Praying for the Forgiveness of Iblees - Dr Zakir Naik - video Dailymotion

Islamic Pulse

In this lecture, Dr. Zakir Naik answers an important theological question: Is it permissible to pray for the forgiveness of Iblees (Satan)? He explains why Iblees was cursed by Allah, the difference between human repentance and Iblees’s rebellion, and the Qur’anic evidence showing that forgiveness is only for those who sincerely repent and seek guidance. Dr. Naik also clarifies misconceptions about mercy, divine justice, and why supplicating for Iblees goes against the teachings of Islam.

00:00The next question, my name is Sohraap. I am a student and live in USA. I had a question

00:10that I hope you can give the answer. If God forgives everyone's sin, what if a person

00:17do all good deeds but at exchange only wants from God to forgive Iblis, Satan? Is this

00:26which acceptable? If not, then what the promise that God gives us that he will accept any

00:32dua? The question posed by Sohraap is that if Allah is going to accept every dua, he's

00:38given the promise. So if we do good deeds and we tell Allah to forgive Iblis, will he

00:44forgive Iblis? If he doesn't, then Allah hasn't kept his promise. Point number one, nowhere

00:50does Allah anywhere in the Quran or any authentic hadith says that he will accept all your dua.

00:56It is your wrong concept. It's a misconception that you have. What Allah says is that if

01:01you truly repent, then Allah will forgive any sin of yours. So however much big sin you

01:09do, as long as you repent sincerely with your heart, Allah will forgive you. So that's the

01:16reason that if a person sins, he truly repents, he asks for forgiveness, stop what he's doing,

01:26agree it is wrong, never does it again, Allah will surely forgive him. But here your question

01:31is that if I do good deeds and I ask Allah to forgive Iblis, nowhere does Allah say that

01:38Allah will fulfill all your dua's. If Iblis would have repented to Allah and says he's

01:44sorry, he'll never do it again, Inshallah Allah will forgive him. But Allah knows Iblis

01:49is not going to do that. We know that. So where is the question? And you saying that you

01:54do good deeds and ask Allah to forgive Iblis, nowhere does Allah say that he's going to believe

01:59in all your dua's. Allah will forgive your sin if you truly repent and you compensate, Allah

02:04will forgive. But that doesn't mean that you do some good deeds and you ask Allah to forgive

02:08Iblis, this is not there anywhere and this is a misconception. Hope that answers the question.
