And: “Indeed Allah does not forgive that any partner should be ascribed to Him, but He forgives anything besides that to whomever He wishes…” (4:48). Also: “When those who have faith in Our signs come to you, say,” Peace to you! Your Lord has made mercy incumbent upon Himself: whoever of you commits an evil[ deed ]out of ignorance and then repents after that and reforms, then He is indeed all-forgiving, all-merciful” (6:54).

Imam Jafar Al-Sadiq (PBUH) said: “On the Day of Resurrection, Allah will extend His mercy so vastly that even Satan will expect himself to be included with that mercy” (Bihar-al-Anwar, Vol.7, P. 287). Solomon Bin-Khalid (one of Imam Jafar Al-Sadiq’s companions) said: “I recited the verse “excepting those who repent, attain faith, and act righteously.

For such, Allah will replace their misdeeds with good deeds, and Allah is all-forgiving, all-merciful” (25:70) and Imam Al-Sadiq (PBUH) said: “the verse revealed about you (followers). On the Day of Resurrection, the guilty believers will be stopped before Allah Who will personally interrogate them. He will display before him his sins in detail, and the believer will confess them all. The Lord will then say: In the worldly life, I covered these sins and, now, I will cover them for you.

He then will order to change them into virtues. As the record of that believer will be shown to people, they will say, how admirable this man is! He did not commit a single sin! This is the meaning of Allah’s saying: “… excepting those who repent, attain faith, and act righteously. For such, Allah will replace their misdeeds with good deeds, and Allah is all-forgiving, all-merciful” (25:70). (Bihar-al-Anwar, Vol.7, P. 288).

Favourable Judgment about God Imam Jafar Al-Sadiq (PBUH) said: “The last servant who will be sent to Hell will turn his face towards Allah. The Lord then will order the angels to bring him back. Why did you turn your face, servant? The Lord will ask. Lord, the servant will say: I had another idea about You. What did you think of Me, servant? The Lord will ask. The servant will answer, I thought You would forgive me and allow me to live in Your Paradise.

The Lord then will say, My angels, I swear by My power, majesty, favours, tests, and exaltation, this servant had never thought good about Me for a single hour of his lifetime. Had he done so, I would not have sent him to Hell. Nevertheless, I will regard the lie that he has just told as true and allow him to be in Paradise.
