Question:
How can we reconcile between these two aayahs (interpretation of the meanings):
Verily, Allaah forgives not that partners should be set up with Him (in
worship), but He forgives except that (anything else) to whom He wills
[al-Nisa' 4:48] and And verily, I am indeed forgiving to him who repents,
believes (in My Oneness, and associates none in worship with Me) and does
righteous good deeds, and then remains constant in doing them (till his death)
[Ta-Ha 20:82]
Is there any contradiction between them?
Answer:
Praise be to Allaah. There is no contradiction between them. The first aayah
refers to one who dies in shirk (associating others with Allaah) without having
repented from it. He will not be forgiven and his abode will be Hell, as Allaah
says (interpretation of the meanings):
Verily, whosoever sets up partners (in worship) with Allaah, then Allaah has
forbidden Paradise to him, and the Fire will be his abode. And for the
Zaalimoon (polytheists and wrongdoers) there are no helpers [al-Maa'idah 5:72]
But if they had joined in worship others with Allaah, all that they used to do
would have been of no benefit to them [al-An'aam 6:88]
And there are many similar aayahs. The second aayah _ And verily, I am indeed
forgiving to him who repents, believes (in My Oneness, and associates none in
worship with Me) and does righteous good deeds, and then remains constant in
doing them (till his death) [Ta-Ha 20:82 _ interpretation of the meaning] _
refers to those who repent.
Similarly Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): Say: O `Ibaadi (My
slaves) who have transgressed against themselves (by committing evil deeds and
sins)! Despair not of the Mercy of Allaah, verily, Allaah forgives all sins.
Truly, He is OftForgiving, Most Merciful [al-Zumar 39:53] The scholars are
agreed that this verse refers to those who have repented. And Allaah is the
Source of strength.

Allaah have mercy on him), 4/419

{Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom
(i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue
with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone
astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.} (Holy
Quran-16:125)
{And who is better in speech than he who [says: My Lord is Allah (believes in
His Oneness), and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites
(men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: I
am one of the Muslims.} (Holy Quran-41:33)
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: By Allah, if
Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of
camels. [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, Whoever
calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who
follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all.
[Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Hamas-Fatah Agree on 'NATIONAL UNITY GOVT' To Please the CRUSADER the ZIONISTS
Democratization of the Muslim World When We Say That We Want the Muslim World to Embrace Democracy What We Want to See is the INSTALLTION Of Govts Which Will Implement OUR Agenda in Those Countries. If Any Democratically Elected Govt in the Muslim World Tries to Implement Its OWN Agenda It Will Be Branded as a TERRORIST STATE Its Neck SQUEEZED to Such An Extent That Either It SUFFOCATES To Death OR Accepts OUR Agenda So that It Can BREATHE Freely. The WESTERN World Palestinians Cheer Hamas-Fatah Agreement By SARAH EL DEEB, Associated Press Writer http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070209/ap_on_re_mi_ea/palestinians_summit_reaction GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - Gazans danced in the streets, honked car horns and set off fireworks to celebrate a Hamas-Fatah power-sharing deal they hope will avert civil war. The joy was in stark contrast to the gloom that descended on the impoverished coastal strip during months of deadly infighting between the political rivals. In a show of unity, some drivers flew both green Hamas flags and yellow Fatah banners from their cars. People are in disbelief, Maysra Balawi, 24, said late Thursday as he tried to steer his car through jammed streets. Today is a feast. It is the first happy protest I have seen in Gaza. Young men danced to the beat of drums, carrying each other on their shoulders. Celebratory gunfire could be heard in several parts of Gaza City and fireworks lit up the sky. A coalition agreement between the Islamic militant group Hamas and the Fatah movement of President Mahmoud Abbas was signed late Thursday in the holy Muslim city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia. Under the deal, Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas will remain prime minister. In all, Hamas will get nine Cabinet posts, compared to six for Fatah. Nine other posts will go to independents and smaller factions. The Saudi-brokered deal caps months of on-again, off-again coalition talks, interspersed with fighting. The key disputes had been control over three ministries Foreign, Finance and the Interior as well as the language in the new government's program addressing previous peace agreements with Israel. In the end, the new coalition pledges to respect such deals, instead of committing to them, as Abbas initially demanded, and it remains unclear whether the U.S. and Israel will be ready to deal with the new coalition. The international community has said any Palestinian government must recognize Israel explicitly. In a first Israeli response, government spokeswoman Miri Eisin reiterated the international community's conditions, but did not make clear whether the Mecca deal would satisfy Israel. In Thursday's ceremony, the names of the new Cabinet ministers were not announced. Haniyeh, formally designated as the head of the new coalition, must fill the posts in the coming five weeks. Two of the three key portfolios were already assigned informally in previous rounds of talks. Salam Fayyad, who served as finance minister in Fatah-run governments and is respected by the international community, is expected to return to that post. Ziad Abu Amr, an independent, is likely to be named foreign minister. Hamas officials said they have proposed a former military prosecutor and Fatah member Hammoudeh Jarwan as the new interior minister. The position is key because the minister controls several of the security branches, while Abbas remains in overall control of the troops. Ahmed Yousef, an adviser to Haniyeh, said there was no objection when it proposed Jarwan during the negotiations. Jarwan told a Hamas-linked Web site that he had not been contacted yet. I value and appreciate the trust Hamas has put in my, despite me being a Fatah member, he was quoted as saying. Gazans hope the deal will not just end the fighting but also an international aid boycott. For four or five days we've been holding our breath. God willing, this is a permanent agreement, not a temporary truce, said Mahmoud Qassam, 27, a fish vendor who watched the signing ceremony on television with his family in their shop in the Shati refugee camp, near Haniyeh's home. We hope this will lead to lifting the siege, a reference to the West's cutoff of vital foreign aid after Hamas took power almost a year ago.
