God gives me the permission to commit any sin I choose.
It was his gift: free will.
Why a gift? Because without the ability to hate him, my love of God would mean nothing.
Regardless, since I accepted God's gift of salvation through Christ, I find my own sins abhorrent and wish not to commit any others. Though I shall indeed commit them, being fallen, I do not love any sin at all.
I don't refrain from sinning when I can because I am restrained. I refrain from sinning when I can because I love truth. That is, it is not a sacrifice for me not to sin. It is a blessing.

The first thing that someone should be considering is whether the idea of sin is actually real.
If God is supposed to be perfect how could She have made anything or anyone that wasn't.
Think about it. The idea of sin assumes certain things about God that seem highly unlikely.
All this talk about sin sounds like a bunch of nonsense to me.
First it assumes a God who is too incompetent to organize a simple educational field excursion and figure out a way to get all of the students home safely.
How likely is this that God would not be smart enough to come up with a plan for our salvation that is going to work?
It also assumes that God must have created us imperfect if we are sinners.
One might assume that God would be able to create someone perfect each and every time if he chose to. Assuming God is capable of this, then it follows logically that we must be perfect creations if we are actually creations of this perfect God.
Unless of course you are saying that God chose to create us imperfect.
If God created us imperfect then anything that may go wrong is Gods fault, not ours. This seems a bit illogical at best so I think that we need to assume that What God creates would have to be perfect.
If this is the case and Gods creations are perfect, then nothing that we can do could change what God created perfect and make it imperfect unless we think that we are more powerful than God is.
How likely is it that we the creation could be more powerful than the creator. I personally find this idea somewhat amusing, and a bit absurd.
Religion tells us that God is perfect. If this is true then it could hardly be logically for Gods creations to be considered to be anything less than perfect.
If this is the case then Nothing that we can ever do could possibly change this perfection that God willed, unless we were so powerful that our choices could override and change the will of God.
How likely is that????
Think about it.
The idea of sin is simple nonsense; a lie made up about God by religion.

Although your question is not valid as Allah (or God) won't do a non-reasonable thing, I'll answer you.
If this happened, I wouldn't do the sin because when I don't do a sin, my reason for this is that I like not to make something that Allah has forbidden in general as Allah when forbids something, He knows it's harmful and bad for me or for Mankind as a whole not to prove His authority over me.
Besides, a sin has a side effect which is taking me away of Allah, just like that a good action will reduce the distance between me and Him (of course I'm not talking about the real distance, but about that emotional barrier between a sinner and the God).

I think I already spent my share - not that I'm an evil person or anything, but all of us tend to loose our temper or tell lies at times. I would pass and ask forgiveness for the ones I have already commited.

None of them as I have the ability to and to be forgiven but what I lack is the desire to do so puposely. I am more concerned with pleasing Him than I am with punishment.
