TOPIC:

GREAT SIN (GUNAH-E-KABIRA):

Sin is that aspect in a Muslim’s

life in which he or she makes

effort to abstain from at all costs.

Major sins are defined as what is

forbidden by Allah and His

Messenger in the Quran and the

Sunnah.

ALLAH SAYS:

GREAT SINS IN ISLAM

ShirkDisobedient to Parents

Murder

SHIRK

Associating false gods with the One, True God, or

adding partners in worship with Allah (God). This

is a form of Kufur (disbelief in the religion of

God), and any person who does this is not a

Muslim. A person who commits shirk is a

mushrik (polytheist).

ALLAH SAYS:

Indeed, Allah does not forgive association with Him, but He

forgives what is less than that for whom He wills. And he

who associates others with Allah has certainly fabricated

a tremendous sin.

(Al. Nisa 48)

The Prophet (S.A.W) said;

“Do not commit shirk with Allah, even if

you are cut into pieces, or burnt.”

(Ibn Maajah)

CATEGORIES OF SHIRK:

Shirk is not of one type and can be put into

different categories which each look at shirk from a

different view:

First:

A category that looks at shirk in relation to

tawheed.

Second:

A category that looks at shirk from its various

levels.

Third:

Apparent or hidden shirk. (Munafiqat)

DISOBEDIENT TO

PARENTS:

The Greater Sin is to be disobedient to one’s

parents as expressly mentioned in the traditions

from the Holy Prophet (S.A.W). A tradition of the

Prophet (S.A.W) says that the greatest sins are

Shirk and to be disobedient to one’s parents.

ALLAH, THE MOST HIGH,

SAYS:

And your Lord has decreed that you not worship except

Him, and to parents, good treatment. Whether one or both

of them reach old age [while] with you, say not to them [so

much as], "uff," and do not repel them but speak to them

a noble word.

(Al-Isra: 23)

THE PROPHET (SAW) SAID;

"Allah's satisfaction is the parent's and

His Wrath is theirs.”

(Al-Tirmidhi)

"Three supplications are surely acceptable:

the supplication of the oppressed, the

traveler and the parents against their

children.”

(Abu Dawud)

It was related that a man asked the Prophet (SAW);

"Who deserves my service most after Allah?" The Prophet

said, "Your mother." The man asked again, "And who is

next?" The Prophet said, "Your mother." The man asked

further, "Who is next?" The Prophet replied, "Your mother.”

The man asked once more, "And who is next?“ The

Prophet (SAW) said, "Your father and then the closer

kins.”

(Bukhari)

MURDER:

The unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another is called Murder.

The fifth Greater Sin is the murder of that person whose execution has not been ordered by Allah and the Holy Prophet (Saw).

One Murder is Equal to the Killing the Whole of Humanity.

ALLAH SAYS;

But whoever kills a believer intentionally - his

recompense is Hell, wherein he will abide

eternally, and Allah has become angry with him

and has cursed him and has prepared for him a

great punishment.

(Al-Nisa 93)

THE HOLY PROPHET (SAW) ANNOUNCED ON THE

OCCASION OF THE FAREWELL PILGRIMAGE

(HAJJATUL WIDA’):

“O People! It is not permitted to kill the

Muslims. Similarly to appropriate their

property is not allowed. So do not be unjust

upon yourselves and do not revert to disbelief

after my death.”
