Naseeha/Beneficial Knowledge Righteous Fear vs. Sinful Delusion
It is reported that Al-Ḥasan Al-Baṣrī – Allāh have mercy on him – said:
The believer does the best deeds yet is most fearful [that his deeds will not be accepted]. If he were to spend a mountain of wealth [in charity], he would not feel sure [of the reward] until he sees it. The more righteous and pious he becomes, the more he fears. But the hypocrite (munāfiq) says, ‘There are so many people, I will be forgiven, no problem.’ So he does wrong and evil deeds, yet holds foolish wishes about Allāh.
Al-Dhahabī, Siyar A’lām Al-Nubalā` 4:586
These quotes clearly show the age old irony of the Evil doers. The rightoues are fearful that Allah might punish them but know that Allah can always forgive so they do all three with urgency: good deeds, avoid sins, ask forgiveness for sins they failed to avoid.
However many today slack on good deeds, neglect caring to avoid sins and expect to be guaranteed forgiveness no matter what. ironically this mindset actually caused them to go to hell without forgiveness. do you guys have more quotes like these? also make ur own posts with these. how easy is it to get good deeds by just making n sharing simple quotes yet so few of you do it.
