Unmodern Aspects of Islam (46): Overexposure of Sin

 

Unmodern Aspects of Islam

Did you know the Prophet ﷺ warned that “All of my ummah will be forgiven except those who commit sins openly”? (Sahih al-Bukhari, 6069; Sahih Muslim, 2990).

Today, people not only sin—they broadcast it, celebrate it, and turn it into content.

Modern culture normalizes disobedience by making it entertainment. The more sin is shared, the less the heart feels shame—and without shame, repentance becomes harder.

Islam teaches the opposite: conceal your sins, seek forgiveness, and protect your dignity. Allah loves those who turn back to Him in repentance. The early Muslims wept over their mistakes in private, never boasting about them, because they knew humility invites mercy.

To boast of sin is to harden the heart. To repent from sin is to soften it and bring it closer to Allah.

In a world obsessed with exposure, Islam restores the beauty of modesty, humility, and turning back in secret to the One who forgives all.

In a modern world, the Sunnah is our way back to what truly matters.
