Not performing the Prayers

The major sins are those acts which have been forbidden by Allah in the Quran and by His Messenger (PBUH) in the Sunnah and which The major sins are those acts which have been forbidden by Allah in the Quran and by His Messenger (PBUH) in the Sunnah and which have been made clear by the actions of the first righteous generation of Muslims, the Companions of the Prophet (s.a.w.s).
Allah (s.w.t) says concerning them in the Glorious Quran:
If you avoid the great sins which you are forbidden to do, We shall expiate from you your (small) sins, and admit you to a Noble Entrance (i.e. Paradise) [Quran 4:31]

Although the major sins are many, close to seventy according to Ibn 'Abbas (RA), the following hadeeth highlights the seriousness of such sins:

The Prophet (PBUH) said: "Avoid the seven things that doom a person to Hell." They said, "O Messenger of Allah, what are they?" He said, "Associating others with Allah (shirk); witchcraft (sihr); killing a soul whom Allah has forbidden to kill, except for a lawful reason; consuming riba; consuming the property of orphans; fleeing from the battlefield; and slandering chaste and innocent believing women." [Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 2615; Muslim, 89]

It is therefore of paramount importance that Muslims gains knowledge about these major sins and do their utmost to avoid them. In this major sins series, Imaam Abu Usamah goes through the book "Kitaab ul-Kabair" (Book of major sins) written by the great scholar of Islam, Imaam Adh-Dhahabi (rahimahullah) (d. 748 AH). Abu Usamah uses his dynamic and captivating style to expound upon each chapter of the book correcting any weak hadeeth that may be present.

  • Respect for the brother here - but I think he went too far at around 26:00 where he says the Pope needs to be disliked - I don't know - I think the Prophet (SAW) would have befriended him and the Qur'an says that the "Christians are those who are closest in belief to you." I mean, I don't know - I grew up around Christians - and yes they followed their faith but they also let me follow my own - and even now Christians seem to be the only ones Moslems can trust. I don't think we should allow hate

  • @WeBorn2DieAnyTime wa 3alaykum asalaam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu

  • Warm and easy

  • Masha Allaah!!! This is just the true. Abu Usamah explains everything clearly!!

    May all Muslim brothers & sisters pray the Salaah!! Ameen

  • @bsugar22 its ur duty to give them dawah then isnt it. Ignorance can be forgiven due to you not knowing something. But if you know and do not pass the message on. That is worse.

  • Most of my family members don't perform SALAH........bcos they are so ignorant!

  • Masha Allah, Abu Osama is pretty good, May Allah allow such knowledgeable scholars prevail around the world.. Thanks for uploading, got me hooked on these lectures.

  • The evidences from the Quran concerning the 'leaving off the salah' IS DALEEL. I dont agree with the brother that these ayah are not clear. If the reason why a person is a kafir is due to the fact that they never performed salah then WHAT other evidences does a person want?

  • Those who dont uphold salah = People of the dunya. IOW people of satan
