Question
What is sin and what is difference between sin and crime?
Answer
A sin is committed while violating the rulings of God regarding personal, moral and religious issues. A crime is a sin that is against the rulings of God and is also against the society and the state. The crime is punishable in this worldly social and political system whereas sins are not necessarily punished in this world and will be treated finally and exhaustively in the court of the Almighty on the Last Day.
