The Severe Effects of Sins Being Committed in the Haram Shareef

Hazrat Shaikh Moulana Muhammad Zakariyya (rahmatullahi ‘alaih) once mentioned the following:

I received a detailed letter from my close friend, Sa’dee, in which he wrote and described the heavy rains which fell on Makkah Mukarramah, and the manner in which the Haram Shareef was flooded.

You must always remember, and remind your friends and associates as well, that sins committed in the Haram Shareef are extremely severe. Hazrat Umar (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) would say, “If I commit one sin in the Haram, it will be worse than me committing seventy sins out of the Haram.”

In today’s times, the television and many other wrongs and vices are found in the Holy Cities of Makkah Mukarramah and Madinah Munawwarah (due to which these calamities are being witnessed). May Allah Ta‘ala have mercy on us!
