Doctor Zakkia, next question is,
is repentance
accepted
if the had
punishment
is not carried out
on a person.
As I mentioned earlier, that a person should
realize that the bounty of
Allah His mercy and grace is in abundance
and
if you commit a crime,
if it involves
some other people,
then you have to restore the property back.
Like, if you have robbed, then give the
wealth back. If you have taken something from
someone, give it back. But if it is
between you and Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, a
person should never
be dissatisfied.
He should never
think that Allah will not forgive. Whatever sin
he may commit, let it be the biggest
sin. If he repents
sincerely,
as we mentioned in the last episode, Allah
will forgive any sin. But, if he had
done some harm to some other human being
then, he should
try and undo it. And Allah says in
the Quran, in Surah Al Farqhan, chapter number
25, verse number 68
And, as for those who do not invoke
with Allah any other god or
do not
take any life
of any other human being, unless for a
just cause or do not indulge in adultery
and for those who do it, for them
there is a punishment. Allah continues
in the next verses In Surah Al Furqan,
chapter 25, verse number 70 As for those
who believe and repent and do righteous deeds,
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
will change
the evil
thing that he has done. The evil deed
he has done to good.
So that's the mercy of Allah
So, as far as the hadh penalty is
concerned,
if it is a person who himself knows
that he has done a sin, For example,
if he has an adultery,
so he should repent to Allah Subhanahu wa
Ta'ala and ask for forgiveness. It is between
him and Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala and
it's not required that he should tell to
the others
because if it's told, then their punishment
would be there.
Further, it is mentioned in the hadith
of Moabta, volume number 2, book of punishment,
hadith number 12, the beloved Prophet Musa Rasoolam
said
that stop
committing sins,
major sins etcetera
and if you commit,
you have to conceal it and ask for
forgiveness from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. You repent
and if you disclose it, then we will
have to pass the hadith penalty.
That means, if the sin is known
to the Sultan
or the ruler
or to a Kardi or to a judge,
then it becomes compulsory for that person that
he has to pass that penalty that is
stolen to death if he had done adultery
or any other sin which required the death
penalty But if it's not known and the
person who has sinned, if it involves some
other human being, he should try and undo
it If it is involvement between him and
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'la then he should ask
for forgiveness and ask for repentance and he
should conceal. It's not a requirement that the
punishment of Hadh should be given to the
person for repentance. But, we have the examples
of Ma'ez ibn Malik, who repented and did
not mind
being killed for Sikk Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
forgave them and the Prophet said that even
if you distribute it in the people of
Madinah,
it will be sufficient for them for you
to live. But as a general rule, it's
not a requirement that you have to pass
the penalty
for repentance. If you're exposed, then the penalty
is there. If you're not exposed, conceal it
and ask for forgiveness
and you repent and Insha'Allah Allah will forgive
you.
