About this lecture

In this lecture, Abu Usamah covers the first chapter of Al-Imam Al-Dhahabi's *Al-Kabair* (The Major Sins), focusing on shirk (associating partners with Allah) as the gravest of all sins. Drawing on Quranic verses, prophetic hadith, and the concept of dhulm (wrongdoing), he explains why shirk is unforgivable, how it manifests in everyday life, and why correct aqeedah must be the foundation before any other aspect of Islam is addressed. He also discusses a powerful hadith about the future fading of Islam, and the critical importance of tawheed in protecting oneself from eternal punishment.

Abu Usamah was born in New Jersey in 1964. He embraced Islam in 1986 and went onto studying in the Islamic University of Madina for eight years where he graduated from the College of Da'wah and Usool-ad-Din. Abu Usamah has been very active in da'wah since the day he embraced Islam. He has been the Imam of various mosques in the United States and in the United Kingdom. His zeal and eagerness in conveying the true message of Islam has lead him to many parts of the world, delivering lectures and seminars, as well as translating for many scholars and du'aat from the Arab world. Abu Usamah has been blessed in studying with some of the greatest scholars of our time, to name a few, Shaikh Umar Fulaatah at the Rawdah of the Prophets Mosque, Shaikh Muhammad 'Atiyyah Saalim (author of Tafsir 'Adwaa ul-Bayaan'), Shaikh Abdullah Muhammad al-Ghunaymaan, Shaikh Muhammad al-Jaami, Shaikh Saalih al-Fawzaan and many more. He was also very fortunate to have spent two summers in intensive study under Shaikh Ibn Baaz and Shaikh Ibn Uthaymin.
