 The Prophet (Sal-allahu-aleihi-wasallam) said, "Avoid the
seven great destructive sins." The people enquire, "O Allah's Apostle! What are
they? " He said:
|
| "To join others in worship along with
Allah, |
| to practice sorcery, |
| to kill the life which Allah has forbidden
except for a just cause (according to Islamic law), |
| to eat up riba (usury), |
| to eat up an orphan's wealth, |
| to give back to the enemy and fleeing from
the battlefield at the time of fighting, |
| and to accuse chaste women, who never even
think of anything touching chastity and are good believers." |
