Are your sins forgiven before you make them?

"That is the grace of Allah which He bestows on whom He pleases. And
Allah is the Owner of Great Bounty." [57:21]

1. Perfecting one's ablution

"No worshipper perfects his ablution except that his past and future
sins are forgiven." [Hasan, al-Bazzaar. Al-Haythami and al-Mundhiri
agreed.]

2. Fasting the month of Ramadan with belief and seeking Allah's reward

"Whoever fasts Ramadhan out of Iman and seeking Allah's reward then
his past and future sins are forgiven." [Hasan, Ahmad. Declared Hasan
by adh-Dhahabi, as mentioned in al-Mughni (5876).]

3. Performing the night prayer in Ramadan with belief and seeking
Allah's reward

"Whoever stands (in prayer) in Ramadan out of Iman and seeking
Allah's reward then his past and future sins are forgiven." [Saheeh.
an-Nasaa'i.]

4. Performing the night prayer on the Night of Qadar with belief and
seeking Allah's reward

"It (Laylatul-Qadr) is in Ramadan, and expect it in the last ten
days; it is on an odd night: on the 21st, or the 23rd, or the 25th,
or the 27th, or the 29th, or on the last night (of Ramadan). He who
performs the night prayer on it out of belief and seeking Allah's
reward his past and future sins are forgiven." [Narrated by Ahmad.
There is a difference of opinion among scholars regarding this
hadeeth, some declaring it weak and some Hasan. Al-Hafidh Ibn Hajr
said in Al-Fath (4/116), "This addition – meaning, 'and future
(sins)' – is also in `Ubadah bin as-Samit's Hadeeth, in (the Musnad
of) Ahmad, in two narrations. Its chain is Hasan and it is supported
by the previous chain."]

5. Praising and thanking Allah after eating and putting one's clothes
on.

"Whoever ate a food and then said, `Praise be to Allah who has fed me
this food and provided it for me, without any strength or power on my
part', is forgiven his past [and future*] sins. And whoever wears a
garment and says, `Praise be to Allah who has clothed me with this
(garment) and provided it for me, without any strength or power on my
part', is forgiven his past and future sins." [Ibn Majah, Abu Dawud,
at-Tirmidhi, an-Nasa'i, al-Bukhari in al-Kabeer, al-Hakim, ibn Sunni
and Ahmad. The addition marked by (*) is related by Abu Dawud. Shaykh
Al-Albani declared the hadeeth Hasan in Saheeh al-Jaami` (6086) and
in al-Irwaa' (1989). He said in al-Irwaa', "Such a hadeeth causes
hesitation between making it Hasan (good) and Da`eef (weak). Maybe
the first one is closer to be the truth, because those who made it
weak didn't explain it and didn't explain the reason for its
weakness. Allah knows best."]

6. Getting old in Islam

"No one reaches forty years in Islam except that Allah protects him
from madness, leprosy and leucoderma. When he is fifty, Allah makes
easy his reckoning. When he reaches sixty, Allah grants him
repentance. And when he reaches seventy, Allah loves him and the
inhabitants of the heavens love him. And when he reaches eighty,
Allah accepts his good deeds and overlooks his sins. When he reaches
ninety, Allah forgives his past and future sins, he is named `the
prisoner of Allah on earth' and is granted intercession (for
forgiveness) for his family." [Hasan, Ibn `Asakir. Ahmad Shakir said
in his notes to Al-Musnad (8/23,25): "Its chain is at least Hasan. It
is supported with other chains which raise it to the level of
Saheeh."]

7. Leaving the following: performing ruqya (curing with Qur'an),
seeking having ruqya performed on one, cauterization, believing in
bad omens.

Narrated Ibn `Abbas, radhiallahu `anhu: Allah's Messenger, sallallahu
`alayhi wa sallam, said, "…I was told: `These are your people and
amongst them there are seventy thousand who shall enter Paradise
without being taken to either account or torment.' …'They are those
who do not make Ruqya nor seek it, nor believe in bad omens, but
trust in their Lord (Allah).'" [Bukhari and Muslim]

8. Whose two or three children die and he remains patient

"Whoever buries three children, Allah will forbid the Fire for him."
[Saheeh, Tabarani in al-Kabeer, Al-Albani authenticated it in Saheeh
Al-Jaami` (6238)]

"There are no two Muslim parents whose three children die before
reaching puberty except that Allah will enter them into Paradise due
to His mercy to the children. It will be said to them, "Enter the
Paradise", so they will say, "Not until our parents enter first". It
will be said, "Enter the Paradise you and your parents." [Ahmad, an-
Nasaa'i, and Al-Albani authenticated it in Saheeh al-Jaami` (5780)]

"'Whoever iHtasaba (remains content and patient after the death of)
three of his offspring will enter Jannah.' A woman said, `What about
two?' He said, `And two'". [Saheeh, an-Nasaa'i, Ibn Hibban,
authenticated by al-Albani in Saheeh al-Jaami` (5969)]

"To no woman three children die and she remains patient and content,
except that she will enter Jannah. Or two (children)." [Muslim]

9. Who raises three daughters or sisters and is nice to them

"There is no one from my Ummah who takes care of three daughters or
three sisters, and is nice to them, except that they will be a veil
(protection) for him from the Fire." [Saheeh, al-Bayhaqi and Al-
Bukhari in Al-Adab, authenticated by Al-Albani in Saheeh Al-Jaami`
(5372)]

10. Defending the honor of a Muslim

"Whoever defends the honor of his brother in absence has the right
over Allah to be freed from the Fire." [Saheeh, Ahmad, al-Tabarani.
Authenticated by Al-Albani in Saheeh al-Jaami` (6240)]. Al-Manaawi
commented, "'Whoever' is limited to other than the disbeliever and
public wrongdoer." [Fayd al-Qadeer 6:136]

11. Sincerity to Allah

No servant who says `la ilaha ill Allah', seeking the pleasure of
Allah, will reach the Day of Judgment, except that Allah will forbid
the Fire for him. [Ahmad, al-Bukhari] Hafidh Ibn Hajr said, "It's not
like that (i.e. not entering the Fire at all) for everyone who
believed in tawheed and worshipped, but it is specific for the
sincere, and sincerity (ikhlas) requires the realization of its
meaning by the heart. One cannot imagine that the heart will reach
that while persisting upon sins, as the heart would be filled with
the love and fear of Allah, whereupon limbs will embark upon
obedience and leave disobedience. "

12. Crying out of fear of Allah

"No man who cried out of fear of Allah will enter the Fire until the
milk returns to the udder, and dust in the path of Allah (jihad) and
the smoke of the Fire cannot go together." [Ahmad, at-Tirmidhi, an-
Nasaa'i and Hakim who authenticated it. Authenticated by Al-Albani in
Saheeh al-Jaami` (7778)]

13. Performing the prayer in congregation for forty days while
reaching the opening takbeer

"Whoever prays to Allah for four days in congregation, reaching the
opening takbeer, will have two written for him: freedom from the Fire
and freedom from hypocrisy." [Hasan. at-Tirmidhi, declared Hasan by
al-Albani in Saheeh al-Jaami` (6365)]

14. Being consistent in praying four rak`ats before Dhuhr and after it

"Whoever is consistent in praying four units of prayer before Dhuhr
and four after it, Fire will be forbidden for him." [Saheeh. Abu
Dawood, An-Nasaa'i, at-Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah, al-Hakim who
authenticated it. Al-Albani authenticated it in Saheeh al-Jaami`
(6195)]

15. Being consistent in praying before sunrise and before sunset.

"No one will enter Fire who prays before sunrise and after sunset."
[Ahmad, Muslim, Abu Dawud, an-Nasaa'i] Meaning, Fajr and `Asr prayers.

16. Good character

"Whoever is easy-going, easy to deal with and kindhearted, Allah will
forbid the Fire for him." [Saheeh. Al-Hakim in al-Mustadrak, al-
Bayhaqi, at-Tabarani. Al-Albani authenticated it in Saheeh al-Jaami`
(6484)]
