50 Dosa Besar Penghancur Amal: Buku Pertama

Every spiritual journey requires clarity: clarity about what nurtures the soul, and clarity about what quietly destroys it. Long before modern discussions on ethics and well-being, Islamic scholars identified the moral forces that strengthen a believer—and the destructive habits that erode even righteous deeds. This book is a doorway into that timeless moral wisdom.

About the Book

50 Dosa Besar Penghancur Amal: Buku Pertama is the Indonesian edition of the renowned ethical treatise Greater Sins by Seyyed Abdul Hossein Dastgheib, a respected scholar known for blending scriptural depth with practical moral insight. Drawing upon Qur’anic teachings, the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his Family), and the guidance of the Imams of the Ahl al-Bayt (ʿa, an honorific meaning ʿalayhim al-salām — “peace be upon them”), this first volume introduces the foundational set of major sins that directly undermine spiritual growth.

Initially translated into English by Syed Athar Husain S.H. Rizvi and then into Indonesian by A. A. Gaos, R. Hikmat Danaatmaja, Ali Yahya, and Ety Triana, this edition preserves the clarity and urgency of Dastgheib’s message. Edited by Handoko and Ety Triana and published by Penerbit Citra, the book presents each sin with scriptural evidence, accessible explanation, and moral reflection—making it an invaluable manual for those seeking a purified heart and a disciplined life.
