Every Sin is Pardonable

Every Sin is Pardonable

According to the verse of the Holy Qur’an and Mutawatir (widely related) traditions all the sins which man commits are pardonable if he repents sincerely. It is wrong to say that such a sin can never be pardoned. The Almighty Allah (S.w.T.) says in the Glorious Qur’an,

“And He it is who accepts repentance from His servants and pardons the evil deeds and He knows what you do.”

(Surah Ash-Shūrā 42:25)

 Allah (S.w.T.) has mentioned His names as:

 1)      Tawwabun (one who accepts Tawba)

2)      Gaffarun (one who pardons)

3)      GhafÅ«run (one who forgives totally)

4)      Ghāfir udh-Dhunuba (Pardoner of sins)

5)      Qābil ut-Tawba (one who accepts repentance)

 Allah (S.w.T.) has given a general invitation to all the people to turn towards Him and seek forgiveness for their sins. If we study the meaning of the 54th verse of Surah az-Zumar we find that sinners have no cause to loose hope. This Ayat is also known as Ayat al-Rahma (The verse of Mercy).

 “Say: O my servants! who have acted extravagantly against their own souls, do not despair of the Mercy of Allah ; Surely Allah forgives the faults altogether; surely He is the Forgiving, the Merciful.”

(Surah az-Zumar 39:53).
