Will Allah Almighty look at the disobedient child on the Day of Judgment if he repents?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The severe warning for the disobedient child, mentioned in the hadith: "There are three whom Allah, the Mighty and Exalted, will not look at on the Day of Resurrection: the one who is disobedient to his parents...", does not include the one who repents, because repentance erases sins and makes the repentant person like one who has no sin, as stated in the hadith: "The one who repents from a sin is like one who has no sin." So the warning for the disobedient child applies as long as he persists in his disobedience until death. As for the one who repents, Allah will accept his repentance, and Allah's "looking" here refers to looking with mercy and forgiveness.
