Why should a repentant servant combine hope and fear, even though Allah Almighty accepts sincere repentance?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Allah accepts the repentance of whoever is sincere in it, but it is not possible to definitively confirm the acceptance of a specific person's repentance due to the inability to verify the fulfillment of its conditions. Therefore, the servant remains between fear and hope, and these two are like two wings to a bird: hope dispels despair, and fear prevents complacency.
