  • Regarding Sins That Are Forgiven

    Posted by Torik Kaddafi on June 29, 2026 at 1:55 pm

    I have two questions about the forgiveness of sins. I understand the concept that if we avoid major sins, our minor sins will be forgiven I understand that. I want to ask: what happens when someone commits a major sin and immediately repents?

    1. My first question: If someone commits a major sin and then repents, will their minor sins also be forgiven in the afterlife? Even though they have committed a major sin and repented.

    My second question will follow once this one is answered

    1۔ it is clearly mentioned:

    إِنَّمَا التَّوْبَةُ عَلَى اللَّهِ لِلَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ السُّوءَ بِجَهَالَةٍ ثُمَّ يَتُوبُونَ مِن قَرِيبٍ فَأُولَٰئِكَ يَتُوبُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ ۗ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمًا

    But God undertakes to accept repentance only from those who do evil out of ignorance (overwhelmed by emotions) and those who repent soon after. God turns towards such people with mercy; He is all knowing and all wise.

    When the major sins are forgiven, so are the minor.

    God’s forgiveness is not mathematical.

      I see. So even though he once committed a major sin, if he repented immediately, it is certain that both his previous major and minor sins have been forgiven.

      Then, if he still commits minor sins (since these sins are sometimes unavoidable) after having done all of that previously, does the verse stating that minor sins are forgiven if one avoids major sins still apply to him?

      Of course, he/she has promised not to commit a major sin again and will avoid it.

    “does the verse stating that minor sins are forgiven if one avoids major sins still apply to him?”

    Why should it not?
