00:00:01--> 00:00:03

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

you.

00:03:31--> 00:03:33

you.
