The answer

The statement made was grave. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) narrated that a man once said, "By Allah, Allah will not forgive so-and-so." Allah Almighty responded, "Who is it that presumes to swear by Me that I will not forgive so-and-so? I have indeed forgiven so-and-so, and I have nullified your deeds." However, as long as you have repented to Allah Almighty with sincerity and remorse for the sin, then Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful, who accepts repentance and pardons evil deeds, as He Almighty said: "And it is He who accepts repentance from His servants and pardons evil deeds." (Quran 42:25). And the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "The one who repents from a sin is like one who has no sin." Therefore, have a good opinion of your Lord, strive in acts of obedience, and increase the good deeds that erase sins.
