Hating sins is essential. Sufiyan-ibn-Uyana (RA) mentions that I have been informed (about a hadith through a chain of narrations) of an incident when Allah ST commanded an angel to destroy a village because the people of the village had strayed far off from the path of Allah ST. The angel enquired if he was supposed to destroy a village where one great pious man lived - one who spent all the time in following the commandments of Allah ST. At this, Allah ST replied back to the the angel that when he starts delivering the punishment, start with that pious man! Allah ST added that this pious man would see sins being committed in the village and yet never frowned on the sins! No lines of concerns and disgust formed on his forehead! He was very nonchalant about the sins amongst which he was dwelling. Thus, start the punishment with him! This is the reason why it is important to hate the sins that are being committed in the society. It is also our responsibility to inform others of sins they might be indulging in! It is not our duty to stop them by force! Deliver what you know - it is up to the person to accept/reject the information. May Allah guide us to the right path!
