Islam - repentance


Expert: Lee Ann Fleetwood - 1/21/2008

Question
Suppose you know something is bad but still you do it and intend to repent later, will such repentance be accepted??

Answer
Hello Roy

Well obviously the best course of action would be to not engage in that which we all ready know is forbidden...however, humans that we are we tend to forget at times...or just not care really when caught up in the heat of the moment so to speak....but God reminds us over and over that He is Most Forgiving and Most Merciful...sincere repentence is what is required....and then if its forgiven or not is up to God...I nor anyone can answer that question.

here's the problem though...what if you intend to repent later...and then die before that repentence can take place...then you in trouble right...so better to either avoid forbidden things all together or if you are seduced by temptation...then to repent as soon as possible...you dont know which sec is your last...right? And God knows best.
