Gunohlar sharmandalik va xorlik keltiradi. Barcha izzat-sharaf Allohga itoat etishdadir. U zot aytdi: ({Kim izzat-sharaf va ulug'likni xohlasa, bilsinki, barcha izzat va ulug'lik Allohga xosdir}) 1, ya'ni inson izzat va ulug'likni Allohga itoat etish orqali izlashi kerak. Salaflardan bir olimning duosi shunday edi: "Ey Alloh! Meni Senga itoat etishim bilan izzatlantir, lekin Senga osiyligim bilan meni xor qilma." Al-Hasan al-Basriy aytdi: "Gunohning xorligi gunohkorlardan hech qachon ketmaydi, chunki Alloh ta'alo kimki Unga osiy bo'lsa, uni xor qilishni iroda qilgan." Gunohlar aqlni buzadi Gunohlar aqlni buzadi, chunki aqlning o'z basirati bor, gunoh esa albatta o'sha basiratni o'chiradi. Salaflardan bir olim shunday degan: "Aql yo'q yoki nuqsonli bo'lmasa, hech kim Allohga osiy bo'lmaydi. Buning dalili shuki, agar aql mavjud bo'lib, gunoh qilishdan to'sganida, inson o'zining barcha holatlarini mukammal biluvchi Allohning himoyasida bo'lgan bo'lardi." Gunohlarning to'planishi qalbning muhrlanishiga olib keladi Inson doimiy ravishda gunoh va yomon ishlarga botganida, qalbi muhrlanadi va u beparvo hamda o'ylamaydigan bo'lib qoladi. Bir olim Allohning: ({Yo'q, balki ularning qalblariga ular qilib kelgan (gunohlari va yomon amallari) zanglik bo'lib o'rnashgan}) oyatini tafsir qilib, shunday degan: "Bu bir gunohdan keyin ikkinchi gunohdir." 2

Sins bring down dishonour and humiliation on sinners. All dignity is in obeying Allah ~; He ~ said: (Whosoever desires honour and glory, then to Allah belong all honour and glory) 1 i.e. one should seek it honour and glory by being obedient to Allah~- One supplication of a scholar of the past was: "O Allah! Honour me with my obedience to You, but do not disgrace me with my disobedience to You." Al-Hasan Al-Basri said: "The disgrace of a sin never leaves sinners, for Allah ~ has willed that He will disgrace whoever disobeys Him." Sins corrupts one's intellect Sins corrupt the mind; for the mind has its insight, and a sin inevitably extinguishes that insight. One scholar of the past has said: "No one disobeys Allah ~ unless their mind is absent (or deficient); and this is evident, for if one's mind were present, to prevent him from committing a sin, one would be under the Protection of Allah ~ ' Who is fully aware of all his conditions." The accumulation of sins leads to the sealing of the heart When a person indulges incessantly in sin and wrongdoings, his/her heart becomes sealed up, and he/she would be careless and thoughtless, as reported by a scholar in his interpretation of the Verse: (Nay, but on their hearts is the Raan ( covering of sins and evil deeds) which they used to earn) , he said: "It is one sin after another sin." 2

Al-Hasan al-Basriy dedi: "Bu bir gunohning ustiga yana bir gunoh qo'shilishi bo'lib, nihoyat yurak ko'r bo'lib qoladi." Boshqalar esa aytdilar: "Gunohkorlarning yomonliklari va xatolari juda ko'payganda, ular yuraklarini o'rab oladi." Bu dardning haqiqati shundan iboratki, yurak gunoh sababli zanglaydi. Shunday ekan, gunohlar ko'paygan sari zang ham ortadi, to u butun yurakni o'rab olguncha, uni egallaguncha va unga muhr bo'lguncha davom etadi.

Al-Hasan Al-Basri said: "It is one sin on top of another sin, until the heart becomes blind." Others have said: "When the wrongdoings and misdeeds of sinners become vastly increased, they will surround their hearts." The reality of this ailment is that the heart becomes rusty because of a sin; so when sins increase, the rust increases until it surrounds all the heart, until it dominates it, becoming a seal over it.
