Gunohlar nafsni xorlaydi
Sins disgrace the self
Gunohlar insonni xor qiladi va uni barcha mavjudotlar ichida eng past va eng pastkash darajaga tushiradi, xuddi Allohga itoat qilish amallari uni eng sharafli va eng maqtovga sazovor qilganidek. Chunki Alloh ~ aytadi: (Darhaqiq, o'z nafsini poklagan kishi najot topgandir. Va darhaqiq, o'z nafsini ko'mib qo'ygan kishi ziyon ko'rgandir) 1 (ya'ni, najot topgan kishi - Islomiy tavhid haqiqiy diniga ergashib va solih amallarni qilib, Alloh buyurgan barcha narsalarga itoat etgan va ularni bajargan kishidir; ziyon ko'rgan kishi esa tavhidning haqiqiy dinini rad etish yoki shirkka ergashish yoki har xil yomon ishlarni qilish orqali Alloh buyurgan narsalarga itoatsizlik qilgan kishidir.) Gunohkor kishi o'z gunohlari ichida o'zini yashiradi va yashirinadi; gunohkor ishlari sababli odamlar bilan uchrashishdan qochadi. Holbuki, Allohning itoatkor bandasi o'zini yuksak va sharafli his qiladi; bu izzat holati uning solihligi tufaylidir.
Sins disgrace the self and tum into the meanest and lowest of all creations, just as acts of obedience to Allah ~ tum it into the most honourable and praiseworthy; for Allah ~ said: (Indeed, he who succeeds is he who purifies his own soul. And indeed he who fails is he who corrupts his own soul) 1 (i.e. the one who succeeds is the one who obeys and performs all that Allah has ordered, by following the true faith of Islamic Monotheism and by doing righteous deeds; but the one who fails is the one who disobeys what Allah has ordered, by rejecting the true faith of Monotheism or by following polytheism, or by doing every kind of evil.) A sinner conceals his/herself in his/her sins and hides; avoiding meeting people because of his/her sinful activities. Whereas an obedient Servant of Allah ~ feels his/herself elevated and honoured; and this state of dignity is due to his/her righteousness.
