Major Sins in Islam
No human is free of Sins, and Allah is the most Merciful, most Forgiving.
In Islam, if a person commits a major sin, he has to undergo the following thing to seek repentance (Tauba)
Abandon the sin completely.
Be remorseful over the sin committed.Â
Make a firm resolution not to return to the sin
Acquire all means of getting rid of that sin (if needed).
If the sin is related to the rights of people, those rights should be fulfilled.
No matter how many times people sin, Allah will forgive them unless they fulfill the above conditions.
We will be tired of sinning, but Allah will never get tired of forgiving us.Â
Prophet Mohammad (SAW) said,
Every son of Adam sins, the best of the sinners are those who repent
Sunan Al Tirmidhi, Hadith No. 2499
We should never expose our sins to anyone in this world and should ask forgiveness directly from Allah Almighty.
No human has the authority to ask forgiveness on their behalf.
