How can we reconcile the Hadith: "The one who repents from sin is like one who has no sin," with the warning in the verse: "Or do those who commit evil deeds think that We will make them like those who believe and do righteous deeds—equal in their life and their death? How evil is what they judge"? And does this warning include those who repent from major sins?
The verse is about the one who persists in committing sins, believing that Allah will equate him with the obedient, unlike the repentant one who returns to Allah Almighty, for he is among those who have believed and done righteous deeds.
