There is a fairly large list of sins. Over a lifetime, a person can make a lot of them. However, each sin is evaluated in a different degree of severity, which means that the punishment for them will be different.
Most often conditionally forbidden acts are divided into two types: large and small. The punishment for great misconduct can be very severe, even to the point of going to Hell. We will take a closer look at the 10 biggest sins in Islam, some of which are also found in Orthodoxy.
10. Suicide
The creator forbade Muslims not only to commit crimes against others, but also against themselves as well. Islam is aimed at supporting a person in difficult times of his life. Therefore, you need to lend a helping hand to those who need it and take the problems of loved ones seriously. After all, this can lead to irreversible consequences.
This is a test that must be overcome, and not give up. A person must sincerely believe and endure the burden, hoping for the mercy of the Most High.
Suicide It is considered a terrible sin also because a person does not have the right to take the life that Allah granted him. In addition, suicide also shows that a person is desperate and does not believe that God is with him and will be able to help in the most difficult moment.
9. Losing hope for forgiveness and atonement
Loss of hope it means discouragement. Such a sin is one of the most serious because it means disbelief in the love of the Most High. Man must always hope and believe that he will be pardoned, that the Creator will be merciful to him.
Awareness of one's sins is as important as an unwavering faith in the mercy of Allah. It is possible to doubt oneself, but it is unacceptable to doubt the mercy of the Most High.
8. Adultery, homosexuality, perjury
TO adultery refers to any intimate action directed not at the spouse or spouse. This refers not only to sexual intercourse, but also to kisses and even hugs. The Creator instructs not to approach this abomination and not to go the bad way.
Also considered a great sin homosexuality. This is an intimate relationship between people of the same sex. The Islamic doctrine says that the Creator curses all people who follow the path of the Prophet Loot tribe, that is, sodomy.
A faithful Muslim should not only not be caught in this act, but also has no right to give reasons for such judgments about himself. A man should be like a man, not allowing himself to female outfits, cosmetics and manners.
Perjury attributed to the same severity, but there are exceptions. Lies can be said for good purposes.
7. Defamation
You need to save your tongue from all the bad. Do not speak evil to people, but only good, so that before Allah be honest reports. When a person speaks slander, he gives his good deeds and takes away the sins of the one whom he speaks ill of.
Slander - the lowest thing, she burns all the good things. Whoever listens to the scammer also makes a big mistake. One must always seek only the truth. A serious sin is considered all actions that are aimed at the destruction of the family. It is also necessary to prevent slander against other people, and especially believers.
6. Committing unlawful actions within Mecca
This place means a lot to Muslims. Here, believers think about the greatness of the Almighty Creator, about the mortality of the world, pray for the forgiveness of sins. Committing unlawful acts is a great sin. Thus, you express disrespect and insult the Almighty.
While in Mecca you need to behave with dignity, respect, and talk about your life and the role of God in it. Profanity, high-profile disputes, conversations on indecent topics, on the phone and chatter, in principle, should not take place within the boundaries of God's house.
5. Infringement on the property of orphans
Such a vile act is considered a huge sin for a Muslim. Allah said that he who encroaches on the property of orphans and the destitute, fills his womb with fire and will forever burn with hellish flame. A fair punishment for someone who illegally seized the property of an orphan.
This fire of the punishment of the Almighty will burn the inside and the body of the living, and after death it will completely absorb the sinner. After death, according to the teachings, the perpetrator of this grave sin will arise from the grave, and his eyes, ears and nose will be enveloped in flames so that everyone can see what he did during his lifetime.
4. Escape from the battlefield
Among the many great sins, one more is mentioned - flight from the battlefield. This refers to the flight on the day of the offensive from the ranks of the Islamic army.
This sin is fraught with great evil. This leads to the fact that unbelievers will be strengthened, and those who attack will see Muslims flee from them and perk up. The only exception is the moment of a turn, the purpose of which is to transfer to another system or unit.
The situation when a warrior just needs to relax or clean his weapon is also considered separately. But in other cases, it is impossible to evade or turn away.
A Muslim must fight to the end and always be an example for his relatives, comrades in arms and co-religionists. After all, flight from the battlefield is equated with cowardice, cowardice. Each has its own share, and if Allah has prepared for you to be a participant in the hostilities, then there should be no shadow of doubt.
3. Disrespect for parents
You need to respect, honor, obey and love your parents. For some, these are just words, or a kind of recommendation, but not for a true Muslim. A great sin is considered disrespectful to parents, relatives and just the elderly.
In addition, refusal to communicate with a relative due to neglect, pride or squeamishness is also considered a sin. It must be remembered that you owe it to your parents by the very fact of your existence in the same way that you owe it to them and Allah. Listen carefully and do the will of the parents, because this will save you and your family. In addition, obedience trains humility.
2. The murder of a believer
This is one of the most serious sins in Islam. People deviate from the path that Allah showed them, and therefore this is considered a huge sin with dire consequences. This is the second most serious sin in Islam after shirk. A person who intends to kill another must know that he himself will be killed.
There are some cases when it is otherwise impossible to protect people and society as a whole from danger to their lives and from the moral corruption of religion. But the Muslim must make every effort to avoid this act. You cannot take away what does not belong to you, and the life of any person is granted by the Almighty and only he has the right to dispose of it.
1. Polytheism, idolatry
God is one and this is law and truth, which should not be questioned for even a second. There is nothing worse and lower than betrayal. And serving several gods at once, and even more so the worship of a pagan idol, in Islam, and not only in it, is considered its most direct manifestation.
Every true Muslim does not dare to doubt the truth of his faith for a second. This sin has two degrees of severity: small and large. The small one boils down to an oath not by the name of Allah and taking actions to please people first of all, and not to God. The big one threatens to excommunicate from Islam and consists in worshiping someone other than the Almighty.
