The 70 Major Sins of Islam. I found out about them at an embarrassingly old age, I hope it’s not the case for my younger ones. Assalamualaikum.

There are two types of Major Sins.

One that requires capital punishment like Murder, Theft, Zina, etc.


Cursed sins like consuming Riba, Alcohol, etc.

This list was compiled by Imam Dhahabi RA and he tried his best to sort them according to their severity. Please visit this link to find out about each of them in detail (Same titles and numbering).
