Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: “Indeed, Allah does not forgive association with Him”

Question:
The questioner says: What is the exegesis of the saying of Allah, Glorified and Exalted: ?

Answer:
Its exegesis is clear: the one who associates partners with Allah is not forgiven except through repentance, if he repents from shirk (associating partners with Allah). As for the sinner who commits major sins below the level of shirk, these are subject to Allah’s will. If Allah wills, He forgives him even if he does not repent. And if He wills, He punishes him according to the measure of his sin. So it is subject to His will . Thus, shirk is not accepted for forgiveness except through repentance, if he repents. And whatever is other than shirk, which is less than it, is subject to the will of Allah: if He wills, He forgives him, and if He wills, He punishes him. But if he repents, Allah turns to him in mercy. Yes.
