Protecting the Spiritual Light (Noor) of the Heart by Abstaining from Sins

Sermon highlights the importance of protecting the heart's spiritual light (noor) accumulated through good deeds.
Noor is likened to cool air in an air-conditioned room (the heart).
Sins (looking at haram, listening to haram, speaking haram, using limbs in haram) are like opening the windows.
Opening these "windows" causes the accumulated noor to escape, leaving the heart empty.
This emptiness leads to a lack of inner happiness and spiritual contentment despite performing good deeds.
One cannot please both Allah and one's lower self/Shaytan simultaneously.
Abstaining from sins is crucial for preserving and increasing spiritual light.
Sins not only damage one's spiritual state but also negatively impact physical and mental health.
The word "haram" itself implies "harm" for us.
Even minor sins can diminish or erase the spiritual light gained from worship.
Seeking Allah's help is essential to avoid sins, acknowledging one's inherent weakness.
