QUESTION: When it came to Major Sins, why did Allaah تعالى say: اجتنبوا (Ijtaniboo (avoid)), and He تعالى did not say: اتركوا (Atrukoo (leave))?
Examples: Allaah تعالى said:
إِن تَجْتَنِبُوا كَبَائِرَ مَا تُنْهَوْنَ عَنْهُ نُكَفِّرْ عَنكُمْ سَيِّئَاتِكُمْ وَنُدْخِلْكُم مُّدْخَلًا كَرِيمًا
{If you avoid the great sins
which you are forbidden to do, We shall remit from you your (small) sins, and
admit you to a Noble Entrance (i.e. Paradise).}
[Surah al-Nisaa (4): 31]
