Seven Deadly Sins
Shaykh Hamza Yusuf made a very moving speech at ISNA 2007 where he pointed out that when rasoolullah SAW wanted to warn the people against one of the major aims, he would take an extreme example. All of the so-called 7 deadly sins can be explained in such a fashion;
instead of warning against anger, he warned against killing people, instead of warning against lust, he spoke against fornication, instead of focusing on greed he pointed out the evil of devouring the wealth of orphans.
That and the previous post can both be seen in the ISNA speech (Quicktime)
