Destructive Seven Sins In Islam
Before Islam, human beings were living a very uncivilized life. They don’t follow any rules and laws and do a lot of unforgivable sins regularly with no hesitation. Islam enlightened their life with the message of Allah as Hazrat Muhammad (P.B.U.H) teach them civilization according to the Holy Quran. Understand deeply about seven sins in Islam to stay safe.
Shirk (Polytheism)
The Arabic word ‘Shirk’ linguistically means ‘to share or append, not being single or one’. Allah is very merciful and great. In Islam, there is strict punishment against every sin however every sin is forgivable except shirk. It’s a direct or indirect association with God or any characteristics of God.
O Prophet “Say (to the Mushrikin), “Indeed, He (Allah) is but one God, and indeed, I am free of what you associate [with Him].”
Allah has the ultimate power, and He has created the entire universe. Unquestionably, He provides us food, shelter, and even life, and above all loves us more than the mother.
Muslims believe in the afterlife. We know that we are accountable to Allah on the day of judgment. Unquestionably, we must seek help from Allah only. He is almighty and powerful and can lead us on the righteous path.
“Proclaim, “Call upon those whom you assume (gods) besides Allah – so they do not have any power to relieve the misfortune from you nor to avert it.”
Killing /Murder
Islam believes in humanity and peace. There are clear instructions regarding Haqooq Ullah and Haqooq Ul Ibad in Islam. Muslims believe in brotherhood. They used to treat other Muslims as their brother and completely care about other Muslims in every way. Killing is one of the most serious crimes in this world.
In Islam, it’s the most powerful sin which is strictly prohibited and unforgivable. Muslims are used to protect others and saving a single life in Islam is highly rewarding. Besides, killing non–Muslims and it does not allow even animals however there are certain terms and conditions about non- Muslims.
“And whoever kills a believer intentionally, his punishment is Hell; he shall abide in it, and Allah will send His wrath on him and curse him and prepare for him a painful chastisement.”

There are multiple physical, mental, and spiritual benefits of Salah. Above all, Muslims must remember and worship Allah regularly. Salah is the best way to connect yourself with God. In Salah, you thank Allah for all the blessings, also pray for more blessings and seek forgiveness too.
