The Four Great Sins

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) was asked about the great sins and he listed four of them.

Narrated Anas: The Prophet was asked about the great sins He said, "They are:-- (1 ) To join others in worship with Allah, II To be undutiful to one's parents. III To kill a person (which Allah has forbidden to kill) (ie to commit the crime of murdering). IV And to give a false witness".
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُنِيرٍ، سَمِعَ وَهْبَ بْنَ جَرِيرٍ، وَعَبْدَ الْمَلِكِ بْنَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ سُئِلَ النَّبِيُّ عَنِ الْكَبَائِرِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ الإِشْرَاكُ بِاللَّهِ، وَعُقُوقُ الْوَالِدَيْنِ، وَقَتْلُ النَّفْسِ، وَشَهَادَةُ الزُّورِ ‏"‏‏.‏ تَابَعَهُ غُنْدَرٌ وَأَبُو عَامِرٍ وَبَهْزٌ وَعَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the four great sins that one should avoid. Joining others in worship with Allah is considered a major sin as it goes against the teachings of Islam. Being undutiful to one's parents is also a major sin as it goes against the teachings of respecting and honoring one's parents. Killing someone which Allah has forbidden to kill is also considered a major sin as it goes against the teachings of not taking another person's life without just cause. Giving false witness or lying under oath is also considered a major sin as it goes against the teachings of truthfulness and honesty. All these sins are serious offenses that should be avoided at all costs in order to live an upright life according to Islamic principles and values.
