The first and greatest major sin is to associate others with Allah, the Exalted. This has been confirmed by the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, in a Hadith found in Sahih Bukhari, number 6273. Polytheism can be classified as greater and minor. The greater type is when one worships more than one God. If a person dies in this state they will not be forgiven. Chapter 4 An Nisa, verse 48:
“Indeed, Allah does not forgive association with Him…”
The minor type is when one shows off their actions. This has been confirmed in in many Hadiths such as the one found in Sunan Ibn Majah, number 3989. On Judgment Day those who performed deeds to please others besides Allah, the Exalted, will be commanded to gain their reward from them which will not be possible. This is confirmed in a Hadith found in Jami At Tirmidhi, number 3154.
The next major sin which is widely practiced by certain communities is sorcery or black magic.
The Holy Quran has connected practicing sorcery with unbelief. Chapter 2 Al Baqarah, verse 102:
“…But they [i.e., the two angels] do not teach anyone unless they say, “We are a trial, so do not disbelieve [by practicing magic]…”
Some perform this sin believing it is only forbidden when it is actually connected to disbelief. The Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, classified sorcery as one of the destructive sins meaning, if one does not sincerely repent it may well cause them to enter Hell. This is confirmed in a Hadith found in Sahih Bukhari, number 2766.
It is a deadly major sin as the one who practices it believes it can change the decree of Allah, the Exalted. Meaning, it can rival and challenge the infinite power of Allah, the Exalted, which is clear unbelief. Therefore, muslims must avoid this deadly major sin at all costs.
