We will perhaps mention specific sins and their evil consequences in articles to come. For now, we take a look at the dire consequences of committing sins in general. The Prevention of Knowledge Knowledge is a light which Allah throws into the heart, and disobedience extinguishes this light. The Prevention of Sustenance Just as Taqwaa brings about sustenance, the abandonment of Taqwaa causes poverty. There is nothing which can bring about sustenance like the abandonment of disobedience.
Disobedience weakens the heart and the body.
Its weakening the heart is something which is clear. Disobedience does not stop weakening it until the life of the heart ceases completely. Disobedience reduces the life span and destroys any blessings. Just as righteousness increases the life span, sinning reduces it. Disobedience sows its own seeds and gives birth to itself until separating from it and coming out of it becomes difficult for the servant.
