"If you avoid the major (part) of what you have been forbidden (to do), We will cancel out for you your (other) evil deeds and will admit you (to Paradise) with a noble entry." (Al Nisa: 31)
It is therefore very important to determine exactly what the greatest vices, technically called "the major sins" are, in order that Muslims avoid them.
The prophet (pbuh) said: "Avoid the seven noxious things" - and after having said this, the Prophet (pbuh) mentioned them:
* Associating anything with Allah,
* killing one whom Allah has declared inviolate without a just cause,
* magic,
* consuming the property of an orphan,
* devouring usury,
* turning back when the army advances,
* slandering chaste women who are believers but indiscreet.
(Bukhari and Muslim)
