Or do you think that you will enter Paradise while such [trial] has not yet come to you as came to those who passed on before you? They were touched by poverty and hardship and were shaken until [even their] messenger and those who believed with him said, "When is the help of Allāh?" Unquestionably, the help of Allāh is near.
The disbelievers should not think that it is better for them that We give them more time: when We give them more time they become more sinful - a shameful torment awaits them.
Do the people think that they will be left to say, 'We believe,' and they will not be tried?

They said: "We prefer you not over what have come to us of the clear signs and to Him (Allâh) Who created us. So decree whatever you desire to decree, for you can only decree (regarding) this life of the world.
- Surah Taha (Taha) vs 72

"Verily we have believed in our Lord, that He may forgive us our faults, and the magic to which you did compel us. And Allâh is better as regards reward in comparison to your [Fir‘aun’s (Pharaoh)] reward, and more lasting (as regards punishment in comparison to your punishment)."

When they are told, “Do not spread corruption in the land,” they reply, “We are only peace-makers!”

˹Remember˺ when your Lord said to the angels, “I am going to place a successive ˹human˺ authority on earth.” They asked ˹Allah˺, “Will You place in it someone who will spread corruption there and shed blood while we glorify Your praises and proclaim Your holiness?” Allah responded, “I know what you do not know.”

Foreign AffairsRe: Lebanon Sees Deadliest Day Of Israeli Strikes Since The 2006 War by Sterope(f):
Some people will lose their some family members or their whole families today in Lebanon and
the father/brother will stand before their corpses and pray the funeral prayer in tears
they will still wake up tomorrow and observe their 5 daily prayers tomorrow while in anguish and
they will remind themselves "Indeed, we belong to God, and indeed, to Him we return."


Guess how many times this verse or similar appears in the Qur'an. "The life of this world is only amusement and diversion". wink

Enjoy the amusement. This will end one day. because

"We have not granted immortality to any human before you ˹O Prophet˺: so if you die, will they live forever?"


Emco1:
All I can say is that people in Palestinian will be having a fresh air after bombing at least. They have learn one or two from the recent war with the Israeli. Very soon the Lebanese will learn theirs in a hard way. Next is Yemen after they have done with the Lebanon. The Egyptians don't have time for war now not when their country is enjoying steady development.

You are telling me I shouldn't speak to God directly but to speak through a man God that was afraid of death and prayed to God to contact God.

No difference with paganism really. They believe in speaking to lesser gods to reach God. Moses didn't do that, Lot didn't do that, Enoch didn't do that, David didn't do that and I am not about to do that. Thank you.

IslamRe: Want To Join Islam But My Sins Are Too Much. Is Allah’s Mercy Truly Encompassing by Sterope(f): 9:19am On Sep 21, 2024
I understand but not many Muslims are familiar with these verses. A lot of Muslims don't
understand the Qur'an, they defer to their Alfas and reading the Quran in Arabic without understanding what it means.


Almunjid:
Initially, I didn't intend to delve into explaining the context of any verses, as I thought merely mentioning them would suffice. However, you prompted me to elaborate further. I believe Muslims are generally more familiar with these verses, and I didn't feel the need to expatiate on my quotes.

It seems that many non-Muslims who visit Muslim threads on Nairaland aim to derail discussions rather than seek guidance. My intention wasn't to guide anyone either, as only Allah can guide them according to His will (Qur'an 2:272). No matter how extensive your explanations may be, people will not be guided until Allah wills it. When the time is right, a single verse without explanation, or an eye-opening event, may be all it takes to inspire divine guidance.


Salaam!
IslamRe: Want To Join Islam But My Sins Are Too Much. Is Allah’s Mercy Truly Encompassing by Sterope(f):
The earth is the word of God. The heaven is the word of God. Everyone and everything exist because of the word of God. Quran didn't say he was the spirit of God. Jesus's birth isn't more miraculous than the creation of Earth and other miracles that other prophets performed.

The word of God in the Qur'an is referred to as Kunfayakum meaning Be and it is. Either way, Jesus prayed to God in the Bible and he never unequivocally demanded people to worship him. There was no scene in the bible where people bowed to worship him or he asked them to bow to him. Every time you speak about Jesus as God, it is from inference and for a belief so fundamental to your faith, I don't need to infer about who God is.

Quran clearly says nothing comes to earth except as God's servant. Jesus himself spoke as a baby in the Qur'an when he told the rabbis that:

Jesus declared, “I am truly a servant of Allah. He has destined me to be given the Scripture and to be a prophet

He has made me a blessing wherever I go, and bid me to establish prayer and give alms-tax as long as I live,

and to be kind to my mother. He has not made me arrogant or defiant.

Peace be upon me the day I was born, the day I die, and the day I will be raised back to life!

That is Jesus, son of Mary. ˹And this is˺ a word of truth, about which they dispute.

It is not for Allah to take a son! Glory be to Him. When He decrees a matter, He simply tells it, “Be!” And it is!

˹Jesus also declared,˺ “Surely Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him ˹alone˺. This is the Straight Path.”

There was no context in your initial quote, you are just providing the context.

The verse you quoted earlier on was without context and does not provide enough explanation for non Muslims or other Muslims who are seeking guidance.


Almunjid:
Lol. You misunderstood the context. The verse refers to those who die while associating partners with Allah; Allah can forgive other sins but not shirk (associating partners with Him). Abdullah reported that the Prophet, peace, and blessings be upon him, said, "Whoever dies while calling upon a partner besides Allah will enter Hellfire" (Sahih al-Bukhari 4497). However, if they convert to Islam and stop committing shirk, Allah says, "Say to those who have disbelieved [that] if they cease, what has previously occurred will be forgiven for them" (Qur'an 8:38).

We can understand three key points from this:
1. Those who die while associating anything with Allah will be forbidden from entering Paradise and will reside in Hell.
2. Those who repent for their sins, including shirk, will receive Allah's mercy.
3. Those who commit major sins but do not associate anything with Allah are subject to Allah's will. If Allah wills, He may punish or forgive them. If punished, their time in Hell will not be eternal; ultimately, they will find their way to Paradise.


Peace!

It must have been an incredibly impressive feat. In fact, it's surprising that scholars in Rome, Jerusalem etc didn’t document him as a genius for producing the Qur'an.

Just imagine the number of cities and teachers he would have needed to consult to come up with the Qur'an yet none of them recognised or recorded him as a scholar or an exceptional student. I mean his teacher would have clocked that from his writings and imaginations alone. For a man from Mecca, in an era without modern communication like the internet, that is an insane level of work and dedication. It is almost unbelievable.

Feldie:
where did he tell you that? Na your fellow guy man write those things
IslamRe: Want To Join Islam But My Sins Are Too Much. Is Allah’s Mercy Truly Encompassing by Sterope(f):
When he seeks for forgiveness, he talks directly to God.

1. Jesus is a creation. Everything that comes to earth or heaven doesn't come except as a servant of the Almighty . None of the prophets in the bible before Jesus talked about original sin and needing God to come down to save them. They said the same thing prophet Muhammad said, ask God for forgiveness

2. Islam doesn't believe in original sin. Every child is born pure and is starting on a clean slate. I am not going to account for Adam's deeds. No one accounts for the deeds of their fathers or mothers in Islam. God can use us as trials against one another and that is where it ends.

Adam's story was a highlight about the nature of men. Immediately he realised his mistake and asked for forgiveness. He was forgiven and God told him that he has created forgiveness and his messengers as mercies to us. And that is salvation according to Islam





malvisguy212:
your salvation is not secure in Islam. Salvation is something ONLY GOD can do. But in Islam, man can save himself just by doing good work. Hence Jesus tell the Pharisees that even the pagan can do good work. Are they save. ?

In Christianity, we are justified by the finished work of Christ, in the court of God, the devil is the accusers, but Christ is the our defender.

As a Muslim, who is your defender? Muhammad ? The Quran say Muhammad is in hell fire. If you need proof I will give you.

Yes, if you truly repent and don't go back to disbelief
Ekrenji:
All sins including Shirk? Does Allah forgive Shirk too?
IslamRe: Want To Join Islam But My Sins Are Too Much. Is Allah’s Mercy Truly Encompassing by Sterope(f): 7:48am On Sep 21, 2024
He forgives shirk too. Half of your religion started with pagans converting to Islam for goodness sake. That verse is for those who don't seek repentance. Shirk is a major sin.

There are sins that are forgiven without seeking forgiveness because they are expiated by good deeds. For example, each of the 5 daily prayers expatiate minor sins prior to that prayer but not major sins. Shirk or disbelief do not fall under that category unless you ask for forgiveness and you stop straying.

Almunjid:
Verily! Allah forgives not (the sin of) setting up partners in worship with Him, but He forgives whom he pleases sins other than that, and whoever sets up partners in worship with Allah, has indeed strayed far away. (Qur'an 4:116)

There several ways to seek Forgiveness

1. Asking forgiveness, there are prayers from the Qur'an you can say for example some of prophets prayers like Adam's, Musa's, Noah's etc
2. Giving charity with sincere hearts - repay your debts first
3. Kindness and patience to others and keeping family ties
4. Praying sunnah prayers
5. Praying voluntary prayers (nafl)
6. Waking up in the last third of the night and asking for forgiveness
7. Speaking good about people and minding your business
8. Patience with your parents especially your mother (doesn't matter if they are not Muslims)
IslamRe: Want To Join Islam But My Sins Are Too Much. Is Allah’s Mercy Truly Encompassing by Sterope(f):
Why are you to proclaim that someone is bound for hell? This someome that is truly repentant and seeking God's mercy.

If he owes millions of naira and he can't pay them back, he should still write it down and make it known to his family even after he dies. If they can pay it for him, Alhamdulilahi. If not, it doesn't mean he is bound for hell.

Which is why he needs to work on being a better person to others and a better servant to God.

FYI, Allah forgives all sins with true repentance. Where we can make amends, he enjoins that we make those amends. Forgiveness was created as a mercy to people.


"Say, ˹O Prophet, that Allah says,˺ “O My servants who have exceeded the limits against their souls! Do not lose hope in Allah’s mercy, for Allah certainly forgives all sins.1 He is indeed the All-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
Shueld06:
OP said he owe multiple banks…if he owe million of naira , and owe a lot of money to like 100 people, there’s no way he’s going to pay that. There’s no forgiveness for such thing, OP is bound for hell. Allah can only forgive sin done to him, but the sins done to others, I don’t think
So… I don’t think OP need to seek for any forgiveness, does he?

Wahshi killed the prophet's favourite uncle, Hamza. Hind chewed a part of Hamza, which was the worst part for the prophet. Both of them became Muslims years later and Wahshi is known to have been one of the companions of the prophet.


So yes he can still take shahada even if he killed people. However, it doesn't mean justice should not be served even if it were capital punishment unless the victim's
family forgives him.

IslamRe: Want To Join Islam But My Sins Are Too Much. Is Allah’s Mercy Truly Encompassing by Sterope(f):
1. Won't you find it surprising to learn that historical figures like Bilal (a slave when he embraced Islam and the first man who came up with the adhan and was also the first man to call the adhan), embraced Islam before encountering the Prophet Muhammad. Common sense suggests that taking the shahada (profession of faith) extended beyond direct interaction with the prophet. Also, there are many instances where the Prophet commanded his companions to free Muslim slaves. Which is what the Hadith is most likely suggesting.

Additionally, the conclusion of that hadith isn't that the prophet refused to take slaves' allegiance

2. The practice of taking captives on the battlefield as slaves was common in pre and Islamic Arabia. These practices were rooted in historical and cultural practices.

Don't engage again. I won't reply to you.


cue001:
So you want follow a prophet that was a slave trader and his god permitted it? You're a full time Abdool cheesy

Sahih Muslim 1602
Jabir (Allah be pleased with him) reported:

There came a slave and pledg- ed allegiance to Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) on migration; he (the Holy Prophet) did not know that he was a slave. Then there came his master and demanded him back, whereupon Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) said: Sell him to me. And he bought him for two black slaves, and he did not afterwards take allegiance from anyone until he had asked him whether he was a slave (or a free man)

Meeting these people and asking their forgiveness isn't set in stone. Although, it is advisable to ask for their forgiveness as well.

Kamalex2:
Almighty Allah said if you do something bad with me and you asked for forgiveness, emi Allah ni oba alaforinjin and I'm ready to forgive your sin, but the things you do to others people, God says you better settle it with he /she before you dead if he/she forgiving you Alhamdulilah, but if not they will be waiting for you at the entrance in the day of judgment, then you don't have any other choice than to settled them, that's why we need to do a good deeds while we are still alive because of the day of pay back
IslamRe: Want To Join Islam But My Sins Are Too Much. Is Allah’s Mercy Truly Encompassing by Sterope(f):
Please take your shahada as soon as you can, seek for forgiveness from the people you have offended (where you can) and God himself.

As for your debts, please write them down and try to pay them back as much as you can. Let your family know and give instructions for payment after death if you have properties left.

It is advisable in Islam to pay back your debts before you are buried.
