Q 192: Toba inakoma lini kwa kila binadamu?
Q 192: When does repentance cease pertaining to each human being?
A ---Allah Mtukufu anasema: {Allah hukubali toba ya wale tu wanaofanya maovu kwa ujinga na upumbavu kisha wakatubu upesi baadaye, hao ndio Allah atakaowasamehe, na Allah ni Mjuzi daima, Mwenye hekima}. (An-Nisaa', 17)
A ---Allah the Almighty says: {Allah accepts only the repentance of those who do evil in ignorance and foolishness and repent soon afterwards, it is they whom Allah will forgive and Allah is Ever AllKnower, All-Wise}. (An-Nisa', 17)
Masahaba wa Mtume ﷺ walikubaliana kwa pamoja kwamba kila kitendo kinachofanywa kwa kumuasi Allah ni kitendo cha ujinga, iwe kimefanywa kwa makusudi au bila makusudi.
Companions of the Prophet (Peace be upon him) unanimously agreed on that everything that is done in disobedience of Allah, is an act of ignorance whether it be on purpose or not.
Mjumbe wa Allah ﷺ anasema: "Hakika Allah hukubali toba ya mja mpaka atakapoupata uchungu wa mauti." (Ahmad, At-Tirmidhi na Ibn Majah) Hili limethibitishwa katika Hadithi nyingi sana. Lakini, mja akiwa ameuona Malaika wa mauti, roho yake ikakwama kifuani, ikafika kooni na akaushuhudia uchungu wa mauti, basi hapo hakuna toba itakayokubaliwa, wala hakutakuwa na njia ya kukimbia. {Nao wakalia kwa kuomba msaada wakati haukuwa tena wakati wa kukimbia}. (Sad, 3)
Allah's Messenger (Peace be upon him) says: "Verily, Allah accepts the repentance of the slave till he experiences the death agony." (Ahmed, AtTirmidhi and Ibn Majah) This is affirmed in so many Hadiths. But, if the slave saw the Angel of Death, his soul swaged in his chest, and it reached the throat and he witnessed the agony of death, upon that no repentance would be accepted and there would not be any way to run. {And they cried out when there was no longer time for escape}. (Sad, 3)
Allah Mtukufu anasema: {Wala si toba ya wale wanaoendelea kutenda maovu hadi mauti yanapomkabili mmoja wao na akasema: "Sasa ninatubu;" wala ya wale wanaokufa hali ya kuwa ni makafiri. Kwa hao tumewaandalia adhabu iliyo chungu}. (An-Nisaa', 18)
Allah the Almighty says: {And of no effect is the repentance of those who continue to do evil deeds until death faces one of them and he says: "Now I repent;” nor of those who die while they are disbelievers. For them We have prepared a painful torment}. (AnNisa', 18)
