Tom Facchine – How Islam Classifies Sins

			So there's different types of sin in Islam.
		

			Okay. So major sins are the ones that
		

			require
		

			specific repentance from.
		

			Minor sins, they get erased automatically from prayer
		

			to prayer, from fast to fast, you know,
		

			these sorts of things.
		

			And so people can be affected by West
		

			West when this happens. Right? And there's famous
		

			examples that people already know about, you know,
		

			with and stuff like that or with your
		

			prayer. You might do one prayer 7 times
		

			and, like, oh, well, I've did I forget
		

			something? You can have the same sort of
		

			West West when it comes to repentance.
		

			And I've seen this. You know? So
		

			some people come with, like, oh, well, did
		

			I make a
		

			direct plea for forgiveness for this particular thing
		

			that I did or or this thing or
		

			that thing? You know?
		

			And yeah. I mean, there there's a balance.
		

			Right? Because
		

			it's not just about feeling regret. If you
		

			have a major sin,
		

			then you need to specifically repent from it.
		

			And
		

			regret is part of that repentance, but it's
		

			not all of it. Right? And there's another
		

			dimension if you have affected somebody else, then
		

			even those two things are not necessarily enough.
		

			You have to fix it too. Right? Allah
		

			says in Surat Al Anaim, he says,
		

			Right? Like who you repents and fixes it.
		

			Right? And so all these sorts of ingredients
		

			are important. So you need to differentiate. You
		

			need to be balanced. You can't fall on
		

			the side of West West
		

			where you're now second guessing every single part
		

			of your repentance for every single little thing.
		

			No.
		

			A major sin requires a specific act of
		

			of repentance. And if it affected somebody else,
		

			you have to try to make it right
		

			with that person or whatever you did.
		

			But then at the same time, yeah, there's
		

			other sins that are minor sins that get
		

			erased automatically, you know, that that and that's
		

			the mercy of Allah.
