Secret sins have unfortunate consequences and we will be held accountable on the Day of Judgment.
In the Holy Quran, there is a significant emphasis on the consequences of sins, even those that are committed secretly. In Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 81, it is mentioned: "Indeed, those who have earned an evil deed and their sin has encompassed them - they are the companions of the Fire; they will abide therein eternally." This verse indicates that if someone commits a sin and disregards its ramifications, an unfortunate fate awaits them. Surah Al-An'am, verse 120, also states: "And establish prayer, for indeed, prayer prohibits immorality and wrongdoing," which highlights that engaging in secret sins can have detrimental effects on an individual’s spiritual and moral life. Moreover, Surah Al-Mu’minun, verse 14 points out that people will be questioned about what they concealed in the Hereafter. In essence, an individual will not gain anything from secret sins, and all their actions will be revealed. Therefore, in Islamic jurisprudence, secret sins also have their consequences and one must avoid them.
Indeed, those who have earned an evil deed and their sin has encompassed them - they are the companions of the Fire; they will abide therein eternally.
And establish prayer, for indeed, prayer prohibits immorality and wrongdoing.
And we will gather them on the Day of Judgment with what they had concealed.
Once upon a time, a man named Hassan decided to do his deeds secretly, thinking that keeping them hidden from others would help him avoid the consequences of his actions. However, as time passed, he felt a heaviness and unrest in his heart. Hassan recalled the verses of the Quran and eventually decided to steer clear from his wrongdoings and move towards light and guidance. He realized that innocence and honesty are always the best path, and the righteous always triumph.
