Seven Destructive Sins (Pocketsize)

Seven Destructive Sins (Pocket-Size) is a concise, compelling guide that outlines the seven major sins which, according to authentic Hadith, lead a believer astray if not avoided. This pocket-size booklet simplifies complex theological and moral teachings into a digestible format, making it ideal for both everyday reference and deep reflection. It emphasizes that major sins are not mere scholarly concerns, but practical matters that affect one’s standing with Allah, community life, and longevity of one’s Iman (faith).

Inside, the reader will find scriptural evidence from the Qur’an and Sunnah defining these destructive sins: for example, associating partners with Allah (Shirk), murder without right, consuming interest (Riba), consuming an orphan’s wealth, fleeing from the battlefield, false testimony, and slandering chaste women (or equivalent sins as enumerated in major hadiths). For each sin, there are explanations of its gravity, its consequences both in this world and the Hereafter, and practical steps to avoid falling into them.

This booklet also includes reminders, du’as (supplications), and reflective questions to help the believer examine their life and take corrective actions. Its compact size makes it perfect to carry in one’s pocket, purse, or within a travel bag—so that one may always be reminded. It serves students, new Muslims, or anyone seeking to purify their heart and safeguard their faith by steering clear of the gravest sins, as emphasized by the Messenger ﷺ and the scholars of Ahlus Sunnah.
