  • Rights Of Other And Forgiveness By Allah

    Posted by Khalid Sohail on April 15, 2025 at 12:09 pm

    You said in one if your vlogs that Allah won’t forgive violations of others’ rights unless the victims forgive, but there’s a well-known hadith about a man who killed 99 people, then sought forgiveness and was ultimately forgiven by Allah. I’m wondering—does this hadith contradict what you mentioned, or am I misunderstanding something?

    Principles are not compromised for individual reports. The reports have to be interpreted according to the principle or they have to be rejected because they might be misreported.

    The report is not reported directly from the prophet which means the narrator doesn’t claim that he heard it from the prophet. This kind of hadith is called Mawqoof.

    The hadith seems to be a well-conceived story narrated from Bani Israel by someone and wrongly ascribed to the prophet. This happens in some reports.

    Dear Dr. Shahzad,

    Thank you for your detailed explanation. I fully understand and respect the importance of adhering to principles when evaluating hadiths.

    However, I’d like to seek some clarification on a related point. Suppose someone wronged another person, realized their mistake later, genuinely regretted it, and sincerely turned to Allah asking for forgiveness—does that mean they won’t be forgiven?

    From my understanding, Allah’s mercy is vast and covers all sins for those who sincerely repent. For example, in Surah Al-Furqan (25:70), Allah says:

    “Except for those who repent, believe and do righteous work. For them Allah will replace their evil deeds with good. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful.”

    Additionally, in Surah Az-Zumar (39:53), Allah clearly states:

    “Say, O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful.”

    And in Surah Al-A’raf (7:156), He says:

    “My mercy encompasses all things.”

    These verses reinforce my hope that if someone repents sincerely—even after hurting someone—Allah’s mercy can still reach them.

    I would really appreciate your insights on this.
