Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: "Indeed, those who disbelieved after their faith"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
May Allah greet you and bless you.
The questioner:
We begin this session with a question from one of the brothers who asks about the exegesis of the noble verse in the saying of Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He: I seek refuge[An-Nahl 16:98] [Ali 'Imran 3:90].
The Shaykh:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. And I bear witness that there is no deity but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and His Messenger. May Allah send prayers and blessings upon him, upon his family, and upon all his Companions. The saying of Allah the Exalted[Ali 'Imran 3:90] refers to the apostate who disbelieved after his Islam. If he apostatizes and then repents to Allah, Allah accepts his repentance. But if he repeats the apostasy—meaning he apostatizes, then repents, then apostatizes again, then repents—his repentance is not accepted. From this, the scholars said that the repentance of one whose apostasy has been repeated is not accepted, and they cited this noble verse as evidence, because such a person becomes one who treats his religion with contempt. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
