Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Two men among the Children of Israel were opposite of each other. One of them was a sinner and the other would strive in worship. The one who strove would see the one sinning and would tell him to stop. One day he found him sinning so he said, “Stop!” The sinner said, “Leave me alone, by my Lord. Have you been sent as a watchman over me?” The worshiper said, “By Allah, Allah will not forgive you or enter you into Paradise.” Later their souls were taken and they met in the presence of the Lord of the Worlds. Allah said to the one who strove, “Did you have knowledge of Me? Or did you have power over what is in My Hand?” He said to the sinner, “Enter Paradise by My Mercy.” And He said to the worshiper, “Take him to the Hellfire.” Abu Huraira said, “By the one in whose Hand is my life, he spoke a word which ruined him in this world and the Hereafter.”

"It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces Towards east or West; but it is righteousness to believe in God and the Last Day, and the Angels, and the Book, and the Messengers; to spend of your substance, out of love for Him, for your kin, for orphans, for the needy, for the wayfarer, for those who ask, and for the ransom of slaves; to be steadfast in prayer, and practice regular charity; to fulfill the contracts which ye have made; and to be firm and patient, in pain (or suffering) and adversity, and throughout all periods of panic. Such are the people of truth, the God-fearing." – Qur’an English Translation [2:177]

Jabir ibn Abdullah reported: Two young men were fighting, one from the Muhajireen and one from the Ansar. The Muhajir called out, “O Muhajireen!” and the Ansari called out, “O Ansar!” The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, came out and he said, “What is this call of the people of ignorance?” They said, “O Messenger of Allah, it is nothing but two young men fighting and one hit the other from behind.” The Prophet said, “It does not matter. Let a man help his brother whether he is wrong or being wronged. If he is oppressing others, then stop him for that is helping him. If he is being oppressed, then help him.”

Anas ibn Malik reported: I saw the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, during the afternoon prayer and the people were asking for water to perform ablution but they could not find it. Some water was brought to the Messenger of Allah and he placed his hand in the vessel and ordered people to perform ablution. I saw water sprouting from his fingers and the people performed ablution until even the last person could do it.

Hudhaifa reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Verily, I fear for you that a man will recite the Quran until his delight is seen and he takes Islam as a cloak. Then, he changes to whatever Allah wills for him, such that it is stripped from him and he throws it behind his back, assaulting his neighbor with the sword and accusing him of idolatry.” I said, “O Prophet of Allah, which one is closer to idolatry? The accused or the accuser?” The Prophet said, “Rather it is the accuser.”

44 صحيح البخاري كِتَاب الْإِيمَانِ لا يؤمن أحدكم حتى أكون أحب إليه من والده وولده

Yasir Qadhi wrote on his Facebook page
'To sin is human, but to justify your sins is satanic!

When Allah asked Iblis "What prevented you from prostrating when I commanded you?", Iblis responded by justifying his disobedience to Allah "I am better than him. You created me from fire and created him from clay."
And when Adam ate from the tree, he said, "O my Lord! I have wronged myself, and if you do not forgive us and have mercy on us we shall be from those who are destroyed."

No matter what sin you are struggling with, acknowledge your own weakness and turn to Allah for help and forgiveness, as your father Adam did. But never try to justify your sins, for then you truly would be following the path of the accursed one, Shaytan.'
