Righteousness is good morality and sin is that which causes
discomfort (or pinches) within your soul and which you dislike people
to become informed of.” [Hadith, Sahih Muslim]
- Sin is the aspect in a Muslim’s life which he or she makes efforts
to abstain from all costs. - Allah (swt) warns mankind that the ones whose bad deeds (sins)
are heavy will be in Hell. - Striving to live the life of a believer (mu’min) and separate from
the likeness of the sinner (fasiq) - Allah (swt), in His Mercy , has made the number of things that are
sin very small, and has made this life easy for someone to avoid
sins or to seek repentance for them.

Major sins and Minor Sins
There are two types of sins in Islam
—– Major Sins (Kaba’ir or “enormities”): Any sin entailing either a treat
of punishment in the hereafter explicitly mentioned by the Quran or
Hadith, a prescribed legal penalty (Hadd), or being accursed by Allah or
His Messenger.
—– Minor Sins (sayi’at) smaller sins and daily activities where we have
to be aware of our behavior and conduct. (EXP. Losing temper, saying
bad words, making fun of people, bad behavior, bad treatment of
