Yasir Qadhi – Consequences of Committing Sins

			Salam Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuhu
		

			hamdu lillah wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah who are the Adi he will be here woman WADA Hammerberg as
we wind down this blessed month of Ramadan, and we do not know how many more Ramadan each and every
one of us has an in this month Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah I have no doubt that every one of us
sitting here has increased our rituals in our worship, and has diminished and decreased to the
quantity of our sins Alhamdulillah. So before we finish this month, it behooves us to remind
ourselves of some of the benefits of remaining in this state that we are currently in and of
conquering our sins and our desires that we have done during this month. We're about to wind down
		

			four days left, that's it. And then when this month is over, shaitan is going to come to us and
seduce us, entice us to return to our previous lifestyles. And that's where the real challenge will
begin. So, let us remind ourselves of some of many of the negative repercussions of the sins that we
commit. I did not cut him but I am allowed to either one of our greatest or ADAMA, he has written a
very deep and profound treaties, about the effects of sins and He has discussed many dozens of the
consequences of sins obviously, time is limited, but we can summarize some of those points. Ibaka
you mentioned that Subhanallah we can even begin with the story of Adam it his salaam, that what
		

			caused our father Adam to be expelled from the Garden of Jannah except one morsel of haram one
morsel one look, man that he did that Allah did not allow him and because of that Allah azza wa jal
did what Allah just sleep did one lock him up, and he believes what was his sin? One command he
disobeyed but he did it out of arrogance, whereas Adam did it out of desire, and the two are very
different. Iblees did it out of arrogance. And because of that, Iblees became the leader in the
cursed Rudy belimbing a shift on the regime he became one thrown out of Allah's mercy, one sin,
because it was arrogance, it was much worse than Adam and Iblees became who he became, what are the
		

			consequences of the sins that are done on previous generations, because of the sheer lack of the
people of North Allah sent the entire flood on an Earth to get rid of that ship? Because of the
tyranny of previous generations. Allah subhana wa Tada destroyed tribe after tribe, the people of
our the people of who the people of the mood all of these people were destroyed, and their
civilizations were far mightier than those of the Quraysh because of their arrogance, their tangible
their kibble because of them robbing the highways and doing all types of fitna and facades. And
Abdullah, you mentions that each individual Muslim should think about the consequences of sin in his
		

			or her life, so that this acts as an incentive. You know, when we study evil, we study it for the
sake of avoiding it. It is a part of our religion, to study such evil, what to shirk, what to school
for, what are the consequences of sins, we study them, just like our children are taught the dangers
of smoking, the dangers of drugs, the dangers of alcohol, they're taught by the government. Why?
Because when you're taught these dangers, it opens your eyes, it acts as an incentive. So we all
Muslims need to study the dangers of disobeying Allah so that it acts as an incentive for us so that
we don't go down this path of the ins of the dangers of disobeying Allah subhanho wa taala. And
		

			Abdelkarim says that this one danger this one repercussion is enough for us to be somebody who does
not commit sins, of the dangers of committing sins is that when we commit sins, we remove from our
hearts, the majesty that ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala deserves, we would not be committing sins. If Allah
azza wa jal and his Taqwa occupied in our hearts the level that it deserves one ma that Allah haka,
did he he they didn't put Allah the way that Allah deserves. Allah speaks of those who reject Him.
But anybody who commits a sin partially at least this is applies to all of us we seek Allah's refuge
if we had the Taqwa of Allah the way that Allah deserves. And if we were conscious of Allah, the way
		

			that Allah deserves, we would not be committing sins. So when we commit sins, we are demonstrating
to ourselves that our level of Taqwa and our level of iman has fallen short, we are diminishing the
majesty that Allah azza wa jal is worthy of in our hearts of the consequences of sins. Is that the
norm
		

			number one factor to erode our iman to diminish our iman is committing sins. In other words, you are
literally chipping away at the Eman that you have every sin that you do. It is as if you're taking
an axe and with your own hands, you're destroying your tree of iman. We all have the tree of your
man. That's why we're here. That's exactly why we're here. We value this tree. We love this tree.
The wise person protects his investment. And we have no investment more precious than Iman. We have
no treasure that is more sacred to us than Iman. What would we say of a person who all of his
money's in the bank? He goes and he takes it out and he starts throwing it away in the air with his
		

			own hands. How foolish is that person? But then when we commit sins, we are intentionally
diminishing our iman calla Bella Rana, Allah Karoubi him Mike no Yuxi born because of what they do.
Their hearts are rusting. Notice how Allah correlates the actions with the heart because of what
they do. Their hearts are rusting in a hadith in Sahih Muslim our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam said that every time we follow a desire every time we follow a shower or shuba, a disease
that we should not shaytaan comes and he pokes a dark spot in our hearts. And as we continue
following, the heart becomes darker and darker and darker. Until finally our profit system says some
		

			hearts are so dark and murky. They are like you know the pool that has mud in it. He compared it to
that you know the type of pool that you find in the desert that is so dirty, you don't want to drink
from it. That type he compared it to that the heart becomes murky because all it's done is this keep
on following desire after desire after desire. So when we follow our desires and let loose in this
regard, we are with our own hands, destroying our iman and that is not a sign of wisdom, as well of
the consequences of sins is that what sins do is that they cause us to divert from our purpose of
existence. Allah created us to worship Him to praise Him. Allah created us to worship Him and praise
		

			Him when I have to agenda on insert OLALIA. Abidjan when we commit sins, we are diverting from our
purpose of worship and we're neglecting Allah azza wa jal and what does Allah say Wallah to cool New
Caledonia Latina Nussle law here. Don't be like those who forgot about Allah. What does it mean to
forget about Allah it means to forget the rights of Allah what happens when we forget about Allah?
Why that's a cool new collodion Anna sola, what's the next phase for unser home and Fusa, whom Allah
caused them to forget themselves? This is one of the most psycho spiritually profound verses in the
Quran. When we neglect Allah we neglect ourselves. When we forget about Allah, we forget about
		

			ourselves. When we remove Allah from the picture, we remove ourselves. In other words, our purpose
of being here becomes meaningless. Now, of course, the idea primarily applies to the kafir who
rejects Allah, but realize what our sins except the stepping stones to Cofer, what our sins except
the latter that takes us down into the pit of gopher. That's what sins are. Sins are literally
stepping stones. Because Cofer is the biggest of all sins should it can go for are the largest sins.
So every sin that we do, it is partially coming under this verse. What are Takenaka Lydian and
Ursula and that's why Allah azza wa jal describes the one who commits to sin is a Jaya Hill. This is
		

			a observation from Allah that Allah says in the Matoba to Allah He little Edina Yama, Luna su a
Beija had, Allah will accept the repentance of the sinner who does a sin in the state of Jehovah and
then he repents to Allah had been Abbas said, every sinner memorize this, every sinner is a jaw
Hill, every sinner is an ignoramus. Because if you knew Allah, he wouldn't commit the sin. By new we
don't mean the knowledge of the mind. We didn't know knowledge of the heart. every sinner is a jaw
Hill, may Allah forgive us we are all jewel when we commit sins because we have neglected Allah
don't be like those who forgot about Allah when you forget about Allah, you forget about yourself.
		

			Well I took Allah dinners Allah for itself home and for some of the repercussions of sins as well is
that sins remove higher and modesty from our hearts and our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
said, if you have no higher was the end of the Hadith.
		

			You will do whatever you want. There is nothing that's going to stop you. Hi, yah is our conscience.
Hi yah is our conscience. If we destroy our hierarchy, we have no conscience. And when we commit
sins, we are intentionally destroying our higher our profit system set higher is the essence of
Eman, Al higher omen and Eman
		

			Our Prophet saw some said every, every religion has a hook and a characteristic and the
characteristic of Islam is higher, higher modesty being being conscious that there are like, like,
we wouldn't do something when people are watching, we should realize Allah is watching and the
famous hadith of biohazard bin hecky. And he said, O Messenger of Allah, can I take my garments off?
So the prophets have said, if you're with the people, no, you cannot do that. He said, O Messenger
of Allah, what if I am all alone? What if I'm all alone? And he said, Allah who are helpful and used
to hire men, don't walk around your house in the nakedness don't do that without any reason.
		

			Obviously bad showers or something else but don't make it a lifestyle. Why? Because Allah is
watching have hay out from Allah. Now technically it is halal. If you're alone. You're not gonna
it's not a sin. But we are inculcating higher in our hearts in front of Allah subhanho wa taala.
Notice this even for the MOBA, but dignity dignified decency How about the indecent How about the
undignified How about the Haram if we do it, where will our our higher go? So this is of the
consequences of sins that are higher will be destroyed and if our higher is destroyed, we will not
have any conscience left whether you are the biller of the consequences of sins is that when we
		

			commit sins, then Allah azza wa jal will take away blessings that He has given us and this is one of
the most terrifying consequences in this world, dear brothers and sisters, multiple verses in the
Quran of them. One of the most oft quoted verses in Hola Hola, EULA Euro mobile home in
		

			Hatha Yoga, you don't have you unfussy him, you know what this verse was revealed? For, you know,
what is the purpose of this verse, the primary interpretation, Allah will never take a blessing
away. Unless the people themselves have done something to deserve that blessing being taken away.
Allah will never take a blessing away, unless the people have done something because of which they
deserved that blessing to be taken away. So a change in our situation and status, a change in
anything that happens of good to negative, it is because of the consequences of our sins. What am I
becoming, we'll see. But anyway, we'll see. But that happens for the Mikasa. But a deacon is because
		

			of what your own hands have done. And yes through it, Allah will forgive if we turn to Allah, this
is Allah's mercy, He punishes us for the sins, but even in that punishment, it's a mini punishment
of this dunya that will protect us of the akhirah if we return back to Allah, but no punishment
comes down in this dunya except that it is a consequence of what we ourselves have done, and of the
consequences of sins. And this must be said, especially during this time, is that even communal
punishments come down because of communal sins, private punishment in our own lives, private sins,
but when sins become public, and especially the sins of injustice Loulan if a society is guilty of
		

			bloom, or it is guilty of lewdness, fascia, and it becomes public, and it becomes well known, and it
becomes acceptable to do such sins in the open, then our Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam said that
Allah's punishment is going to come on everybody. And even though it is politically incorrect to
say, but Allah who we are people of Iran and faith, and we will say it even if it is politically
incorrect, there is no question that this global crisis is a result of global sins. There is no
question because it's not possible. This is what our religion tells us is what the Quran tells us.
It's what the Sunnah tells us, you don't get pandemics and plagues unless the globe or large
		

			segments not every individual I've given multiple papers about this, but collectively, too much
wrong has been going on for too long to publicly and Allah azza wa jal does not allow that to go
unchecked. Allah does not allow injustice and callousness and to ignore hundreds and 1000s of
people, those refugees and the poor people and to combat commit fascia openly, these sins don't go
unchallenged, and eventually the punishment is communal, even if not every individual is guilty. As
I explained in more detail hood buzz Now time is limited. Let me get straight to the end of this
short, hotter. Indeed, as of Naka, yam says, every single calamity of this world and the next is a
		

			result of our sins. However, certain things as we finished this month, we need to remind ourselves
of look, brothers and sisters, we are not angels. I am not an angel. I am a sinner and you are a
sinner. Allah didn't create us to be sinless. That's not the goal. We're not going to be perfect,
but certain things must be avoided under all circumstances. Number one, publicizing your sins. Our
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Allah shall forgive all of my ummah, except those who
publicize their sins. A sin should be done even if you're going to do it. Don't boast, don't put it
on Facebook. Don't tell other people about it. How
		

			Somehow you're at least in front of Allah that you're not going to tell the other people do not
publicize your sins. Number two brothers and sisters, no matter what sin you have done, no matter
what sin you have done, never ever stopped making is still far our Allah azza wa jal says we're not
going to Allahumma Zeba whom will whom you steal food when Allah will not punish them as long as
they're making still far always turn to Allah subhana wa Tada no matter what sin you have done.
Number three, never ever be arrogant because the sins of lusts and desires may be forgiven. But the
sin of arrogance is never forgiven, never be too arrogant that Allah is not going to forgive me.
		

			There's no point becoming religious. That is the essence of arrogance. Arrogance is the sin of
beliefs, Allah will not forgive a bliss lust our father Adam lusted and he repented and Allah
forgave This is not a justification. But if a sin happens then ask Allah's forgiveness. And the
final point dear Muslims realize that the goal is not perfection. The goal is to continuously
struggle the goal is to always come back to Allah He is the toward the goal is to raise your hands
and say Robbie isn't up to them, but Fridley. No matter how many times you commit a sin always ask
Allah for forgiveness. And I'll conclude with a hadith which is an authentic hadith. And it's an
		

			amazing Hadith which is reported in the measurement as the word of the Hitomi and others with an
authentic it's not our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that there is no believer and he
mentioned min high level, except that he has a sin that he returns to every once in a while, men
coolly find it and within every once in a while, he'll go back to that sin, he's going to slip in,
everybody has some issue or problem that Allah is testing him with. And he'll try, he'll try but
then He'll slip back in, then he'll try again. Then he'll slip back in. And then the prophets have
said, and the believer is created to be tested and tried and the believer is created. Now see, he
		

			forgets all the time, either. Sukira Zacher, when he is reminded, he takes that remembrance and
benefits from it. This is a Hadith that tells us all Muslims, nobody's perfect. And every one of us
has a sin we're struggling with every once in a while, we might slip into some addiction, some
problem, but then what did the prophets have some say but the believer when he's reminded, he
remembers, he becomes awake and he tries to become better. This is an authentic hadith as long as
you're trying and as long as you're struggling and as long as you return to Allah, then don't lose
hope. We're not going to be perfect Dear brothers and sisters, the goal is not to be an angel. The
		

			goal is to strive for perfection, knowing we're never going to get there as Ramadan finishes, let us
make it a strong desire and intention to him. Let us make it a part of our resolve that insha Allah
hooter, Allah, I will master as many sins as I can to not do them. And if it so happens, I slip, I
will ask Allah's forgiveness and try my best to not go back for as long as possible. And if I slip
then I'll ask Allah again. And if I slip then I'll ask Allah again. And I will never stop doing that
until the day I die because Allah is not asking for perfection, but Allah is asking for repentance
and Toba. And that's what we're going to do. May Allah subhana wa Allah make us of the well being
