Dosia is the Acehnese word for “sin” or “transgression”. It is listed on 81 with the gloss “zonde”. The term appears in moral verses of the Burda of al‑Bu‑s‑iri, where it is contrasted with berkat (blessing) and taqwa (piety).

Examples from the source include “dosia, zondig (A. ‘as1)” and “bagai‑… allerlei zonden (A. al‑sisyān)”.

Moral usage

In Acehnese Islamic teaching, dosia denotes actions that separate the believer from divine favor, and the Burda frequently exhorts readers to avoid dosia and seek berkat.
