Does the Almighty's saying, "So whoever does an atom's weight of evil will see it," mean that God will not forgive sins even with repentance and remorse?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The acceptance of repentance, when its conditions are met, is a certainty and necessitates the forgiveness of all sins. Allah the Almighty has promised those who commit the greatest sins that their evil deeds will be transformed into good ones if they repent, believe, and do righteous deeds. As for the relationship between the acceptance of repentance and the forgiveness of sins, and His (Allah's) saying: {And whoever does an atom's weight of evil will see it}, this can be answered in several ways: Either the verse is a general statement that is particularized, meaning one will see the evil if Allah does not forgive it, or that the believer will see the recompense of his evil deeds in this world through calamities and illnesses, or that the believer will see all that he has presented of good and evil, and Allah will forgive him for the evil and reward him for the good.
