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.
