Shall I inform you of the gravest of the major sins? The grave major sins are: associating partners with Allah, undutifulness towards the parents, murder, and intentional false oath. Avoid the seven destructive sins When two Muslims meet to fight each other with their swords, both the killer and the killed are doomed to Hell The example of the righteous companion and the evil companion is like that of the musk-seller and the one who blows the bellows No soul gets killed wrongfully without the first son of Adam taking guilt for its blood because he was the first to institute the practice of murder All of my Ummah may be forgiven except those who commit sin openly The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about the foremost deed that leads people to Paradise, and he replied: Fear of Allah and good character. Then, he was asked about the most things that lead people into Hellfire, and he said: The tongue and the private parts Shall I tell you what ‘ada is? It is calumny which is committed among the people The bell is the musical instrument of the Satan My servant hastened to bring about his demise; I have forbidden Paradise to him. O Messenger of Allah, what if a man comes to me wanting to take my money? He said: Then do not give him your money During my ascent to heaven, I passed by a group of people with copper nails scratching their faces and chests. I asked: O Jibrīl, who are these? He replied: These are the ones who eat the flesh of people (by backbiting) and slander them There are three (types of people) to whom Allah will not speak (on the Day of Judgment), nor will He purify, and they will incur a painful punishment: an aged person who commits adultery, a poor person who is arrogant, and a man who has made (swearing by) Allah as his goods; as he does not buy or sell without swearing by Allah When Allah wants to punish a people, the punishment befalls whoever is among them, then they will be resurrected according to their deeds The most rebellious of people against Allah, Exalted and Glorified, is someone who kills another in the sacred precincts of Allah May Allah curse the thief who steals an egg and his hand is cut off for that, and he steals a rope and his hand is cut off for that
