“You who commit a sin, do not feel secure about the results, for what goes along with the sin is more serious than the sin itself. Your lack of shame before the angels who witness you when you commit the sin, is more than the sin itself. Your laughter when you sin, as you forget the punishment of Allah, is more serious than the sin itself. Your delight, if you get a chance to commit the sin, is more serious than the sin itself. Even your disappointment, if you miss a chance to sin, is more serious than the sin itself. Do you know what else is more series than the sin itself? It is the fact that you are terrified that you may be discovered and lose your reputation, but have no fear of the knowledge that Allah sees you.”
— Abdullah b.Abbas
