Religion Desk: Narrated by Anas (R.A.), Nabiji (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said, the most terrible sins among poets are four; 1. Associating with Allah; 2. to kill a person (unjustly); 3. disobedience to parents; 4. Lying or giving false testimony as he said. (Sahih Bukhari: 6871)
The 4 sins mentioned in this hadith
1. Associating
partners with Allah is the most abominable and heinous sin in the sight of Allah. Shirk is called the worst form of oppression in the Qur'an and is repeatedly commanded to avoid shirk in various verses. Although Allah forgives all sins, He does not forgive shirk. Allah Ta'ala says, Surely Allah does not forgive associating with him. Besides, he forgives any other crime he wants. And whoever associates partners with Allah commits a great sin. (Surah Nisa: 48)
Allah declares Jannah forbidden for those who commit shirk, and Allah forbids Jannah for him who associates with Allah and his abode will be Hell. (Surah al-Maida: 72)
Shirk is mentioned first among the 4 worst sins in the mentioned hadith. Besides, many other verses and hadiths have highlighted the horrors and punishments of shirk.
2. Killing a human being unjustly
killing or murdering an innocent person is the greatest sin in Islam regarding human rights. In Islam, killing people is a punishable crime in this world, it will be punished in the hereafter. How terrible the crime of killing an innocent person is revealed in this verse, Allah Ta'ala says, whoever kills someone without the reason of killing people or creating terror in the land, it is as if he killed all people. And the one who saved a man's life, it is as if he saved all the people. (Surah al-Maida: 32)
In several hadiths, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) called killing people as kufr. Abdullah Ibn Mas'ud (RA) said, Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said that insulting a Muslim is a sin and attacking him with the intention of killing him is kufr. (Sahih Muslim: 124)
Declaring the killer or the murderer to be damned and eternally in hell, Allah Almighty says, whoever kills a believer intentionally, his punishment is hell; In order for him to remain permanently, Allah's wrath and curse and Allah has prepared for him a severe punishment. (Surah Nisa: 93)
3. Harassing Parents
In the Qur'an, Allah Ta'ala has described the necessity of good behavior and Ihsan towards parents in connection with His worship. Compulsorily ordered to serve the parents and also forbade any displeasure in their conduct.
Allah Ta'ala says, Your Lord has commanded that you worship none but Him and treat your parents well. If one or both of them reach old age with you, do not say 'oof' to them and do not scold them. And talk to them respectfully. Be merciful to them and bow down the wings of humility and say, 'My Lord, have mercy on them as they brought me up in childhood'. (Surah Isra: 23, 24)
In this verse, it is forbidden to say 'Oof' when annoyed by the behavior of the parents. That is, they suffer such that any word, action or behavior is forbidden.
4. Telling lies or bearing false witness
is an essential characteristic of Muslims; truthfulness; To tell the truth, to bear witness to the truth, to establish the truth, to stand for truth, justice and justice. Abstain from deceit, fraud, pretense and hypocrisy.
Commanding the believers to be with the truth, Allah Almighty says, O believers, adopt the piety of Allah and be with the truthful. (Surah Tawbah: 119)
Lying, cheating and cheating are the characteristics of hypocrites. Just as believers lie about their faith, they cheat, lying is also their nature in other areas. On the authority of Abu Hurairah (RA), the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, The signs of a hypocrite are three; When you speak, you lie, when you promise, you break it, and when you keep a deposit, you betray it. (Sahih Bukhari: 33)
Lies must be avoided at all times. There is no room for lying even in the guise of jokes or mischief. Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said, "He who tells lies to make people laugh, destruction is inevitable for him, destruction is inevitable, destruction is inevitable." (Sunan Abu Dawud: 4990)
