Based on Islamic sources, consuming interest (Riba) is considered a massive sin, with some narrations suggesting it is worse than zina (fornication/adultery) in terms of severity and spiritual consequences.
A dirham (silver coin) of riba knowingly consumed is worse than committing zina 36 times. Riba has 73 types, the least of which is sleeping with your mother.
If someone commits zina, they risk bringing an illegitimate child into the world who will have no relation to his father for all his life. That is objectively a worse consequence than interest, which is limited to its own transaction. Thirdly, zina has much worse societal consequences than interest does.
According to Sunan Ibn Majah, the Muhammad declared the practice of riba worse than "a man committing zina (fornication) with his own mother". In that hadeeth, he said that there are 70 sins of riba. Of these, the minimum sin is to commit adultery...
Sufyan ibn 'Uyaynah (rahimahullah) says: “In the sight of Allah, backbiting is worse than adultery and consuming alcohol because adultery and consuming alcohol is between you and Allah, if you repent, Allah will forgive you. However backbiting is never forgiven until the person you spoke against forgives you”.
Islam forbids both receiving and paying interest (riba). Many of us can end up accumulating interest through our bank accounts even if we don't want it, so what should we do with it? Since it is not permissible to use riba for one's own benefit, we should donate it to charity.
Zina, alcohol and gambling are all major sins. The most serious of these three major sins is zina. The basic principle is that zina is the worst of the three, then alcohol, then gambling. But it may vary according to the evil consequences that result from it.
Technically, Zina refers to sexual intercourse. However, the steps leading to Zina have also been called Zina in a hadeeth. So, these steps like looking, touching, communicating and so on are haram, and should be avoided.
So, this is an important matter you must address if you are looking for a spouse, and about to get married. If you're a sincere repenter, despair not. Allah will forgive Zina if you sincerely repent, and be committed for the rest of your life.
ikewise it is prohibited to charge any form of interest regardless of whether one party agrees or both agree. A fatwa from Shaikh Salih Al-Munajjid also outlines this by saying, “Mutual consent to commit haram doesn't make it Halal. So accepting interest doesn't make it permissible.
There's no single #1 worst sin; it depends on the religious or moral framework, but pride is often called the root of all evil (Christianity/Islam), while the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit (unforgivable sin) is considered the gravest in the Bible. Other severe sins include child abuse (Catholicism) and sins that "cry to Heaven" (like shedding innocent blood or oppressing the poor).
Yes. He will be completely forgiven. For a sin to be forgiven, the repentance (tawbah) must be sincere. If he returns to the same sin and then repents sincerely again, he will once more be forgiven.
While zina (unlawful sexual relations) primarily refers to intercourse, Islamic teachings describe multiple "types" or degrees, often categorized by the body part involved, including the eyes (lustful looking), ears (listening to lewdness), tongue (seductive speech), hands (touching), feet (walking towards sin), and heart (desire/lust), with the ultimate physical act being the major zina confirmed by the private parts, as detailed in Hadith like that of Abu Hurairah.

Yes, the crescent moon and star (☪️) is widely recognized as a symbol for Islam, appearing on many national flags and representing the faith, but it's important to know it's not an ancient religious symbol from Islam's origins, but rather became popular through the Ottoman Empire and is rejected as a religious symbol by some Muslims who emphasize its pre-Islamic and political roots.
According to Sunan Ibn Majah, the Muhammad declared the practice of riba worse than "a man committing zina (fornication) with his own mother".
The 7 major sins in Islam, often called the "seven great destructive sins," are derived from a Hadith and include: associating partners with Allah (Shirk), practicing magic, unjustly killing a soul, consuming usury (riba), eating an orphan's wealth, fleeing from battle, and slandering chaste, believing women. Avoiding these sins requires sincere repentance and turning to Allah.
The word Allah comes from the Arabic compound al-ilah, meaning "the one God." Historians trace the word's origins back to early Semitic writings in which the word el refers to a god or deity. However, Muslims only use Allah to refer to the one and only God, and must use another term when speaking of a common deity.
