The Most Enormous Sin. Allah, ta^ala, said in Surat An-Nisa’, Ayah 48: Innallah la yaghfiru ayyushraka bihi wa yaghfiru ma duna dhalika liman yasha’. This Ayah means: {Allah does not forgive associating partners with Him and He forgives what is less than that to whomever He wills.} Blasphemy is the opposite of belief and it is the sin that Allah does not forgive if one dies without repenting from it. Blasphemy is three categories: 1.Blasphemy of convictions. Examples of blasphemy of convictions: believing that Allah occupies the heavens or believing that He is a soul or an illumination or has a shape. 2.Blasphemy of actions. Examples of blasphemy of actions: knowingly throwing the Book of Qur’an or Islamic books in the garbage. 3.Blasphemy of sayings. Examples of blasphemy of sayings: cursing Allah, one of the angels, one of the prophets, or the Religion of Islam. May Allaah protect us from All kind of Blasphemy. To become muslim is an easy matter: One believes in ones heart in the meaning of the Testification of Faith and utters it with ones tongue--either in Arabic or any other language (Even one knows Arabic) In English, one says: I testify that no one is God except Allaah and ( i testify) that Muhammad is the messenger of Allaah TO BELIEVE IN ALLAAH AND HIS MESSENGER ﷺ Among the obligations of the heart is to believe in Allaah and what Allaah revealed, and to believe in the Messenger of Allaah ﷺ and what he conveyed. Explanation: Every accountable person1 has to have the correct belief in Allaah. This means for one to believe firmly in ones heart that Allaah is One without any partner, nothing resembles Allaah, Allaah is the Creator of everything, and Allaah is the One Who controls the entire creation. Nothing occurs unless Allaah Willed for it to occur and nothing exists unless Allaah brings it into existence, i.e. creates it. This is the best and most important obligation -- to believe properly in Allaah. Just as it is an obligation to believe in Allaah, one has to believe in what Allaah revealed. This means that one has to believe in what Allaah revealed to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. In believing in what was revealed to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, one must have the firm belief in their heart that all of what Allaah revealed to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is true. One cannot object to that and one must completely submit to the truthfulness of the religion of Islaam. Every accountable person also has to have the correct belief in Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. This means that one must revere Prophet Muhammad ﷺ in the proper way without attributing to him things that do not befit him and without giving him a status which is higher than his status ﷺ. One has to believe in what the Prophet ﷺ conveyed from Allaah. So, if someone says, I believe in Allaah and I believe in Prophet Muhammad ﷺ but I do not believe in the truthfulness of such-and-such rule with which the Prophet ﷺ conveyed, then this person is not a believer. He is not a Muslim, even if he claims to be a Muslim, because if one claims that the Prophet ﷺ conveyed even one thing which was not truthful, then he is belying the Prophet ﷺ. The one who belies the Prophet ﷺ is not a true believer in the Prophet ﷺ; such a person is a disbeliever.
