SHAFAQNA – One of the cases which cause a believing human being to be inflicted with cruelty of the heart is the case of committing sins; great numbers of sins and insisting on committing sins. This leads to a complete change of behaviour of the human being, and forces which are mercy of God and are placed in the heart of the human being face decline and darkness, and the whole heart will be covered with darkness of sins. The human being moves away from sympathy and compassion, and naturally the soul adopts an indifferent attitude towards calamities which are inflicted to his/her own brothers in religion [1].
