Listed below are some of the evil consequences of sinning.
1. A barrier develops between Allah and the evildoer:
“Nay! Surely they [evildoers] will be veiled from seeing their Lord that day.”
(Quran 83:15)
2. When a person perpetrates evil deeds on a continual basis, he will become despondent, losing hope of being saved.
3. The evildoer often falls into a state of depression and anxiety:
“The building which they built will never cease to be a cause of hypocrisy and doubt in their hearts…”
(Qur’an 9:110)
4. Fear permeates the heart of the evil doer:
“We shall cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve, because they joined others in worship with Allah…”
(Qur’an 3:151)
5. Life becomes wretched for the evil doer:
“…verily for him is a life of hardship…”
(Qur’an 20:124)
6. The heart of the evildoer blackens and becomes hard:
“…and made their hearts grow hard.”
(Qur’an 5:13)
7. An evildoer’s face loses its light and becomes morbid:
“As for those whose faces will become black [to them will be said]:’Did you reject Faith…'”
(Quran 3:106)
8. People feel contempt for an evildoer.
9. The worldly circumstances of an evildoer become straitened:
“And if only they had acted according to the Torah, the Injeel [Gospel], and what has [now] been sent down to them from their Lord [the Quran], they would surely have gotten provision from above them and from underneath their feet.”
(Quran 5:66)
10. The wrath of Allah, a decrease in faith, and calamity – all of these are the lot of the evildoer:
“So they have drawn on themselves wrath upon wrath.”
(Quran 2:90)
“But on their hearts is the Raan [covering of sins and evil deeds] which they used to earn.”
(Qur’an 83:14)
“And they say, ‘Our hearts are wrapped [i.e. do not hear or understand Allah’s Word].'”
(Quran 2:88)
