025.068T hose who invoke not, with Allah, any other god, nor slay such life as Allah has made
sacred except for just cause, nor commit fornication; - and any that does this (not only)meets punishment .
y The foundation of sins, the small of them and the great, is three:y 1-Shirk , associating partners with Allah (swt), which is the heart s attachment to other
than Allah (swt).y 2- Dhulm, oppression and injustice, which is from obeying the furious rage in the hearts.y 3- Fawahish , indecency and illicit acts, which is from the strong desires and lusts.
y The height of Shirk is to worship others besides Allah (swt). The height of rage is killing.The height of lusts is fornicating. This is why Allah (swt) has combined these three inone ayah.
y These sins lead to each other. Associating partners with Allah ( shirk ) leads to oppressionand injustice ( dhulm ) and immorality ( fawahish ), just as sincerity ( ikhlas ) and Onenessof Allah ( tawheed ) wipes them out.
