4:14

Salaam all,

This is 4:14
وَمَن يَعْصِ اللّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَيَتَعَدَّ حُدُودَهُ يُدْخِلْهُ نَارًا خَالِدًا فِيهَا وَلَهُ عَذَابٌ مُّهِينٌ
Waman yaAAsi Allaha warasoolahu wayataAAadda hudoodahu yudkhilhu naran khalidan feeha walahu AAathabun muheenun

The Aya says:
And whoever disobeys Allah and his envoy, including overstepping His (Allah’s) boundaries, He (Allah) makes him enter fire, staying unchanged in it, and to him belongs humiliating suffering.

My personal note:
This Aya presents to us the danger of overstepping the boundaries that Allah had set for us. Overstepping those boundaries is disobeying Allah.
This Aya is a general rule. However, we do understand that Allah also forgives whatever is below giving him partners to whoever He wills. When we combine those two Aya together, we come to the conclusion that the biggest disobeying of God is to give him partners and this is unforgiveable unless the person repents. All other forms of disobeying can potentially be forgiven, if Allah wills. However, one may still end up in lots of suffering if Allah did not will to forgive.

Why would Allah forgive those sins to some and not others? It depends on Allah’s wisdom, mercy and justice. This also relates to many factors that depend on the individual who commits the sin. Is it because of arrogance, or need or a difficult to fight personal weakness? a misunderstanding and so on and so forth.

We hope that we move in obeying God in the best way possible. We trust in his forgiveness to us in case of error and forgetting and misunderstanding and we hope that he forgives our sins that came from otherwise. He is forgiving, loving, wise, merciful and just.
