Ammar Alshukry – 9 Effect of Sins

			of the effects of sin and the evils of sin. The first that he mentioned, he says is hormonal in is
that a person be prevented from knowledge that a person be prevented from knowledge? Because he says
knowledge is a light that Allah has the gem casts into a person's heart. Many times we think
knowledge is just memorizing a lot. If I read a lot of books and I memorize a lot of information,
then that's what knowledge is. But knowledge is really a light that Allah has again asons of the
heart of his believing slaves, that illuminates for them that which confuses other people. It is
something that gives them insight at a time when people have no sight. Imam Malik to this effect.
		

			When Imam Shafi came and approached the American Imam Shafi was much younger than Imam Malik Malik
passed away in 179. And Mama should have passed away in 204. But nonetheless, Imam Imam Malik
notices the uncanny intelligence and the brilliance of this young man. And so he says to him, in
Allah, Allah Allah only because Quran he says, I see that Allah azza wa jal has cast in your heart a
light, so do not dark in that light belittlement in Marcia do not darken it with the darkness of
sin. And so protecting the light that we have that insight that inner light that illuminates us, we
have to guard our sins, we have to guard our sins and hence also Imam Shafi codified and famous
		

			poetry. Imam Shafi was known as being someone who had photographic memory and he would memorize
pages even as he would look at them. And so the story goes that he had been walking in the street
and he happened to see a woman's ankle uncovered by the wind just happened to see and glance at an
ankle.
		

			And then he noticed that his memory had gotten weak.
		

			So now you understand why we can't memorize anything. We go outside and we forget to use the Quran
as soon as we step outside your mama shelter he sees an ankle and he has his but also it shows you
the sensitivity of the Imam that he recognizes just the slightest difference in his capacity. And so
your mama shall have any complaints to his teacher wiki and he says he codified this in verse he
says shall go to Isla Okay, so hopefully if I shed any light sarcoma honestly, he said, I complained
to a kid about how bad my memory was, and he guided me to the leaving of sins. And he told me that
this is more on oral law he laid out earlier honestly and the light of Allah azza wa jal has not
		

			given to a sinner. And so the first effect of sin is the loss of knowledge. That's number one.
Number two, he says an of it is that a person miss out on the risk, miss out of their provision.
		

			There's a beautiful Hadith in which the prophets of Allah Allah has sent them he says in the law,
* kudos. Nephi Roy, the Prophet sallallaahu Selim says that the Holy Spirit cast into my essence,
that no soul shall pass until it has completed its risk, and it's urgent. Not none of us will check
out of this earth until we've completed two things we've gotten all of the rest of that to do to us
at risk is a more expansive term than simply money. It's not just how much money you're going to
make. It's everything that Allah azza wa jal will provide you and your edge and your lifespan. You
are going to get what was written for you, you're not going to miss out on any of it. So then what
		

			are you required to do what is the Prophetic instruction, the prophets of Allah Allah has sent him
says for Tapachula, YG middle fifth bollock? He says then have Taqwa of Allah and seek all of that
out beautifully. And do not let the delay of your risk make you seek it out and what Allah azza wa
jal has prohibited for about in the Allahu Allah United because what is with Allah azza wa jal
cannot be acquired except through his obedience. And so the second effect of sin is that a person be
prevented from the risk. The third is, a person has a distance that they then feel a strangeness
that they feel with Allah azza wa jal, they no longer are comforted by being in the presence of
		

			Allah azza wa jal, they don't feel that sweetness in their prayer anymore. They're committing sins,
and every time they commit sins, they feel more distant, they feel that they are uncomfortable,
they're listening to the Quran, and they can listen to music for hours and hours and hours on end
and it is pleasure after pleasure. And then you turn on the Quran in the car and they're like, can
we just talk for a second?
		

			We just have a conversation. They can't find the ability it's like, it's like when a person is
dragging their nails on a chalkboard. Some people cannot listen to the Quran well what has distanced
you, from Allah as though just so much there's a beautiful question, that if you ever find yourself
distance from Allah, then ask yourself the question Which one have you moved? Because we only go
distance from Allah if you take a step towards Allah, He takes multiple towards you if you hasten to
Allah Allah races towards you. And so, a person of the effects of sin is that a person feels
distanced from Allah azza wa jal and the fourth is that a person feels distance not from Allah Azza
		

			If only but from the righteous. Sometimes I feel like the righteous are too righteous for my heart.
So I avoid them like I avoid the devils in the dark. But those that sit all day without even a spark
of luck or equally painful to an aching heart so who can I be friend in the end? It's a lonely
paradox. At times it's better to be alone hearing the ticking of the clock but the sheet that
travels alone is in danger of the fox. So we pray for safe passage knowing of the danger in which
you walk that a person feels distant from the people and also that they noticed that the people are
distant from them, of delighting him as he says Ella antenna Anika global minima International.
		

			Beware that the hearts of the believers curse you hate you while you are unaware that people said
well how could that be? He said the whole movie mahadi Me Love for you. Allahu Bucha meaning he says
you commit that which Allah azza wa jal has prohibited in seclusion. And so Allah azza wa jal casts
aversion towards you in the hearts of the believers, there are some people that you meet, and
everybody just loves them. You just love that person, you have no idea, right? Allah has just
written this baboon for that person in your heart.
		

			And that inshallah is an indication of that person's being loved by Allah azza wa jal and and loved
by God and and loved by the angels. And there are some people who just you just don't like them.
		

			And even though they talk beautifully, and even though they they do all of these things, all of
those checkmarks are there, you find that the people just aren't responding to you, then one of the
things not necessarily the case, but one of the things that a person has to do is make sure that
their relationship with Allah as diligent is strong, that your number one audience is always Allah,
your number one, the one who you make sure that you are always pleasing as Allah xuejun and also of
the effects of sins and this is number five is that things become difficult for you. Because Allah
azza wa jal says that whoever fears him, I love him and I'm gonna use Allah that Allah azza wa jal
		

			will make their affairs easy. And so if a person
		

			does not fear Allah azza wa jal, what is understood is that that person will not have their affairs
facilitated, that that person will not have everything made easy for them. And so of the effects of
sin is that you find doors closed, where they should have been opened, or you would have hoped that
they'd be opened. You know, the province of Elijah send them tells us the story of the man in the
hadith of Orion or the province of Almighty send them tells us of a man who had been traveling
		

			and he was Ash has everybody and we'll do your day. He had a summer y'all up y'all up. This man was
dusty and disheveled and broken. And he was extending his hands towards the sky and he was saying
y'all love y'all. Now this is a person who's died should have been accepted. They are a traveler,
and their their heart is broken. They are completely connected to Allah. They have no hope in
anything else. In that moment. They are dusty and they're disheveled and they're calling upon Allah
by His attributes of being the facilitator and the maintainer and the Lord. But the prophets of
Allah Allah says,
		

			food was haram. His drink was haram. His clothes were held up, nourished by how nice the job allah
how can this person's not be accepted?
		

			Isn't that all of the effects of sins? And so
		

			of the effects of sins is that affairs become difficult for you also, number six, is that an Massey
200 Calvin pattern that Massey sins weaken a person's ability their hearts and their bodies their
physical bodies, you know a beautiful story is I live in Avatar April the Allah on who with faulty
model the Allah on hmm. And I get all the ALLAH and he was telling Fatima that you know, they were
both faulting and had been grinding barley until her her hands had become calloused. And I didn't
know we thought it had been carrying water until his his back hurt him. And so he told them they're
having a conversation amongst themselves and it it'll be Allah and who says to fall to me says the
		

			Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam had been given some servants to go and ask the Prophet
sallallahu Sallam for a servant and we all know who fought the model the Allah Anna is total Zulu
Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah is Allah, she's daddy's little girl. And he goes to she goes to the
province of Elijah syndrome and the Prophet sallallaahu Salam would sit stand up and he would sit
her where he was seated some Elijah and send them and yet Fatima is asking the Prophet salallahu
Alaihe salam for a servant and he says to her, No, I'm not going to give you a servant that leave I
know so far. That's not going to happen. I'm not going to give you a resource even though you are my
		

			daughter that I cannot provide to every citizen of the Muslim state. And she goes back home. And I
little the Allah Allah who continues and he says that the they came, the province of Allah is
sending them and treated entrance, sought permission. And he stood in between them as they were
laying down and he felt the coldness of his feet. And then he said to them, Shall I not tell you
what is better for you than a servant that every night before you go to sleep that you say
subhanallah 33 times that Hamdulillah 33 times Allah but 34 times that is better for you than a
servant. Well, what's the relationship between this and that their requests?
		

			And the province cellulitis Adam's prescription there and the extent they extract it from that, that
the liquor of Allah azza wa jal strengthens the body. Then the Dhikr of Allah actually strengthens
the body and we have a brother in in New York this brothers called giants and he for started a group
called the bartenders, bartenders pull up bars, not the bars. But if you look them up on YouTube,
you'll find that these guys mashallah are monsters, they do things that I thought I was the only one
who could do Subhanallah but this brother is literally a giant Mashallah. And, you know, he's an
older brother, but he's just he looks like he was carved out of a mountain mashallah robotic Allah,
		

			and he was to be took him out to the playground, and he was showing all of the kids in the masjid
all of these different pull ups that he does. And he said to them, young brothers,
		

			you know, how I can do all of these things. And they're all amazed at what he can do. He said, Every
time I go up, I say, Allahu Akbar, I say, SubhanAllah. I said, Hamdulillah. That's how I'm able to
do all of these things. The remembrance of Allah strengthens the body, sins, weaken the body. And so
the ignorant am comments. And he says, you know, when the Muslim woman expanded all of this
expansion that they did, why did they expand like that? When you look at what they were able to do
to Persia and Rome, it was because not because of the strength of their ability or their resources,
it was the strength of their hearts, they had heart and their hearts were not weakened by their
		

			sins. And there's so much to be said about that. I'm gonna even Cataldo the lion who wrote letters
to his generals, and he said, that you are given support by Allah azza wa jal, because of the fact
that you don't sin, and you're the army that you are opposing since if you become equal in your
sins, then whoever has the better material is going to win.
		

			And so sins stop a person's strength, and they weaken the person's body and the weakened the
person's heart.
		

			Also of the harm of sense is that of the weaknesses of sins is that it shortens a person's lifespan.
It shortens the person's lifespan, well, how does it shorten a person's lifespan? Even though you
mentioned a number of different ways, he said, some of the scholars they said that assurance a
person's lifespan, meaning that it extracts the blessing from a person's life. And so you find that
a person lives 70 or 80 years and they haven't accomplished anything. They haven't done anything,
nothing that they does has anything, any Baraka that will make it extend or grow beyond it. None of
their projects grow into fruition nothing that they do outlast them, and you look at someone like
		

			him and Noah Imola, who lived decades shorter than many people, he died in his late 30s, or maybe
early 40s. Nonetheless, this man was able in that short time to fill the world with knowledge. And
noccalula was written for his work that and by the way, I'll give you a secret of Imam unknowing
something that I noticed. I don't know if it's public knowledge or anything, but I'll share with you
something that I noticed about him in no way because we're talking about sins, you'll find that at
the end of all of his books, the last chapter and the last Hadith will always be about his default.
Just beautiful. The last Hadith in the 40 hadith is the hadith of owners of nomadic. Yeah, by the
		

			way, he says, Yeah, even Adam in the karma that I will tell you what to do to refer to Allah, Allah
Makana, Minko. With everybody. You'll find that the last chapter in Riyadh the Saudi Arabian Is this
the father, you'll find that in his book, I love God and the last chapter is it is to fall as if he
is offering what he is offering to Allah azza wa jal, and he is seeking Allah's forgiveness for
whatever shortcomings are going to be in this effort that he provides. And so seeking forgiveness
and removing the ill effects of sins that takes the blood, the botica out of a person's life.
		

			But also it could actually shorten a person's life
		

			from the extent or to the extent that a person is considered to be alive in their moments with Allah
azza wa jal.
		

			That is the moment where you are a life and your moments of heedlessness are not truly life. You are
not really living and so the more a person is, he lists the shorter that person's life is and the
more they are remembering Allah azza wa jal, that is what is true life. Also, of the effects of sins
is that sins lead to one another. Sins lead to one another, as the noble Ha ha, they say that sins
have sisters. Okay, that doesn't work since follow one another. So since half sisters and you'll
find that one of the sins that is most commonly paired with every other sin, with every other sin is
the sin of what lying, lying Why is lying the sin that comes with everything because it's the cloak
		

			of every other sin? And so the Prophet sallallahu Sallam when he wants to rectify a person, he says
to them, he says, What Yeah, can will Kevin, be aware of lying, because lying leads to voodoo and
for God leads to the hellfire. So if you want to correct anybody's actions, then tell them to follow
truthfulness and truthfulness will lead to righteousness and righteousness will leads to Paradise,
and tell them to avoid lying and lying leads to transgression and transgression leads to all evil,
and it leads to the hellfire. And so God within the miracle of Allah on him, when he committed one
sin, which is he stayed away from the campaign of taboo, that's a sin. He stayed away from it. God
		

			made me mad because of the pressure that came with that sin entertained
		

			Another sin that I do not believe he ever entertained in his entire life. Not only did he never
entertain that sin, you and I would have never entertained that sin. We do not imagine that any one
of us if we were practicing Muslims, we lived our entire lives loving Rasulullah sallallahu. They
said, No, you cannot imagine yourself ever entertaining the notion of walking up to the Prophet
cellulitis syndrome and lying to his face. But God Almighty began to entertain that idea. When did
he begin to entertain the idea when he realized that he had missed the entire campaign, and the
Prophet sallallahu sallam was now turning back returning to Medina and he was going to have to stand
		

			in front of him and answer to why he did not go out. And he said, I began to think about what I was
going to say. And I was thinking about what excuse I could propose to the province of Allah de Sena.
And right before the province of Allah sent him arrived, all of those ideas vanished from my mind
because Allah azza wa jal gave him to the bath because Allah azza wa jal recognized or knew his
truthfulness from before he was not one of them were not filthy and he was someone who is sincere.
And so Allah azza wa jal gave him steadfastness in his moments of self doubt, or in his moments of
crisis. But the point here is that sins lead to one another do never, never think that you will just
		

			commit one sin and you will be okay after that. It doesn't work like that. And I guess I'll conclude
and Charlotte to add, and I'll conclude with the last one, and that is that since are a source of
insignificance in the sight of Allah azza wa jal,
		

			I would bet that when the Muslims conquered Cyprus, and it was a day of great victory.
		

			The Muslims saw with that, that crying, and so they asked them, they said, Why are you crying on a
day, when Allah azza wa jal has given victory to the Muslims? And I would doubt it that said, how
insignificant is the creation in the sight of Allah, if they disobey his command. He's looking at
this community, this country, this land, this these people, how powerful they were. And he did here
they were being conquered by the Muslims, because of their disobedience to Allah azza wa jal has an
imbecile he would weep and weep and weep and they would ask him and they would say, why are you
weeping? And he would say, I am weeping because I fear that Allah azza wa jal will cast me into the
		

			hellfire and he will not mind
		

			a person who commit sins when you commit sins, being fearful that these sins may lead you to be
someone who Allah azza wa jal cast into the hellfire and you do not mind or that Allah azza wa jal
will not mind and of the most beautiful things and I promise I close with this that I have heard
with regards to getting over and, and stopping since. And I'm just going to give you one takeaway.
		

			Because one of the mean unreal problems that we have is we just love this in when you're talking to
a kid in high school and you're telling them to stop dating girls or you're telling a girl to stop
dating boys and they just love it. That's the problem. You love going out to party or a person loves
the lifestyle that they live or. And so even though they may repent from other things, they won't
repent from that particular sin because they love it. And one of my teachers he said that once he
was going to Hajj and one of the people in his masala he said to him, chef make dua for me that
Allah azza wa jal rectifies all my sins and says that inshallah and then as he was leaving he said
		

			she had except for one. And he said, The chef said he was joking, but I felt that he was serious.
And he said, he was commenting to me about this, he said, Do you know something that you should say,
if you feel that you have a sin that you love, say Allah whom had been Elaine and Iman, was a unit
of Jacobina or carry Elaine and Khufu our ser make that your daily devotional that you say all of
the time. Oh, Allah make Eman Beloved to us, and beautify in our hearts and make hated for me. Goof
disbelief and forsook transgression and disobedience
