Sins are like chains and locks preventing their perpetrator from roaming the vast garden of Tawheed and reaping the fruits of righteous actions.
Ibn TaymiyyahPerpetually is the servant either the recipient of a blessing from Allaah, in which case he is need of gratitude; or he is the perpetrator of sin, in which case he is in need of repentance; he is always moving from one blessing to another and is always is in need of repentance.
Ibn TaymiyyahVerily, I constantly renew my Islam until this very day, as up to now, I do not consider myself to have ever been a good Muslim.
