Do Not Take A Small Sin Lightly


Do not take a small sin lightly; instead, think about Who it is that you are disobeying: You are disobeying the Almighty Lord Who [sometimes] punishes people for small sins, and [sometimes] pardons people for great sins. - Sufyān al-Thawrī [d. 161H/778CE]

  1. "Shaitan Khula Duhman Hai." Lecture a hadith was mentioned about small sins.Hadith:" Small sins are like twigs. Twig by itself craft fire, when gathered together they can form a fierce fire." Not the major sins,these are just the minor ones that we don't even think about. It made me so fearful."YA ALLAH(SWT)! Please forgive me. You are The Most Forgiving." Ameen...

  3. Ibn Al Hasan (A.R.) once remarked: “I am grieving for forty years over a sin committed by me.” Someone enquired, “What sin is that which has caused great concern and grief in you?”

    He replied, “Once I was visited by a friend and in order to entertain him, I bought fish which we subsequently ate. After the meal, I scraped some sand from my neighbour’s wall without his permission, to wash my hands. I am still crying over that sin.”
