mahussain3
Son of Aa'ishah(R.A)
All praise is due to Allah alone; may Allah send salutations and exalt the mention of Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam (p.b.u.h) after whom there are no other Prophets.
One of the most important obligations upon the Muslims, is to know the limits set by Allah , in order to stop at them and not to transgress them, because Allah says what means, "….These are the limits (set) by Allah, so approach them not…." (Al-Baqara: 187) and also, "And whosoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger and transgresses His limits, He will cast him in to the Fire, to abide therein, and he shall have a disgraceful torment." (An-Nisa': 14)
Knowing the limits set by Allah includes, knowing what Allah prohibited upon His slaves so that they would avoid it. This type of knowledge is compulsory upon each Muslims since avoiding prohibitions is compulsory; and no one can avoid something unless he has knowledge of it, which makes knowing such prohibitions an obligation. The Prophet Sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam (p.b.u.h) said, "Avoid whatever I forbade you from doing, and perform whatever I commanded you to do as much as you possibly can" (Muslim).
A Muslim must have strong willpower, and sincere determination in order to be able to avoid what Allah prohibited, otherwise, he will commit the prohibitions because of taking these prohibitions lightly and due to his weak willpower.
A Muslim realizes that Allah only prohibited that which is evil and harmful, or the harm of which outweighs its benefit, as Allah says what means, "…he allows them as lawful At-Tayibat (i.e. all good and lawful as regards things, deeds, beliefs, persons, foods, etc.) and prohibits them as unlawful Al-khabaith (i.e. all evil and unlawful things…" (Al-A'raf: 157).
A Muslim also knows that prohibiting and legalizing anything is the right of Allah alone, therefore, no one has the right to prohibit or legalize anything based on his desire, or personal opinion, because Allah says what means, "And say not concerning that which your tongues put forth falsely; "This is lawful and this is forbidden", so as to invent lies against Allah. Verily, those who invent lies against Allah will never prosper." (An-Nahl: 116)
A Muslim recognizes that whatever the Prophet Sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam (p.b.u.h), prohibited holds the same ruling as that which Allah prohibited, because Allah described His Prophet Sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam saying what means, "Nor does he speak of (his own) desire." (An-Najm: 3).
In the following few pages we will identify some of the prohibitions found in the Qur'an and the Sunnah, So that they become clear for Muslims in order to avoid committing them.
1. Associating Partners with Allaah
Associating partners with Allah is absolutely the greatest prohibition, Allah says what means, "Verily Allah forgives not (the sin of) setting up partners in worship with Him, but He forgives whom He pleases sins other than that, and whoever sets up partners in worship with worship with Allah has indeed strayed far away." (An- Nisa':116) and also, "…Verily, whosoever sets up partners in worship with Allah then Allah has forbidden paradise for him, and the fire will be his abode…" (Al-Ma'idah:72). There are many examples of this, like, grave worshipping, invocating other than Allah from the dead, deeming that which is lawful as unlawful and visa versa, or believing that other than Allah can affect the universe and the movement of galaxies.
2. Killing
Allah says what means, "And whoever kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell to abide therein, and the wrath and the curse of Allah are upon him, and a great punishment is prepared for him."(An-Nisa': 93). The Prophet Sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam (p.b.u.h) mentioned
killing when he warned against the major great sins saying, "Associating with Allah, undutifulness to parents, killing (without due right)" (Bukhari & Muslim)
3. Consuming intoxicants
Allah says what means, "O you who believe! Intoxicants (all kinds of alcoholic drinks), gambling, Al-Ansab and Al-Azlam (arrows for seeking luck or decision) are an abomination of shaitan's handiwork. So avoid (strictly all) that (abomination) in order that you may be successful." (Al-Ma'idah: 90). Anything which makes a person drunk, intoxicated, or lose concentration is prohibited. All types of drugs including cigarettes whether they are used by eating, drinking, sniffing, by taking injections or any other way, are all prohibited.
4. Adultery and fornication
Allah says what means, "And come not near to the unlawful sexual intercourse. Verily, it is a Fahishah (i.e. anything that transgresses its limits (a great sin), and an evil way (that leads one to hell unless Allah forgives him." (Al-Isra': 32). The Prophet Sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam said, "One who commits adultery or fornication, does not do it while in the state of belief" (Muslim). Adultery and fornication lead to corruption within communities and mixes (or corrupts) lineage; it also destroys bashfulness in men and women, and weakens the body and causes different sexual diseases and psychological problems, and the worse harm it causes is the wrath of the Lord.
5. Sodomy & Lesbianism
Allah says what means, "… come not near to Al- Fawahish (shameful sins, illegal sexual intercourse, etc.) whether openly or secretly…" (Al-An ' am: 151). The Prophet Sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam (p.b.u.h.) said, " If you find anyone doing the act of the people of (Prophet) Loot (sodomy) then kill the one who does it and the one to whom it is done" (Ahmad).

Gambling clubs have become wide-spread in many countries, besides the fact that there are special sites on the internet for gambling. More often than not these clubs are connected to prostitution houses, and these places combine many prohibitions and destructive sins.
7. Theft
Allah says what means, "Cut off (from the wrist joint) the (right) hand of the thief, male or female, as a recompense for that which they committed, a punishment by way of example from Allah. And Allah is All-Powerful, All-Wise." (Al-Ma'idah: 3. Theft is one of the major and great sins which disturbs security within communities and spreads disorder and fear.

The Prophet Sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam (p.b.u.h.) cursed the one who consumes money acquired as a result of Riba, the one who pays it and those who witness the transaction, and he said, "They are all equal (in the sin and punishment)" (Muslim).
