Allah Almighty revealed to a Prophet عَلَیْہِ السَّلَام from Banī Isrāˈīl: “When someone obeys Me, I am pleased with him, and when I am pleased with him, I give him many blessings. When someone disobeys Me, I am displeased with him, and when I am displeased with him, I curse him. My curse affects seven generations of his family.”^[1]

Many nations were destroyed

Those who disobey Allah Almighty, persistently sin and make up various excuses to show their sins as something ‘good’, should reflect on who they are disobeying. Likewise, those who consume usury and claim it is a form of profit should do the same. This is equally applicable to those who engage in immorality in the name of modernisation and those who disregard dressing modestly in the name of fashion.

Today, people may invent things, twist their words, change the name of sins, make their immoral acts appear good in the eyes of people by saying things that seemingly console the heart, but will they not enter the court of Allah Almighty? Ponder! Is the One Who we are disobeying not watching us when we sin? Are the angels not recording our deeds? Then what is the benefit of trying to justify our sins? A sin is a sin, and its consequences always serve as a lesson for us.

It is stated in the Quran:

وَ کَمۡ  اَہۡلَکۡنَا مِنَ الۡقُرُوۡنِ مِنۡۢ  بَعۡدِ نُوۡحٍ ؕ وَ کَفٰی بِرَبِّکَ بِذُنُوۡبِ عِبَادِہٖ خَبِیۡرًۢا  بَصِیۡرًا (۱۷)

Translation from Kanz al-Īmān: “And many generations we destroyed after Nūḥ. And your Lord is Sufficient, Aware of the sins of His bondsmen, All-Seeing.”^[2]
