Sins have worldly effects because their contradiction with divine commands leads to social and individual problems.
The Holy Quran addresses the sins and their effects on human life. One reason for the worldly effects of sins is the contradiction between these acts and the commands of Allah. In Surah Al-Imran, verse 185, it states, 'Every soul will taste death. And you will be paid your compensation on the Day of Resurrection.' This verse indicates that human actions in this world will lead to rewards or punishments in the Hereafter, but it does not mean that sins do not have worldly effects. For instance, in Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 81, it is said, 'Yes. Whoever earns an evil deed and his sin has encompassed him, they are the companions of the Fire; they will abide therein eternally.' This verse showcases that sins can cause individuals to suffer worldly punishments. From a psychological perspective, sins can lead to mental and emotional stress for individuals, ultimately resulting in physical and social problems. Furthermore, failure to adhere to divine limits in society can result in corruption, decay, and social disintegration. Therefore, many scholars stress that avoiding sins is not only crucial for the Hereafter but is also essential for improving people's worldly conditions.

One day, a young man named Hossein gathered with his friends and they talked about life. In the midst of the conversations, Hossein recalled the small and big sins he might commit in his daily life, and this deeply worried him. He decided to stay away from sins and realized that as a result, his life would be filled with peace and prosperity. After some time, he noticed fewer sins in his life and wanted to teach others how to avoid their own mistakes.
