Absolutely unforgivable Sin is SHIRK

  

Absolutely unforgivable Sin is  “Shirk”

                                                Totally unacceptable act is Shirk

                                         False deities have no power to harm or benefit

The term Shirk means associating partners with Allah, and the related term mushrik is applied to someone guilty of such polytheistic association. Ash-Shirk ul-Akbar takes one outside the fold of Islam. The opposite of Tawhid (doctrine of Oneness of God) is expressed by the Arabic term Shirk (polytheism) derived from the root Sh-r-k which conveys the notion of “sharing” or “partnerships.” The word Sharik (plural shurakaa) means “partner” or “associate.” It encompasses far more than the more blatant (obvious) forms of idolatry and denial of Allah’s Unity. Some examples of Shirk ad Du’a (invoking or supplicating to a false deity besides Allah) are given. False deities have no power, Allah has all powers. 1)   Say( O Mohammed to mankind) How do you worship besides Allah something which has no power either to harm or benefit you”,  (Quran Al-Maidah 5/76) 2) And do not invoke besides Allah that which neither benefits you nor harms you, for if you did, then indeed you would be of the wrongdoers.'  (Quran Yunus 10/106) 3)  And if Allah should touch you with adversity (hardship), there is no remover of it except Him. And if He touches you with good – then He is over all things competent. (Quran Al-Anam 6/17) 4)  Say, "Shall we invoke instead of Allah that which neither benefits us nor harms us and be turned back on our heels after Allah has guided us?  ( Quran Al-Anam 6/71) False deities have no power to harm or benefit 5) Say, "Then who could prevent Allah at all if He intended for you harm or intended for you benefit? (Quran Al-Fath 48/11)  6)   Say, "I possess not for myself any harm or benefit except what Allah should will.  (Quran Yunus 10/49) 7) Say, "I hold not for myself [the power of] benefit or harm, except what Allah has willed. (Quran Al-Araf 7/188)     8) Say, "Have you then taken besides Him allies not possessing [even] for themselves any benefit or any harm?" (Quran Ar-Rad 13/16) 9)   He(Ibrahim) said, "Do they hear you when you supplicate? Or do they benefit you, or do they harm?" (Quran Ash-Shuaraa 26/72-73)   10) Should I take other than Him [false] deities [while], if the Most Merciful intends for me some adversity, their intercession will not avail me at all, nor can they save me? (Quran Yasin-36/23)     11) Did they not see that it could not return to them any speech [i.e., response] and that it did not possess for them any harm or benefit?  (Quran Ta-Ha - 20/89) 12) Say, "Invoke those you have claimed [as gods] besides Him, for they do not possess the [ability for] removal of adversity from you or [for its] transfer [to someone else]." (Quran Al-Israa / Bani Israeel 17/56) 13) Allah says “That is only Satan who frightens [you] (to fear his Awliyaa) his supporters. So fear them not, but fear Me, if you are [indeed] believers” (Quran Al-i-Imran 3/175)   14)  Say, "Indeed, I do not possess for you [the power of] harm or right direction." (Quran Al-Jin  72/21)   15)   But they have taken besides Him gods which create nothing, while they are created, and possess not for themselves any harm or benefit and possess not [power to cause] death or life or resurrection.  (Quran Al-Furqan 25/3) 16)   Narrated Abdullah (RA)The Prophet (s.a.w.) said one statement and I said another. The Prophet said "Whoever dies while still invoking anything other than Allah as a rival to Allah, will enter Hell (Fire)." And I said, "Whoever dies without invoking anything as a rival to Allah, will enter Paradise."(Hadith Bukhari 6/24)

Fornication - Adultery

Adultery - Zina (illegal sexual intercourse) is an EVIL way

Throughout the world and in most religions, the act of adultery has been considered a crime. Any illegal sexual intercourse between a man and a woman is subject to a severe punishment prescribed by the Islamic Shari’ah. Islam has taken a firm and decisive stance against Zina (fornication or adultery). Allah, the Almighty, commands; 1) “Those who love (to see) scandal (Slander, shameful act) published broadcast among the Believers, will have a grievous Penalty in this life and in the Hereafter: Allah knows, and ye know not.”  [ Qur’an chapter 24/19 ]  2)       “O you who believe! Follow not the footsteps of Shaitan (Satan). And whosoever follows the footsteps of Shaitan (Satan), then, verily he commands Al-Fahsha' [i.e. to commit indecency (shameful acts), and Al-Munkar [disbelief and polytheism (i.e. to do evil and wicked deeds; and to speak or to do what is forbidden in Islam)]”          [ Qur’an chapter 24/21] 3)        “Allah commands justice, the doing of good, and liberality to kith and kin, and He forbids all shameful deeds, and injustice and rebellion: He instructs you, that you may receive admonition.”   [ Qur’an chapter 16/90] 4) “And come not near to unlawful sex (adultery). Verily, it is a Fahishah (i.e. anything that transgresses its limits: a great sin), and an evil way” [ Qur’an chapter 17/32] 5) “Verily, As-Salat (the prayer) prevents from Al-Fahsha' (i.e. great sins of every kind,) and Al-Munkar (i.e. disbelief, polytheism, and every kind of evil wicked deed) and the remembering (praising) of Allah (in front of the angels) is greater indeed [than your remembering (praising) of Allah in prayers. And Allah knows what you do.” [ Qur’an chapter 29/45] 6) Secret lovers (opposite sex friends like girl friend and boy friend ) are unlawful in Islam. Read [ Qur’an chapter 5/5] Storm of Stones: Prophets Luts people (Nation of prophet Lut) had a practice of sodomy and homosexual rape of males. Allah punished them in their life time, it is  described in Quarn. 1)  “Verily, We sent against them a violent storm of stones (which destroyed them all), except the family of lut (Lot), them We saved in the last hour of the night,” [ Qur’an chapter 54/34] 2) “And indeed they have passed by the town [of Prophet lut  (Lot)] on which was rained the evil rain. Did they (disbelievers) not then see it (with their own eyes)? Nay! But they used not to expect any resurrection.” [ Qur’an chapter 25/40] 3) “And (remember) Lut (Lot), when he said to his people: "Do you commit the worst sin such as none preceding you has committed in the 'Alamin (mankind and jinn)?” [ Qur’an chapter 7/80] Other Kinds of Punishments for sinners in this worldly life :--  [Awful Cry, earth swallowed, drowned in Water, violent Wind etc.] 1) “So We punished each (of them) for his sins; of them were some on whom We sent Hasib (a violent wind with shower of stones) [as on the people of lut (Lot)], and of them were some who were overtaken by As-Saihah [torment - awful cry. (as Thamud or Shu'aib's people)], and of them were some whom We caused the earth to swallow [as Qarun (Korah)], and of them were some whom We drowned [as the people of Nuh (Noah), or Fir'aun (Pharaoh) and his people]. It was not Allah Who wronged them, but they wronged themselves.” [ Qur’an chapter 29/40]

 "Our Lord! Give us in this world that which is good and in the Hereafter that which is good, and save us from the torment of the Fire!" (AAMEEN)

Arkaan (Pillars) of Hajj (Be aware that whoever leaves out something which is a “Rukn”, his Hajj is incomplete and cannot be compensated for unless that “Rukn” is done.)

1)  Ihraam with intention of performing Haj
2)  Woqoof (standing) in ‘Arafah
3)  Tawaaf al-Ifaadhah
4)  Sa’ee between as-Safaa and al-Marwah

Waajibaat (Obligations) of Hajj (Whoever leaves out a waajib, he has to expiate for it by giving a sacrifice animal within territory of Makkah and distribute the meat to beggars without eating from it any part)

1)  Ihraam from the meeqaat
2)  Staying at ‘Arafah till sunset for those who are there by day.

      weak/excused who may leave after half the night has passed.
4)  Spending the nights in Minaa during the days of tashreeq (11th, 12th and/or 13th of Thul Hijjah)
