3. Seeking Qalb e
Saleem
Clarity on own Shortcomings

4. Type of Sin to Degree of
Punishment
1. Kingly sins: when a person assumes some godly attributes, such as
greatness, pride, omnipotence, subjugation, highness, exaltedness, etc.
he falls into polytheism, by associating himself with Allah. Most serious
sin of all.
2. Devilish sins: when a person imitates the devil with his attributes, such
as envy, oppression, cheating, treason, enjoining misdeeds, forbidding
righteous deeds, innovating in religion, inviting people to
misguidance.
3. Predatory sins: when a person becomes a tyrant and acts oppressively
towards other weak people, inflicting them with harm and suffering.
4. Animalistic sins: when a person becomes possessed by his passion for
lust, which leads to adultery and immorality. This type of sin is the
most common among people as they are unable to assume those
kingly or predatory attributes.

5. If you avoid the major sins which you are forbidden, We will
remove from you your lesser sins and admit you to a noble
entrance (into paradise) (An Nisa:31)

6. The Prophet ‫ﷺ‬ said: "The Five (daily) prayers, and from
one Friday Prayer to (the next) Friday Prayer is an
expiation ( of the sins committed in between them), if
major sins are not committed.”
(Muslim: 233)

7. Three Degree of Expiated
Sins
1. Weakness in the sincerity: act like weak
medicine
2. Resist small sins, and are not able to reach
the level of resisting great sins
3. Powerful enough to expiate small sins and
still possess some power to expiate some
great sins.

8. The Prophet ‫ﷺ‬ said: "Shall I not inform you of the biggest
of the great sins?" They said: "Yes, 0 Messenger of Allah"
He‫ﷺ‬said: "To join partners in worship with Allah; to be
undutiful to one's parents, to give a forged statement and
a false witness.” (Bukhari:6919)

9. Destructive Sins
The Prophet ‫ﷺ‬ said: ”Avoid the seven great destructive
sins." They (the people) asked: "O Messenger of Allah!
What are they?" He ‫ﷺ‬said: "Joining partners in worship
with Allah; practicing sorcery; killing a life which Allah has
forbidden, except for a just cause (according to Islamic
law); eating up usury (Riba), eating up the property of an
orphan; turning one's back to the enemy and fleeing
from the battlefield, at a time of fighting; and accusing
chaste women, who never even think of anything except
chastity and are good believers.”
(Bukhari:6766)

10. Abu Talib Al-Makki said: "I have gathered the
statements of
the Companions and found that the sins are…...
4: Worshipping others besides
Allah, insisting on committing a
sin; despair of the Mercy of
Allah; feeling safe from the Plan
of Allah(Punishment).
4: false witness; accusing
chaste believing women;
making calamitous vows;
practicing sorcery.
3: Drinking wine (alcoholic
drinks); consuming an
orphan's property;
consuming usury.
2: committing adultery;
committing
homosexual acts.
2: killing unlawfully;
stealing another’s
property.
1: running away from
the battlefield.
1: being undutiful to
one's parents."

11. Another Categorization of Sins
• "Great sins are everything forbidden by Allah in
the Qur' an;
• "Any act which is ordained to be punished in this
world or in the Hereafter is a great sin”
• "Whatever act, resulting in Allah and His
Messenger cursing its performer, is a great sin.”
• "All sins - considering the fact of boldly disobeying
Allah and rejecting His Commands - are great
sins."

13. Purpose of All
Creation

ِ‫ُون‬‫و‬ُ‫د‬ْ‫ب‬َ‫ع‬ِ‫ل‬
(Adh Dhariyaat:56)

14. Allah is He Who created seven heavens and of the earth a similar
number. Through the midst of them (all) descends His Command:
that you may know that Allah has power over all things, and that
Allah comprehends, all things in (His) Knowledge.
(At Talaaq:12)

15. We sent aforetime our messengers with Clear Signs and sent
down with them the Book and the Balance (of Right and
Wrong), that men may stand forth in justice; (Al Hadeed:25)

16. Akbar Al Kabaer

(Luqman:13)

17. 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. (An Nisa:48)

18. Two Types of Shirk
Related to Allah's Attributes,
Names and Actions
Related to worshipping Him

19. Shirk Related to Attributes of Allah
First type of shirk is called "ta 'teel’ i.e. a concept
which denies Allah all His Attributes, like the case
of Pharaoh, who said:
َ‫عن‬ِ‫م‬َ‫ل‬‫ا‬َ‫ب‬ْ‫ال‬ ُّ‫ب‬َ‫ر‬ ‫ا‬َ‫م‬ َ‫و‬ ُ‫ن‬ ْ‫و‬َ‫ع‬ ْ‫ر‬ِ‫ف‬ َ‫ل‬‫ا‬َ‫ق‬
Pharaoh said: "And what is the 'Lord and Cherisher of the worlds'?”
(Ash Shuaraah:23)

20. Shirk Related to Attributes of Allah
Second, a type of shirk is of those who associate
partners with Allah without denying Him His
Names or Godship
‫ع‬ِ‫م‬ُ‫ع‬ َ‫و‬ ‫ي‬ِ‫ع‬ْ‫ح‬ُ‫ع‬ ‫ي‬ِ‫ذ‬َّ‫ال‬ َ‫ِّي‬ِ‫د‬ َ‫ر‬ ُ‫م‬‫ع‬ِ‫ه‬‫ا‬َ‫ْر‬‫د‬ِ‫إ‬ َ‫ل‬‫ا‬َ‫ق‬

Abraham said: "My Lord is He Who Giveth life and death." He said: "I
give life and death".(Al Baqarah:258)

light and Evil to

24. Shirk in Ibadah
Lack of Sincerity

25. The Prophet ‫ﷺ‬ said: "Polytheism in this Ummah is
more hidden than the creeping of ants.”
(Ibn Hibban)

26. What leads to this shirk….
• Just for enjoyment
• What appeals to nafs
• Worldly benefit
• Riyaa
• To impress people

27. And they have been commanded no more than this: To worship
Allah, offering Him sincere devotion, being true (in faith); to
establish regular prayer; and to practise regular charity; and that is
the Religion Right and Straight.
(Al Bayyina: 5)

28. Yet there are men who take (for worship) others besides Allah, as equal
(with Allah): They love them as they should love Allah. But those of Faith
are overflowing in their love for Allah. If only the unrighteous could see,
behold, they would see the penalty: that to Allah belongs all power, and
Allah will strongly enforce the penalty.
(Al Baqarah:165)

29. "'By Allah, we were truly in an error manifest,
"'When we held you as equals with the Lord of the Worlds;
(Ash Shuarah:97-98)
َ‫ض‬ ‫ي‬ِ‫ف‬َ‫ل‬ ‫ا‬َّ‫ن‬ُ‫ك‬ ‫ن‬ِ‫إ‬ ِ َّ
‫اَّلل‬َ‫ت‬
‫عن‬ِ‫د‬ُّ‫م‬ ‫ل‬ َ
‫اَل‬
َ‫ب‬ْ‫ال‬ ِِّ‫ب‬َ‫ر‬ِ‫د‬ ‫م‬ُ‫ك‬‫ع‬ ِِّ‫و‬َ‫س‬ُ‫ن‬ ْ‫ذ‬ِ‫إ‬
َ‫عن‬ِ‫م‬َ‫ل‬‫ا‬

31. Shirk in words and actions
• Prostration to others besides Allah
• Making circumambulation for others besides
Allah
• Kissing other stones, apart from the Black
Stone in the Ka'bah
• Kissing graves and prostrating to them seeking
the blessings of the dead

32. The Prophet ‫ﷺ‬ said: "Among the most evil
people, to whom the Hour will come while they
are still alive, are those who take their graves as
masjids.”
(Ahmed:195)

33. "If any religious man died, amongst the people before
you, they would build a place of worship at his grave and
make these pictures in it. They would be the worst
creatures in the sight of Allah on the Day of
Resurrection.’ (Bukhari:427)

34. Some Shirk Statements
• "What Allah wills and what you will.”
• "I rely on Allah and on you."
• "I have none but Allah and you."
• "This is of the Blessings of Allah and your blessings."
• "I have Allah in the heavens and I have you on earth."
• "By Allah and the life of so and so ... "
• "I swear by Allah and so and so ... "
• "I ask Allah and so and so ... "

35. For Allah Alone…
Sajidah
Ibadah
Tawakkal Taqwah
Repentance
Taking
oaths
Making
tasbeeh Humility

36. And whoever desires other than Islām as religion - never will
it be accepted from him, and he, in the Hereafter, will be
among the losers.(Ale Imran:85)

39. Perfection Belongs to Allah
only!
• Believing that the Creator could resemble any of His
creation
• Or His Creation could resemble the Creator
• Special characteristic of the Deity that He is Unique,
• it is an obligation to devote one's supplications, fears,
wishes and rely on Allah Alone
• Allah is capable of fulfilling anyone's needs
• One the characteristics of the Deity is Absolute
Perfection, in all aspects
• This necessitates the devotion of worship to Allah,
Alone

41. Dua after each Salah
O Allah! There is none who can withhold
what You give and there is none who can
give what You withhold; and the might of the
might person cannot benefit him against You.
(Bukhari: 6330)

42. Focus of Ibadah
Extreme
Love Extreme
Humility
Worldly success
Credit to people
Impressed by skyscraper
Embryology
Scientific research

43. The Prophet ‫ﷺ‬ said: "Allah said: 'Pride is My Cloak and
Greatness is My Robe, and so he who competes with
Me in respect of either of them I shall cast into the
Hell-Fire.”
(Muslim:2620)

44. The Prophet‫ﷺ‬ said: "Allah said: 'Who are most unjust
than those who try to create something like My
Creation? I challenge them to create even the
smallest ant or, a grain of wheat or barley. ”’
(Bukhari:7559)

45. Greatest Sin
Poor opinion of Allah
And that was your assumption which you
assumed about your Lord. It has brought you to
ruin, and you have become among the losers.
(Ha meem Sajidah:23)

46. When we think bad of
someone
• No feelings
• Negativity
• Forced obligation

48. Peak of Love

49. He presents to you an example from yourself. Do you have among those whom your
right hands possess any partners in what We have provided for you so that you are
equal therein (and) would fear them as your fear of one another (within a
partnership)? Thus do We detail the verses for a people who use reason.
(Ar Room:28)

50. They have not appraised Allah with true appraisal, while the earth
will be (within) His grip on the Day of Resurrection, and the
heavens will be folded in His right hand. Exalted is He and high
above what they associate with Him.
(Az Zumar:67)

51. Denying Allah’s Right
• Complaining on system created by Allah
• Blurred vision related to Allah’s names and
learning from them
• Confusions about Qadr: Allah punishes His
Servants for something they did not do, or have
no power or effect over
• Wrong placing of Allah’s Status: Whadatul
Wajood, anger, love, wisdom, control
• Aqal over Deen: making our own calculations

53. Did I not enjoin upon you, O children of Adam, that you not
worship Shaitaan (for)indeed, he is to you a clear enemy-
And that you worship (only) Me? This is a straight path
(Ya Seen:60-61)

55. Talking and Opinionating
A Great Evil

56. Some Manners Needed
• Without having any proper knowledge
• To describe Allah with anything contrary to what
He has described Himself
• A polytheist who still acknowledges the Attributes
of the Lord is less evil than the one who denies
the Lord His Attributes of Perfection!
• The denial of the Attributes of the Lord is the
ailment without a cure.

57. And Pharaoh said, ‘O Haman, construct for me a tower that I might
reach the ways.
The ways into the heavens-so that I may look at the deity of Mosa;
but indeed, I think he is a liar.’…(Momin:36-37)

58. "An innovation is more beloved by Iblis than an act of
disobedience to Allah; because one can repent from a
disobedient act, but can hardly do so from an
innovation.” (Scholar)

59. Trap of Shaitaan
lblis said: "I have exhausted the Children of
Adam with sins, and they have exhausted me by
seeking forgiveness from Allah and testifying that
there is no god worthy of worship but Allah,
Alone. On seeing this, I established among them
sects (and heretic tendencies); so they commit
sins and do not repent from them, because they
think that they are acquiring good by their
deeds!"

60. Sinner vs Innovator
Harms only himself
Having to cope his
own desires
Sin limited to self
Slowed down
because of his sins
Harms himself as well
as other people
The fitnah affects the
basis of religion
Drives people away
from the Right Path
Denies people the right
way to the Hereafter
