Many of us are careful about sins committed in public because we fear people's criticism. But how careful are we when we are alone, away from the eyes of men? Do we think Allah does not see? Allah says: "Does he not know that Allah sees?" (Qur'an 96:14) One of the scholars, Dr Luqman Idris Sekoni narrated the story of a butcher. He would slaughter cattle and sell meat during the day and then return home. One day, while returning, he found a man who had been stabbed and was struggling for his life. He rushed to help him, but the man died shortly afterwards. People passing by thought he was the murderer. Despite his protestations of innocence, he was arrested, tried, and sentenced to death. On the day of his execution, he asked to make a final statement. He said: "I swear by Allah, I did not kill this man. But I deserve this punishment because I have killed before." He then confessed that before migrating to the town, he worked as a canoe driver. There was a woman whom he wanted to marry, but she rejected him, married another man, and had a child. Years later, she happened to cross his path while travelling. There was no other boatman available except him. He demanded that she commit zina with him. When she refused, he threatened to kill her child. He threw the innocent child into the river and fled. Then he said: "I am innocent of this man's blood, but I am guilty of another." Whether this story is authentic or not, the lesson remains profound. Many people think that because their sins are hidden from people, there will be no consequences. No. A sin committed in secret is still witnessed by Allah. Some watch pornography in private. Some commit zina in secret. Some consume intoxicants behind closed doors. Some engage in fraud thinking no one knows. But Allah knows. And sometimes, Allah exposes people in public because of what they concealed in private. Therefore, let us fear Allah both in public and in private. Let us not be among those who are righteous before men but shameless before their Lord. Repent before your sins expose you. For if Allah conceals your sins, it is out of His mercy — not because He is unaware of them. May Allah conceal our faults, forgive our sins, and grant us sincerity and righteousness in private and in public. Āmīn. |
