From Among the Punishments of Sins:






- There is the weakening of the journey to Allaah and the (blessed) abode of the Hereafter.

- There is the stoppage of blessings and the lowering of punishments.

- A servant is living in a state of fear, dread and loneliness.

- The heart is turned away from a condition of healthiness and correctness to that of illness and deviation.

- The heart becomes blind and its light is extinguished.

- The removal of status, honor and respect in the sight of Allaah and His creation.

- A decrease in one's intellect.

- The blessings of long-life, provisions, knowledge, deeds and obedience are blotted out.

- The various species of creation confront the servant with injury.

- The servant forgets himself.

- The Guardian Angel withdraws from the servant and Shaytaan draws near to him.
