With the sins of God, and do not belittle Him, the creatures?

And He pointed, Exalted be He, to this (1) in His book when mentioning the punishments of sins.

And whoever humiliates God, then what is for him from honors? For they, when they belittled the prostration to Him, and did not do it, He humiliated them, so there was not for them any of honors after He humiliated them.

And among its punishments is that it calls for the forgetting of God to His servant, and leaving him, and leaving him alone between himself and his devil. There is the destruction that no salvation is hoped for with it.

قَالَHe saidتَعَالَىthe Most High::﴿﴿يَـٰأَيُّهَاO you whoالَّذِينَbelieveءَامَنُواbelieveاتَّقُواFearاللَّهَGodوَلْتَنْظُرْAnd let each soul lookنَفْسٌwhat it has put forthمَاwhatقَدَّمَتْit has put forthلِغَدٍfor tomorrowوَاتَّقُواAnd fearاللَّهَGodإِنَّIndeedاللَّهَGodخَبِيرٌis All-Awareبِمَاof whatتَعْمَلُونَyou doوَلَاand do notتَكُونُواbeكَالَّذِينَlike those whoنَسُواforgotاللَّهَGodفَأَنسَاهُمْso He caused them to forgetأَنفُسَهُمْthemselvesأُولَـٰئِكَThoseهُمُthey areالْفَاسِقُونَthe disobedient.[[الْحَشْرِAl-Hashr//١٨18--١٩19]]

He said, the Most High: ﴿ O you who believe! Fear God, and let each soul look to what it has put forth for tomorrow, and fear God; indeed, God is All-Aware of what you do; and be not like those who forgot God, so He caused them to forget themselves; those are the disobedient ﴾ [Al-Hashr/ 18-19].

فَأَمَرَSo He commanded(٦)(6)بِتَقْوَاهُto fear Him،,وَنَهَىand He forbadeأَنْthatيَتَشَبَّهَthey resembleعِبَادَهُHis servantsالْمُؤْمِنُونَthe believersبِمَنْwith those whoنَسِيَهُforgot Himبِتَرْكِby leaving

And He commanded (6) to fear Him, and forbade that His believing servants resemble those who forgot Him by leaving.
