Bilal ibn Sad (RA) said, “Do not look at the smallness of the sin; rather, look at the One whom you have disobeyed.” [1]
Message: We should never regard any sin as insignificant, because every sin is disobedience to Allah (SWT). When we hold the greatness of Allah (SWT) in our hearts, even the smallest sin will seem serious to us.
