Unforgivable Sins

The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'The repentance of every sin is acceptable, except for ill-nature, for indeed the ill-natured person is such that every time he manages to get out of one sin, he plunges into another.

Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘One of the firm decisions of Allah in the Wise Reminder (the Qur'an) … is that it will be of no avail to man to strive with his soul and to act sincerely, if upon leaving this world to meet his Lord he is still guilty of any of the following sins for which he has not repented: that he associated anything else with Allah in his obligatory worship, or appeased his own anger by killing someone, or exposed acts committed by others, or sought fulfilment of his needs from people by introducing an innovation in his religion, or was two-faced in his encounters with people, or mingled among them deceitfully.

Imam al-Baqir (AS) said, 'Among the sins that are unforgivable is when a man says, ‘I wish I would only be punished on account of this one sin [deeming the sin so small that he thinks he can bear the punishment].

Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, 'All sins are forgivable except insolence towards fellow Muslims.
