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

Question:
This questioner, a brother from Egypt who follows the program, says: I hope you will explain the noble verse in which He, Blessed and Exalted is He, said:

Answer:
Allah, the Most Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. This verse is the one in which He, the Exalted, said: Shirk is not forgiven by Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. The mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah) is not a Muslim; rather, forgiveness is for Muslims and believers. The mushrik is not a Muslim, so he does not receive the mercy of Allah. Therefore, he must repent from shirk and purify his worship for Allah, Mighty and Majestic. By shirk is meant worshipping other than Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. Shirk is worshipping other than Allah in any form of worship, such as supplicating to other than Allah, slaughtering for other than Allah, or making vows for other than Allah. All of this falls under the categories of shirk, which is directing worship to other than Allah, Mighty and Majestic. This is not forgiven except through repentance, except through repentance from it. So whoever dies upon it, it is not forgiven for him. This means that major sins and transgressions less than shirk, it is hoped that Allah will forgive them for their owner, or that He will punish him for them, but he will not remain in the Fire eternally. Rather, he will be punished in the Fire according to the measure of his sins, and then he will be brought out of it into Paradise. So the outcome of the one who affirms the oneness of Allah is Paradise, either initially or in the end, even if he has sins and major sins. As for the mushrik, we do not hope for the forgiveness of Allah for him if he dies upon shirk. Yes.
