Are You Sure Your Repentance Is Accepted? The Quran Reveals the Moment When Regret Is No Longer Useful
The chance to repent is always open for those who realize their mistakes, but the Quran warns that repentance is no longer accepted when death is already at the doorstep. This is emphasized in QS. An-Nisa Verse 18, that regret at the end of life is not true repentance. The Ministry of Religious Affairs' commentary explains that repentance in such a condition is a mere lie, because it arises not from awareness, but from despair.
Islam teaches us not to delay change. Repentance must be done immediately with regret, stopping sinful acts, and mending relationships with Allah and fellow humans. Sufi scholars divide the human soul into four levels in facing sin.
The main message of this verse is that the door of repentance is open as long as there is still time. Don't wait until death approaches, because the chance to improve oneself can end without notice.
