Looking at your statement further, I see that you said *emphasizing* the act in favor of the state of sin. When I first read it, it sounded like you were denying that we have a sinful nature, which I'm curious, what do Muslims believe about that?

I believe that our sinful nature is still sin, however, whether we act on it or not, though it is *much, much* better to not act on those evil desires (adultery, murder, etc.). My biblical support for this would Paul's discussion of the 10th commandment in Romans 7, For I would not have known what it is to covet if the law had not said, “You shall not covet.” 8But sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of covetousness." Coveting is a desire which leads to the sinful act, also related to breaking the 1st commandment, "You shall have no other gods." See James, desire > sin > death.

Also Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, where he equates anger/resentment with murder and lust with adultery.
