Allaah ﷻ says in the Qur'an

 *أَلَمۡ يَعۡلَم بِأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَرَىٰ* 

 _Does he not know that Allah sees?_ 

[96:14]

_

Abu Huraira رضي الله عنه reported: The Prophet ﷺ said:

_“Allah Almighty said: O son of Adam, busy yourself with my worship and I will fill your heart with riches and alleviate your poverty. If you do not do so, I will fill your hands with problems and never alleviate your poverty.”_

[Sunan al-Tirmidhī 2466, Grade: Sahih according to Al-Albani]

Imam Abdullah ibn Al Mubarak رحمه الله wrote the following poetry...

 *رأيت الذنوب تميت القلوب* 

_I see that sins cause the heart to die_

 *ويتبعها الذل إدمانها* 

 _And disgrace follows continuity of sin_ 

 *وترك الذنوب حياة القلوب* 

 _And leaving sins is the revival of the heart_ 

 *وخير لنفسك عصيانها* 

 _And its better for you to rebel against the sinning_

Abu Nu’aym reported: Al-Rabia’ ibn Khuthaym  رحمه الله said to his companions, “Do you know the disease, the cure, and the healing?” They said no. Al-Rabia’ said, “The disease is sin, the cure is to seek forgiveness from Allah, and the healing is to repent and then not repeat it.”

[Ḥilyat al-Awliyā’ 1722]

What profound words from the Salaf! 

Brothers and sisters.. 

Stay away from sins. 

Major or Minor, doesn't matter. 

Flee away from the temptations of the Shaithan and flee towards the Mercy of Allah ﷻ.

Or else sins would overtake you and corrupt your heart.

_

Abu Huraira رضي الله عنه reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:

_“Verily, when the servant commits a sin, a black mark appears upon his heart. If he abandons the sin, seeks forgiveness, and repents, then his heart will be polished. If he returns to the sin, the blackness will be increased until it overcomes his heart. It is the covering that Allah has mentioned: No, rather a covering is over their hearts from what they have earned.”_ (83:14)

[Sunan al-Tirmidhī 3334, Grade: Sahih according to Al-Suyuti]

May Allah ﷻ protect us from sins, grant us forgiveness for our shortcomings, purify our hearts and save us from the Hellfire.
