The Meaning of the Saying of Allah the Exalted: "He forgave their evil deeds and improved their condition."

Shaykh Muhammad ibn Salih al-‘Uthaymeen

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : What is the reward for those who believed in what was revealed to Muhammad? Their reward is His saying:
He will remove from them their misdeeds and amend their condition. كفّر عنهم سيئاتهم وأصلح بالهم
[Muhammad 47:2]
He will remove from them their misdeeds كفر عنهم سيئاتهم
[Muhammad 47:2]
and improved their condition وأصلح بالهم
meaning their state and affairs. So Allah combined for them two things: the removal of evil and the attainment of good. The removal of evil by expiating their evil deeds, and the attainment of good by improving their condition. And His saying, Exalted is He:
He will remove from them their misdeeds كفر عنهم سيئاتهم
[Muhammad 47:2]
is fully clarified by the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
The five [daily] prayers, Friday to Friday and Ramadan to Ramadan make atonement for what has happened since the previous one when major sins have been avoided. الصلوات الخمس والجمعة إلى الجمعة ورمضان إلى رمضان مكفرات لما بينهن ما اجتنبت الكبائر
Mishkat al-Masabih 564
and his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):
An Umra is an expiation for the sins committed between it and the next, and Hajj which is accepted will receive no other reward than Paradise. العمرة إلى العمرة كفارة لما بينهما والحج المبرور ليس له جزاء إلا الجنّة
Sahih Muslim 1349a
