  1. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) described many sins as major in various places and depending on the circumstances. He has described three, sometimes six, sometimes seven, and sometimes even more. I do not intend to rely on it, but have described as much as was considered appropriate to the occasion and circumstances.

    In a hadith of Bukhari and Muslim, it is said: The Holy Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: I am informing you of the greatest of the major sins, they are three: associating any creature with Allah, Disobeying parents and bearing false witness or lying.

    Similarly, in a tradition of Bukhari and Muslim, it is said: Someone asked the Holy Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, what is the greatest sin? He said: You associate someone with Allah, even though He has created you, then asked which sin is the greatest after that? So he said that if you kill your child with the risk that it will partake of your food, you will have to feed it, then asked which sin is the greatest after that? He said: Committing adultery with one’s neighbor’s wife, adultery itself is a great crime and the protection of one’s neighbor’s family and friends is also the responsibility of a person like one’s own family and friends, so this crime has doubled.
