The evil consequences of sinning

 

Listed below are some of the evil consequences of sinning.

 

1. A barrier develops between Allah and the evildoer:

)Nay! Surely, they [evildoers] will be veiled from seeing their Lord that day) (Qur'an 83: 15)

 

2. When a person perpetrates evil deeds on a continual basis, he will become despondent, losing hope of being saved.

 

3. The evildoer often falls into a state of depression and anxiety:

(The building which they built will never cease to be a cause of hypocrisy and doubt in their hearts…) (Qur'an 9: 110)

 

4. Fear permeates the heart of the evildoer:

(We shall cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve, because they joined others in worship with Allah...)  (Qur'an 3: 151)

 

5. Life becomes wretched for the evildoer:

(...verily, for hint is a lure of hardship…..)  (Qur'an 20: 124)

 

6. The heart of the evildoer blackens and becomes hard:

(…and made their hearts grow hard.) (Qur'an 5: 13)

 

7. An evildoer's face loses its light and becomes morbid:

(As for those whose faces will become black [to them will be said]: 'Did you reject Faiths….)

( Qur'an 3: 106)

 

8. People feel contempt for an evildoer.

 

9. The worldly circumstances of an evildoer become straitened:

(And if only they had acted according to the Torah, the Injeel [Gospel, and what has [now] been sent down to them from their Lord [the Qur'an], they would surely have gotten provision from above them and from underneath their feet.)

(Qur'an 5: 66)

 

10. The wrath of Allah, a decrease in faith, and calamity --- all of these are the lot of the evildoer:

 

(So they have drawn on themselves wrath upon wrath.)

(Qur'an 2: 90)

 

(But on their hearts is the Raan' [covering of sins and evil deeds] which they used to earn.)  (Qur'an 83: 14)

 

(And they say, 'Our hearts are wrapped [i.e. do not hear or understand Allah's Word].)  (Qur'an 2: 88)
