Assallamualaikum Warahmatullah
Meeting with my religion teacher of my Senior High School recently, just remain me about one of his precious lessons that he taught to my class. He asked us to make a table for daily sin's and goodness' lists that we do. His order left us curiosity in our head , it was like such a silly thing."Please be honest with yourself, I won't protest if you make some sins and goodness; I will not check it, because it's only Allah and you know the truth.", he said. Then, we made a simple table and must filled everyday for a week.
I felt uncomfortable whenever checking my table, well...it was about my sins....Everyday I have sins even though only appear in my intention. To be honest, I started wrought-up when I calculated my sins appeared more, than my goodness.
"Dear myself, what you have done for more than 30years of your life "?. I know that's only the simple table but if you are believer, have you ever thought that what you had done will be asked in the judgment day...
The simple table could be your disaster if you underestimate about its content, yeach.... it's about your daily small sins, if you do it over and over , the small sins would becoming a mountain of your sins. Well, let me ask you something.... Can you see your sins list on your personal table above ? if you can't, let me explain more detail :
1.BACKBITING, It sound easy for you to do this kind of sin. So many excuses that you said in your heart , no I just want to share with my friend because she hurt me Or it's okey just intermezo,.. bla...bla.. then, you start indulge do gossiping and backbiting. If you are believer, please be aware of backbiting.
Allah SWT said in Surah ( 49 : 12 )
O you who believe! Avoid much suspicion, in deeds some suspicions are sins. And spy not neither backbite one another. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? You would hate it (so hate backbiting). And fear God, verily, God is the one who accepts repentance, Most Merciful.
2.SHOWING OFF ( Riyaa ), be honest with yourself, how many times you slip of doing this kind of sin? . Remember this is very dangerous disease of the heart. How many times you do something just want get good impression from other people? . Your praying, your fasting, your charity, or the good deeds you have done ,even your post in FB? are of those things just because of Allah? , be honest with yourself, then why if nobody like it or no comment left in your wall, you become get sad or upset ? ... Allah keep watching it, what is in your heart !. Dear myself.. just be careful with this kind of sin because Riyaa is the minor of Syirk (Associating partners to Allah ). Our Prophet Muhammad SAW said ; “Indeed the thing I fear for you the most is The minor syirk . And the companions of Prophet SAW asked ; Yaa Rosululloh, what is the minor syirk ? That's Ar-Riyaa .
Prophet Muhammad SAW also warn us about Riyaa ; It's so dangerous that's like a black ant on the black rock in the dark night with no moon. It can sneak up on you like this...
3.PRIDE, ARROGANCE and SELF ADMIRATION ( Ujub )."Subhanallah...don't you understand that kind of sin are not small sin "?.
In Qur'an Allaah, Almighty, Says (what means): “I will turn away from My Ayaat (verses of the Quran) those who behave arrogantly on the earth, without a right, and (even) if they see all the Ayaat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons signs, revelations, etc.), they will not believe in them...” [Quran; 7:146] and (what means) “... truly He likes not the proud.” [Quran; 16:23]
The Prophet said: "He who has in his heart the weight of an atom of pride shall not enter Paradise." [Muslim]
The Prophet Muhammad SAW : "And the destoyers are : desires which are followed;stinginess which is obeyed; and a man being pleased with himself, and this ( last trait ) is the worse of them ( of the things which spiritually wrought destruction to one )."
4.SUSPICIOUS towards other. Sometimes you just very negative thinking and even suspicious, you are very busy spying on other people. Look above, the ayah from Surrah Alhujurat ; 12. Doesn't make you clear that Allah SWT prohibit us to be suspicious, and it could be a string of negative thinking and spying on other and backbiting..
5.TOO MUCH DAYDREAMING . Don't you know that your time is very limited , Allah SWT give us so much chance to collect the good deeds. The delusion just invite shaitan to tempt you..
Hasan al-Basri rahimahullah ever said, "That is Shaytan lengthen their dreams and give rubbish promises for the daydreamer."
6. JEALOUS. Don't deny it, sometimes you just jealous with someone's succeed then you try comparing to yours. Don't you know that our Prophet SAW said that we are only allowed to be jealous just for two conditions ; first, the wealthy whose love to share his property with the needy , secondly, people with rich of the knowledge then he loves sharing and teaching the useful knowledge to others. So why you just jealous towards your friend because they have husband, children or car then you comparing to yourself as if you were not unlucky ...come on wake up !. You'll not find happiness if you just do like this....You'll be far from grateful to Allah..
7. MISCELLANEOUS. Perhaps you don't recognize this or you just ignore it, but you must also be aware in your heart because it would be valued correctly in judgment's day.
So whoever does an atom's weight of good will see it,And whoever does an atom's weight of evil will see it.(Q.S. 99 : 7-8 )
Dear myself.... just forget about the goodness that you've done, supposed if you calculated your sins and the goodness, it would be minus (-).... What ?..The total is nothing ? ...Yes! just realize , supposed you pray a lot, fasting everyday, do charity etc... but the reward of the good deeds should be cut because you did Riyaa, backbiting, Ujub and etc... and are you still busy finding other's sins?... Astaghfirrllah...
Instead of keep looking out other's mistake, say istighfar, Dzikr , just remember a lot about the death, then always grateful to Allah for what you have and only to Allah our heart must rely on....
Think twice before you judge other people, look at yourself inside before look at other's people mistake... Please try harder to minimize your own mistake for every 24 hours, remember your time is clicking fast, the death of angel would come to pick you up , maybe tomorrow , next year or tonight ? Have you ready to faced the death ? Astaghfirllah ... to be honest I am not ready yet...
Ooo Allah ... The Almighty ... please guide my heart to do your order , guide me to the right path ,don't let shaytan lead me astray ... Keep my heart just closer to You...

Then in one hadits, our Prophet Muhammad SAW said ; "Backbiting is harder than adultery." They asked, 'How backbiting harder than adultery, O Messenger of Allah? "He said," Verily a person has committed adultery and then he repent, Alah will forgive his sins, while those who do backbiting will not be forgiven, until a person whose the subject of backbiting forgive him.
