The mercy of Allah dictates that when you do good, he multiplies it for you

0:09.4

But when you do bad, he comforts you by telling you I'm not going to multiply the bad

0:15.4

I will count it against you just one bad deed Subhanallah so Allah says

0:30.4

As for a person who comes on the day of judgment with a bad deed they will not be

to commit simply because Allah prohibited it. Amazing. So to intend and to plan a sin

1:43.2

and thereafter not to execute it becomes an act of worship. It becomes a good deed. SubhanAllah

1:51.0

look at the mercy of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala and then if a person does the bad deed

1:58.5
