Peace Upon You And Allah's Mercy And His Forgiveness
We Are Going To Talk About
The Major Sins
Major sins are defined as what is forbidden by Allah and His Messenger in the Qur'an and the Sunnah
in addition to what is narrated on the authority of early Muslims. Allah, the Most high, promises whoever avoids the major sins to expiate his minor sins.
1- الشرك بالله
The First One Is Ascribing Associates To Allah, the Most High (Shirk)
The worst major sin is Shirk. It is of two kinds:
a) To hold that Allah has an equal, whereas He has created you, and to worship another with Him, whether
it be a stone, tree, sun, moon, prophet, sheikh, star, angel or other. This is the greatest shirk mentioned by
Allah, the Most High, the Almighty, says,
{Allah forgiveth not (the sin of) joining other gods with Him; but He forgiveth whom He pleaseth other sins than this; one who joins other gods with Allah hath strayed far, far away (from the right).}
(An-Nisa:l16)
b) Ostentation
Allah, the Most High, says,
{Whoever expects to meet his Lord, let him work righteous, and, in the worship of his Lord, admit no one as partner.} (AL-Kahf:llO)

Peace Upon You All
The Second Major Sin Is
2) Killing A Human Being
Allah, the Almighty, says,
{If a man kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell, to abide therein (for ever); and the wrath and curse of Allah are upon him, and a dreadful chastisement is prepared for him.} (An-Nisa:93)
{Those who invoke not,with Allah,any other god,nor slay such life as Allah has made sacred,except for just cause,nor commit fornication,and any that does this(not only) meets punishment.} (Al-Furqan:68)
{On that account:We ordained for the children of Israel that if anyone slew a person-unless it be for murder 'or for spreading mischief in the land-it would be as if he slew the whole people.}(AI- Ma'ida:32 )
The Prophet (pbuh) said,
"Avoid the seven heinous sins."
And he mentioned taking one's life which Allah has made sacred except in the course of justice.
It was related that someone asked theProphet (pbuh), "What is the most heinous sin in the sight of Allah?" The Prophet replied, "To hold that Allah has an equal whereas He has created you." .The man asked, "What else?" The Prophet said, "To kill your child lest he feeds with you." The man asked, "What else?" He said, "To commit adultery with your neighbor's wife.”
Therefore, Allah, the Almighty,revealed,
{Those who invoke not,with Allah, any other god, nor slay such life as Allah has made sacred,except for just cause,nor commit fornication,and any that does this(not only) meets punishment.}(Al-Furqan:68)
3- السحر
3) Sorcery
Sorcery is a major sin because the sorcerer must necessarily disbelieve and the accursed Devil has no other motive for teaching a person witchcraft than that he might thereby ascribe associatesto Allah.
Allah, the Almighty, says,
{Solomon did not disbelieve but Satan disbelieved, teaching men magic, and such things as came down at Babylon to the angels Harut and Marut.But neither of these taught anyone (such things) without saying,'We are only for trial,' so do not blaspheme.'They learned from them the means to sow discord between man and wife.But they could not harm anyone except by Allah's permission. And they learned what harmed them, not what profited them. And they knew that the buyers of (magic) would have no share in the happiness of the Hereafter.} (AI- Baqarah: 102)
Thus, you might find some people who are astray delving in learning sorcery and thinking that it is just unlawful. Actually, they do not consider what they do as disbelief, but it is! They embark on learning all kinds of sorcery: Pure sorcery, increasing or decreasing the love between a man
and a woman, making a man important and the like. All of these practices are done by means of some unknown words, most of which lead to unbelief
The penalty for a sorcerer is to be killed. This is because he is an unbeliever. The Prophet
(pbuh) said,
"Avoid the seven heinous sins.”And he mentioned sorcery. "The penalty for a sorcerer is the sword.”
Bijalah Ibn Abah related, 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came to us one year before his
death and said, "Kill every sorcerer (male or female).”
Wahb Ibn Munabbih said, "I read in a book: 'Allah the Almighty says, 'There is no god but Me. He is not of Me who practices sorcery, or asks someone to practice with him. The one who foretells or the foretold, the one who seeks an omen or for whom an omen is sought.”
Ali Ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) said, A for tuneteller is a sorcerer, a sorcerer is a disbeliever." Abu Musa AI-Ashari, may Allah be pleased with him, related that the Prophet (pbuh) said "The drunkard, the one who severs the ties of kinship, and whoever believes in sorcery will not enter Paradise.”
Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) related that the Prophet (pbuh) said, "Incantations, amulets and spells are Shirk (polytheism).”
These are treated as Shirk because the ignorant believes that these things can affect what has been
predetermined by Allah. However, AIKhattabi said, "Incantations or healing words are permitted if they
consist of the Qur'an or the Most Beautiful Names of Allah."
The Prophet (pbuh) used to make Ruqya (incantate) for AI-Hasan and AlHusain by saying, "I seek refuge for you in Allah's Perfect Words from every Devil, beast or envious .
4- ترك الصلاة
) Not Performing the Prayer
Allah,the Almighty, says,
{But after them there followed a posterity who missed Prayers and followed after lusts soon, then, will they face destruction, except those who repent and believe, and work righteousness.} (Maryam: 59-60)
Commenting on the above verses (Ayat), Ibn 'Abbas said,
"Allah's statement, "Who missed Prayers does not
mean that they did not perform it at all but rather they did not perform it in its due time.”
Sa'id Ibn AI-Mussaiyyib, Imam of the Tabi'een (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "It is he who
postpones the Dhuhr (Early Afternoon Prayer) until the time of Asr Prayer (Late Afternoon Prayer) and so are Maghrib (Sunset Prayer) until' /sha' (Evening Prayer), /sha until Fajr (Dawn Prayer) and Fajr until the sun rises. If someone dies persisting in such habits and does not repent to Allah, Allah promises to make him face Ghayy (destruction). But Ghayy may also be the name of a valley in the Hell whose bottom is so deep and tastes so bitter.
Allah, the Almighty, says, {So woe to the worshipers who are neglectful of their Prayer.} (Ma'un: 4-5
Sa'd Ibn Abi Waqqas related, "I asked the Prophet (pbuh) about the meaning of "the worshipers who are neglectful of their Prayer.' He said, "It is the delaying of performing the Prayer in its definite time." The word (Wayl) in the Ayah may refer to severe torture or it may be the name of a valley in the Hell. Were the whole mountains of the world brought in such valley it would melt because of severe heat. This is the abode of those who are not serious in Prayer unless they repent to Allah and regret for what they have done.
Allah, the Almighty, says,
{O ye who believe! Let not your riches or your children divert you from the remembrance of Allah, if any act thus, surely they are the losers.} (AI-Munafiqun: 9)
The exegetes said, "The remembrance of Allah in the above Ayah means the five daily Prayers.
Therefore, whoever preoccupies himself with his property, trade, livelihood or children rather performing
Prayer in its definite time will be a loser.
The Prophet (pbuh) said, "The first of one's works that he shall be called to account for on the Day of Judgment is the Prayer. If he performed it well, he will be prosperous. Otherwise, he will be loser.
The Prophet (pbuh) said,
"The covenant between us and them consists of the Prayer:Whoever leaves it has disbelieved.”
It was related that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said,
"Between a man and unbelief is the nonperformance of the Prayer.”
"Whoever neglects the Prayer of 'Asr (Late Afternoon Prayer) will have his deeds vain.”
"Whoever neglects the Prayer intentionally will be free from Allah's covenant.”
"I have been commanded to fight people until they testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammed is the Messenger of Allah and perform the Prayer, and pay Zakah. If they say it, they have saved their blood and possessions from me, except for the right of Islam over them, and their final reckoning is with Allah.”
"Whoever keeps on performing Prayers (in its due time), it will be a light, a proof and redemption for him
on the Day of Judgment. Otherwise, he will be assembled with Pharaoh, Qarun Haman and 'Ubai Ibn
Khalaf .”
'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said,
"Whoever neglects the Prayer is beyond the pole of Islam.”
One of the scholars of sacred knowledge said, "He (the one who neglects the Prayer) will be assembled with these four people because he is either preoccupied from performing Prayer by property,kingdom,ministry or trade. If he is preoccupied by wealth, he will be assembled with Qarun. If by kingdom, he will be with Pharaoh. If by ministry,he will be with Haman and if by trade, he will be with Ubai Ibn Khalaf." Mu'adh Ibn Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) related that the Prophet (pbuh) said'Umar Ibn Al-Khattab said, "A man came to the Messenger of Allah and asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what are most beloved deeds to Allah in Islam?" The Messenger said, "To perform Prayers on time, and whoever neglect Prayers has no religion. Prayers are the pillar of Islam.,
5- منع الزكاة
5) Not Paying Zakat
Allah, The Almighty , says,
{And let not those who covetously withhold of the gifts which Allah hath given them of His Grace,think that it is good for them:Nay,it will be the worse for them:Soon it will be tied to their necks like a twisted caller, on the Day of Judgment. To Allah belongs the heritage of the heavens and the earth. And Allah is Well-Acquainted with all that ye do.} (AI-Imran: 180)
The Qur'an also states, {And woe to those who pay not Zakat and who even deny the Hereafter. For those who believe and work deeds of righteousness is a reward that will never fail.} (Fussilat: 6-7)
Allah, the Almighty, says,
{And there are those who hoard gold and silver and spend it not in the way of Allah: announce unto them a most grievous chastisement. On the Day when it will be heated in the Fire of Hell, and with it will be branded their foreheads, their flanks, and their backs. This is the (treasure) which ye hoarded for yourselves: taste ye, then, the (treasures) ye hoarded.} (At- Tawbah: 34-35)
The Prophet (pbuh) said,
"A wealthy person who has got gold and silver,but does not pay the Zakat due on the same,(should know that) his gold and silver will be melted on the Day of Judgment and Converted into slabs which will then be heated in the fire of Hell, and then has sides,his forehead,and his back will be branded therewith. When these slabs will get cold,they will be heated up once more in the furnace of the Hell, the branding will be continued throughout the day,the duration of which will be equal to fifty thousand years,and the cases of all the people will have been decided by this time and they will be shown their way either to the Hell or to Paradise.”
It was related that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said,
"There are three people who will enter the Fire: An oppressive leader, a wealthy person who does not pay
Allah's right from his wealth and a proud poor.”
Ibn ' Abbas, (may Allah be pleased with him), said, "Whoever has enough property to make pilgrimage or to pay Zakat but he does not will ask Allah to return (to this world) when dying."Someone said,"Ibn'Abbas, fear Allah, No one asks for return but the unbelievers." Then Ibn ' Abbas read Allah's saying,{And spend something(in charity) out of the substance which We have bestowed on you, before death should come to any of you and he should say, ' O my Lord! Why didst thou not give me respite for a little while I should then have given (largely) in charity,and I should have been one of the doers of good. (Al-Munafiqun: 10)
There is no Zakat on (gold or silver) jewelry that is for permissible use, but if it is prepared for uses of renting or as an article which is pennanent acquisition then Zakat is obligatory. Zakat is also obligatory for trade.
Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, related that the Prophet (pbuh) said, "Whoever is made wealthy by Allah and does not pay the Zakat of his wealth will be made like a bald-headed poisonous male snake with two black spots over its eyes. The snake will encircle his neck and bite his cheeks and say, "I am your treasure " Then he recited the following verse, {And definitely let not the ones who are miserly with what Allah has given them,' no indeed, it is an evil (thing) for them. They shall have annulated (about their necks) whatever they were miserly with, on the Day of Resurrection and to Allah is the inheritance of the heavens and the earth,' and Allah is Ever Cognizant of whatsoever you do} (AI-Imran: 180)
In his commentary on Allah's saying
{On the Day when it will be heated in the fire of Hell, and with it will be branded their foreheads, their
flanks, and their backs, -This is the (treasures) which ye hoarded for yourselves: taste ye, then the
treasures) ye hoarded} (Al- Tawbah: 35)
6- ترك الصيام
Breaking One's Fast During Ramadan Without An Excuse
Allah, the Most High, says,
{O ye who believe!Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you, that ye may(learn)self restraint. (Fasting)for a fixed number of days,' but if any of you is ill, or on a journey,the prescribed number (should be made up) from days later.} (AI-Baqarah: 183-184)
The Prophet (pbuh) said,"Islam is built upon five pillars: Testifying that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, performing prayers, paying Zakat, making pilgrimage and fasting in Ramada.”
It was related that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said;
"Whoever breaks a fast during Ramadan" without an excuse or illness could not requite it by fasting a lifetime, were he to do so.”
Ibn 'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, said; "Principles of Islam are three: testifying that there is no
god but Allah, prayers and fasting in Ramadan. Whoever misses anyone of them has disbelieved.”
We seek Allah's refuge from them.
7- ترك اداء فريضة الحج
Not performing hajj when able to
Allah, the Most High, says, {Pilgrimage thereto is a duty, men owe to Allah those who can afford the journey; but if any deny faith, Allah stands not in need of any of his creatures.} (Al-Umran: 97)
The Prophet (pbuh) said, "Whoever can afford this journey to the sacred House,by provision and transportation and he does not make the pilgrimage,there is no blame if he dies as a Jew or a Christian. This is because Allah says,"Pilgrimage thereto is a duty men owe to Allah -those who can afford the journey.”
'Umar Ibn Al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, said, "I have considered sending men to these cities to see who has not made the pilgrimage, and collect the non-Muslim poll tax (Jizya) from everyone possessing the means who has not performed it. They are not Muslims."
Ibn ' Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, said, "Whoever does not make pilgrimage or pay Zakat will ask to be returned to life when dying.” Someone said, "No one asks to be returned except the unbelievers." He said, "Allah, the Almighty, says, {And spend something (in charity) out of the substance which we have bestowed on you, before death should come to any of you and he should say: 0 my Lord! Why didst thou no give me respite for a little while I should then have given (largely) in charity, and I should have been one of the doers of good.} (Al-Munafiqun: 10)
i.e., I should have made pilgrimage.
Allah Most High says,
{But to no soul will God grant respite when the time appointed for it has come.}
It was asked, "In what amount is Zakat obligatory?" He answered; "Two hundred Dirhams and the equivalent amount if it is gold." Someone asked, "What about pilgrimage?" He said, "Provision and transportation."
Sa'id Ibn Jubair said, "If I have a wealthy neighbor who died without making pilgrimage, I would never pray over him
