![THE DANGER OF TAKING SIN LIGHTLY ......
We know, may Allah have mercy on us, that Allah has commanded His slaves to repent sincerely and has made doing so obligatory. He says (interpretation of the meaning): “O you who believe! Turn to Allah with sincere repentance…” [al-Tahreem 66:8].
Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “You do things which in your eyes are less significant than a hair, but at the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), we used to count them as things that could destroy a man.”
Ibn Mas’ood (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “The believer regards his sin as if he were sitting beneath a mountain which he fears may fall on him, whereas the sinner regards his sin as if a fly lands on his nose and he swipes it away.”
We can understand understand the seriousness of the matter by reading the following hadeeth of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)? “Beware of the minor sins which are often thought of as insignificant, for they are like a group of people who stopped in the bottom of a valley. One of them brought a stick, and another brought a stick, until they had gathered enough to cook their food. These minor sins, if a person is called to account for them, will destroy him.” According to another report, he said: “Beware of minor sins, for they will pile up until they destroy a person.” (Reported by Ahmad; Saheeh al-Jaami’, 2686-2687
There should not be in your mind any sin so grave that it prevents you from holding a good opinion of hope with Allah Ta'ala and causes you to despair of His mercy and grace. He who has recognised his Rabb knows that infront of his Rabb's grace and mercy, his sins are insignificant.
Sometimes when we plan to sin, the Almighty creates an obstacle that prevents us from fulfilling that sin. Be thankful for His Love & Mercy.](https://scontent-a-sin.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpf1/v/t1.0-9/10370969_940390339317965_3471237577364996948_n.jpg?oh=b224f219d57b23b93f92d89285c41946&oe=553128EF)
