Thawāb al-Aʿmāl wa ʿiqāb al-Aʿmāl - Punishments

Thawāb al-Aʿmāl wa ʿiqāb al-Aʿmāl - Punishments 1. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Musa b. al-Mutawakil who said it was narrated to me by Abdillah b. Ja’far al-Himyari from Ahmad b. Muhammad from al-Hassan b. Mahbub from Malik b. ’Atiyyah from Abi Hamzah al-Thumali from Abi Ja’far (a.s.) who said: When extra-marital sex becomes common, the number of deaths increase suddenly. When cheating increases much, Allah involves people in drought and loss.

When people stop paying Zakat, the Almighty Allah stops abundance of crops and yield from earth. When injustice spreads, people start helping each other in unjust causes and when promises are broken, Allah leaves them at the mercy of their enemies. When relations are broken, wealth is handed over to evil people.

When people are not called towards good and are not stopped from doing evil and when the virtuous among our Ahle Bait (a.s.) are not obeyed, the Almighty Allah will give their control to evil people. At that time, virtuous people will pray but their prayers will not be accepted.”
