The fate of a Mujahir
I need help concerning the fate of a person who exposes his sins whether out of pride or neglect. In an authentic hadith it is said that such a person will not be forgiven. Is this absolute? Can a mujahir still repent before he or she dies as he reaffirm his Iman? Or is it futile meaning there is no...
I need help concerning the fate of a person who exposes his sins whether out of pride or neglect. In an authentic hadith it is said that such a person will not be forgiven. Is this absolute? Can a mujahir still repent before he or she dies as he reaffirm his Iman? Or is it futile meaning there is no hope for such a person despite having Iman?

My mother was talking on the phone and I heard her say “I swear to my kids” I asked her about it and she said she knows it’s haram but she just wanted the person on the phone to believe her. I told her it was shirk and she said “Astaghfurillah, God forgive me.” Does it count as shirk towards her even if she didn't know? And should she do Tawbah?

If someone have drew many drawings of humans and animals some are faceless, and some of are of eyes nose or lips and some are like full body with head but no expressions.
Now the person wants to repent sincerely, but the intentions while making that drawing were very clear it was not to worship them. But still liked to draw. Now that person know that It's Haram and what's the punishment etc. the person wants to repent sincerely. The thing is most of the drawings he/she have found she has burned them but some are nowhere to be found. She have looked everywhere but those drawings are lost.
Now? What to do? Will Allāh forgive it? Is it shirk?

What to do if I can't apologize to somebody because I am too embarrassed?
I joked with my teacher a while ago and I think he didn't like my joke but didn't say anything, I am too embarrassed to apologize to him. Is making dua and doing good deeds for him enough or do I have to apologize?

Having a debt but being unable to pay it off
The place i live involves people selling on the streets, so it is usual for someone to buy when they are in a vehicle and receive and pay for their products.

The place i live involves people selling on the streets, so it is usual for someone to buy when they are in a vehicle and receive and pay for their products. However, when I was on a bus the seller gave me their product and just as I was about to give them the money the bus began moving because we were in the middle of the road. So the seller began running for his money and I quickly reached out to give him but it landed badly on his hand and fell to the ground. I believe it might have fallen into hole in the middle of the road and the driver of the bus had already gone past the road so the seller could no longer run for his money, and there were too many cars for the driver to pause suddenly, nor do I think the driver knew. I felt guilty because it was not my intention for the money to land badly especially since I had already received the product. I do not remember his face or name, nor do I think he remembers mine. Does this count as a debt if I gave him the money but it landed badly and I don’t know if he managed to get it or not? Especially since he gave me the product? My intentions were not bad and it happened very suddenly

I believe I may have commited blasphemy as purposely and consciously entertaing blasphemous thought and going on to lengths to ponder further on it but I immediately repented and asked forgiveness from Allah Subhanatallah
Though it was intentional and deliberate but I was not able to think properly at the moment it was like i was frozen and just furthering this thought. It was like I was in control and, at the same time I had no control over it. Its hard for me to explain it but it felt like I knew it ot was wrong disgusting and vile and blasphemous but i was not able to control myself to stop thinking about it like I was actively thinking more about it like generating more scenarios in my mind.It did not felt subconscious but it seemed very apparent that I wanted to think about it but then i quickly snapped out of it and in my heart and also my intention was never to commit a blasphemy but i kept on intentionally and deliberately thinking about it.

A woman at the time of prophet committed a sin, she was punished for it. After her hadd, the prophet said her repentance would have sufficed for 70 madinites.
https://sunnah.com/muslim:1696a
Face value the above report implies some repentances can reach epic proportions to take care of other sins.
Also there is an instance where Allah says, do whatever you like after the worshipper has repented several times.
> ....My slave has known that he has a Lord Who forgives sins and punishes for it I therefore have forgiven My slave (his sin), ***he can do whatever he likes*** - bukhari (7507)
So my question is does sincere repentance wipes out future sins too?

If someone who used to say that homosexuality is halal to others, but they grew up and repented and now they know that it is haram and they regret ever saying that it is halal, will Allah forgive them?
That person was heavily misguided and badly influenced by a circle of friends with whom they stopped talking to and hanging out with it. That person knows that it is haram and that it is a major sin but they used to say that it is halal. Does Allah forgive that?

Assalamualaikum,
I have been drawing various things (portraits, sceneries etc) for a long time and sometimes I was told by people that it is sinful, though I didn't get any exact ruling on it. I drew portraits as a stress-reliever. Recently I have learned about the ruling on drawing portraits and have stopped drawing them.
I have covered the portraits with ink. But I also gave some drawings to other people in both paper and online medium. What can I do for those images?
Also I want to know how to repent for it, since I feel very scared after hearing the rulings. Is there any way it can be forgiven if I repent now? I really want to make up for my long-time mistake and want Allah's forgiveness.

If I truly repented for a major sin I had once committed, will it still show up in my records on Judgement Day?
Let’s pretend I do a major sin and then inshallah do a perfect taubah and never do that sin ever again. **Will it still show up in my records on Judgement Day?**

How to repent from lying? Do I need to confess to others that I have told a lie?
As everyone knows, lying is one of the great and major sins. Let's say, at some point, a person lied a small lie. How can he repent? Does he need to tell whom he lied to the truth? Or is it enough to do istighfar (repent)?
