Can suicide be forgiven?
When a person kills himself ,he goes to jahannam. Allah says in the Quran: > {Surely Allah does not forgive that anything should be associated with Him, and forgives what is besides that to whomsoever He pleases; and whoever associates anything with Allah, he devises indeed a great sin.} > >(Quran 4...
When a person kills himself ,he goes to jahannam.
Allah says in the Quran:
> {Surely Allah does not forgive that anything should be associated with Him, and forgives what is besides that to whomsoever He pleases; and whoever associates anything with Allah, he devises indeed a great sin.}
>
>(Quran 4: 48)
So my question is,when a person committed suicide,will Allah forgive him if He wants?

If you persist on a minor sin its elevated into a major sin that requires , tawbah? Right? It wont just go away with good deeds/from salah to salah, you must change. I've heard if you delay tawbah it is a sin, and the salvation from this is general tawbah.
How do you do general tawbah? How can you it when it you should step away from everything that led u to **the sins** (not like making tawbah for 1 sin only) if u dont even remember some of the sins and it is unknown to you?
General tawbah when it comes to the creation - how do you fullfill the 4th condition? Give back ALL their rights? Every single thing u might now know of? Ive been able so far to categorize it into *three* ,
These 3:
wealth [stolen, taken, debt]
psyichal harm [m×rder,blood money, qisas]
Buhtan/gheeba/nameemah/ (lying to them/about?) Etc, **what more?**

I believe I may have commited blasphemy as purposely and consciously entertaing blasphemous thought and going on to lengths to ponder further on it but I immediately repented and asked forgiveness from Allah Subhanatallah
Though it was intentional and deliberate but I was not able to think properly at the moment it was like i was frozen and just furthering this thought. It was like I was in control and, at the same time I had no control over it. Its hard for me to explain it but it felt like I knew it ot was wrong disgusting and vile and blasphemous but i was not able to control myself to stop thinking about it like I was actively thinking more about it like generating more scenarios in my mind.It did not felt subconscious but it seemed very apparent that I wanted to think about it but then i quickly snapped out of it and in my heart and also my intention was never to commit a blasphemy but i kept on intentionally and deliberately thinking about it.

Will Allah forgive the Satan (Al-Shaytan/Iblis) if he decided to repent to Allah?

Okay, this has been on my mind the whole day. And after searching the entire internet, articles, youtube videos and what not, I cannot find a legitimate answer anywhere. So, I decided to post the question here myself.
PLEASE NOTE: The question isn't why Allah didn't forgive Iblish when He forgave Adam (AS) and Eve (RA) for their sins. The Question is WILL ALLAH FORGIVE Iblish IF he decides to REPENT TO ALLAH (SWT).
I came across a Dr. Zakir Nayek video during researching and while it did not answer the question (not even close) he mentioned that ***Allah (SWT) has filled Iblish's heart with sins*** (and Allah [SWT] knows the future- yes, undoubtedly). Why would He fill his heart with sins? Isn't it contradicting with the FREE WILL we Mankind and the Jinn possess? What if the Devil finally came to the realization of his horrible mistakes and decided to seek Allah's forgiveness? For indeed Allah is the most Merciful and the most Forgiving, will Allah (SWT) not forgive him? If no then why not?

why would Allah answer duas for someone who doesn’t deserve it
why does Allah always answer my duas if i am not really a good muslim and i do bad things? I am grateful for it but also concerned sometimes because could it be a sign of istidraj?

Unfortunately I have committed sins. Human is weak, we know this.
Recently something had happened which resulted in me turning completely more to my faith (Islam). I am now performing 5x Salah after many years of neglect for one reason or another (and I am very ashamed).
I kept my fast/Ramadan this year, Alhamdulillah, and learning so much more about Islam. I am trying to become a better Muslim and seek forgiveness from Allah in almost every Salah and before I go to bed.
I am worried, tremendously, so much so that I cry hysterically that Allah may not forgive me. When the day comes that I am laid to rest in my grave that I will be tormented because of the sins I have committed.
What can one do to try and make things better for them? How can one better themselves and "wipe" past sins away (if it is possible)? How can one be saved from the torment of the grave? We know that Allah SWT knows best and knows all and knows what we do not know.

If I truly repented for a major sin I had once committed, will it still show up in my records on Judgement Day?
Let’s pretend I do a major sin and then inshallah do a perfect taubah and never do that sin ever again. **Will it still show up in my records on Judgement Day?**

I broke a very serious oath, will I be forgiven
Asalam o alaikum, I am a Muslim(Sunni Hanfi) teenager. I once made an oath to Allah not to commit a sin again(I was baligh then,maybe,but not mentally mature then,this was a long time ago),I said,"Ya Allah!I take a qasam that if I commit this sin again,it is like that I am not your man,I don't have...
Asalam o alaikum,
I am a Muslim(Sunni Hanfi) teenager. I once made an oath to Allah not to commit a sin again(I was baligh then,maybe,but not mentally mature then,this was a long time ago),I said,"Ya Allah!I take a qasam that if I commit this sin again,it is like that I am not your man,I don't have imaan on you". Astaghfirullah.I wasn't mature enough to think over it,I foolishly took the oath.I couldn't stop myself and committed the sin again.Then I was very scared of Allah.I received the Kalmah Tayyibah,performed ghusl,prayed to Allah to forgive me.
This was about three years ago.I ask Allah for forgiveness,to forgive me and count me as one of his pious men,I pray 5 times a day and try to repent and stay away from committing such sin again.I am currently paying kafarah for breaking qssam(3 fasts,as I can't afford anything else).Will my sin be forgiven?Also,will I be accounted for it?As now I see it,I might have been baligh then but not mentally mature and this was such a foolish thing to do.Please help me.
PS:I was 11 or most probably 12 then.Had bit of beard.Had had my first ejaculation.So that's why I think I was baligh.But I wasn't mentally mature.I took such s big step without consideration.

I have committed a huge mistake. I am 12 and have a huge question. In the past, about a year or two ago, I used to talk about zodiac stars (I only just hear about shirk back then and didn't know much of it as I do now) and astrology often and I didn't know really About it at the time bc I thought I could just do it as a hobby, but I realized just now that might have fallen for it and I am frightened that I'm not going to enter Jannah and when I have made Dua so much I don't feel relieved and I find myself with zodiac videos on my for you page and I am so confused and scared. I am on the verge of tears writing this. I also want Allah to forgive all my sins that I made in the past today and future so this cloud of guilt in my head disappears. I am a Sunni and I would love if a Hanafi or Sunni replies. Jazak'Allah Khair

Suppose I have done the sin X - Will Allah forgive me for doing it? What must I do to be forgiven?
**Motivation:** We have a load of questions (see the list at the end) on the site where someone confesses to have committed some sin and asks whether Allah will forgive him or her. I think that all of these questions essentially have the same answer and it is counterproductive to repeat it all the time. The sin itself and the backstory of the one asking the question is largely irrelevant.
**Optional guidelines for an answer:**
Feel free to link to other questions where something is already covered in more depth.
- To what extent can a human speak on behalf of Allah, does one have the permission to say whether Allah will forgive a **specific person**?
- What should a person do after committing a sin? (kaffara, repentance etc.)
- Could a person be forgiven if he has not repented?
- Is it guaranteed that Allah will accept repentance of everyone who repents?

As-salamu alaykum,
I want to repent but I've come across multiple sins to ask forgiveness for. Should I repent once (Salat al-Tawbah) for all of the multiple sins, or should I repent and pray for each sin separately, meaning different individual prayers for each.
Also, how many times should I perform this salat and repent? Everyday, or for a couple of days?
