Expiation for Sins, an Interpretive Study

Abstract

According to Islam this world is a place where everyone will be tested in order to obey Allah’s commandments utmost and avoiding prohibitions. Ideally, every believer strives for getting virtues and to get rid of sins and evils as he could for the accomplishment of eternal life. ‘Takfeer e Sayyiat’ is an Islamic concept which describes that human sins are removed from the divine record because of some noble deeds. This article investigates the concept in depth and creates conformity between the verses of Qur’an and Hadiths. This work is descriptive and analytical in nature. The primary sources of Islamic knowledge about Qur’an and Sunnah have been studied and quoted carefully and other data obtained from various sources like library, online, publications, academic and research works have been studied and evaluated critically to depict the most authentic information in this study. Noble deeds include mainly the Islamic worship rituals and doing good with the society. According to Mufassireen and Muhaditheen noble deeds cause atonement for smaller sins.
