It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever comes in such a state that he worships Allah, does not associate anyone with Him, establishes prayer, pays zakat, fasts in the month of Ramadan, and avoids major sins, then for him is Paradise. The people asked, "What is meant by 'major sins'?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Associating anyone with Allah, killing a Muslim, and fleeing from the battlefield.
