Gunohlar qalbni zaiflashtiradi
Sins weaken the heart
Gunohlar insonning qalbiga ta'sir qiladi, shu sababli u Rabbini ulug'lashdan ojiz qoladi va uning xotirjamligi susayadi. Agar insonning qalbi hushyorlik bilan to'lib-toshgan bo'lganida, u hech qanday gunohni sodir etishga jur'at etmagan bo'lardi. Ba'zi aldangan kishilar aytadilar: "Ba'zan meni gunoh qilishga undaydigan narsa Allohning Rahmatidan foydalanish umididir, qalbimda Uni ulug'lash zaifligi emas." Bu shunchaki o'z-o'zini aldashdir; chunki qalbda Allohni ulug'lash, Uning Muqaddasligini ulug'lash demakdir, bu esa har qanday gunohni sodir etishga qarshi turadi. Allohga itoatsizlik qilishda jasorat bilan berilganlar Uni Unga lozim bo'lgan to'g'ri baho bilan ko'rmaydilar. Bu Allohdan kelgan jazodir, u Uning bandalari qalbidan qo'rquv hissini olib tashlaydi, shunda gunohkorlar O'zi Allohning Amrlarini nomaqbul hurmat qilganidek, ularni ham hurmatsizlik bilan ko'rishadi. Odamlar kishini Allohni sevish darajasiga qarab sevadilar; uni Allohdan qo'rqish darajasiga qarab hurmat qiladilar; uni Allohni maqtash darajasiga qarab maqtaydilar. Qanday qilib inson Allohning muqaddasligini buzib, odamlarning ham uning muqaddasligini buzishini kutmasligi mumkin? Alloh O'z Kitobida (Qur'onda) gunohlar uchun lozim bo'lgan jazoni bayon etgan. U ulkan gunohkorlarni qilgan ishlari uchun kufr holatiga tashlagan. U ularning qalblarini gunohlari bilan muhrlagan va Rabbilarini unutganlaridek, ularni unutgan. U ularni Uning Dinini isrof qilganlaridek, isrof qilgan. Alloh O'z Kitobida barcha Mahluqlarining Unga sajda qilishini bayon etgandan so'ng shunday degan: {Kimni Alloh xor qilsa, uni hech kim izzatlay olmas}; ular Allohga sajda qilish amalini mensimay, uni bajarishdan bosh tortganlarida, U ularni xor qildi; Alloh tomonidan xor qilinganlaridan so'ng, ularni hech kim izzatlay olmadi.
Sins affect one's heart so it fails to glorify the Lord ~ and weakens its sense of tranquillity. If one's heart was filled with sobriety it would not have dared to commit any sin. Some deceived people say: "What induces me sometimes to commit sins is the hope of benefiting from Allah's Mercy, not the weakness of glorifying Him in my heart." This is simply self-deception; because glorifying Allah ~ in one's heart means glorifying His Sanctity, which would oppose the committing of any sins. Those who boldly indulge in disobeying Allah ~ do not consider Him with the correct estimation due to Him~. This is a punishment from Allah ~ which removes the sense of fear from the hearts of His Servants, so that sinners would despise hitn/her the way he/she disrespected the Commands of Allah ~ - People love another person according to his/her level of love for Allah ~ ; they fear hitn/her according to the level of his/her fear of Allah; they praise him/her according to the level of his/her praise for Allah ~. How could a person violate the sanctity of Allah ~ and not expect people to violate his/her sanctity? Allah ~ has stated in His Book (the Qur'an) the punishment due for sins. He ~ cast the big sinners into a state of disbelief for what they had earned. He ~ sealed their hearts with their sins, and forgot them the way they had forgotten their Lord. He ~ wasted them the way they had wasted His Religion. Allah ~ stated in His Book, after describing the prostration of all His Creatures to Him: (Whomsoever Allah disgraces, none can honour him)1; when they despised the act of prostrating to Allah ~ and refused to perform it, He ~ disgraced them; and no one could honour them after they had been humiliated by Allah ~-
