I'm sorry but that completely contradicts what is said in the previous section.
You state that if one repents right before death then they are forgiven. The last part of your post expressly states that one who waits until they rest upon the threshold of death to ask forgiveness will not be heard because they have no choice but to not sin.
Peace be with you brother. Sorry if I confused you... :)
According to the Quran it is said, that if they repent before they are going to die, whether in 20 or 50 years, then they still have a chance to be saved from punishment in the hereafter. But if they do it right at the moment when they're going to breathe their last, then they will be in trouble.
Its pretty simple If you read it and try understanding. I'll give you an example, so If a person is 20 years old, a disbeliever and/or a great sinner and that he or she will die at the age of 60, then they still have chance to repent before their lives ends in 40 years. If they continue to make repentance and revert back to their old ways and then repent and revert, then they will have their chance until their dieing hour and we cannot predict that they are doomed for the Hell Fire as its between that person and Allah (swt) as
Allah does forgive all sins....
That's why it is advised in Islam to hate the deeds not the doers.
Allah (swt) says in the Quran is Surah Nisa
Verse 28...
man has been created weak...
The One Who created man knows this, so He does give him plenty of chance so the person is saved from the fire. According to the Quran and Teachings of our Beloved Messenger (Saw), God's aim is to save mankind and NOT punish them, have Mercy and Forgive them not see them destroy themselves.

So in light of all this, to what extent is God's mercy?
thanks for asking the question, I didn't quite get that. Can you explain your question again brother?
