Ihzar Aqibat al-Dhunub (Beware the Consequence of Sins) is a contemporary Islamic admonitory treatise by the Saudi preacher and author Azhari Ahmad Mahmoud .
Overview and Theme
The treatise belongs to Mahmoud's broader corpus of concise hortatory booklets focused on spiritual rectification (raqaiq), moral exhortation, and ethical revival . The text centers on warning the believer against the spiritual and worldly perils of persistence in disobedience and sin, emphasizing the grave outcomes (awaqib) that transgressions inflict upon the human soul, heart, and faith .
Written in accessible prose directed at general Muslim readers and youth, the work urges prompt self-accounting (muhasabah) and sincere repentance (tawbah) before death, cautioning against following worldly passions (hawa) and the deceptive snares of Satan . As with Mahmoud's other published tracts—such as Ihzar Ittiba al-Hawa and Ihzar Su' al-Khatimah—the booklet draws upon Quranic verses, prophetic hadiths, and sayings of early Muslim ascetics and scholars to motivate piety and righteousness .
