To avoid minor sins, we should remember God and benefit from the reminders of others.
The Holy Quran emphasizes the importance of avoiding sins, even minor ones, just as much as major ones. In Surah Al-An'am, verse 160, it states: 'Whoever brings a good deed will have ten times as much, and whoever brings an evil deed will not be recompensed except similarly; and they will not be wronged.' This illustrates that one should take even the smallest errors seriously. The Quran also advises us to remember Allah, as mentioned in Surah Adh-Dhariyat, verse 55: 'So remind, if the reminder should benefit.' This indicates that reminders and advice from others can help us avert our mistakes. Continuous study of the Quran and supplication can empower us to refrain from sins, both great and trivial. Moreover, performing non-obligatory prayers, like the night prayer and optional fasting, encourages believers to lean toward goodness and steer clear of sin.
Whoever brings a good deed will have ten times as much, and whoever brings an evil deed will not be recompensed except similarly; and they will not be wronged.
So remind, if the reminder should benefit.
