Question:
And may Allah bless you. The questioner, who used the code name F-A Sudan, asks: What is the meaning of the noble verse? I seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the accursed:[Al-Ahzab 33:5].
Answer:
The verse is clear that Allah does not hold a person accountable for an error. If a person does a wrong deed or speaks a wrong word without intending it or meaning it, then Allah does not hold him accountable, but He holds people accountable for what their hearts intended. Yes.
