The effect of having thought of transgression

There is preparedness of creation of any type of good and bad attributes in human being; likewise the possibility of having any type of habit is there. With thought and reflection in good or bad act this preparedness will change to actuality by going out of the stage of possibility to the stage of reality and actuality.

This is a general reality that is not specialized for acceptable and good work. That is just as human being is being attracted towards doing good and splendid act when he thinks of it, the same applies to thinking of doing any aggression and animalistic behavior as it will attract him towards it and made him to commit it.

In this respect the Commander of the faithful (Peace be upon him) said:

“Whoever thinks too much about committing sin is called towards it”[1]

In another statement of the commander of the faithful (peace be upon him), he said:

“Whoever thinks too much on pleasure is predominated by it”[2]

Base on this, person’s thought and reflection is able to change and bring tremendous reformation into the state of his life and with this reason in the pleasant statement of the holy infallible household of the Prophet (peace be upon them), they have regarded the value of thinking and reflection and have also advised their enamored and friends concerning its important; therefore the value of thinking and reflection are very precious in matters, in evaluation of work and behavior, likewise in the value of soul and psychology versus the body.
