Reply to the First Objection
It is Allah (S.w.T.)’s grace that He has not mentioned the total number of Greater Sins in the Holy Qur’an. There is hidden wisdom in this. Let us suppose that the fixed number of Greater Sins had been given in the Qur’an. Then the people would have abstained only from these sins. They would have freely committed other sins thinking that they are not doing anything against the Holy Book. In this way they would, be emboldened to perform all other types of misdeeds. Thus Allah (S.w.T.) has prohibited his creatures to avoid even the lesser sins. This is because if one becomes unmindful of the lesser sins, he will slowly be attracted to the Greater Sins too.
