The major sins in the Quran include: shirk (associating partners with Allah), qatl (murder), sihr (magic), salah (not performing obligatory prayers), zakat (withholding obligatory charity), zina (fornication and adultery), shahada zuhur (false testimony), sariqa (stealing), riba (consuming wealth acquired through usury), and yateem (consuming the property of an orphan). The Quran emphasizes the importance of seeking forgiveness for one's sins and that repentance is always possible.
Here are some relevant verses from the Quran that mention these major sins:
Shirk (associating partners with Allah)
"And it has already been revealed to you in the Book that when you hear the verses of Allah [recited], they are denied [by them] and ridiculed; so do not sit with them until they enter into another conversation. Indeed, you would then be like them. Indeed Allah will gather the hypocrites and disbelievers in Hell all together." (Quran 4:140)
"Indeed, Allah does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills. And he who associates others with Allah has certainly gone far astray." (Quran 4:116) - This verse emphasizes that associating partners with Allah is a major sin that is not forgiven by Allah, and that those who commit this sin have gone astray.
Qatl (murder)
"Because of that, We decreed upon the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land - it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one - it is as if he had saved mankind entirely. And our messengers had certainly come to them with clear proofs. Then indeed many of them, [even] after that, throughout the land, were transgressors." (Quran 5:32)

"And they followed [instead] what the devils had recited during the reign of Solomon.

But the two angels do not teach anyone unless they say, "We are a trial, so do not disbelieve [by practicing magic]." And [yet] they learn from them that by which they cause separation between a man and his wife. But they do not harm anyone through it except by permission of Allah. And the people learn what harms them and does not benefit them. But the Children of Israel certainly knew that whoever purchased the magic would not have in the Hereafter any share. And wretched is that for which they sold themselves, if they only knew." (Quran 2:102)

But Allah has permitted trade and has forbidden interest. So whoever has received an admonition from his Lord and desists may have what is past, and his affair rests with Allah. But whoever returns to [dealing in interest or usury] - those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide eternally therein." (Quran 2:275)
"O you who have believed, fear Allah and give up what remains [due to you] of interest, if you should be believers.
