As a whole, whoever sins, then sins remove away the blessings from the Deen and the Dunyaa, so that he won’t find any blessings in his age [Life full of suffering and illnesses.], his religious affairs [Less good deeds.] and his worldly affairs [A person may have much wealth, but he may have a problem with his wife, children or the society abhors him etc.]. Ibn al-Qayyim [al-Jawaab al-Kaafi (1/84)]

Ibn al-Qayyim [al-Jawaab al-Kaafi (1/84)]  Repel the thought, for if you don't, it becomes an idea. So repel the idea, for if you don't it will become a desire. So fight against that(desire), for if you don't, it will become a determination and a passion. And if you don't repel that, it will become an action. And if you don't replace it with its opposite, it will become a constant habit. So at that point, it will be difficult for you to change it....                            There are three dangers which may prevent you from examining yourself and taking account of your acts.   The first of these dangers is heedlessness.    The second is the flood of tastes and desires that gush from your ego, your lower self.    The third is bad habits, in fact all habits, which make one like a machine.    The one who can protect himself against these three dangers, with Allah's help, will find salvation in both worlds...

  • Repel the thought, for if you don't, it becomes an idea. So repel the idea, for if you don't it will become a desire.
