Sins like Mountains

The Unquestionable truth is that man is Allah’s chosen foremost creature being held accountable

As he, eternally, dared to bear the trust

Accountable

Allah (Exalted be He) has charged him with many responsibilities

He is commanded to live according to Allah’s law

This law is the commands of the Creator; the All-Expert Maker

Based on the truth that the maker is only knowledgeable expert of what He has made, deviation away from that law leads to sins

We have been created with desires, but any desire we have been provided has lawful or prohibited dimension

There’s a sexual desire and there’s marriage, there’s a desire for money and there’s work

Thus, these are legal desires we have been created with

And there’re permissible ways to satisfy the desires we have been created with

The sin means deviation from the path of Allah (Exalted be He)

So, earning money through unlawful means is a great sin

Transgression against honor of others is a great sin

There’re Sins, There’s Mercy..

Thus, the sin is to satisfy one’s desire in a way other than Allah’s (Exalted be He)

But, Allah (Exalted be He, The Most Merciful) out of His mercy to us

That there’s a gate of repentance for anyone errs and makes mistakes

If there’s no repentance, there would be innumerous sins as the sinful becomes criminal

But, “ Say: “O my Servants” (Az-Zumar 39:53)….look at the possessive pronoun in “O my servants” meaning you are my servants

It is as a parent says “you are my children”

It may have a different meaning: “you are My servants”

Say: “O my Servants who have transgressed against their souls! Despair not of the Mercy of Allah. Indeed Allah forgives all sins.” (Az-Zumar 39:53)

And Allah (Exalted be He) does not command us to repent except to accept the repentance

And He does not command us to ask His forgiveness except to forgive us

Therefore, Allah (Exalted be He) is Merciful; He has created us and He wants us to be happy: “Except whom your Lord has given mercy” (Hud 11:43)

But if one slips up, all the sons of Adam are sinners, but the best of sinners are those who repent often.

It’s all about repentance; without it, a small act of obedience turns into a major sin

Meaning, if there was no repentance, people would do whatever they want

But, “Say: “O my Servants who have transgressed against their souls! Despair not of the Mercy of Allah. Indeed Allah forgives all sins: it is He Who is the Forgiving, the Most Merciful.” (Az-Zumar 39:53)
