Virtue and Sin

SUMMARY: Virtue is noble behaviour and sin is that which creates doubt and one does not want others to know about it.

Nawwas bin Sam'an (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I asked Messenger of Allah about virtue and sin, and he said, "Virtue is noble behaviour, and sin is that which creates doubt and you do not like people to know about it". Muslim.
وعن النواس بن سمعان رضي الله عنه قال‏:‏ سألت رسول الله عن البر والإثم فقال‏:‏ “البر حسن الخلق، والإثم‏:‏ ما حاك في نفسك وكرهت أن يطلع عليه الناس” ‏(‏‏(‏رواه مسلم‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains the difference between virtue and sin. Virtue is defined as noble behaviour, which means doing good deeds, being kind to others, helping those in need, etc. On the other hand, sin is something that creates doubt in one's mind or something that one would not want others to know about it. It could be anything from lying to stealing or even hurting someone else's feelings. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us that we should strive for virtue in our lives by doing good deeds and avoiding any actions that could lead us into sinning against Allah SWT.
