How Five Prayers Erase Your Sins
Riyadul Saliheen: The Expiation of Sins Through Daily Prayers, Friday, and Ramadan - Definition of Major and Minor Sins
Summary
This lecture from the Muslim Community Center of Tucson discusses chapter from Riyadul Saliheen (Gardens of the Righteous) focusing on the virtue of Friday and its obligations, as well as the expiation of sins through the five daily prayers, Friday prayers, and Ramadan fasting. The speaker explains a hadith narrated by Abu Hurairah in which the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) states that the five prayers, Friday to Friday, and Ramadan to Ramadan expiate the sins that fall between them, provided one avoids major sins. The lecture elaborates on the definition of major sins (kabair) versus minor sins (saghair), explaining that major sins are those with specific punishments in Islamic law or those for which the Prophet disassociated himself from the doer, while minor sins are those without such specific designations.

يقولون والراجح عند العلماء عند المحققين ان الكبيره من الذنوب ما كان له عقوبه خاصه به من حد او وصف او عذاب في الدنيا او الاخره sin that come of by being seed et or here this will propes gra the couldn himself like that it is the sin iser to as a type of fuj or f or whoever does it is considered to be a جر اور الفاسق اور ا يكون استبرا منه النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم او قال ليس مني او ليس منا الى اخره من هذه الالفاظ any punishment other designated punishment sin this iser to as a minor sin and So if you understand that that definition and you apply it, you'll be able to rather easily differentiate between major and minor sins. And so when a person refrains from these major sins and fulfills these major obligations one of the merits and the is that it fall between each week. ان يكفر عنا سيئاتنا وان يتوفنا مع الابرار واذا اراد بعباده فتنه ان يقبضنا اليه غير مفتونين والله اعلم وصلى الله وسلم على نبينا محمد.
