Chapter 4, Verse 32
اِنۡ تَجۡتَنِبُوۡا کَبَآئِرَ مَا تُنۡہَوۡنَ عَنۡہُ نُکَفِّرۡ عَنۡکُمۡ سَیِّاٰتِکُمۡ وَنُدۡخِلۡکُمۡ مُّدۡخَلًا کَرِیۡمًا ﴿۳۲﴾
English Translation
If you keep away from the more grievous of the things which are forbidden you, We will remove from you your minor evils and admit you to a place of great honour.
If you [a]keep away from the more grievous[594] of the things which are forbidden you, We will remove from you your minor evils and admit you to a place of great honour.
42:38; 53:33.
There is no classification of less or more grievous sins in the Qur’an. The term is rather a relative one. The commission of anything forbidden by God is a sin and the commission of all sins which one finds difficult to avoid is grievous. The meaning of the verse seems to be that if a person avoids doing those things the giving up of which seems difficult and burdensome to him, he will be enabled to get rid of other sins as well. Some scholars interpret the word Kaba’ir (grievous sins) as signifying the last stage of each act of sin. If one restrains oneself from committing the final act, the preliminary ones will be forgiven him.
