- Shirk (Associating partners with Allah): The greatest sin in Islam, involving worshiping others alongside Allah or attributing divine powers to anyone else.
- Sorcery/Witchcraft (Magic): Engaging in or seeking magic, which often involves communicating with jinn and worshipping entities other than Allah.
- Killing an Innocent Soul (Murder): Taking a life that Allah has forbidden, except for a valid, justifiable cause through legal means.
- Consuming Riba (Usury/Interest): Engaging in interest-based financial transactions, which is severely condemned as an act of injustice and economic exploitation.
- Consuming the Wealth of an Orphan: Misappropriating or wasting the property of orphans, as they are defenseless and under special divine protection.
- Fleeing from the Battlefield: Deserting one's post during a rightful, defensive military engagement, which places fellow believers in danger.
- Slandering Chaste, Innocent Women: Falsely accusing pious, unsuspecting believing women of immoral actions (e.g., adultery) without proof.
