PROUDLY SINNING?

Hide Your Sins
➖➖➖
We live in a time where people are proudly declaring and boasting about their sins.
“I was out with this girl.”
“I was chilling with this boy.”
“I got super drunk the other day.”
“I saw this movie, listened to this music.”
And the list goes on and on..
We see an endless array of proud sinners sharing their sins with others.
They forget they are transgressing against the Lord of the Worlds.
The Lord of the Universe.
Because they have taken a blessing of Allāh ﷻ, the screen that was put in front of their sin so nobody could see it and they have thrown it back at Allāh ﷻ
Abu Huraira رضي الله عنه reported: The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “Everyone from my nation will be forgiven except those who sin in public. Among them is a man who commits an evil deed in the night that Allāh has hidden for him, then in the morning he says: O people, I have committed this sin! His Lord had hidden it during the night but in the morning he reveals what Allāh has hidden.”
[Sahih al-Bukhari 5721, Sahih Muslim 2990]
Stop your shamelessness!
Stop telling everyone about the sins that you commit, major or minor.
Repent for your sin and strive to improve yourselves to become better so you raise your ranks in the sight of Allāh ﷻ.
Allāh ﷻ says:
إِنَّمَا ٱلتَّوْبَةُ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ لِلَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ ٱلسُّوٓءَ بِجَهَٰلَةٍۢ ثُمَّ يَتُوبُونَ مِن قَرِيبٍۢ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ يَتُوبُ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ ۗ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمًۭا
Allāh accepts only the repentance of those who do evil in ignorance and foolishness and repent soon afterwards; it is they to whom Allāh will forgive and Allāh is Ever All-Knower, All-Wise.
وَلَيْسَتِ ٱلتَّوْبَةُ لِلَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا حَضَرَ أَحَدَهُمُ ٱلْمَوْتُ قَالَ إِنِّى تُبْتُ ٱلْـَٰٔنَ وَلَا ٱلَّذِينَ يَمُوتُونَ وَهُمْ كُفَّارٌ ۚ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ أَعْتَدْنَا لَهُمْ عَذَابًا أَلِيمًۭا
And of no effect is the repentance of those who continue to do evil deeds until death faces one of them and he says: “Now I repent;” nor of those who die while they are disbelievers. For them We have prepared a painful torment.
[4:17-18]
At the end of each day, repent.
Ya Ibn Adam! The straight path offers a struggle with the reward of Goodness upon Goodness endlessly.
While the Path of Shaithan offers pleasures upon pleasures temporarily to distract you so you may be in Torment upon Torment endlessly.
You may choose which end you strive for!
May Allāh ﷻ conceal our sins and forgive us all of us.
آمِيْن يَارَبَّ الْعَالَمِينْ
