Miscellaneous Benefits from Antwerp, Belgium

🇧🇪 Benefit 2: Sins Remove Blessings In addition to the scheduled lectures on the itinerary, there were several brief but impactful reminders shared throughout the Dawrah. Although not all of them were recorded, those present undoubtedly benefited from them. For instance, Abu Nooh Al-Faransi (ḥafidhahullāh) mentioned in his farewell reminder (paraphrased): “Sins remove blessings! Although our father Ādam عليه السلام repented for eating from the forbidden tree—and his repentance was accepted—he was expelled from Paradise and not permitted to return. This shows that sins take away blessings, even when one repents afterward.” Another example was the hadith shared by Hamza As-Somali (ḥafidhahullāh) in his reminder: ((ما توادَّ اثنانِ في اللهِ فيُفَرَّقُ بينهما إلَّا بذنْبٍ يُحْدِثُهُ أحدُهما)) “No two people who love one another for the sake of Allāh are ever separated, except because of a sin committed by one of them.” Even if repentance follows, the effect of that sin may still cause lasting harm—the bond may not fully return to how it once was.
