The Classification of Sins into Major & Minor

Surah An-Najm, there is a verse that I want to comment on a little bit. Allah says in the Quran

الَّذِينَ يَجْتَنِبُونَ كَبَائِرَ الْإِثْمِ وَالْفَوَاحِشَ إِلَّا اللَّمَمَ
Those who avoid great sins and shameful deeds, only (falling into) small faults,
[53:32]

the righteous are those who avoid the Kaba-ER avoid the big of the sins and of the evil Deeds, and they don’t have to avoid the إِلَّا اللَّمَمَ , it is allowed a اللَّمَمَ.

so it is as if Allah is categorizing sins in the Quran. Allah is differentiating between sins and Allah is saying that the righteous are those who يَجْتَنِبُونَ كَبَائِرَ الْإِثْمِ وَالْفَوَاحِشَ they avoid kaba-er of the sins and then Allah makes an exception إِلَّا اللَّمَمَ if the righteous commits اللَّمَمَ we’ll translate this in a while that doesn’t negate from them being righteous.
