1. When a person commits a sin, he displeases Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, his Creator, Who has full control over him all the time.
2. He pleases the one who is the most cursed one in the court of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ i.e. Satan; who is not only his enemy but also enemy of Allah.
3. He distances himself from the excellent place i.e. Paradise.
4. He draws close to a very terrible place i.e. Hell.
5. Though he loves his own self deeply but treats it cruelly indirectly by committing the sin.
6. He makes himself impure whereas Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ had created him pure.
7. He becomes a cause of pain to his companions who never cause pain to him i.e. those angels who are deputed for his protection.
8. He makes earth, sky, day, night and Muslims witness to his sins, and hence he upsets them.
9. Through his sin, he distresses his Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.
10. He commits a sort of violation (of rights) of all the Creation of Almighty Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, whether they are human beings or any other creation. Violation of human rights is in the sense that he becomes ineligible (if someone needs him as a witness) because of his sins. Violation of rights of other creations is in the sense that rainfall is prevented from all the creation as a consequence of the sins of human beings.
Therefore a person should refrain from sinning because committing sins is self-harming. (Tażkira-tul-Wā’iẓīn, pp. 297-299)
