00:00:03 --> 00:00:06 
			The next question, my name is Sohrab.
00:00:07 --> 00:00:08 
			I am a student and live in USA.
00:00:09 --> 00:00:11 
			I had a question that I hope you
00:00:11 --> 00:00:12 
			can give the answer.
00:00:13 --> 00:00:16 
			If God forgives everyone's sin, what if a
00:00:16 --> 00:00:20 
			person do all good deeds, but at exchange
00:00:20 --> 00:00:25 
			only wants from God to forgive Iblis, Satan.
00:00:25 --> 00:00:26 
			Is this wish acceptable?
00:00:27 --> 00:00:29 
			If not, then what the promise that God
00:00:29 --> 00:00:32 
			gives us that he will accept any dua.
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35 
			The question posed by Sohrab is, that if
00:00:35 --> 00:00:38 
			Allah is going to accept every dua he
00:00:38 --> 00:00:39 
			has given the promise.
00:00:39 --> 00:00:41 
			So if you do good deeds and will
00:00:41 --> 00:00:44 
			tell Allah to forgive Iblis, will he forgive
00:00:44 --> 00:00:44 
			Iblis?
00:00:45 --> 00:00:47 
			If he doesn't, then Allah hasn't kept his
00:00:47 --> 00:00:47 
			promise.
00:00:48 --> 00:00:51 
			Point number one, nowhere does Allah anywhere in
00:00:51 --> 00:00:54 
			the Quran or any authentic Hadith says that
00:00:54 --> 00:00:55 
			he will accept all your dua.
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57 
			It is your wrong concept.
00:00:57 --> 00:00:58 
			It's a misconception that you have.
00:00:59 --> 00:01:02 
			What Allah says that if you truly repent,
00:01:03 --> 00:01:05 
			then Allah will forgive anything of yours.
00:01:05 --> 00:01:10 
			So however much big sin you do, as
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12 
			long as you repent sincerely with your heart,
00:01:12 --> 00:01:13 
			Allah will forgive you.
00:01:14 --> 00:01:19 
			So that's the reason that if a person
00:01:19 --> 00:01:22 
			sins, he truly repents.
00:01:22 --> 00:01:23 
			He asks for forgiveness.
00:01:24 --> 00:01:25 
			Stop what he is doing.
00:01:25 --> 00:01:26 
			Agree it is wrong.
00:01:26 --> 00:01:27 
			Never does it again.
00:01:27 --> 00:01:29 
			Allah will surely forgive him.
00:01:29 --> 00:01:32 
			But here your question is that if I
00:01:32 --> 00:01:35 
			do good deeds, and I ask Allah to
00:01:35 --> 00:01:38 
			forgive Iblis, nowhere does Allah say that Allah
00:01:38 --> 00:01:40 
			will fulfill all your duas.
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43 
			If Iblis would have repented to Allah and
00:01:43 --> 00:01:45 
			says he is sorry, he will never do
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47 
			it again, Inshallah Allah will forgive him.
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49 
			But Allah knows Iblis is not going to
00:01:49 --> 00:01:49 
			do that.
00:01:49 --> 00:01:50 
			We know that.
00:01:51 --> 00:01:52 
			So where is the question?
00:01:52 --> 00:01:54 
			And you saying that you do good deeds
00:01:54 --> 00:01:57 
			and ask Allah to forgive Iblis, nowhere does
00:01:57 --> 00:01:58 
			Allah say that he is going to believe
00:01:58 --> 00:01:59 
			in all your duas.
00:02:00 --> 00:02:02 
			Allah will forgive your sin if you truly
00:02:02 --> 00:02:04 
			repent and you compensate, Allah will forgive.
00:02:05 --> 00:02:06 
			But that doesn't mean that you do some
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08 
			good deeds and you ask Allah to forgive
00:02:08 --> 00:02:08 
			Iblis.
00:02:08 --> 00:02:12 
			This is not there anywhere and this is
00:02:12 --> 00:02:12 
			a misconception.
00:02:13 --> 00:02:14 
			Hope that answers the question.
