The Difference Between Prohibited, Obligatory, and Recommended

Question
What is the difference between prohibited, obligatory, and recommended?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The forbidden (haram) is sinful if acted upon, the obligatory (wajib) is sinful if neglected, and the recommended (mustahabb) is rewarded if acted upon, and there is no sin in neglecting it. And God knows best.
