Innovations Are More Beloved To Iblis (Satan) Than Sins
*Nonetheless, it is known that the sinner harms himself. As for the innovator, his harm exceeds onto others. In addition, the innovator's issue lies in the foundations of the religion, whereas the sinner's issues lies in a desire. The innovator has set himself in wait on the straight path of Allāh to obstruct others from it, but the sinner has not done so. The innovator maligns the Attributes and the perfection of the Lord, whereas the sinner does not do so. The innovator attempts to invalidate what the Messenger has been sent with, whereas the sinner's case is not the same. The innovator hinders the path to the Hereafter for others whilst the sinner is slow to move along this path due to his sins.*
