Here's the summary of the whole lecture:
How to avoid sins by Ibn Qayyim
.... prophet ( PBUH) said sin is what you dislike people seeing you do.
.. avoiding sins is an obligation, so better reward than doing nafil acts of worship
... first thing to know how disgusting and bad a sin is. Allah only makes sth haram that is very horrible and bad effect, not just for restriction. Picture the sin as a hateful disgusting thing.
... shaytan makes sin look nice or good. His trick is to change the namesnof things to make them appear as different and good. So need to see knowledge to know what is bad by knowledge.
... to avoid sins on3 must have shyness from Allah. Knowing that at every moment Allah knows about him, watching over him, and knows his heart. Arabi word Haya means being alive, so one with shyness his heart is alive.
.... b4 committing a sin, a noise in your head tells you it's wrong. Prophet ( PBUH) said That sound is the warner of Allah in the heart of every believer. B4 sin, do not suppress this feeling and say it aloud so u feel obliged to abandon sin. Say the word Allah and maadh Allah. Then immediately get up and move from that place. Because shaytan is there. Go to somewhere with righteous people around, an environment of goodness.
... when u walk away from sin, u walk away with an increased faith and fear of Allah. And a gomplete good deed will be written for you.
... thied way is to think of all Allah's blessings on you. And know that sins remove blessings definitely. Because Allah said if you are gratitude He will increase your blessings. For every sin, Allah removes a blessings from him due to that sin. If you repent, Allah returns that blessins. But persistence upon sin, blessing does not return.
.... Allah doesn't change the destiny of a people until they change what is inside them. Meaning when people go from obedience to disobedience, blessings and good state go from good to bad. Especially spiritual blessings like faith/ iman. Sins are fire that vonsumes blessings just as fire consumes firewood.
.... fourth way is to fear the punishment of Allah azzavajal. And get the knowledgebof hell fire and the grave. Make the greatest fear in life the fear of Allah. And yhat fear means you place a barrier between you and His punishment. That fear should prompt you and motivate you to do sth about it, and knowing that nothing can protect you from Allah's anger and punishment more than avoiding sins. Take the verses of describing the punishment of Allah in the Quran as a merci and warning for the believers.
Allah said verily those who fear Allah are the knowledgeable people / Ulema. Ignorance is enough to be deceived by Allah's kindness. Foolish are those who understand Allah's verses of merci and compassion in the Quran as the concession to sin. These verses are so that sinners don't lose hope of forgiveness not that they are allowed to continue sinning.
.... The fifth way and the strongest way to remain patient and avoid sins is to love Allah. Because you obey someone you love. Sins and transgressions are due to weak love for Allah azzavajal. And love for Allah is the greatest level of faith/ iman. Love of Allah means you wanna be in His company, look at Him, listen to Him, please Him, and hate ehat Allah hates. So sins are what Allah hates and you would hate them too.
.... 3 pillars of any worship is to do it out of love for Allah, fear his punishment and hope for reward.
.... 2 conditions of every worship is to do it sincerely for Allah and according to the sunnah of messenger ( PBUH).
.... there's a difference between a person who abandons sin due to fear of Him and a person who abandons sin due to His love which is greater. Love should be together with veneration and exhaulting Him, honouring and respecting His commands. This can be done by abundantly making zikr of Allah azzavajal. With this, when one sins, he rushes to repent and ask forgiveness because he hates knowing that he displeased Allah. Because the relationship with Allah is too precious to let go.
.... sixth way is to have self-respect, honour, and dignity. This will prevent someone from doing something that will humiliate and dishonour him. They purify themselves from environments ofbsin and haram. They dislike what brings them shame and humiliation. It's called al kiramah val izzah. He has too much self respectbto pass by wrong things with dignity. Allah says the believers are those who keep away from nonesense. Allah loves people with self respect and loftiness. Prophet(PBUH) said one of the signs of the hour is that the leaders become the foolish among them. So the only way a believer can earn self respect is to be around people of knowledge and eho have self respect and honour.
... the seventh way is to know the evil consequences of sins. Prophet ( PBUH) said every time you sin, there will be a black dot in your heart. If you persist, the entire heart will become black and it dies. Your face becomes dark, depression, stress, anxiety, pain, lack of focus, weakness when facing the enemy, confusion in all affairs, sensenof abandonment, being empowered by enemy, facing humiliation, internal fear and losing authority, wasting of time, failing to benefit from your own knowledge, forgetting what you've learnt, one sinnleads to another until the heart dies all together.
... the eighth way is to stop having worldly hope and dreaming about this life and having a strong conviction that soon you will depart this worldly life. If you realise we are only travellers in this world, the easier you can avoid the sin. Because a traveller determines to move each time he enters a town. As a traveller you don't pack up things you don't need. A traveller is light, quick, and ready to move. For a person in this world, this extra package is sins. Why do you want to meet Allah with all these sins and packs? Allah describes sinners in the day of judgement as people carrying burden on their back. Stop having so many delusional dreams about what you want to achieve in life. If you could ask anyone in their grave if they managed to finish what they wanted in this life, they will say no. Death happens quick and there is no one who can achieve satisfaction and peace.
... the ninth way is to avoid excessive eating, drinking, clothing, sleeping, and gathering with people. Because a motivation to sin comes from over indulgence in these. When the permissible is no longer satisfying he will indulge in impermissible. For example when fasting, most people don't find motive to sin. Prophet ( PBUH) said the son of Adam do not fill a vessel worse than his stomach, it is enough for him to eat a few morsels of food to keep his back straight. Keep a third for food, a third for drink, and a third for air. A stomach in relaxed mode is around 900 ml, so a third is around 300 gr/ml capacity. Otherwise you will be sedantry and cannot worship.
... tenth way to avoid sin to have strong iman/ faith, and that's the belief that Allahnis watching and fill the heart with the belief that Allah has prepared a punishment for the sinner and a paradise and merci for the believers. Prophet ( PBUH) said iman tears away, so ask Allah to renew iman in your heart. So the more you renew it and take care of it with acts of worship, the more it keeps iman refreshed and keeps you away from sins.
