Shadee Elmasry – Sins in Islam

			Nobody should imagine that, oh, I have to
		

			attain sinlessness
		

			or else I haven't practiced Islam properly. That's
		

			not practical. That's not right. The practical
		

			approach is that we are a people who
		

			fall into sins, but we repent right away.
		

			And what we don't do is we don't
		

			plan our sins.
		

			We don't plan to commit sins and say,
		

			I'm gonna repent later. That is a mockery
		

			of religion. You always intend never to commit
		

			sins.
		

			But
		

			when you fall into them, you repent right
		

			away with humility,
		

			and you never have this false approach that
		

			in order for me to be doing Islam
		

			properly, I must become a sinless person. We
		

			hope that Allah preserves us from ever falling
		

			into sin. That's possible.
		

			Well, that you have another responsibility, which is
		

			not to have arrogance. So I haven't fallen
		

			into sins, but now you may become arrogant.
		

			So every gift that Allah gives you is
		

			actually a test.
