💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Something that we can all agree on is the fact no human being on earth completely lacks flaws, imperfections and the tendency to forget, misinterpret and be overcome by desires once in a while. It is impossible to be entirely perfect and sinless, when this world was designed to be a platform of temporary tests with all sorts of temptations. There is a huge difference nonetheless between Muslims who commit sins due to falling into temptation and stubborn rebels who knowingly disobey Allah the Almighty out of sheer pride.
For instance, a person who steals their colleague's wallet full of cash due to inability to control themselves upon seeing it easily accessible, out in the open, commits a lesser crime than an experienced con-artist who enjoys taking strangers' money through deliberate lies and deceit.
Two persons of the same gender who get all sexual together on one occasion, because they weren't strong enough to resist their intense feelings of attraction, could be guilty of zina but their evil deed isn't as serious as that of an openly queer Muslim "advocate of LGBT+ rights" who has immoral relationships with many individuals, aware that adultery and homosexuality are major sins but refusing to believe they're punishable as long as their illicit activities don't harm anybody.
A Muslimah who prays yet currently doesn't wear the hijab, because she still isn't convinced about the virtues of veiling and dressing modestly, isn't as disobedient as one who pridefully disbelieves that Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala commanded believing women to dress a certain way, whilst she has her own movement where she persuades other female Muslims to discard the hijab for the sake of "freedom" and "liberty".
Those who occasionally watch TV series with a motive to enhance their speaking skills or learn more about human psychology aren't as sinful as those who not only view movies when bored but also have a bad addiction to watching actual porn, unwilling to give up looking at inappropriate content because they like to think there's nothing wrong with their misdeeds.
A Muslim who suddenly utters offensive words and speaks in taboo language due to extreme anger isn't as shameful as one who habitually says the "F-word" and behaves disrespectfully while believing they're entitled to speak however they wish.
People will Inn-sha-Allah be rewarded according to their intentions and circumstances which drove them to the actions they willfully chose.
No matter how many times we've fallen into sin however, we must steadfastly keep fighting our nafs and defeat shaytan's vile insinuations.
From the believers whom Allah the Most Forgiving loves are those who frequently do sincere Tawbah/repentance, and who never quit saying Istighfaar until their souls are returned to Him.
📖 Abu Bakr RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "No man commits a sin, then purifies himself in ablution, then prays, and then asks Allah for forgiveness, but that Allah will forgive him." Then, the Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam recited this verse, 'Those who, if they behave immorally or do wrong, they remember Allah and seek forgiveness for their sins. Who forgives sins besides Allah? And they do not insist on what they have done, while they know better.' (The Noble Qur'an 3:135)"

📖 Ibn Abbas RadhiAllahu 'anhuma narrated: Some people among the idolaters had committed many acts of murder and adultery. They came to the Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam and they said, “What you call to is good, but tell us what we can do as an expiation?” Then, the verse was revealed, 'Those who do not call upon another god besides Allah, who do not kill a soul that Allah has sanctified except for a just cause, and who do not commit adultery; whoever does so will meet a penalty. Punishment will be multiplied for him on the Day of Resurrection and he will be humiliated therein, except for those who repent, have faith, and do good deeds. For those, Allah will replace their evil deeds with good deeds.' (The Noble Qur'an 25:68-70). And the verse was revealed, 'Say to My servants who have transgressed against themselves: Do not despair of the Mercy of Allah.' (The Noble Qur'an 39:53)
