Have Your Sins Wiped Away

How easy is it to have all of your sins wiped away? O le mea moni, it’s pretty easy for those who want the blessings of Allah SWT. Allah in all His infinite Mercy and Wisdom has given us the ability to have all of our minor sins wiped away as is stated in the following hadith:

Perofeta Muhammad (ia ia te ia le manuia) fai mai: “The five daily prayers, and from one Friday to the next, are an expiation for whatever sins come in between, so long as one does not commit any major sin.” (O uiga lelei o le taulotoina o Surah Kahf)

This is a fantastic opportunity for everyone who wishes to attain Allah’s forgiveness! Peitai, it’s important to note that you will only have these sins wiped away if you don’t do any major sins.

Major sins don’t just include things like shirk, murder, adultery etc.

I Islama, major sins ALSO include:

• Back-biting, gossip, telling tales and slander
• Not performing the salah
• Being disobedient and rude to one’s parents and causing them distress
