Allah Knows What You Just Did!

As-Salaamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullaah.

In the Name of Allaah, the Most Merciful...

Al Imam ibn ul-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah mentions in his
tremendous book "al-Jawaab ul-Kaafy li man sa`ala 'an
id-daa`ish-Shaafi" also called "ad-Daa`u wad-dawaa`":

"...And also in 'al-Hilya' [is a report] that Ibn
'Abbaas said, 'Oh sinner, don't feel safe from the
evil consequence of it (sin). And that which comes
along with sin is greater (in evil) than the sin:

The minute amount of shyness that you have from the
one on your right and the one on your left while your
committing sin is greater (in evil)than the sin;

And your laughing while you don't know what Allah will
do with you is greater (in evil) than the sin;

And your happiness with sin when you commit it is
greater (in evil) than the sin;

And your sadness over sin when it (the chance to
commit sin) passes you is greater (in evil) than the
sin;

And your fear of the wind when it moves the door which
veils you while you're committing sin, and your heart
isn't disturbed (by the fact) that Allah sees you is
greater (in evil) than the sin..."

Thank you for sharing this with us. I just thought I would add: Allah also knows, in what circumstances, his people commited sin. Allah knows everything, indeed. He is the best Judge. He brings people closer to Himself not by fear alone but also by hope and love. While we should be ashamed of our sins, we should not lose hope; we should continue to try to get on the path of God no matter how many time we fall; no matter what temptation we feel; no matter what grave mistakes we make; no matter how disillusioned we become with our strength. Allah is the Greatest, the Just and the Merciful.
