God - ever forgiving, ever merciful

Most Muslims know this fact, in fact, very little of them ever dispute over this issue. The issue of whereby God chooses to forgive one of His subjects or not in their time on Earth before the day they die or Judgment Day - whichever comes first, of course.

The point of clash between some people who say that when an individual has committed a sin that is quoted in The Holy Qur'an - Islam's Bible - that no such act ever rectifies it no matter how much that individual attempts at it.

The following is my opinion in this dispute, which I feel is the most correct; however, I welcome all open discussions within this very topic.

There are many verses in the Holy Qur'an that state that any certain act it mentions as a sin then the sinner would directly go to Hell for committing such a crime against themselves and their body. However, this is what is mentioned in the actual verse of such a characterization of an act symbolized as a sin.

The argument here is that no matter what an individual may attempt to do in order to attain redemption of his past sin, the goal is not foreseeable. Hence, Hell would be his/her eternal punishment in the ever after life.

But what people who read these verses and translate as such in the above way forget to mention that it is also mentioned in the Holy Qur'an that any sin a human being does unto one's self is and can be forgiven in many many ways, due to the fact that God is ever forgiving and ever merciful as he is strict and hard in His eternal sentence to punishment in the way He chooses so upon one of His subjects.

This is my opinion, others however have an altogether different point of view on the subject.
