Dhambi husababisha kukatika kwa uhusiano na Allah
Sins lead to severing the tie with Allah
Wakati uhusiano na Allah ~ unapovunjika, sababu zote za wema hutoweka, na sababu za uovu huibuka. Maisha ya namna gani mtu angeweza kuishi iwapo angevunja uhusiano wake na Bwana wake, ambaye hawezi kuishi bila Yeye, na ambaye hana mbadala? Angebaki tu kuwa mawindo rahisi kwa adui yake mkuu, ambaye angemtesa kwa kila aina ya mateso. Mwanazuoni mmoja wa zamani alisema: "Unamwona mtu aliyenaswa kati ya (kumtii) Allah ~ na (kumtii) Shetani; akikataa kufuata Amri za Allah, Shetani atamshinda na kuchukua udhibiti wa akili yake iliyopotea." Allah ~ amesema: {Kumbukeni tulipowaambia Malaika: "Msujudieni Adamu." Basi wakamsujudia, isipokuwa Iblisi. Alikuwa miongoni mwa Majini; akaasi amri ya Mola wake. Je, basi mnamfanya yeye na uzao wake kuwa walinzi na wasaidizi badala Yangu, hali wao ni adui zenu? Ni uovu ulioje kubadilishana huko kwa madhalimu.} Allah ~ aliwaambia Waja Wake: "Nimemheshimu baba yenu (Adamu ~I), nimeinua hadhi yake, na nimemtukuza kuliko wengine. Niliwaamuru Malaika Wangu wamsujudie, kama ishara ya heshima kwake, nao wakanitii, isipokuwa Adui Wangu na adui yake (Iblisi). Basi itakuwaje mmfanye yeye na uzao wake kuwa washirika wenu, badala Yangu, na mthubutu vipi kumtii yeye na kuniasi Mimi, hali yeye ni adui yenu mkuu? Mmemfuata Adui Wangu baada ya Mimi kuwaamuru mmfanye kuwa adui yenu. Mnajua kwamba yeyote anayefanya urafiki na adui wa Mfalme naye pia anachukuliwa kuwa adui wa Mfalme; kwa sababu mapenzi na utii haviwezi kutimia isipokuwa kwa kudhihirisha uadui kwa maadui wa Anayetiiwa (Allah ~), na kwa kujiunga na Wafuasi Wake."
When there is a rupture of relations with Allah ~, all causes of goodness disappear, while causes of evil emerge. What kind of life could one lead if one broke one's relations with one's Master, Whom one cannot do without, and Who is irreplaceable? One would simply be left as easy prey to his arch-enemy, who would subject one to all kinds of suffering. One past scholar said: "You see a man caught between ( obeying) Allah ~ and ( obeying) Satan; if he refuses to adhere to Allah's Commands, Satan would overpower him and take control of his lost mind. " Allah ~ has said: ( Remember when We said to the Angels: "Prostrate yourselves unto Adam." So they prostrated themselves, except lblis (Satan). He was one of the Jinn; he disobeyed the command of his Lord. Will you then take him and his offspring as protectors and helpers rather than Me, while they are enemies of you? What an evil is the exchange for the wrongdoers.) 1 Allah ~ told His Servants: 'I have honoured your father (Adam ~I), and raised his status, and preferred him to others. I ordered My Angels to prostrate to him, as a sign of honour to him, and they obeyed Me, except My Enemy and his enemy (lblis). So how could you take him and his offspring as your allies, besides Me , and how dare you obey him and disobey Me, while he is your arch-enemy? You have followed My enemy after I had commanded you to take him as your enemy. You know that whoever befriends the enemy of the King is also considered the enemy of the King; for love and obedience cannot be fulfilled except by manifesting enmity towards the enemies of the Obeyed (Allah~ ), and by joining His Supporters.
