Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: For one who brings one good deed, ten for him there are like it; and one who brings an ill-deed, will not be recompensed but with one like it. (Part 8, Surah Al-In’aam, Ayah 160)

Even if the sin is just one, it brings forth ten evil effects with it:

1.         A person displeases Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ by committing sins, and indeed Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ is Capable of punishing.

2.         The one who commits sins makes Satan happy.

3.         He distances himself from Paradise.

4.         He gets closer to Hell.

5.         He harms his own life – the most precious thing.

6.         He corrupts his Baatin (pure Nafs).

7.         He causes hurt to Kiraman Katibeen [i.e. angels writing his deeds].

8.         Such an individual saddens the Greatest Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم in his blessed shrine.

9.         He makes all the creation of earth and the Heavens a witness to his disobedience.

10.      He breaches the trust of all humans and disobeys Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ.

The evil effects of sins also bring about various types of harms and disadvantages in this world, some of them are mentioned below:

1.         Reduction in sustenance.

2.         He is overwhelmed by calamities.

3.         Life is reduced.

4.         Health deteriorates after a sudden weakness of the heart and all over the body.
