The More One Obeys the More He is Guided

Shaikh Uthaimeen, may Allaah have mercy on him said, “The more a person sticks to Allaah’s Legislation the more He, the Most High, will guide him, due to His Saying, ‘And He guides them to a Straight Path.’ [5:16]  So sins are a cause for deviation and obedience and submission are a cause for guidance.”
