Berterusan dalam melakukan dosa akan membawa kepada keadaan di mana hati tidak lagi menganggapnya keji. Ia menjadi amalan biasa, lalu si pendosa tidak lagi bimbang terhadap kata-kata orang lain. Sebahagian pendosa bahkan berbangga dengan perbuatan jahat mereka, memberitahu orang lain yang sebelumnya tidak mengetahui apa yang telah mereka lakukan. Mereka sangat gembira ketika menceritakan perbuatan dosa mereka. Golongan seperti ini dinafikan penawar dan jalan untuk bertaubat; kerana Nabi ﷺ bersabda: "Semua dosa umatku akan diampuni kecuali dosa al-Mujahirin (mereka yang melakukan dosa secara terang-terangan atau mendedahkan dosa mereka kepada orang ramai). Contoh pendedahan seperti itu ialah seseorang yang melakukan dosa pada waktu malam, dan walaupun Allah telah menutupinya daripada pandangan umum, lalu dia muncul pada waktu pagi dengan berkata: 'Wahai fulan, semalam aku telah melakukan perbuatan (buruk) sekian-sekian.' Dia telah menghabiskan malamnya dalam keadaan ditutupi oleh Tuhannya (tiada siapa yang mengetahui dosanya), namun pada waktu pagi dia menyingkap sendiri tirai Allah daripada dirinya." 1 Setiap dosa diwarisi daripada umat terdahulu yang telah dibinasakan oleh Allah ﷻ. Homoseksual diwarisi daripada kaum Lut عليه السلام (kerana kebanyakan penduduk kampungnya adalah homoseksual). Penipuan dalam timbangan diwarisi daripada kaum Shu'aib عليه السلام. Menyebarkan kerosakan dan kekejaman di muka bumi diwarisi daripada pemerintahan Firaun. Kezaliman dan kesombongan diwarisi daripada kaum Hud عليه السلام. Maka seorang pendosa sebenarnya sedang menyerupai salah satu daripada umat-umat ini, yang merupakan musuh Allah ﷻ. Abdullah bin Imam Ahmad meriwayatkan dalam kitab Az-Zuhd karangan bapanya, daripada Malik bin Dinar yang berkata: "Allah ﷻ telah mewahyukan kepada salah seorang Nabi Bani Israil untuk disampaikan kepada kaumnya: 'Janganlah kamu mengikuti jalan musuh-musuh-Ku; janganlah kamu menyerupai musuh-musuh-Ku; janganlah kamu menaiki kapal-kapal musuh-musuh-Ku; janganlah kamu makan makanan musuh-musuh-Ku, kerana dengan demikian kamu akan menjadi seperti musuh-musuh-Ku.'" Abdullah bin Umar رضي الله عنه meriwayatkan bahawa Nabi ﷺ bersabda: "Aku diutus dengan pedang sebelum Hari Kiamat, sehingga Allah ﷻ disembah dengan Esa, tanpa mensyirikkan sesuatu pun bersama-Nya. Rezekiku dijadikan di bawah naungan tombakku, dan kehinaan ditetapkan ke atas kaum yang menentang perintahku; dan sesiapa yang meniru cara sesuatu kaum, maka dia termasuk dalam kalangan mereka."2

The continuity of committing sins would lead to a condition where the heart would no longer regard them as vile. They become a common practice, and so a sinner does not worry anymore about other people's comments. Some of the sinners even boast about their evil acts, informing others who did not previously know what they had done. They become extremely delighted when relating their sinful acts. These type of people are denied a cure and a way to repentance; for the Prophet ~ said: "All the sins of my followers will be forgiven except those of the Mujahirin (those who commit a sin openly or disclose their sins to people). An example of such disclosure is of a person who commits a sin at night, and although Allah has screened it from the public, then he appears in the morning, saying: 'O so-and-so, I did such-and-such a ( evil) deed yesterday.' He spent his night screened by his Lord (none knowing about his sin), yet in the morning he removed Allah's Screen from himself." 1 Every sin is inherited from an earlier nation which Allah ~ had destroyed. Homosexuality was inherited from the People of Lut ~' (as most of the people in his village were homosexuals). The cheating of the scales was inherited from the People of Shu'aib ~ ,. Spreading corruption and viciousness on earth was inherited from the rule of Pharaoh. Tyranny and arrogance was inherited from the People of Hud &JJI. A sinner is therefore assuming the form of one of these nations, which were enemies of Allah ~- Abdullah bin Imam Ahmad reported in the book, Az-Zuhd of his father, on the authority of Malik bin Dinar who said: "Allah ~ revealed to one of the Prophets of the Children of Israel tell his people: 'Do not follow the path of My Enemies; do not assume the form of My Enemies; do not board the ships of My Enemies; do not eat the food of My Enemies; thus they would become like My Enemies ." Abdullah bin Umar $> reported that the Prophet ~ said: "I was sent with a sword before the Hour, until Allah ~ is worshipped Alone, without associating any partners with Him. My provision was made under the shade of my lance, and disgrace was set on those people who oppose my command; and whoever copies the manner of a people, he is one of them."2
