Dhambi huacha athari zenye kuvuruga na kuharibu, katika mwili na roho, ambazo zina matokeo duniani na Akhera, ambayo Allah ~' Peke Yake ndiye Ajuaye. Baadhi ya athari hizi ni: Kunyimwa elimu: Kwa kuwa elimu ni nuru ambayo Allah ~ huiweka ndani ya moyo wa Mja Wake; hata hivyo, (kufanya) dhambi huizima nuru hiyo. Kuondolewa kwa baraka: Nabii ﷺ alisema: "Mja wa Allah hunyimwa baraka kwa sababu ya dhambi aliyoitenda." Kama vile kuwa na khofu ya Allah na kuwa mcha Mungu huvutia Baraka Zake, kutokuwa na khofu ya Allah huleta umasikini. Upweke: Hisia ya kutengwa, ambayo mwenye dhambi huhisi moyoni mwake, mbali na Allah ~ - Lakini upweke huu hauwezi kulinganishwa na tamaa na matamanio yote ambayo mtu anayo kwa maisha haya ya kidunia. Pia kuna kutengana ambako mtu anaweza kuhisi kati yake na wengine, hasa watu wema. Upweke wa mtu unapozidi, hunyimwa kunufaika na watu hao wema wenye elimu, na hivyo huvutwa zaidi na zaidi kwenye kundi la Shetani. Upweke huu waweza hata kuathiri uhusiano wake na mwenzi wake wa ndoa, watoto na jamaa, kwani unamzuia asione nafsi yake halisi. Mmoja wa wanazuoni wa zamani amesema: "Ninapomwasi Allah, naona athari yake katika mwenendo wa mke wangu na ngamia wangu wa kupanda kwangu." Kukabiliwa na shida: Kila mtu anapoanza kutafuta kufikia jambo fulani, anaweza kukabiliwa na matatizo yanayozidi; na hili linaonyesha kwamba yeyote anayemtii Allah ~ hupata wepesi katika kuendesha mambo yake yote. Kuhisi wasiwasi: Mtu anaweza kuzidiwa na huzuni na msongo wa mawazo, kwa sababu dhambi yake inaleta giza moyoni mwake. Hakika, utiifu kwa Allah ni nuru, lakini kumwasi Allah ni giza. Giza la mtu linapoongezeka, mchanganyiko wake huzidi, hadi anaanguka kipofu katika ulimwengu wa bidaa na upotovu, kama vile kipofu anayetembea peke yake usiku. Giza hili linaweza kuzidi kuwa kubwa na taratibu hujitokeza kama ukosefu wa mng'ao usoni mwa mwenye dhambi. Abdullah bin 'Abbas ~ alisema: "Tendo jema huleta mwangaza usoni, nuru moyoni, nguvu mwilini, na upendo katika nyoyo za watu. Tendo baya huonekana kama huzuni usoni, giza moyoni, udhaifu mwilini, upungufu wa baraka, na chuki katika nyoyo za watu." Kuzuiwa kufanya matendo mengine ya utii: Adhabu inayotokana na dhambi ni kwamba huongoza kwenye dhambi nyingine, hivyo kumzuia mtu kuwa mtiifu, jambo ambalo lingevutia Baraka na Neema za Allah ~. Ni kama mtu aliye na sumu ya chakula, aliyenyimwa milo mingi mitamu. Kufupishwa kwa umri wa mtu: Hakika dhambi hufupisha maisha ya mwenye dhambi kwa kumnyima Baraka za Allah. Hata hivyo, watu wametofautiana kuhusu jambo hili (kufupishwa kwa maisha): Kundi moja husema: Kufupishwa kwa maisha ya mwenye dhambi ni kuondolewa kwa baraka katika maisha yake, likiwa ni athari fulani za dhambi katika maisha yake. Kundi jingine husema: Dhambi kweli hufupisha maisha ya mwenye dhambi, kama zinavyopunguza baraka zake; kwani Allah ~ ana sababu nyingi za kuongeza baraka katika riziki ya mtu, zikiwemo baraka za maisha yake au umri wake. Kundi jingine husema: Athari za dhambi katika kufupisha maisha ya mwenye dhambi zinahusiana na ukweli kwamba uhalisia wa maisha ni maisha ya moyo, ndiyo sababu Allah ~ humchukulia kafiri kuwa amekufa, kwani amesema: ((Wao ni) wamekufa, si hai.) 1 Uhai, kwa kweli, ni wa moyo, hivyo umri wa mtu ni muda wa maisha yake halisi. Kwa hiyo, umri wa mtu ni wakati katika maisha yake anaoutumia kwa Allah ~ - Ucha-Mungu, uadilifu na utii huongezeka katika nyakati hizo, ambazo ndizo zinazowakilisha uhalisia wa maisha yake, na hakuna uhai isipokuwa huu. Kwa kweli, mtu anapomgeukia Allah na kujitoa kutenda dhambi, atapoteza maisha yake halisi hapa duniani, na siku moja atasema: (Ole wangu! (Laiti ningalijiandaa kwa maisha haya yangu) 2 Maisha ya mtu ni muda wa uhai wake, kwa kuwa hakuna maisha isipokuwa yale ya ibada kwa Mola; kumsifu, kumkumbuka na kumridhisha.

Sins leave disturbing and damaging effects, on the body and soul, which have consequences both in this world and the Hereafter, which Allah ~' Alone, knows. Some of these effects are: Deprivation of knowledge: As knowledge is a light that Allah ~ places inside the heart of His Servant, however ( committing) a sin extinguishes such a light. Withdrawal of blessings: The Prophet ~ said: "A Servant of Allah is denied blessings because of a sin he has committed." Just as having awe for Allah and being righteous attracts His Blessings, not having awe for Allah leads to poverty. Loneliness: A sense of isolation, which a sinner feels in his/her heart, towards Allah ~ - Yet, this loneliness cannot be compared to all the passion and appetite ones has for this worldly life. Also there is the alienation one may feel between oneself and others, especially righteous people. When one's isolation intensifies, one is deprived from benefiting from those good people of knowledge, and so one is drawn ever closer to the party of Satan. This isolation may even affect one's relation with one's spouse, children and relatives, as it prevents one from seeing one's true self. One scholar of the past has said: "When I disobey Allah, I see its effect in the conduct of my wife and my (riding) camel towards me. Facing hardship: Whenever someone sets out to achieve something, he/she may face mounting difficulties; and this goes to show that whoever obeys Allah ~ finds ease in conducting all his/her matters. Feeling anxiety: One may feel overcome by depression and sadness, because one's sin leads to darkness in one's heart. Indeed, obedience to Allah is light, but disobedience to Allah is darkness . When one's darkness increases, one's confusion intensifies, until one falls blindly into the world of innovation and misguidance, just as a blind person walking alone, at night. This darkness may become deeper and gradually shows up as dullness in the face of a sinner. Abdullah bin 'Abbas ~ said: "A good deed brings illumination to the face, light in the heart, power in the body, and love in the people's hearts. A bad deed shows as dullness in the face, darkness in the heart, weakness in the body, shortage of blessings, and hatred in people's hearts." Prevention from doing other obedient acts: The punishment which comes from a misdeed is that it leads to other misdeeds, thus preventing someone from being obedient, which would attract the Blessings and Grace of Allah ~- It is like a person with food poisoning, deprived of many delicious meals. The shortening of one's lifespan: Indeed, sins shorten the life of a sinner by denying him/her Allah's Blessings. However, people have differed regarding this matter (the shortening of one's life): One group say: The shortening of the life of a sinner is the removal of the blessings in his/her life, representing some effects of sins in his/her life . Another group say: Sins truly shorten the life of a sinner, just as they reduce one's blessings; for Allah ~ has many reasons for increasing the blessings in one's sustenance, including the blessings of one's lifespan or age. Another group say: The effects of sins in shortening the life of a sinner is related to the fact that the reality of life is that of the life of the heart, which is the reason why Allah ~ considers the disbeliever as dead, for He ~ said: ((They are) dead, not alive. ) 1 Life, in reality, is that of the heart, so the age of a person is the duration of his/her proper life . Therefore, one's age is the time in one ' s life that one devotes to Allah ~ - Piety, righteousness and obedience increase at those times, which represent the reality of his life, and there is no life except this . In effect, when a person turns away from Allah, and dedicates him/herself to committing sins, he/she would waste his/her real life here, about which he/she would say one day : ( Oh! If only I had prepared for this life of mine) 2 The life of a person is the duration of his/her life, for there is no life except that of devotion to the Lord; praising Him, remembering Him and pleasing Him.
