(Why Forbidden?)
1) Shirk: Means taking someone or something as an equal to God. In what? In the actions He does, like: creating, sustaining, providing. Or in ownership: the actions the slave does. Or in Allah's names & attributes. Shirk is the ultimate sin, there's no sin after the Shirk. It's the only unforgivable sin, that Allah doesn't forgive. Allah is the one and only, no one is merely capable of comparison or association with him!
Islam was existed in the first place to take mankind out of ignorance and provide them with a happy, easy, suitable life. Which Allah had chosen for us!
Shirk makes you loose the chance of winning paradise . . I'm saying loose because losing comes after gaining, and this is not for born Muslims or convert Muslims reconverting to other religions, nope. We're all born on instinct, and the true instinct is? Islam. Which means submitting to the will of God.
So literally all human beings have their fair chances in winning paradise, which also says about why Islam doesn't appreciate ignorance/nescience. Not knowing is not alright. We all are supposed to know who we are, and the first step in the search path of: "Who I am?" Comes from: "Who created me?"
2) Zina: Means sexual intercourse outside the marriage bond. In Islam, preserving the honor and lineage is a basic aim. Islam came to protect the honor of the mankind and more precisely the women, after the humiliation and dishonor she got in ignorance (the people living in ignorance) country sources says: children that suffer the most and grow up in an unhealthy environment, are either children of the divorced or children from adultery.
Also the diseases that came along only after adultery has been normal in some countries? like Aids and L.G.V, which as time passes by causes death.
To protect the society, Islam has established clear boundaries, forbidding all sex outside the bond of marriage. That's the reason why illegal sexual intercourse is a major sin.
3) Parents Ingratitude: Allah, the Almighty says: "Worship Allah and do not associate with Him, and to parents do good." Qur'an 4:36
In this verse Allah has given the deed of being kind to parents and taking care of them the secondary position after worshipping Him alone.
"But if they endeavour to make you associate with Me that of which you have no knowledge, do not obey them but accompany them in (this) world with appropriate kindness." Qur'an 31:15
He's the Merciful. In all these verses Allah, the Exalted, has cleared the value of parents and their rights. And in other verses, the Almighty has cleared the severe punishment for who abandoned their parents.
"Do not say: "uff" to them nor rebuke/repeel them, but speak to them with words of respect." Qur'an 17:23
It's the parents' rights to have the best treatment from their children. Inappropriate behavior to parents is injustice oppression with them, and Allah, the glorious have made oppression unlawful for us. Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) once was asked: Who among people is most deserving of my fine treatment? He said: "Your mother," he was asked again and he answered: "Your mother," three times thereupon he said: "Then your father."
4) Usury is strictly prohibited in Islam. It is completely unjust and causes adverse problems in societies like unemployment and destruction of a country's economy. In a place where usury is predominant, the society does not prosper at all because the rich keep on getting richer and the poor keep on getting poorer.
Usury is prohibited because Islam condemns exploitation of people and taking advantage of their disadvantages. Islam establishs justice between the borrower and financer. Taking interest is a lesser form of usury yet it is still prohibited because it is a way that could gradually increase and turn into usury.
5) Islam does not forbid anything in vain unless it harms the human being. It is well known in Islam that God Almighty does not forbid anything from people except for their own good in this world and the hereafter. The prohibition of alcohol does not deviate from this rule. For this reason, alcohol has been prohibited because of it's many harms that may occur after a person drinks it.
Drinking was a common thing in the days of ignorance until Islam gradually forbade it, out of compassion and mercy for people. At the time, people believed that it's prohibition was due to the fact that it was an intoxicant that would leave the mind and negatively affect the relationship between the drinker and those around him, but contemporary scientific research has shown that the effects and consequences of drinking alcohol are deeper than that, extending to include health risks that affect the safety of both the body and the mind.
6) There are "Forbidden Food" in Islam too, based on the way it's killed or grilled, but there are some that are forbidden in every way, no matter how you cook it up it's still forbidden, like: Blood & Intoxicants & Pork. I don't even have to list out the harms & damages these can and do causes to the human body. This makes me more adamant on believing that Islam delivered Allah's care for us. He's truly the Protector & the Best Wisher.
7) Affairs are Forbidden: Islam doesn't forbids Love, Islam is all about Love. Islam forbids the ways of time passing and lack of commitment cheat hearted people activate in the name of love. You Love someone? Go on & tie the knot.
I like how Islam is practical, it doesn't give people idealistic solutions. It gives them realistic solutions. It takes into consideration the realistic temptations of people: Their tendencies, their temperaments, their situations, their difficulties. Allah did not send Islam to angels, He sent it to us; Human beings.
Let's face it here: There's no way to know for a fact what type of person you're going to marry until you actually marry them. In fact, psychologically speaking: dating will not do you much favors, nor will it help you know that person more; instead it'd help them make a better impression on you. Marriage makes a couple "responsible" instead of making them clouded with unsorted emotions.
I remember watching a video one or two years ago of an interview where someone said they disagree with dating, because it's a relationship built on no rights! It gives people the quality, and the thinking and the learning that: if it doesn't work you can just get up and leave. You're not tied up. You haven't committed. Ayyy, that's cool, isn't it? Dating can't really prepare you for Marriage, it makes marriage sound so less worthy than it actually is.
If I bring it collectively: As a society, are we moving deeper into marriage crisis? Or are we getting better because we've loosened restrictions and so on so forth. Right whether it's the Muslim world or the Western world or whatever, because there were certain decency things, culture norms from a decency perspective that were in place even in the non-Muslim world, in the secular world and there is crisis in every part of the world in this regard.
8) Suicide: It's reprehensible and a major sin. Muslims can't kill themselves because Allah (swt) has forbidden this, when He said in the Qur'an chapter 4 verse 29: "And do not kill yourselves, indeed Allah is the Most Merciful to you." So our souls are very expensive and precious that we must protect it and not kill ourselves, because Allah is the only one who has the right of taking our souls, for He is the one who provided it.
Honestly? Even if I talk on the emotional or the mental side: I'd say it's comforting for suicide to be "forbidden" in Islam and not just a "wrong doing" that I can patch somehow. There's no logical sensible points that could proof suicide to be a good or better option. This makes me feel: Allah cares for me + Islam makes things better and easier for me. A religion that forbids suicide sounds so safe and real and right, like a close person protecting me from hurting myself or really, dooming myself.
9) Gambling: It wrecks homes and no one should disagree on this. There's no talent or experience that could pay off when playing, so it makes a person loose hundred times more than gain. We believe it bubbles a motion of self humiliation. It makes people pass within each other enmity & hate because of the ways they trick to cheat money. It makes the players become ill mannered with ugly habits which leads to other forbidden deeds from the effects it has on one's personality & lifestyle.
10) Drugs & Weeds: Everyone knows the answer to this. It's obvious and applys on everyone & everything & everywhere. The world (Islam) is all about consequences, if a person wasn't mentally present, how'd it work? Mind numbness is the answer. According to us, there's 120 harms & outcomes of Drugs & Weeds, be it religiously or secularist. Some of them are: It makes the mindset filthy. Dries humidity. Exposes the body to diseases. Inherits Amnesia. Serious headaches. Cuts eugenics & semen (or dries it). Inherits sudden death. Mind disruption & corruption. Tuberculosis (TB). Edema. Revealing secrets. Lack of modesty & chivalry. Leads to indecent exposure. Income damages. Leprosy. Hansen's Disease. Peccant continously. Thrills. Stinky mouth/breathe. Blood burn. Could inherit vehemence. Lack of jealousy. Liver diseases. Laziness. Failure. Rotates the strong into disgrace & the healthy into illness. Eating never leads to satiety & receiving never leads to contentment. No listening if talked to. Makes the fluent into dumb & the righteous into blurriness. Cuts out acumenity & welcomes imprecation. Losses control over everything.
11) Instruments & Music:

12) Energetic: I personally hate this . . The whole subject of "attracting" is illogical. Inanimates can only fool you. "Lemme have a snake shaped trophy on my study table and you'll see how I become poisoning in school~" or "Lemme wear three hair clips everyday and you'll see how my head becomes three times bigger~" Come on! Really? That can not be our level as humans. We rule this world, the earth is made for us, how come we don't appreciate it at all? And sound like ungrateful/disagreeing as our actions speaks for us when we go around giving objects more value than our inner selves? Letting objects or animals control us like we have no brains running for us? Yes, my answer might not be "professional" or "religious" but this is how this topic should be treated. + It goes back to Buddhism, which is Shirk.
13) Homosexuality: LGBT-oriented men and women may not choose their attractions, but, short of force, they do choose their sex partners. From a national health perspective, the issue is not the origins of homosexual or LGBT orientation, but the consequences of engaging in such sexual activity.
Dr. J. Satinover documents that homosexuals lose twenty-five to thirty years of their lifespan. Gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, HIV/AIDS, STDs including Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, other sexually transmitted infections, enteric infections and disease, cancers, alcoholism, anxiety, suicidality, obesity, hepatitis of various forms, domestic violence, psychiatric disorders, having more than one psychiatric diagnosis, substance use disorders were specified and numerous other causes are listed.
In conclusion: Though people generally do not choose their sexual orientation, they do choose the people with whom they have intercourse, save for cases of coercion or violence. One’s sexual orientation will not protect one from the consequences of same-sex sexual behavior, and those consequences can and do affect the population at large. Increased societal acceptance of same-sex sexuality has not thus far proved helpful in reducing the negative health consequences of those sexual practices.
Those who challenge the normalcy and equivalence arguments of LGBT advocates are predictably met with the jamming tactic of being labeled bigots, haters, and homophobes so as to pre-empt reasonable debate. Disagreeing with LGBT sexual practice is neither hatred, harassment, phobia, nor violence, but the expression of opinion firmly grounded in medical literature.
- Allah forbids the Harmful.
14) Tattos: According to the German magazine Stern, tattoos usually cause wounds that may become contaminated. In addition, it can cause transmission of infectious viruses to tattoos such as hepatitis and HIV, especially if hygiene rules are not strictly adhered to, and the inks and dyes used. Some of them are suspected of causing cancer. Especially since some tattoo parlors use dyes that are not intended for human use. Rather, these dyes are used in car paint or furniture. Tattoos penetrate the skin, which causes skin infections and other possible complications include: Allergic reactions. Tattoo pigments. Can cause allergic skin reactions such as an itchy rash in the area of the tattoo. This can appear several years after getting a tattoo. + One thing that is enough to let you know how harmful it is: You can't donate your blood if you have Tattoos on your body = Your blood becomes Dirty.
15) Islam is all about crossing out hypocrisy & cheating & defamation & lies, which Magic & Astrology is all about.
16) Tabarruj: It's an Arabic word. I tried to translate it or come up with a similar meaning: Indecency, not personality wise, but exterior appearance wise. I have been saying this since day one: Islam is considered. Islam is caring. If there's something forbidden, then the things & ways that leads to it is also forbidden. Sex wise? This is one of the points to protect you from falling into Zina. Emotion wise? This is one of the points to protect you from desire battles. Mental wise? This is one of the points to protect you from thought damages. Lifestyle wise? This is one of the points to protect you from deviation.
