Sins are bad deeds that one does, which can lead them to hellfire in the hereafter.
Allah made all sins forbidden. There are small sins as well as large ones.
The biggest of sins is blasphemy, and then murder, then it
is fornication. These are the three major sins in Islam.
Prophet Muhammad(may Allah raise his rank) said what means that blasphemy is the
worst of the sins, and other sins compared to blasphemy are like nothing.
People nowadays they sin without even being aware of it.
For example, lying is one of the sins. Whether it is a small lie or large one,
it is forbidden.
How many people do we see nowadays that's lying like it's nothing?
Sins are very dangerous because there are many of them, and even if one
does not know if it is a sin or not they still will get punished. This is why
Allah made learning an obligation. Because after all, the only way to refrain from doing
any sin is to first learn that it is a sin.
Piouty is only achieved when one refrains from all the sins and
performs all the obligations(if they are able to.) With that being said
one can see the intense difficulty in being a pious slave of Allah.
Still... Allah doesn't put any burden on us that we are unable to accomplish.
We must all be pious Muslims and refrain from doing all sins, small or large.
May Allah have mercy on us.
Ignorance is not an excuse in Islam.
One can't simply say on the day of judgemnt to Allah "Oh Alllah I did not know, how can you punish me?"
NO! This is why Allah made it an obligation to learn. If you committ a sin and die without learning the judgement of it than... May Allah have
mercy on your soul."
HARAAM means forbidden, prohibited and unlawful.
