Mwenye dhambi daima yumo mikononi mwa Shetani na matamanio yake mwenyewe. Anazuiliwa na kufungwa jela na adui mbaya zaidi wa binadamu. Hakuna gereza lililo finyu kuliko lile la matamanio ya nafsi, wala hakuna minyororo mirefu na ya kutisha kuliko ile ya shauku. Je, moyo uliofungwa na kuzuiliwa namna hiyo unawezaje kumgeukia Allah na Siku ya Mwisho? Moyo unapofungwa minyororo, magonjwa ya kila aina hukimbilia kuuvamia kutoka kila upande. Mtume ﷺ alisema: "Shetani ni mbwa mwitu kwa binadamu." Kama vile kondoo aliyejitenga yuko mikononi mwa mbwa mwitu, ndivyo mtu asiye na kinga ya Allah yuko mikononi mwa mbwa mwitu wake (Shetani). Kinga ya Allah itamlinda mtu tu pale anapokuwa mwadilifu na mwenye kumcha Mola wake. Kinga ya Kiungu humwokoa mtu na adhabu ya dunia hii na ya Akhera. Kwa hiyo, kila moyo unapokuwa mbali na Allah, huwa wazi kwa magonjwa ya kila aina, na kadiri unavyokaribia kwa Allah, ndivyo unavyokuwa mbali zaidi na magonjwa ya aina zote. Umbali kutoka kwa Allah umegawanywa katika makundi mengi; baadhi yake ni mazito zaidi kuliko mengine: Uzembe na kupuuza (baadhi ya wajibu) huufanya moyo uwe mbali na Allah. Umbali kutoka kwa Allah unaosababishwa na dhambi ni mzito zaidi kuliko ule unaosababishwa na uzembe. Umbali kutoka kwa Allah unaosababishwa na bid'ah katika dini ni mzito zaidi kuliko ule unaosababishwa na dhambi. Lakini umbali kutoka kwa Allah unaosababishwa na unafiki (katika dini) na shirki (kumshirikisha Allah) ndio mzito kuliko yote.

A sinner is always in the grasp of Satan and his/her own desires. He/she is detained and imprisoned by the worst enemy of mankind. There is no narrower a prison than that of one's base desires, and there are no more dreadful a length of chains than that of passion. How could such a detained and imprisoned heart tum towards Allah and the Last Day? When the heart is chained, all types of ailments rush towards it from every side. The Prophet ti said: "Satan is a wolf for mankind." Just as an isolated sheep is at the mercy of wolves, a person without the protection of Allah ~' is at the mercy of his/her wolf (the devil). The Protection of Allah ~ would only safeguard one when one is righteous and fearful of one's Lord. Divine Protection saves one from the punishment of this world and the Hereafter. Therefore, whenever one's heart is distant from Allah ~. it is subjected to all sorts of ailments, and the closer it is to Allah ~. the more distant it is from all types of diseases. Distance from Allah ~ is classified under many categories; some of them are more serious than others: Carelessness and negligence ( of some obligations) distance the heart from Allah ~- The distancing from Allah caused by a sin is more serious than that caused by carelessness. The distancing from Allah caused by innovation in religion is more serious than that caused by a sin. But the distance from Allah caused by hypocrisy (in religion) and polytheism (associating partners to Allah) is the most serious of them all.
