A scholar of the early Muslims spent time in prison, and he knew exactly why. Forty years earlier, he'd insulted someone with a single word, and he traced his own hardship straight back to that moment.

From a hadith describing a black spot that appears on the heart with every sin, to a hafiz who forgot the entire Qur'an except one verse, to the red and orange skies that covered Toronto this July, this khutbah moves through what actually happens when a person sins, and why the effects never simply stay in the past.

In this khutbah, Sh. Ibrahim Hindy examines the consequences of sin: how it clouds the heart, how it steals knowledge, how it drains the sweetness from what's halal, and why istighfar (seeking forgiveness) is the only thing strong enough to undo it.
