Hadith of the Day: Avoid the seven great destructive sins

[Flight23]

Narrated Abu Huraira (Radi'Allahu anhu):

The Prophet (Sall'Allahu alaihi wasallam) said,

"Avoid the seven great destructive sins."

They (the people!) asked,
"O Allah's Apostle! What are they?"


He (Sall'Allahu alaihi wasallam) said,

"To join partners in worship with Allah;
to practice sorcery;
to kill the life which Allah has forbidden
except for a just cause (according to Islamic law);
to eat up usury (Riba);
to eat up the property of an orphan;
to give one's back to the enemy
and freeing from the battle-field at the time of fighting
and to accuse chaste women
who never even think of anything touching chastity
and are good believers."

(Sahih Bukhari ~ Book #82, Hadith #840)
