recorded to be in Thikr the rest of the night, they sleep with shaitaan and wake up with shaitaan. Allah Ta'ala says in the Qur'aan Majeed: "Whoever abstains from the Thikr of (Allah) Rahmaan, We appoint for him a shaitaan who becomes his constant companion."

Those who indulge in the filth of novels, struggle to make Tilaawat of the Qur'aan. Since their hearts are polluted with the filth they are reading, they do not derive pleasure from Tilaawat nor from Salaat. Even in Salaat their minds are polluted with thoughts of the filth they have read. The eyes, mind, heart and time are all bounties of Allah Ta'ala. These favours should not be repaid with the ingratitude of sin.
