If
one repents from sins that require restoring
people's rights
without having restored them yet,
may one still be forgiven?
Firstly, you have to understand
that.
And it's this wise I would invite all
of you to learn your Islamic beliefs. Right?
To learn the basics of faith well,
simply, and it's a point of belief
that
Imam Ibrahim Al Hakani says in
whoever dies
not having yet repented
from their sins,
their affair is assigned to their lord.
Right?
If and he continues.
If he will if he wishes, he may
punish by his justice.
And if he
wishes, he will forgive by his mercy. That's
even without
us repenting.
However,
however,
sincere repentance wipes out the sin and that's
a point
of belief.
It's a
It is He, Allah,
who accepts
the repentance of his servants.
Gaafirozemba
abiluttaub.
Right? He is the forgiver
of sins,
the acceptor of repentance.
And, of course, he's also shaded al iqab.
He's also intense in punishment. It's not a
joke. Right?
It's not a free ride.
So we should have conviction of that.
Now if you repent from a sin,
but it relates to the rights of others,
there's 2 components.
Repentance
lifts the sin itself.
What remains is the right.
What remains is the right.
That
that was due. And if you make a
commitment,
right, if you commit
to redressing the wrong, you owed someone
$10,000.
You haven't paid. Now repentance lifts the sin.
The right remains. Then your duty is
to make the commitment
to redress the wrong and then to take
the means
to redress the wrong.
How do you take the the means?
For example, by
if, you know, if you can't
redress the wrong immediately and directly, you do
it gradually. You do it gradually.
You owe someone money, for example, you
ask if we if you can set terms
of repayment.
If you can set terms
of repayment, for example.
If you can set terms of repayment.
And that is
and then if you are taking the means
of repaying
step by step, then you are of those
who
have taken the means of redressing
that wrong,
and you're in the circle
of divine mercy.
So that is
from the mercy of Allah that he gives
us all these many opportunities.
