Dear questioner, Master Ali Saei
Tracking code: #Q-3611

Hello, teacher. When does a person reach the point of avoiding sin when God says, “Do not sin,” and fulfilling their obligations and doing good deeds when God commands it? Please explain this a little. Thank you.
َّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحيمِ

Subject category: Ethics and Spirituality

The essence and first answer at a glance (60-word summary)

It is self-evident that a person should reach the point of avoiding sin and fulfilling their obligations simply because God has commanded it; the question is therefore unclear. Obeying God’s commands is one of the first principles of the path of servitude.

The question is ambiguous, since the need to act and to perform righteous deeds is self-evident.
