God informs us in the Qur’an that He will forgive each person who sincerely repents of his sins, that is, asks for forgiveness and remains firm in not committing the same sin again<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

One of the reasons for people’s detachment from the religion is that they consider themselves unforgivable out of the deep distress they feel because of the sins they have committed. Satan attempts repeatedly to instill such despair in human beings. To one who has committed a sin, he stealthily whispers the message, “You are wicked and rebellious against God.” If he has committed only a few sins, Satan tempts him to sin still more. Towards his purpose, Satan employs the feeling of embarrassment man feels towards God, but manipulates this feeling in order to draw man further distant from God.<\/p>\n

However, like all others, this trick of Satan’s is a feeble one. The fact that someone committed a sin does not mean that he has been cursed by God and that he will never be able to follow the straight path again. Not just one simple sin, but even if he were to commit the greatest sins, over and over again, he will always have the opportunity to repent and turn towards God. God informs us in the Qur’an that He will forgive each person who sincerely repents of his sins, that is, asks for forgiveness and remains firm in not committing the same sin again:<\/p>\n
