    Sinful thoughts?

    Report bad ads?

    I recall hearing that Allah does not punish us for sinful thoughts, just sinful actions. Does this depend on the type of sinful thought? Like, is consciously thinking something haram (that allah does not exist, lustful thoughts, etc.), the same as thinking those thoughts while trying not to?

    So for example, person A and person B:
    A thinks- God doesn't exist, or if he does he's evil and unjust, doesn't care about us, etc.
    B thinks- God doesn't exist. Oh wait, no he does, astaghfirullah.

    That sort of thing.

    So Allah does not punish us for our thoughts, but does it depend on the type of thought?

    wa alaykum asalam wa rahmatu allah wa barakatuhu!

    jazak allah khair for that link, bro.

    But what about any kind of sinful thoughts, not just in relation to Allah, but in general? Like, a man who fantasizes about a woman, for example. He is willingly thinking these thoughts, and not trying to get rid of them. Will he be held accountable for these thoughts? Or someone who fantasized about drinking alcohol, or doing drugs?

    Re: Sinful thoughts?

    Well sinful thoughts always come to our heads but we should take them out of our heads, keep our minds occupied with something else so we dont get those thoughts. I remember hearing something along the lines about a thought turning to action but I cant remember it properly or where I heard it from. :-/

    Re: Sinful thoughts?

    Ameen, may Allah reward you too, my sister!

    Repel the thought, for if you don’t, it becomes an idea. So repel the idea, for if you don’t it will become a desire. So fight against that (desire), for if you don’t, it will become a determination and a passion. And if you don’t repel that, it will become an action. And if you don’t replace it with its opposite, it will become a constant habit. So at that point, it will be difficult for you to change it.

    If I'd do something in the way you described I'd be afraid that my heart started liking sins.

    I'm browsing through Islam Q&A to see if there's something like that there...

    Re: Sinful thoughts?

    Warding off thoughts of zinaa
    what should u do if u find urself thinking abt zina

    Praise be to Allaah.
    Thinking about zinaa may mean one of two things.
    (1) It may be merely thoughts that cross the mind, without becoming a firm resolve. A person cannot be blamed for this, but it is better to rid oneself of these thoughts so that they do not lead to anything else.
    (2) It may be an established thought accompanied by resolve and intention. In this case, the person must hasten to deal with it in a number of ways, including the following:
    1- Seriously thinking of getting married, because this is the shar’i and natural protection for the Muslim man and woman.
    2- Fasting if one cannot get married.
    3- Muslim men and women should strive to strengthen their eemaan (faith) by reading Qur’aan, praying naafil prayers and doing other kinds of acts of worship.
    4- Taking care to choose righteous friends.
    5- Keeping away from everything that might provoke desire; one of the most obvious of these is looking at things which are haraam.
    6- Remembering the punishment for zinaa in this world and in the Hereafter, and that its evil affects far outweigh the immediate pleasure that a person may experience.

    Re: Sinful thoughts?

    So from the links you provided Abdu-l-Majeed, i guess it means that as long as the thoughts are not carried out into actions, the person is not considered sinful? But of course it's better to stay away from those kinds of thoughts to begin with.

    I don't really need to know for a specific reason, I'm just curious..

    If I understood you correctly, my sister, you mentioned people who willingly think about sins. And in the answer it says they must do something against that. Like I said: if I'd be in such a situation I'd be afraid of falling into sins. Because, if I willingly think about sins, then it's obvious that I like sins, and the chances to commit a sin are very big. I can't say on my own if it's haram or not, but as I said: these thoughts lead to something haram, and one should be extremely careful.

    I'm sorry if I couldn't provide you a direct answer, like I said, I was afraid to declare something haram or halal without knowledge. In sha Allah, we will search if something liket his was already answered or we will find a shaykh, in sha Allah. That's if your curiosity thirst is still there.

    Re: Sinful thoughts?

    I thought, that if someone thinks about doing a sinful deed, but doesn't he will not be sinned - and simultaneously, someone who thinks of doing a good deed, but doesn't, gets rewarded.

    I think, in that example, of momentary doubting, it will come down to intention. As, the thought itself is the deed, it would probably not come under the same category. You may have to go and ask yourself why you said such a thing etc and ask for forgiveness. It could be, showing insecurity in the belief for example.

    No worries brother, I know exactly what you mean, may allah reward you for the answers you've given though.

    SixTen- "I thought, that if someone thinks about doing a sinful deed, but doesn't he will not be sinned"

    That's true, but I'm going into detail about the specific type of thought of the sin, as in like is the person relishing and enjoying the thought of the sin, or is he ashamed of it. So ultimately my question is, are all types of thoughts the same or do they differ?

    I think I did cover that, in my 2nd sentence. That is, the thought of kufr - as this itself is a deed (to doubt), it does not get excused - as this is not a physical action, rather it is to do with faith.
