27. Small vs. Major Sins | Surah An-Najm

Nouman Ali Khan
About this episode
In this episode of Surah An-Najm, Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan points out the dangers of not distinguishing between big and small sins, especially when combined with perfectionism. This can lead to tunnel vision and neglect of important issues. Masking major bad deeds with small good deeds is dangerous and can lead to misunderstandings about Islam's essence. Treating all sins as equal makes it hard to recognize the severity of actions and avoid accountability.
