Forgiveness

“Indeed Shaytan (Satan) said, ‘My Lord, by Your Honor and Might! I will not stop misleading Your slaves as long as their souls remain in their bodies. So Allah (swt) responded, ‘By My Honor, Might and Majesty, I will not stop forgiving them as long as they seek My forgiveness.’” (Ahmad)

Messenger of Allah () said, "Were you not to commit sins, Allah would create people who would commit sins and ask for forgiveness and He would forgive them".
