Lesson ninety two :Do not hope in solving problem by sin !
Imam Hossein( A. S. )said:
مَنْ حَاوَلَ أَمْرا بِمَعْصِيَةِ اللّهِ كانَ أَفْوَتُ لِما يَرجُو و اسْرَعُ لِما يَحْذِرُ
Translation
One who asks for performance of a work through disobedience to God, will lose sooner whatsoever he desires, and whatsoever he fears of will happen to him sooner..
Brief description
Some people suppose that if they use unlawful means for obtaining their goals, they will attain their ends sooner. However, above tradition says that they will lose their desires sooner and will fall into the pits which fear of them sooner. For example, he seeks tranquility from earning unlawful wealth while first of all he loses tranquility as a result of it and is involved in distress and anxiety of which he feared.
