The Quran emphasizes hidden sins and highlights the importance of repentance and rectification of these sins.
The Holy Quran discusses hidden sins in various verses. One important verse regarding this is Surah Al-An'am, verse 16, which states: 'And whoever opposes the Messenger after the guidance has become clear to him and follows other than the way of the believers, we will give him what he has taken and drive him into Hell, and evil it is as a destination.' This verse teaches us that there are sins that take place covertly, and one may think that no one knows about them. However, Allah is aware of all our actions and intentions. Another related verse is Surah Ghafir, verse 38: 'And if you ask about the foolishness of those who oppose Allah and His Messenger, know that they are in a state of delusion.' This shows that bad intentions and hidden sins not only have worldly consequences but also lead to punishment in the Hereafter. Therefore, the Quran emphasizes the importance of repentance for sins committed in secrecy. This repentance should come from the heart and genuinely reflect a return to Allah. Indeed, the Quran teaches us that no action is hidden from Allah, and thus we should always think of rectifying and improving ourselves.
And whoever opposes the Messenger after the guidance has become clear to him and follows other than the way of the believers, we will give him what he has taken and drive him into Hell, and evil it is as a destination.
And if you ask about the foolishness of those who oppose Allah and His Messenger, know that they are in a state of delusion.
One day, Ali recalled the verses of the Quran and thought about the hidden sins he committed. He asked Allah to guide him on the right path and steer him away from those sins. Ali decided to confront every sin in his heart and work towards self-improvement, filling his life with the light of faith.
