\n\tQuestion:<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tSalam. I have a question. Previously i.made a promise to Allah swt if I was to get better health wise then I would never do a certain sin again ( which detiriates my health). However once I got better i fell back in to that sin. I read in surah tawbah verse 75 which seems like a familiar situation to mine. In that case Allah set punished them with hypocrisy. I only had one chance as I committed the sin then I failed on my promise. Whereas they could pay charity and change anytime. But because they rejected Allah swt punished them. What shall I do? Will I be able to repent for this?<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAnswer:<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\"Bismillah\"<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIf a person made an oath using the following expressions, “I swear by Allah”, “By Allah I will not do this”, or “I make this action haram upon myself” and then broke the oath, he will be liable to pay kaffarah<\/em>. [1]<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAlthough one may have broken his oath, he should not be despondent of the mercy of Allah. Consider the following verse where Allah Ta’ala says:<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t“Say, Oh my bondsmen(servants)<\/em>who have wronged their souls, never lose hope ofAllah’s mercy. Verily, Allah forgives all sins. Undoubtedly, He is the Most Forgiving, the Most Merciful”<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t[Surah Zumar: 53]<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tFrom the above verse, one can deduce that well before death arrives, the repentance made from sins, no matter how serious, even from kufr<\/em> (disbelief) and shirk<\/em> (ascribing partners to Allah Ta’ala, gets to be accepted. By virtue of a genuine taubah<\/em> (repentance), all sins will be forgiven; therefore, none should lose hope in the mercy of Allah Ta’ala. (Ma’arifulQur’aan v7\/p574)<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tOnly Allah Ta’ala knows best<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
