വിശുദ്ധ ഖുർആൻ പരിഭാഷ - ഇംഗ്ലീഷ് പരിഭാഷ - അബ്ദുല്ല ഹസൻ യഅ്ഖൂബ്
إِن تَجۡتَنِبُواْ كَبَآئِرَ مَا تُنۡهَوۡنَ عَنۡهُ نُكَفِّرۡ عَنكُمۡ سَيِّـَٔاتِكُمۡ وَنُدۡخِلۡكُم مُّدۡخَلٗا كَرِيمٗا
[12]. Every sin is an offense against Allāh. Yet, Allāh makes a distinction between two types of sins. The most serious and grave sins, which is called deadly sins. By their very grave nature, a deadly sin turns man away from his Creator, Allāh. The second type of sin, minor sin, that of less grave matter. However, minor sin damages our relationship with Allāh. A person who frequently indulges in minor sin is very likely to collapse into major sin if they persist in their evil ways. In order for a sin to be deadly, it must meet three conditions:
Deadly sin is a sin of grave matter.
Deadly sin is committed with full knowledge of the sinner. Deadly sin is committed with deliberate consent of the sinner. The Qur’an and the Sunnah gives us a list of grave sins that anyone who commits will be subject to the punishment of Allāh, which are these: Associating partners with Allah, murder (unjust killing of a soul), practicing sorcery / magic, abandoning the prayer (ṣalāh), not paying Zakāh, breaking the fast of Ramadan without excuse, not performing Ḥajj (if able), disobedience to parents, cutting family ties, adultery and fornication, sodomy, consuming intoxicants (drugs, etc.), dealing in usury (interest), consuming orphan’s wealth unjustly, stealing, highway robbery, bearing false witness / lying in court, falsely accusing chaste women (or men), taking bribes in judgment, men imitating women / women imitating men, arrogance, pride, and oppression, despairing of Allah’s mercy, feeling secure from Allah’s punishment, suicide, breaking trusts and oaths, engaging in unjust rule or tyranny, backbiting and slander,
severing ties with the Qur’an (not reciting or acting upon it), etc.
