This document discusses several major sins in Islam including shirk/idolatry, practicing magic, murder, theft, usury, cowardice in battle, and slander. It also mentions the seven deadly sins and quotes a hadith about Solomon and the devils. Further, it discusses concepts like earnestness, dedication, decline, degradation, planting good deeds, and quotes from scholars on topics like knowledge and character, speaking up for others, and finding good in moments of weakness.

1. MAJOR SINS

2. • Shirk/Idolatry/Polytheism/Henotheism
7 DEADLY SINS

3. Sahih International
“And they followed [instead] what the devils had recited during the reign of
Solomon. It was not Solomon who disbelieved, but the devils disbelieved,
teaching people magic and that which was revealed to the two angels at
Babylon, Harut and Marut. But the two angels do not teach anyone unless
they say, "We are a trial, so do not disbelieve [by practicing magic]." And [yet]
they learn from them that by which they cause separation between a man and
his wife. But they do not harm anyone through it except by permission of
Allah . And the people learn what harms them and does not benefit them. But
the Children of Israel certainly knew that whoever purchased the magic would
not have in the Hereafter any share. And wretched is that for which they sold
themselves, if they only knew.”
Quran (2:102)
* PRACTICING MAGIC

4. * Murder of any person, Muslim or non-
Muslim,
* Taking the property of an orphan,
* Usury,
* Running away from a battle,
* Slandering a chaste woman with
accusations.
CONFRONTED BY ETHICS:-
LOOKS BAD, FEELS BAD,

5. EARNESTNESS &
DEDICATION

6. • Earnestness and Dedication goes hand-in-hand.
• Staying busy and productive: Frame of mind is organized.
• Ease up and let the rope loose, particularly during breaks
(between projects, classes) or after graduation etc.
• Rigor ???
HADITH OF PROPHET (S) "Take advantage of five
before five… [and he mentioned taking advantage
of] your free time before becoming busy."
HADITH

7. • Decline will engulf us
• Say Aouthobillah... and get back on our feet.
• There is no need to give explanation or wait until
tomorrow. This may consume our good energy.
DEGRADATION

8. “If the Hour is established, and if any one of you
has a palm seedling in his hand, then if he is able to
plant it, then he should plant it.”
• Who knows what is going to happen the next
second.
• Plant our palm seedling now as we have to live for
today first.
HADITH

9. Sh Tawfique Chowdury's quote I find inspirational :-
We don't do a sin except that we leave a good deed by it. In the same way, we
do not do a bidah except that we leave a sunnah at the same time. The more
sins and bidahs in our ummah, the faster our good deeds and the Prophet
sallallahu alahi wa sallam's sunnah will be lost. Pay heed to this my people and
come back to the straight path.
The one who has never failed or fallen down in sin will not know the treasures
that lie deep within repentance. The tears that come from the heart of a
believer in deep remorse of having disappointed his Rabb have miraculous
healing power.
QUOTABLE QUOTES

10. Mufti Menk :-
“If we would really like to be of benefit, our dislike must be focused
upon the bad deed and not the individual.”
Sh AbdulNasir Jangda:-
“The pursuit of knowledge without concern for
character is a curse rather than a blessing.”
“Speak up for others, especially when they aren’t present to speak up for
themselves.”
We all experience moments of weakness and vulnerability. While we may dislike the feeling, it's important to
understand that there's good in all situations. Many of these weak moments remind us to turn to Allah, make
dua, and pray. Anything that brings us closer to Allah is good.
