Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner asks: What are the matters by which a servant can be saved from sins?
Answer:
As mentioned earlier: adhering to taqwa (mindfulness of Allah), adhering to the obedience of Allah, remembering the standing before Allah, and knowing that he was created to worship Allah and obey Him. He should audit himself, and by this, Allah will help him and protect him from the evil of sins, through remembrance, monitoring Allah, and knowing that he is accountable and that he will be standing before Allah, and that this world is a place of work, not a place of play and heedlessness. If he remembers these matters and monitors Allah, Allah will help him to abandon sins and to remain steadfast in the obedience of Allah.
