Is there no repentance for the children of Iblis, and were they created for Hellfire only?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The apparent meaning of the evidence is that the repentance of any of Iblis’s offspring who embraced Islam and remained steadfast is accepted. This is indicated by the generality of the Quranic verses that speak of accepting the repentance of polytheists and His servants. Allah, the Exalted, created humans and jinn for worship, and whoever among them fulfills that for which he was created, sincerely and following the guidance of the Messengers, his worship is accepted, including embracing Islam and repentance.
