الفسق
40 verses in 15 surahs · 10 subtopics
Departing from Allah’s command: such is the meaning of sinfulness (fisq) in these verses. The Quran applies the term to disbelief and hypocrisy, notes that the defiantly disobedient are many, that they are deprived of Allah’s pleasure and guidance, and that their end is evil. The verses warn against it during Hajj, reject the testimony of the sinful, and show that fisq heralds the ruin of nations.

وَإِذَآ أَرَدْنَآ أَن نُّهْلِكَ قَرْيَةً أَمَرْنَا مُتْرَفِيهَا فَفَسَقُوا۟ فِيهَا فَحَقَّ عَلَيْهَا ٱلْقَوْلُ فَدَمَّرْنَٰهَا تَدْمِيرًا ١٦
And when We intend to destroy a city, We command its affluent but they defiantly disobey therein; so the word [i.e., deserved decree] comes into effect upon it, and We destroy it with [complete] destruction.
إِنَّا مُنزِلُونَ عَلَىٰٓ أَهْلِ هَٰذِهِ ٱلْقَرْيَةِ رِجْزًا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَفْسُقُونَ ٣٤
Indeed, we will bring down on the people of this city punishment from the sky because they have been defiantly disobedient."
