Question:
He asks: Are there deeds that, if one performs them, Allah forgives his sins, both those that came before and those that came after?
Answer:
Yes, there are deeds that, if Allah accepts them, He forgives the sins that came before and those that came after. Allah is the All-Forgiving, the Most Merciful (Glorified and Exalted is He). For example, fasting on the day of 'Ashura: Allah expiates the past year with it, and in one narration, He expiates the past year and the coming year with it—what has passed and what will happen, what came before and what came after. Yes, for example, fasting on the day of 'Ashura. Yes, standing in prayer during the Night of Decree and the night prayer of Ramadan: all of this, Allah expiates the preceding sins with it, and in some narrations, the following sins as well.
