The Sin
Individual:
If
you disbelieve - indeed, Allah is Free from need of you. And He does not
approve for His servants disbelief. And if you are grateful, He approves it for
you; and no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another. Then to your
Lord is your return, and He will inform you about what you used to do. Indeed,
He is Knowing of that within the breasts. (39:7)
By
intention:
-
And
there is no blame upon you for that in which you have erred but [only for] what
your hearts intended. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful. (33:5)
-
Bukhari:
Book 1: Volume 1: Hadith 1 Narrated ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab: “Actions are but by intentions and
every man shall have but that which he intended.”
-
Muslims
will not be held responsible for the deeds that they did by mistake, forgetting
and by force (Ibn Majah, Talaq, 16).
Not
the same:
There are major sin and small sin.
To
Commit a Sin
-
The trust: Indeed, we offered the Trust to the heavens and the earth
and the mountains, and they declined to bear it and feared it; but man bears
it. Indeed, he was unjust and ignorant (33:72)
-
Freedom of choice: There
shall be no compulsion in the religion. The right course has become clear from
the wrong. So whoever disbelieves in evil and believes in God has grasped the
most trustworthy handhold with no break in it. And Allah is Hearing and Knowing
(2:256)
-
Trial: Your wealth and your children are but a trial, and the God
has with Him a great reward (64:15)
-
The desire is normal: Beautified for people is the love of that which they
desire - of women and sons, heaped-up sums of gold and silver, fine branded
horses, and cattle and tilled land. That is the enjoyment of worldly life, but
Allah has with Him the best return. Say, "Shall I inform you of [something]
better than that? For those who fear Allah will be gardens in the presence of
their Lord beneath which rivers flow, wherein they abide eternally, and
purified spouses and approval from the God. And the God is Seeing of [His]
servants (3:14-15)
-
But it is not a god: Have you seen the one who takes as his god his own
desire? Then would you be responsible for him?
-
The goal is to test: Blessed is He in whose hand is dominion, and He is
over all things competent - who created death and life to test you [as to]
which of you is best in deed - and He is the Exalted in Might, the Forgiving
(67:1-2)
-
Be patient to pass: And We will surely test you with something of fear
and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits, but give good tidings to
the patient. Who, when disaster strikes them, say, "Indeed we belong to
God, and indeed to Him we will return." (2:155-156)
To Make Amends for a Sin
|
If
you are
|
|
|
The
offender
|
Not
the offender
|
|
1- Do
not give up: “Say, "O My servants who
have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the
mercy of God. Indeed, God forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the
Forgiving, the Merciful." (39:53)
2- Change
yourself: “For each one are successive
[angels] before and behind him who protect him by the decree of God. Indeed,
God will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in
themselves. And when God intends for a people ill, there is no repelling it.
And there is not for them besides Him any patron.” (13:11)
3- Repentance:
“And hasten to forgiveness from your Lord and a garden as wide as the heavens
and earth, prepared for the righteous. Who spend [in the cause of God ]
during ease and hardship and who restrain anger and who pardon the people -
and God loves the doers of good; And those who, when they commit an
immorality or wrong themselves [by transgression], remember God and seek
forgiveness for their sins - and who can forgive sins except God? - and [who]
do not persist in what they have done while they know.” (3:133-135)
4- Do
not show off: Narrated Abu Huraira: "I heard God's Apostle saying.
"All the sins of my followers will be forgiven except those who commit a
sin openly or disclose their sins to the people. An example of such
disclosure is that a person commits a sin at night and though Allah screens
it from the public, then he comes in the morning, and says, 'O so-and-so, I
did such-and-such (evil) deed yesterday,' though he spent his night screened
by his Lord (none knowing about his sin) and in the morning he removes
Allah's screen from himself."
(Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Good Manners and Form (Al-Adab), Volume
8, Book 73, Number 95)"

1-
Do not judge:
- “By the fig and the olive. And [by]
Mount Sinai. And [by] this secure city, We have certainly created man in the
best of stature; Then We return him to the lowest of the low, Except for
those who believe and do righteous deeds, for they will have a reward
uninterrupted. So what yet causes you to deny the Recompense? Is not God the
most just of judges? (95:1-8)
- “Indeed, you do not guide whom you
like, but God guides whom He wills. And He is most knowing of the [rightly]
guided.” (28:56)
2-
Do not escape
Prophet Muhammad did not leave Makkah
because the sin.
3-
Change it.
On the
authority of Abu Saeed al-Khudri (may God be pleased with him) who said: I
heard the Messenger of God say: “Whoever among you sees an evil action, let
him change it with his hand; if he cannot, then with his tongue; if he cannot
then with his heart, and that is the weakest of faith.”
(Reported in
Sahih Muslim, No. 79).
