The Major Sins

Imam al-Dhahabi (d. 748H)

Imam Shams al-Din al-Dhahabi’s Al-Kaba’ir (The Major Sins) is a powerful and essential work in which he identifies and explains the gravest sins in Islam, drawing upon clear proofs from the Qur’an and the authentic Sunnah.

This edition is based on the authentic and verified version, free from the fabrications and weak reports that crept into later distortions attributed to him.

Within its pages are 76 clearly defined major sins, each supported by authoritative evidence and presented with clarity and precision.

In a time when sinful acts – such as murder, fornication, intoxication, and other major sins – are no longer just common but celebrated in media and online, this work stands as a trusted guide for the believer: a beacon of clarity for those who seek to preserve their faith and protect themselves from the destructive influence of sin.
