What is it that prevents a Muslim from committing sins, when Allah Almighty has promised forgiveness for them in the Hadith Qudsi: "Whoever comes to Me with a an earth-full of sins, I will meet him with an earth-full of forgiveness, as long as he does not associate anything with Me"? And why does the disobedient person enter Paradise while having enjoyed the unlawful in this world, knowing that Allah has forgiven him?
The shows Allah's grace, immense mercy, and forgiveness for those who die upon . However, this forgiveness is conditional on His will, Exalted is He. The servant cannot guarantee that they will die upon Tawhid because hearts are in Allah's hands, and an increase in sins may lead to the loss of faith. The hadith mentions three reasons for forgiveness: supplication (du'a) and hope, seeking forgiveness (istighfar), and dying upon Tawhid. Therefore, it is not permissible to be deluded by this hadith into committing sins. Rather, the intention is to encourage seeking forgiveness and repentance, and that Allah accepts them, even if sins are numerous.
