Farz are those actions ordered by Almighty Allah & are compulsory. Anyone who rejects or denies a Farz becomes out of the fold of Islam. If a person leaves out a Farz without a valid excuse, then that person is a "Faasiq-e-Kabeer" or a great sinner. For example, a person becomes a great sinner by leaving out the Farz Salaat or not fasting in the Month of Ramadaan.
FARZ-E-KIFAAYAH:
Farz-e-Kifaayah are those actions which are compulsory, but if they are performed by a few or a single Muslim, it ends the responsibility of other Muslims. For example, attending the Salaat-ul-Janazah & burial of the dead by a few Muslims removes the responsibility from other Muslims.
WAAJIB:
Waajib actions are those actions which are second to Farz. If a person leaves out a Waajib action then that person commits a great sin. If a person rejects a Waajib action, he or she does not become a Kaafir. For example, if a person leaves out the Eid Salaat, Qurbaani or Sadqa-e-Fitr he or she does not become a Kaafir but is committing a great sin.
SUNNAH:
Sunnah are those actions which have been performed by Sayyiduna Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam). We should also try to follow these actions to get Sawaab.
SUNNAT-E-MU'AKKIDAH:
Sunnat-e-Mu'akkidah are those actions which have been performed by Sayyiduna Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) regularly without a break. A person must perform these actions regularly for, by neglecting these actions, he or she becomes a sinner. For example, performing the two Sunnah of Fajar, or Taraweeh Salaat or using the Miswaak during Wudu are actions that must be done regularly without a break.
SUNNAT-E-GHAIR MU'AKKIDAH:
Sunnat-e-Ghair Mu'akkidah are those actions which were performed by Sayyiduna Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) with occasional breaks. For example, the four Sunnah of Asar & Isha Salaat.
NAFIL OR MUSTAHAB:
Nafil or Mustahab are those actions which are approved by Shariat (Islamic Law). A person who performs these actions will receive Sawaab. If they are neglected then it would not make up a sin.
HARAAM:
Haraam actions are those actions that are clearly forbidden by Almighty Allah. If a person rejects this prohibition, then he or she becomes a Kaafir. One who performs a Haraam act is a great sinner. For example, it is Haraam to gamble, drink alcohol & to eat pork.
MAKROOH:
Makrooh actions are those actions disliked by Shariat.
MAKROOH-E-TAHREEMI:
Makrooh-e-Tahreemi is an action that is close to Haraam & brings punishment to those who do it. It must be avoided.
MAKROOH-E-TANZEEHI:
Makrooh-e-Tanzeehi is such an action that if it is avoided brings Sawaab, but if the action is carried out then there is no punishment.
