LessonsForgiveness of Shirk and Other Sins; Threats and Divine MercyQuiz

جَوَازُ الْعِقَابِ عَلَى الصَّغِيرَةِ وَالْعَفْوِ عَنِ الْكَبِيرَةِ
The possibility of punishment for a minor sin and pardon for a major one.

Two questions follow: could a minor sin still carry punishment even when major sins were avoided? Could a major non-shirk sin be forgiven, including where repentance is absent? The chapter answers in terms of possibility under divine judgment.

Permissibility or possibility does not mean inevitability. A smaller offense is still forbidden; a larger offense is not automatically placed beyond divine mercy unless the specific exclusion concerning shirk applies.
