If you haven't sought forgiveness and it's a minus and and you continue to do good deeds, I will automatically wipe out those minuses but if it is a major sin, and the major sin is that sin we're in Allah has stipulated a punishment for it in this world and the next and Allah has spoken about how severe it is, that becomes a major sin. Those who engage in major sin would require a specific repentance in order to be forgiven. So you can't just say, Oh ALLAH forgive all my sins that I've committed, knowing that you committed major sins. You've got to say, oh, Allah, I did this on that day. I'm confessing to you alone. I regret it. I admit my sin. I
asked you to forgive me and I promise you, I'm not going to do it again. The minute all those four conditions are met, immediately the first time you asked Allah forgiveness for that sin, you were forgiven, you are taught to repeat the act of repentance again and again, in order to elevate your status and to become closer to Allah. Not because you're doubting the mercy of Allah subhanho wa Taala. So Allah subhanho wa Taala says, in that verse number 160, of Sula to the Nam, will home leave us alone, they will never be oppressed. Trust me, my brothers and sisters. The comfort Allah gives us is such that he's looking for any excuse to show you his mercy. He's looking for any excuse
