Allah Accepts Repentance and Forgives

Those Who Feel Remorse

Allah, Who possesses infinite forgiveness, reveals that:
If Allah were to punish people for their wrong actions, not a
single creature would be left on Earth. However, He defers
them until a predetermined time. When their specified time ar-
rives, they cannot delay it for a single hour, nor can they bring
it forward. (Surat an-Nahl, 61)

Even while you are reading this book, Allah has allotted a spe-
cific period of time for you and all other people. This is a most ben-
eficial period for the believers. Every person who fears, respects, and
obeys Allah and then turns to Him in repentance for every sin that
he or she has committed will receive forgiveness, as long as they are
sincere. Allah's infinite compassion is revealed in the following
verse:

Were it not for Allah's favor to you and His mercy... and that
Allah is Ever-Returning, All-Wise. (Surat an-Nur, 10)
Since Allah is the possessor of infinite mercy, there is always the
hope of forgiveness. Our Lord gives the opportunity of salvation to
each person as long as he or she is alive, and has made everyone
aware of this fact. Despite all of Allah's blessings and mercy, those
who forget Him or lead a life without thinking about their reliance

upon Allah are, in reality, in a state of absolute heedlessness. Unable
to appropriately acknowledge Allah's mercy, love, and blessings in
this life, they will be punished in the Hereafter.
