26-15 “And the major sins are as follows: associating partners with the Honorable the Exalted God; murdering someone which is prohibited by the Honorable the Exalted God; disrespecting parents’ rights; fleeing from holy war; oppressively devouring an orphan’s property; taking usury after knowing its unlawfulness; unduly ascribing adultery to chaste women; committing adultery; sodomizing; stealing; eating flesh of dead animals; drinking blood; eating pork; eating what has been offered for anyone other than God; eating ill-gotten property; selling underweight goods; gambling; falsely testifying; losing hope in God’s Forgiveness; feeling secure from God’s Plots; abandoning helping of the oppressed; relying on oppressors; false swearing; blocking (people’s due) rights; Haughtiness; oppressing one’s inferiors; telling lies; wastefulness; overspending; treachery; underestimating the Hajj pilgrimage; fighting with the friends of the Honorable the Exalted God. Moreover engaging in whatever would keep one far from God’s remembrance such as singing or playing musical instruments and persisting in doing minor sins is admonished against.” Then As-Sadiq (MGB) added, “This is sufficient for the servants who are obedient.” The compiler of the book added, “There are seven absolutely major sins. However, the sins mentioned thereafter are more major than minor sins, and are less severe than the major sins. This is what As-Sadiq (MGB) intended to say by naming more than seven major sins here. There is no power save in God.”
