السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته

Most sins are caused due to lack of knowledge and ignorance, so i thought it benefit to begin this thread with what is a sin? whether minor or major, many of us are under the impression that we will only be severly punished for major sins and not minor ones, this incorrect thought automatically makes all our minor sins major. please add anything regarded as a sin to this thread. جزاك الله خيرا

- to laugh at someone belitting her/him

- to taunt someone

- to call a person by a offensive and insulting name

- to think of evil others without sharee proof

Assalamualaikum.w.w.

after viewing the horrific pictures of the grave whether they be genuine or not,

i thought it worthwhile to add the following sin, regards to music:

- music makes a person a hypocrite

- a hypocrite will burn in hell forever

- it causes the wrath of Allah s.w.t. to descend on earth (calamities)

- by listening to music a person loses his/her self respect and modesty

- a person loses his/her sense of shame, hence feels no regret over sinning

MAY ALLAH S.W.T. PROTECT US

The following is a major sin

- Being disrespectful towards elders.

harm of sins cause disasters on earth i.e. wind, water, grain, fruit etc. to diminish. It can thus be concluded that the lack of barakat which is happening daily is the result of our sins.

-
To draw/depict a picture of an animate object (something having life)

- To beg, inspite of being healthy

- Shaving of the beard or shortening of it to less than the length of one fist.

- To adopt the dress/lifestyle of a sinner (contrary to shariah)

- To commit fornication (adultery)

BY COMMITTING SINS, ONE BECOMES ATTRACTED TO THE WORLD AND DISLIKES THE HEREAFTER WHICH CAUSES ONE TO BECOME HEAVILY INVOLVED IN WORLDY MATTERS.

Hence issues concerning the hereafter are disregarded.

- to steal

- to give false evidence

- to usurp the wealth of orphans

- to refrain from giving zakat, (this causes rain to decrease)

- when unjust judgements are made and promises broken, enemies are given authority over us

BENEFITS OF VIRTUE: hidden glad tidings are given on obedience e.g. good dreams. Thus the love and good thoughts of Allah s.w.t. increase, by which the taufeeq of doing more good deeds take place.

HARMS OF SINNING: shame and modesty is lost, thus sins are committed openly and one is distanced from the mercy and forgiveness of Allah s.w.t.

MORE MAJOR SINS THAT HOLD SEVERE PUNISHMENT:

- TO GIVE A BRIBE

- TO TAKE A BRIBE

- TO DRINK ALCOHOL OR ANY OTHER INTOXICANT I.E. DRUGS ETC.

- TO PRODUCE, SELL, BUY, CONSUME ALCOHOL, DRUGS

HARMS OF SINNING: By sinning Allah سبحانه وتعالى places anger in the hearts of rulers, they then punish their subjects severely. Also due to sinning even ones praisers start speaking evil of one because of their disobedience to Allah سبحانه وتعالى i.e. ones love leaves the hearts of people.

BENEFITS OF OBEDIENCE: The Pulsiraat (bridge of Jahannam) in the hereafter is the visible form of the Siraat-e-Mustaqeem (straight path) of this world. So that a person who remained steadfast on the straight path in this world will pass over the straight path (Siraat-e- Mustaqeem) correctly and safely. IF YOU DESIRE TO CROSS THE PULSIRAAT AT THE SPEED OF LIGHTENING, THEN ADHERE STRICTLY TO THE SHARIAH.

THE AFFECTS OF BACKBITING


First and foremost, backbiting gives rise to various evils, both in this world and the next. Unfortunately, today most of us are addicted to it. The simplest way to avoid backbiting is not to discuss the character or personality of any person unless one is compelled to do so by dire necessity i.e. one should neither praise nor disparage anyone needlessly. One should rather keep oneself busy in one's own affairs. If at all we feel inclined to talk ill of someone, better to talk about ourselves. If we try to fulfil our own obligations conscientiously there will be little time left for idle talk or backbiting.

One of the afflictions caused due to committing sins is that weakness is experienced by the sinner; his/her heart becomes weak. The weakness of the heart is that the ability to do virtuous deeds gradually decreases until it diminishes completely. Due to the weakness of the heart the body also becomes weak.
