Muharramat Forbidden Matters Some People Take Lightly

Some Muslims who are either ignorant or of weak faith still commit many acts which Allah never allowed. Ignorance is not an excuse for doing Muharramat, hence is the importance of such books which deal in detail with many Muharramat that should be consciously learnt and consequently never committed.

While ignorance is sometimes cited as an excuse, in matters of religion, it is not a valid justification for engaging in what Allah has clearly prohibited. Islam places great emphasis on seeking knowledge, as it is through knowledge that one distinguishes between right and wrong, lawful and unlawful, virtue and sin. Therefore, it is a personal responsibility upon every Muslim to learn and understand the limits set by Allah and His Messenger (peace be upon him), and to remain conscious of avoiding that which leads to His anger.

This is precisely why books that deal comprehensively with the muharramat are of critical importance. Such works do not merely list the forbidden acts but delve into their wisdom, consequences, and the textual evidence from the Qur’an and Sunnah. They aim to awaken the conscience, educate the mind, and strengthen the heart against temptation. By becoming aware of what is forbidden, Muslims can consciously steer away from it, make sincere efforts toward repentance, and build a life that aligns more closely with the path of righteousness.
