7. Verily those who live in awe for fear of their Lord; Those who believe in the Signs of
their Lord; Those who join not (in worship) partners with their Lord; And those who
dispense their charity with their hearts full of fear, because they will return to their
Lord;-It is these who hasten in every good work, and these who are foremost in
them.
(Al-Muminoon:57-61)
8. Aishah (RA) said: "I asked the Messenger of Allahﷺ about this Verse, and said:
'Are they the ones who drink wine, fornicate and steal?' Heﷺ replied: 'No,
O daughter of AsSiddiq (Abu Bakr); they are those who fast, pray and give
charity; yet they fear whether their alms and charities have been accepted or
not; those who hasten in ( doing) good deeds.”
(At-tirmidhi 3175)
9. Life of Abu Bakr (RA)
• "I wish I were a hair in the side of believing servant”
• He used to weep a lot and say: "Cry and if you can't,
try hard to."
• When he stood for prayers, he would stand like a piece
of wood, out of fear of Allah.
• When he was dying on his bed, he said to Aishah : "I
have obtained this cover, this milker and this slave
from the Muslim treasury; so please take them quickly
to Umar bin Al-Khattab.
• He also said: "I wish I were this tree, to be eaten and
bitten."
10. Focus of Umer (RA)
ٌعِقا َوَل َِّكِب َر َابَذَع َّنِإ
Verily, the Doom of thy Lord will indeed come to pass;-
(At Tur:7)
• Cried on reciting Quran (Tear marks)
• Death bed naseeha
• I will be doomed, if Allah doesn’t forgive me.
11. Usman (RA) and Akhirah
He would cry as he stood before a grave, until his
beard would become totally wet. He said: "If I
were to stand between Paradise and Hell, not
knowing where I would be taken, I would rather
choose to be ashes before I should know my final
destination.”
12. Ali (RA) and fear of Allah
He used to cry because he feared two things:
unfading hope, and following one's desires.
He said: "Having unfading hope makes one forget the
Hereafter, while following one's desires deviates
from the truth. This world is retreating and the
Hereafter is coming, so be among the sons of the
Hereafter, but do not be among the followers of this
world; because today there is action without
reckoning, whereas tomorrow, there is reckoning
without (any more) action."
13. Abu Darda’ (RA)
Abu Darda’ said: "The biggest thing I worry
about is that it may be said on the Day of
Resurrection: 'O Abu Darda', you have received
(true Islamic) knowledge, so what have you done
in respect to what you have known?"'
He used to say: "If you knew what you are facing
after death, you would not eat your meal nor
drink with any appetite ... I wish I were a tree to
be bitten and then eaten."
22. Umm Salamah (RA) said: "I heard the Messenger of
Allahﷺ saying: 'When sins spread amongst my Ummah,
Allah will set His Punishment upon them.'
I asked: 'O Messenger of Allah !ﷺ Would there not be
among them some pious people, at that time?'
He ﷺ replied: 'Yes, there would be.'
I said: 'So, what will Allah do with such people (the pious
ones)?'
He ﷺ replied: 'They would suffer the punishment,
like the other people, but then they would benefit from
the Mercy of Allah.”
(Ahmed:6/295)
23. Narrated Thawban: The Prophet ()ﷺ said: The people will soon summon one another to
attack you as people when eating invite others to share their dish. Someone asked: Will that
be because of our small numbers at that time? He replied: No, you will be numerous at that
time: but you will be scum and rubbish like that carried down by a torrent, and Allah will
take fear of you from the breasts of your enemy and last enervation into your hearts.
Someone asked: What is wahn (enervation). Messenger of Allah ()ﷺ: He replied: Love of the
world and dislike of death.
(Abu Dawud:4297)
24. It was narrated that ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar said:
“The Messenger of Allah ()ﷺ turned to us and said: ‘O Muhajirun, there are
five things with which you will be tested, and I seek refuge with Allah lest
you live to see them: Immorality never appears among a people to such an
extent that they commit it openly, but plagues and diseases that were never
known among the predecessors will spread among them. They do not cheat
in weights and measures but they will be stricken with famine, severe
calamity and the oppression of their rulers. They do not withhold the Zakah
of their wealth, but rain will be withheld from the sky, and were it not for
the animals, no rain would fall on them. They do not break their covenant
with Allah and His Messenger, but Allah will enable their enemies to
overpower them and take some of what is in their hands. Unless their
leaders rule according to the Book of Allah and seek all good from that
which Allah has revealed, Allah will cause them to fight one another.’’
(Ibn Majah:4019)
25. On the authority of Abu Umar who said: Allah sent two angels to
destroy a township with a natural disaster, but when they got there
they found a man praying in the masjid. They went back to Allah and
said: 'O Allah we found a man praying in the masjid.' Allah said to the
two angels: 'Go back and destroy the township with that man as well
because not once did he ever frown when he saw the people indulging
in haram.'
[Ibnul Qayyim, al-Jawaab al-Kaafi (1/46)]
26. Hadith on earthquakes
Ibn Abi Dunya reported that Anas bin Malik said: "I went with
another man to see Aishah (RA) ' and he asked her: ’O Mother of the
believers, tell us about the earthquake?
She said: 'When they authorize fornication, drinking of wine, the use
of musical instruments, Allah commands the earth: 'Tremble with
them so that they might give up and repent.’ Otherwise, He would
destroy it upon them.'
The man asked: 'O Mother of the believers, is it a punishment for
them?'
She replied: 'Rather it is some advice and mercy for the believers,
but a punishment and curse for the disbelievers.'
Anas said: 'I have never heard a Hadith, after the death of the
Messenger of Allah ﷺ which made me happier than this Hadith."
27. Imam Ahmad reported, on the authority of Jarir, that the Prophet ﷺ said:
"(Concerning) any people around whom sins are committed in their society,
whilst are they numerous and stronger than those who commit them yet never
tried to forbid them (the population) from doing so, Allah would punish all of
them.
(Ahmed:304)
28. Why we afraid of Shariah?
• Hard to practice
• Difficult to tell people
• Reactions of near and dear ones
• Expect instant gratification
• Hype created on media
29. Abdullah ibn Mas’ud reported: The Messenger of
Allah, ﷺ said, “Beware of minor sins. Verily, they
gather upon a man until he is destroyed.”
(Musnad Ahmad: 3808)
30. Don’t Underestimate
Imam Ahmad said: "Al-Waleed reported: "I heard
Al Awaza'I saying: 'I heard Bilal bin Sa'd saying:
'Do not look at the smallness or insignificance of
a sin, but look at the One you have disobeyed."'
33. 1. Loss of Knowledge
• Imam Malik’s naseeha for Imam Shafai: “I noticed
a light of knowledge in your heart from Allah, do not extinguish it
with darkness of sins.”
• Imam Shafai complained to his teacher Imam
Waka’ye bin Jarrah about weak memory, and
was advised to abstain from sinning.
34. 2. Loss of Rizq
Prophet ()ﷺ said: "A man is prevented from
receiving Rizq due to a misdeed.”
(Ibn Majah: 4022)
• Taqwah and righteousness pulls in rizq
• Avoidance and modification of deen leads to
loss of rizq
35. 3. Depression and Loneliness
• Sense of Isolation towards Allah
• Alienation between oneself and others,
especially righteous people
• When one's isolation intensifies, one is
deprived from benefiting from those good
people of knowledge
• Also affect one's relation with family
36. 4. Hurdles in Tasks
• Determined for a task
• Closed door to even easy tasks
• Darkness leads to deviations from right path
• Coward and weak willed
37. 5. Prevention from Obedience
• Chain reaction of misdeed start
• Obedient becomes hard
38. 6. Shortening of Life Span
• Removal of the blessings in his/her life
• Life, in reality, is that of the heart
• Wastage of life by being non productive
40. Sin Pile
A scholar of the past has said: "Among the punishments
for a sin is committing a subsequent sin.
And among the recompenses for a good deed is doing a
subsequent good deed.
When a person does a good deed, another good deed
besides it says: 'Do me as well.'
If he does it, a third one says likewise, and so on;
therefore, his good deeds, and recompense for them,
increase.
The same thing occurs, (but in a negative way), when a
person commits a sin."
41. The Prophet ﷺ said: "All the sins of my followers will be forgiven except those of the
Mujahirin (those who commit a sin openly or disclose their sins to people). An
example of such disclosure is of a person who commits a sin at night, and although
Allah has screened it from the public, then he appears in the morning, saying: ’O so-
and-so, I did such-and-such a ( evil) deed yesterday.' He spent his night screened by his
Lord (none knowing about his sin), yet in the morning he removed Allah's Screen from
himself.”
(Bukhari:6069)
43. …and such as Allah shall disgrace,- None can raise to honour…
(Al-Hajj:18)
44. Ibn Mas'ud (RA) said: "A believer sees his sins as if they were the base of a
mountain, which he fears might fall on him; whereas the sinner considers his
sins like some flies landing on his nose, which he repels so they fly away.”
(Bukhari:6308)
45. If any do seek for glory and power,- to Allah belong all glory
and power…
(Faatir:10)
46. Al-Hasan Al-Basri said: "The disgrace of a sin never leaves
sinners, for Allah has willed that He will disgrace
whoever disobeys Him."
50. Big mistakes when developing relationship

Editor's Notes
He ~ said to his son as he was dying: "Woe unto you! Place
my cheek on the ground, in the hope that Allah ~ might be
merciful to me."
He 4, would recite a Verse of the Qur' an and stay indoors
for days, receiving people who would come to visit him,
because of his excessive fear of Allah; he was extremely
mindful of the Punishment of Allah ~; he even had two
black lines on his face which marked the lines of his tears.
lbn 'Abbas 4, said to him: "Allah ~ has conquered new
lands with your hands (to spread Islam) ... " But he ~
replied: "I wish I would be safe, having no reward and no sin
in my account.”
