The Consequences of Sins

* Tafseer Al-Imam Al-Askari Book: … * Then He (Pbuhp) said: “Servants of Allah, be ware from being occupied in sinning and underestimating sins. For sins overwhelm who commits it till it leads him to commit greater sins. So he remains sinning, underestimating sins and committing greater sins than the past sins till he falls in rejecting loyalty to and the custody of the custodian of the Messenger of Allah, denying the prophecy of the prophet of Allah and still more till he denies monotheism and disbelieves in the religion of Allah.” [1]

* Al-Sheikh Al-Kulaini states in Al-Kafi Book: It was reported from Abou Bakeer from Imam Abou Jaa’far (Pbuh) that he said: “Every servant has a white spot in his heart. When he sins he draws a small black spot on that spot. When he repents the blackness is erased but if he keeps up sinning, the blackness covers all the white spot and when all the whiteness is blackened man shall never return to good. It is what Allah had said: {By no means! but on their hearts is the stain of the (ill) which they do}.”[5]

 

* Al-Sheikh Al-Kulaini states in Al-Kafi Book: Zurara reported from Imam Abou Jaa’far (Pbuh) that he said: “ All sins are hard sins and yet the hardest are what grows flesh and blood because he is either treated with mercy or tormented and none enters heaven but the pure ones.” [6]

Every nation that used to disobey and were living badly in it then they turned from doing what I hate to what I love, I shall turn their conditions from what they hate to what they love.” Also tell them: “My mercy precedes My rage, so don’t despair from my mercy because there is no sin that is greater than being forgiven by Me.” Also tell them: “Don’t derive my rage deliberately out of being obstinate. Don’t underestimate and under-treat my saints for I have assault when I’m raged than none of my creatures can withstand.” [14]

 

* Al-Sheikh Al-Moufeed states in Al-Amali Book: Soma’a bin Mahran reported from Imam Abou Al-Hassan Moussa Bin Jaa’far (Pbuh) that he said: “Don’t think of plenty of good as good and don’t think of few sins as few.

Allah punishes with shortage of supplies and unjust ruler every nation that manipulates the balances when trading. Every nation that doesn’t pay Zakat is punished by deprivation from rain. If it hadn’t been for cattle it would have never rained. When a nation breaks the covenant of Allah and the covenant of His Messenger, Allah impels their enemies against them to take some of what they have. Every nation that rules by other than what Allah had imposed, Allah makes them doom each other.” [25]

 

* Al-Sheikh Al-Sadouq states in Ilal Al-Sharai Book: Masa’ada bin Sadaqa reported from Imam Jaa’far Bin Mohammad Al-Sadiq (Pbuh) from his forefathers (Pbut) from the Messenger of Allah (Pbuhp) that he said: “ When Allah sees a nation that is occupied in sinning and among them there are three believers, Allah calls upon them saying: “O people disobeying me, if there were no believers among you who love each other in the name of My glory, who are establishing prayer on My land and mosques, who ask forgiveness in the depth of night fearing me I would have bestowed my torment upon you not caring for any matter or one.” [26]

If they all gathered on not paying Zakat they would have perished. Allah pushes calamities away from who don’t perform pilgrimage among our follower by the ones who perform pilgrimage.
