Islam recommends the spread of goodness that is compatible with human nature, and considers the evils that spoil the nature and the individual's nature as an accidental situation and forbids it. Haram is like a virus, an infectious disease that destroys both the body and the spiritual integrity of a person. An atomic amount of evil spreads rapidly, affecting a whole society and causing great damage. Master Bediuzzaman says, "Seeds bearing the traces of unbelief are hidden in every sin," and states that a person who insists on haram will become a vice against sin and evil can turn into a habit. The greatest danger is that a haram act will turn into a habit and become ordinary, so we have to take into account every particle that will pollute our hearts and clean it with repentance.
 
We are all passengers of this life and we are passing through a square where all the colors are laid out before us. We are all road-weary and we may have erred intentionally or unintentionally. As a matter of fact, our Lord has protected us with such great armor that our conscience gives the first reaction when we get dirty, then our mind takes action and directs our will. As we go through all these processes, we mature and become able to make more accurate decisions. Allah protects us and draws us to the halal axis with the trenches he has created inside and outside. However, it is strange that a person can use the freedom of will granted to him, disable his heart, conscience and will, say "nothing will happen at once" and turn haram into a habit!
 
If you do not listen to the voice of your conscience and take a step back even though you realize that you are dirty, the evil will start to pull you towards itself and you will suddenly find yourself in the swamp. If you do not heed the first signals of your conscience, you will end up in the position of a frog that is scalded in boiling water and scalded to death. You may remember that in the famous experiment on frogs, the animal, which was left in hot water, jumped out and left the environment immediately. The experimenters put the frog in cold water and started to slowly heat the bottom of the water, thus drawing the frog into the experiment. In the experiment in question, the temperature was increased little by little and the animal died horribly, not realizing that it had been boiled. Just like this, if the harams that infect our hearts are not removed and cleaned with willpower, it turns into a habit and the balance of our lives is completely turned upside down. And we unknowingly produce justifications to justify the things we vehemently avoided before, and we begin to move towards the abyss.
 
American doctor Maltz says "When a person repeats a behavior for 21 days, it becomes a habit" and emphasizes that habits are subject to repetition. What Maltz tried to prove with experiment, we practice in daily life and see the results. We should make it a routine of our lives by repeating the good deeds, and we should not let the bad ones pass. Otherwise, we may turn into a heated frog and fail to see that the path we are walking leads to the abyss.
