7. GREAT SIN (GUNAH-E-KABIRA):

Murder
10.
11. 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).
12. 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)
13. The Prophet (S.A.W) said;
“Do not commit shirk with Allah, even if
you are cut into pieces, or burnt.”
(Ibn Maajah)
14. 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)
15.
16. 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.
17. 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)
18. 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)
19. 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)
20.
21. 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.
22. 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)
23. 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.”
