Note: Sins Have A Negative Effect On The Hearts


💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 The more sins that a Muslim deliberately and pridefully does, the more their heart is covered by dark spots which prevent them from recognizing Allah's Light, humbly submitting to Allah's Laws, and being able to tell apart right from wrong.
While it is true that Allah the Most Forgiving can always forgive us when we repent sincerely, it is better to avoid insisting on committing what He prohibited so that when Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala takes us, we aren't caught in the middle of doing what He dislikes and which can bring forth eternal remorse eventually.
Sins committed intentionally are also the reasons why a Muslim may encounter difficulties and further challenges in their lives. A trial can be something that Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala sends to chosen souls so that they go through a form of purification and their sins are expiated before being granted entry to Jannah Paradise. To have a more pleasant or easier life, it is a wise decision to stay away for Allah's sake from wrongdoings, such as backbiting and telling deliberate lies, as much as possible, and to immediately seek Allah's Forgiveness whenever one is overcome by temptation.
📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam 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.'" (The Noble Qur'an 83:14)
