In Sahih al-Bukhari, the Prophet ﷺ said: “A fornicator does not commit fornication while they are a believer, a thief does not commit theft while they are a believer, and a person does not drink alcohol while they are a believer.” (\"},{\"attributes\":{\"italic\":true},\"insert\":\"Source\"},{\"insert\":\": \"},{\"attributes\":{\"link\":\"https://sunnah.com/muslim:57f\"},\"insert\":\"Sahih Muslim 57f)\"},{\"insert\":\"\\n\\nThis doesn’t mean that someone who commits a sin becomes a disbeliever. What it means is that their Iman, or the strength of their faith, is weakened during that act. Scholars explain that even while committing these sins, a person remains a Muslim, but their faith is not in its full form at that moment.\\n\\nSo, if someone were to die while committing a sin, it doesn’t mean they die as a disbeliever. They’re still considered a Muslim, but it’s a serious situation because it shows they weren’t in a state of readiness to meet Allah. Still, Allah’s mercy is vast, and as long as we are alive, repentance is always possible.\\n\\nThe focus is on recognizing our mistakes and turning back to Allah in sincere repentance.\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"668d9ff20b76658b4c2329f4","tag":"Worship: Repentance","count":63},{"_id":"668da0580b76658b4c2334b2","tag":"Knowledge: Aqeedah","count":38}],"createdOn":"2024-11-08T01:02:33.196Z"}
