Hidden sins

This is a reminder for myself first and whoever else takes benefit from it.
Anythign good in it - then AlHamdulilah.
Anything bad in it - then it is from my own ignorance - may Allah forgive me.

Dear brothers and sisters,
Beware the hidden sins
those which can quickly corrupt the heart

e.g.  Rage (If we want to earn the Anger of Allah - one sure way is to get Angry with Allah's creatures, even if they wrong you - only if they wrong Allah would the prophet s.a.a.s become angry.  Similarly if we want to earn the forgiveness and mercy of Allah, then we should show forgiveness and mercy to Allah's creatures)
   Pride (Pride is Allah's cloak.  Those who wear it, Allah will lower them.  Those who lower themselves, Allah will raise them)
   Self-Righteousness (Thinking we are so good at something...e.g. thinking we are so pious or intelligent, etc.  Being pleased with yourself and praising yourself or seeking praise from others for what you've done.  There is none worthy of praise except Al-Hameed)
   Envy (do not look to those with more blessings than yourself.  instead look to those with less blessings than yourself so that you may be grateful for the blessings you are given.)
   Lust (adultery starts in the heart.  the actions simply confirm it)
   etc...
