mannat 0 Posted December 7, 2010 Shaykh ul Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, may Allah have mercy on him, said: The punishment for a sin committed by a believer is removed in ten ways: 1.He repents to Allah (taubah), so Allah accepts his repentance, for the one who repents from sin is like the one who has no sin. 2.He seeks forgiveness from Allah (istighfar), so Allah forgives him. 3.He does good deeds that erase his sin for good deeds erase bad ones. 4.His believing brethren pray for him or seek forgiveness for his sins during his life or death. 5.Or they [ask Allah] to bestow on him as gift from the reward for their deeds, with which Allah benefits him. 6.His Prophet Muhammad, sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam, intercedes for him. 7.Allah tests him with trials in this world which expiate his sin. 8.Allah tests him in al-Barzakh (the intermediate life in the grave, between the death and the Day of Judgment) which expiates his sin. 9.Allah tests him in the various stages of the Day of Judgment which expiates his sins. 10.Or the Most Merciful of those who have mercy has mercy on him. Whoever, then, is missed by these ten cannot blame anyone but himself. so where do we stand??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mannat 0 Posted December 7, 2010 The Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W.) said, “A servent of God says: O God! Forgive me. But God turns away from him. Again he will say: O God! Forgive me. God turns away from him the second time. The man again says:O God! Forgive me. Here God says to the Angels: Don’t you see My servent? He asked Me for forgiveness while I was turning away from him. He askekd for forgiveness for the second time. I turned away from him again. He asked for forgiveness for the third time. My servent realized that no one but Me forgives the sins. I take you as witness that I have forgiven him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
