[05] Surah Al-Ma'idah [The Table Spread With Food]
Ayat 39. But whosoever repents after his crime and does righteous good deeds (by obeying Allah), then verily, Allah will pardon him (accept his repentance). Verily, Allah is Oft Forgiving, Most Merciful.
Tafseer of Surah Al Ma'idah Ayat 39. But if the thief repents after his crime with true heart and self-determination not to repeat it and amends his conduct with right deeds, devoutness and piousness, Allah turned to him in forgiveness; for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
English Translation of Hadith
Hazrat Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) said, "Allah, the Exalted, has said: `O son of Adam, I forgive you as long as you pray to Me and hope for My forgiveness, whatever sins you have committed. O son of 'Adam, I do not care if your sins reach the height of the heaven, if you come to Me with an earth load of sins, and meet Me (without committing Shirk) associating nothing to Me (Allah), then you ask for my forgiveness, I would forgive you.''
[At-Tirmidhi].
Lesson: as mentioned above in Surah Al-Ma'idah Ayat 39. But whosoever repents after his crime and does righteous good deeds (by obeying Allah), then verily, Allah will pardon him (accept his repentance). Verily, Allah is Oft Forgiving, Most Merciful. 1. What it really means is that if sins of a Muslim, committed in ignorance and carelessness, become so numerous that in stacks touch the heights of skies, he should not lose hope in Allah's Mercy. If he repents wholeheartedly for his sins, makes penitence for them and begs Allah's forgiveness, he will certainly find Allah's Mercy open for him. 2. Shirk (polytheism) is an absolutely unpardonable sin. All other sins, how many and how grave they may be, can be forgiven by Allah. He will pardon them if He likes and send the sinful persons straight to Jannah, or keep them for a while in Hell and then shift them to Jannah. In any case, the punishment of Hell will not be eternal for them, as it is for the Mushriks (polytheist).
