WHAT DOES HARAM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Haram

Ḥarām or Haraam is an Arabic term meaning sinful. In Islamic Jurisprudence, haram is used to refer to any act that is forbidden by Allah, and is one of five الأحكام الخمسة that define the morality of human action. Acts that are haram are typically prohibited in the religious texts of the Quran and the Sunnah. The category of haram is the highest status of prohibition. Islam teaches that a haram act is recorded by an angel on the person's left shoulder. If something is considered haram, it remains prohibited no matter how good the intention is or how honorable the purpose is. A haram is converted into a gravitational force on the day of judgement and placed on mizan. Views of different madhabs can vary significantly regarding what is or is not haram.
