SURAH AL-BAQARAH: 284 Part 4

Continued from before...

Other Ulama (religious scholars) have answered this doubt by saying that the Hadith, in which forgiveness for what is in the heart but is not acted upon has been mentioned, refers to the involuntary thoughts and doubts which come into a person's mind without his volition, in fact, they keep coming even if one tries to stop them. Allah Ta'alah has forgiven such involuntary thoughts for this Ummah. The accountability that has been mentioned in this verse relates to those sins that a person fully intended to carry out, but couldn't because of something else happening. He will still have to account for those intentions on the Day of Doom (Qiyamah). It will then be up to Allah Ta'alah will as to whom He punishes, and whom He forgives, as mentioned in the Hadith above.

From Ma'ariful Quran, by Mufti Muhammad Shafi Rehmatullah Elaih
