Can Thoughts Be Sinful Too
Sinful, immoral, and unethical thoughts corrupt one’s self, which is against the goal of deen, that is, Tazkia e Nafs. Therefore, they are accountable. However, the evil thoughts or intentions that are supposed to be thought to translate into actions, but one refrains from translating them into actions for God’s fear or for doing Ahsan (good action) are worthy to be forgiven.
