Case: A monotheist has committed many sins. One person insists on eternal punishment; another relies on intercession and denies any possible reckoning or penalty.
Forgiveness and intercession are affirmed for sinful believers who die upon monotheism, while punishment remains possible. Intercession occurs only by Allah’s permission; no creature possesses independent authority over it.
The conclusion preserves fear and hope together: sin is not trivialized, and Allah’s mercy is not treated as unavailable.
