Is there forgiveness for adultery?

So many muslim girls make this mistake and regret it later but what I am wondering is.. is there a forgivenss path from this sin? these days I think media portray this as something that has become common in cultures. I don’t know how many of you watch the drama Buri Aurat on GEO.. but what message is that giving to young generation??

A youtube link to this drama or a synopsis would help . Thanks .

I am sorry I don't know how to attach video online. I can try to do it after I leave work :(..

Re: Is there forgiveness for adultery?

The character in Buri Aurat screwed up her life by having an affair. That's the message they are sending. Don't screw around when you are married or you'll destroy multiple lives.

Re: Is there forgiveness for adultery?

I haven't seen the drama but Islamically, there is something that says there is always forgiveness available if you ask for it, even for adulterers and murderers.

I think its a Hadith. But I don't hold much stock in them, so who knows how true this is. I think its between the individual and God, and if you've done something so crappy to your spouse, you should really pray hard and hope you do get forgiven...because Adultery is considered a sin worthy of hell.

When a girl or a guy.....commits adultery........they should seek forgiveness from Allah. The family members of the adultere may be angry.....but they don't have the authority to forgive that sin. The spouse may be upset....but then sin is between the two adulterers and Allah. The spouse...also...does not have the authority to forgive.

Family/spouse/friends/muhallay walay.........can't or shouldn't even expect that THEIR forgiveness be sought. Nor do they have the authority to shun the adulterer to the fiery depths of hell. You can apologize to your family for hurting their feelings.....but apologizing for the actual sin itself should be done to Allah.

That's the way I see it. I've heard Buri Aurat is a good drama and a friend recommended it. Haven't watched it yet. But those that were recommending the drama NEVER said that it was portrayed in a way that might misguide the viewers/youth. Rather it was said that such a drama shows that adultery DOES happen...and is a reality.

^Is there a forgiveness path from this sin? Shirk is considered to be WORSE than adultery. Shirk is the only sin that's not forgiven......but I think it can be forgiven if one repents from it and never goes back to it again. Think about idolators....once they repent...their shirk is forgiven. So....if adultery is considered a lesser sin than shirk........then yes, I think it can be forgiven.

As far as dramas portraying such issues....I think it can be a good thing. Over sheltering the youth....can make them more naive and unprepared for life's challenges. Such over-sheltering can be like a handicap...and it doesn't present a realistic picture of real life.

Repentance is not just an option but a desirable option by Islam. I am not sure about murder as murder involves a victim and he/she needs to forgive the murderer or he will be punished.

You are right...But If our actions belongs to " Haqooqul Ibad " then we make sure they forgive us..coz ALLAH wont forgive us If they Dont...

Re: Is there forgiveness for adultery?

Redvelvet you made a great point.. but I feel that society as a whole is not as strict on these values as they were back ohhh 5-10 years ago.. IDK. but I also think no matter how strong your values are when shaitan is on you, anyone can get misguided and off path and maybe that's why Allah is so forgiving towards us if we feel deeply sorry for our sins.

Re: Is there forgiveness for adultery?

their is forgiveness for everything except, Shirk..

the end !

clarification, after having belief on one God and then you commit shirk, their is no forgiveness

but if you go back to believing in one god then shirk will be forgiven

Do you mean can it be forgiven by Allah or by people (i.e. society)? If you mean by Allah, then from what I know, yes it can. If you mean is society ready to then that's a different story.

so you are saying if i switch around on belief on one God and then shirk. .and then again and again.... it will be forgiven.. .

i don't know so !

Re: Is there forgiveness for adultery?

As long as every time you repent, its sincere and not with the intention of switching back to shirk when convenient then yes, it will be forgiven.

Re: Is there forgiveness for adultery?

Haha, which by the way, some desi men out there are seriously screwed.

As they have screwed around in ways they should not have...

Re: Is there forgiveness for adultery?

No.

No forgiveness for both men and women.

We might commit bigger crime and yet could live lives with grace.
But a women engaged in s-x :nono:

It has multiple angels.

1-Our extremely shy culture when it comes to out bodies.(yet bribery and other things are ok )

2- Women are very sensitive creatures. They lose more then .. u know.
If some guy is one to overlook those things… they them self can’t.
It change them for ever.

SO my message to ladies. If you are are not man enough(:snooty:)
Don’t hump.
Period!!

Its going to kill you over and over.

Re: Is there forgiveness for adultery?

Of course there is forgiveness, Allah swt is most Raheem and Rahman. He has mercy on his servants as long as they show repentance, change their ways and come back to the right path. Allah swt is the most Merciful and the most kind and oft forgiving and inshAllah if we repent for our sins however big or small sincerely, then inshAllah we will be forgiven.

Allah knows your heart better than we do. He's forgiving but there arel limits. To keep switching around again and again...an purpose...I dunno.

Sometimes we commit shirk without even realizing it (reading horoscopes, palmistry, etc). Or our words and actions may reflect shirk without realizing it. For example, we may think that a particular issue can be TOTALLY affected by our or someone else's doing and not realize that things are controlled by Allah.
