Avoiding Major Sins

The Prophet Muhammad said, “… wrongdoing is that which wavers in your soul, and which you dislike people finding out about.”[3] He also said, “Consult your heart. Righteousness is that which the soul feels at ease and the heart feels tranquil with. And wrongdoing is that which wavers in the soul and causes uneasiness in the chest…”.

A person is able to avoid many sins by praying five times a day, reading or reciting the Quran, observing the five pillars of Islam and by keeping ourselves busy remembering Allah. By doing this we leave very little spare time in which sinful behaviour can occur. As humans we do fall into errors and sins, none the less we should try our best to avoid all sins, especially the major ones because they are very displeasing to Allah and, as we know, they jeopardise our contentment in this life and the hereafter. And when we fall into a sin, we should repent from it and beg for Allah’s mercy and forgiveness.

Many people believe that their sins are too big and too frequent for Allah to ever forgive them. Islam however is the religion of forgiveness and Allah loves to forgive. Although the sins of humankind may reach as high as the clouds in the sky, Allah will forgive and go on forgiving until the Final Hour is almost upon us.

“Except those who repent and believe and do good deeds. Such will enter Paradise, and they will not be wronged in any way.” (Quran 19:60)

Repentance is essential for a person to lead a contented life. The reward of repentance is peace of mind and the forgiveness and pleasure of the Almighty. However, there are three conditions to repentance. They are, giving up the sin, feeling regret of committing it and resolving never to go back to that sin. If these three conditions are fulfilled with sincerity then Allah will forgive. If the sin was concerned with the rights of another person then there is a fourth condition. That is to restore, if possible, the rights taken away.

Jesus has already solve the problems of sin, the old testament law lay the ground work." THOU SHALL NOT KILL" what causes murder ? anger , and Jesus say.

Matthew 5:22
But I tell you that anyone who is ANGRY with a
brother or sister will be subject to judgment.
Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister,
'Raca,' is answerable to the court. And anyone
who says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the
fire of hell...

what causes adultery ? LUST, again Jesus solve the problem:Jesus say ....

Matthew 5:28.

woman LUSTFULLY has already committed
adultery with her in his heart.
