◇ بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ◇
" Sin may be more beneficial for a person – if it leads him to repent – than engaging in many acts of obedience. "
- Ibn al Qayyim (r.a)
~ Meaning of the statement :
'A person may commit a sin and enter Paradise because of it, or he may do an act of worship and enter Hell because of it.’
They said, ‘How is that?’
He replied, ‘He may commit a sin and then it remains at the forefront of his thoughts, and when he stands or sits or walks he remembers his sin. So then there comes about shame, repentance, seeking forgiveness and regret, so that that will be the means of his salvation.
And [on the other hand] one may perform a good deed and it remains at the forefront of his thoughts, so when he stands or sits or walks he always remembers it and it results in him being amazed [with himself] and prideful. So that will be from the cause of his doom.
[Madaarij al-Saalikeen 1/299]
