Consider the following ill-effects of sinning and of being heedless to the remembrance of Allah:loneliness, not having your prayers answered, developing a hard heart, a lack of blessings in wealth and health, being prevented from knowledge, humiliation, anxiety, and being tested by evil companions who pollute your heart. The above-mentioned results follow sinning just as plants grow after being watered.
If these then are the effects of sinning, the remedy lies only in repentance.
