罪过使人自贬身份，使其成为所有受造物中最卑贱、最低下的；而服从真主的善行则使人变得最为尊贵、最值得赞扬。真主 ~ 说：（的确，使自己的灵魂纯洁的人必定成功；使自己的灵魂堕落的人必定失败。）1（即成功者是服从并履行真主所命令的一切的人，他遵循伊斯兰一神信仰的正道，并行善功；而失败者则是违抗真主所命令的人，他拒绝一神信仰的正道，或追随多神崇拜，或做各种恶事。）罪人因其罪行而隐藏自己、躲藏起来，因其罪恶的行为而避免与人见面。而顺从真主的仆人则感到自己被提升、被尊崇；这种尊贵的状态正是源于他的正直。

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.
