The 4 Things Allah Gives You When You Abandon Sin | Sheikh Samih Jad

What Happens When You Leave Haram For Allah? Giving up something for Allah is never a loss; it is an investment in your soul and your future. In this Islamic reminder, we dive into the spiritual and worldly rewards of prioritizing Allah’s pleasure over temporary desires. 1. The Instant Reward: A Good Deed Written The moment you resist a sinful urge solely for Allah, the recording angels note it down as a full good deed. Even the struggle itself is rewarded. 00:00:52 – The Hadith of the Prophet (ﷺ) on the reward for not acting on a bad intention. 2. The Divine Exchange: Replacing Haram with Better Halal There is a famous principle: "Whoever leaves something for Allah, Allah replaces it with something better." This isn't just a consolation; it’s a divine promise. 00:01:40 – Understanding the concept of Allah replacing your sacrifice. 00:02:19 – The inspiring story of Abu Bakr bin Abdul Baqi and the pearl necklace. 00:06:20 – The sacrifice of Prophet Sulaiman (AS) and how Allah gave him control over the wind. 3. Peace of Mind and the Sweetness of Faith Leaving haram removes the constant anxiety and guilt that come with sin. In its place, Allah grants a unique "sweetness of faith" (Halawat al-Iman) and tranquility (Inshirah al-Sadr). 00:07:31 – How leaving sin brings true peace of mind and fearlessness of death. 00:09:58 – Lowering the gaze and the sweetness Allah places in the heart as a result. 4. Provisions and Ease in Your Affairs When you choose Taqwa (God-consciousness), Allah promises to find a way out for you and provide for you from sources you never expected. 00:12:35 – Commentary on the verse: "And whoever fears Allah—He will make for him a way out." 5. Divine Knowledge and Wisdom Piety is a key to understanding. When you purify your life, Allah sharpens your insight and grants you wisdom that cannot be learned from books alone. 00:14:35 – The link between Taqwa and receiving knowledge from Allah. How to Successfully Leave Haram Leaving a habit or a lifestyle is difficult. Here are four practical tools mentioned in the video: Dua and Tawbah 00:17:07: Consistently asking Allah for strength and a firm heart.
