Surah Al-An'am (6:120)

وَذَرُوۡا ظَاهِرَ الۡاِثۡمِ وَبَاطِنَهٗؕ اِنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ یَکْسِبُوۡنَ الۡاِثۡمَ سَيُجۡزَوۡنَ بِمَا كَانُوۡا يَقۡتَرِفُوۡنَ‏ ۝

Watharoo thahiraal-ithmi wabatinahu inna allatheena yaksiboonaal-ithma sayujzawna bima kanoo yaqtarifoon

And leave i.e., desist from what is apparent of sin and what is concealed thereof. Indeed, those who earn blame for sin will be recompensed for that which they used to commit.

Theme of the Ayat

The Warning Against Sins: Avoiding all sins, both apparent and hidden, leads to accountability.

The Insight

Believers are commanded to abandon all sins, whether apparent or hidden, as all will be fully accounted for. **Practice total moral cleanliness.** Be vigilant over both your public actions (apparent sins) and your private thoughts and intentions (hidden sins). Sincerity requires guarding both.
