الْعَظِيمَةِ the great

An adjective again in the feminine singular to agree with a non-human plural, the way Arabic describes such plurals, and made definite by its al- to match the afflictions. The matching definiteness and ending tie this 'great' specifically to those afflictions, not to anything earlier.

Among them are those who brazenly commit grave sins while having only a limited knowledge of the prohibitions.

الْعَظِيمَةِ grave

An adjective describing the sins as 'grave'. It follows its noun and matches it in gender, number, and definiteness, the Arabic way of fixing an adjective to the right noun by agreement rather than by position alone. Its endings echo those of 'the sins' so the link is unmistakable.
