The Small Stuff á´´á´° - by Ustadh Saad Tasleem

My brothers and sisters, there's a common expression that we hear, when people tell us, 'Don't sweat the small stuff.' Meaning, don't worry about the little things in life. And even though this expression may run true when it comes to certain portions or certain parts of our life, when it comes to our 'Taqwa' - when it comes to our consciousness of Allah Azzawajal, then we as Muslims, we pay attention to the details. We pay attention to the small things. When it comes to being aware of our sins and our good deeds, we are very careful and we pay attention to the small things. This is why, like Abu Bakr (radiAllahu Ta'ala anhu) he said, 'It is one of the most dangerous things, or one of the worst sins we can commit is to take our sins and to belittle it.'

And if you look at the sin itself, lot of times, it's not just the sin, but the effects that sin has upon us, when we begin to belittle that sin. Firstly, when we begin to belittle a sin of ours, what we will see happen is that, it will become easier and easier for us to commit that sin. So if every time we commit a sin, we say, 'You know what? It's not a big deal! Why worry about it?' And if we keep doing this, we will see that, firstly, it'll become easier and easier for us to indulge or be involved in this sin. Secondly, the other problem of belittling our sins is that eventually, belittling our sins leads to a heart that becomes sealed, a heart that becomes hard. As Allah Azzawajal told us: (بون يقصي كانوا ما قلوبهم على رنا) - that 'the stain has sealed their heart by that which they used to do.' Meaning if we keep belittling our sins, and we never make Tawbah (repent) from our sins, we never seek repentance, that eventually a time will come when our heart will become sealed. As the Prophet [ﷺ] told us that, 'When a person commits a sin, a dot is placed upon their heart and if they don't repent to Allah, then this dot remains. And if they commit another sin, another dot is placed upon their heart, until a time comes where their whole heart becomes covered and their heart becomes sealed.' And the danger of a sealed heart...is that a person with a sealed heart will not be effected by reminders. So a person may come, listen to the Jumu'ah Khutba, they may listen to a lecture, they may listen to their friends or their family or someone, remind them of Allah, remind them that these sins that they are doing are dangerous, but they'll say, 'You know what? It's not a big deal.' Or they'll sit and listen to reminder after reminder after reminder, and it will make no difference to them. May Allah Azzawajal protect us from having a sealed heart.
