00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:02.660
Allah the Exalted says:

00:00:02.660 --> 00:00:23.660
“Nay, but whosoever hath done evil and his sin surroundeth him; such are rightful owners of the Fire; they will abide therein.” (2:81)

00:00:23.660 --> 00:00:28.300
Sahl Ibn Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) reported:

00:00:28.300 --> 00:00:32.299
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

00:00:32.299 --> 00:00:36.359
"Beware of minor sins."

00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:39.359
For the likeness of minor sins

00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:42.359
is like a group of people who stopped in the bottom of a valley.

00:00:42.359 --> 00:00:46.359
One person brought a stick, and another brought a stick,

00:00:46.359 --> 00:00:50.359
until they gathered enough to bake their bread.

00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:56.490
Indeed, when a person is held accountable for minor sins, they will destroy him.

00:00:56.490 --> 00:00:59.780
Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

00:00:59.780 --> 00:01:02.810
"Sins and acts of disobedience cause harm,

00:01:02.810 --> 00:01:05.810
and their harm to the heart is inevitable,

00:01:05.810 --> 00:01:08.810
just as the harm of poisons to the body,

00:01:08.810 --> 00:01:11.810
though they vary in their degrees of harm."

00:01:11.810 --> 00:01:14.810
Is there any evil or ailment in this world or the Hereafter

00:01:14.810 --> 00:01:18.810
that is not caused by sins and acts of disobedience?
