			Doctor Zakkia, next question is,
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:05
			is repentance
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:07
			accepted
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:09
			if the had
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:11
			punishment
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:13
			is not carried out
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:15
			on a person.
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:18
			As I mentioned earlier, that a person should
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:20
			realize that the bounty of
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:23
			Allah His mercy and grace is in abundance
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:24
			and
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:26
			if you commit a crime,
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:28
			if it involves
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:29
			some other people,
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32
			then you have to restore the property back.
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:33
			Like, if you have robbed, then give the
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			wealth back. If you have taken something from
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37
			someone, give it back. But if it is
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			between you and Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, a
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:40
			person should never
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:41
			be dissatisfied.
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:42
			He should never
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45
			think that Allah will not forgive. Whatever sin
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:46
			he may commit, let it be the biggest
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			sin. If he repents
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:49
			sincerely,
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51
			as we mentioned in the last episode, Allah
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:53
			will forgive any sin. But, if he had
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:56
			done some harm to some other human being
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:56
			then, he should
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59
			try and undo it. And Allah says in
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			the Quran, in Surah Al Farqhan, chapter number
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:03
			25, verse number 68
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:06
			And, as for those who do not invoke
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:08
			with Allah any other god or
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:09
			do not
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:11
			take any life
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:14
			of any other human being, unless for a
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:16
			just cause or do not indulge in adultery
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			and for those who do it, for them
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			there is a punishment. Allah continues
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:23
			in the next verses In Surah Al Furqan,
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:26
			chapter 25, verse number 70 As for those
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:29
			who believe and repent and do righteous deeds,
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:30
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:32
			will change
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:33
			the evil
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:35
			thing that he has done. The evil deed
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:37
			he has done to good.
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:39
			So that's the mercy of Allah
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			So, as far as the hadh penalty is
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:43
			concerned,
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:47
			if it is a person who himself knows
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:50
			that he has done a sin, For example,
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:51
			if he has an adultery,
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:53
			so he should repent to Allah Subhanahu wa
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:55
			Ta'ala and ask for forgiveness. It is between
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:57
			him and Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala and
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:01
			it's not required that he should tell to
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:02
			the others
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:04
			because if it's told, then their punishment
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:05
			would be there.
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			Further, it is mentioned in the hadith
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:10
			of Moabta, volume number 2, book of punishment,
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:13
			hadith number 12, the beloved Prophet Musa Rasoolam
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:14
			said
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:15
			that stop
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:17
			committing sins,
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:19
			major sins etcetera
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:22
			and if you commit,
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:26
			you have to conceal it and ask for
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:28
			forgiveness from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. You repent
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30
			and if you disclose it, then we will
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			have to pass the hadith penalty.
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:34
			That means, if the sin is known
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:36
			to the Sultan
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:37
			or the ruler
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:39
			or to a Kardi or to a judge,
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:41
			then it becomes compulsory for that person that
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:43
			he has to pass that penalty that is
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:45
			stolen to death if he had done adultery
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:47
			or any other sin which required the death
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:50
			penalty But if it's not known and the
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:52
			person who has sinned, if it involves some
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:53
			other human being, he should try and undo
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:55
			it If it is involvement between him and
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:57
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'la then he should ask
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:59
			for forgiveness and ask for repentance and he
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:02
			should conceal. It's not a requirement that the
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04
			punishment of Hadh should be given to the
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:07
			person for repentance. But, we have the examples
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:10
			of Ma'ez ibn Malik, who repented and did
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:11
			not mind
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:14
			being killed for Sikk Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:15
			forgave them and the Prophet said that even
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:17
			if you distribute it in the people of
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:17
			Madinah,
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:19
			it will be sufficient for them for you
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:21
			to live. But as a general rule, it's
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			not a requirement that you have to pass
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:24
			the penalty
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:27
			for repentance. If you're exposed, then the penalty
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:29
			is there. If you're not exposed, conceal it
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:30
			and ask for forgiveness
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:33
			and you repent and Insha'Allah Allah will forgive
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:33
			you.
