Doing Shirk Unknowingly
@irfan76 sir so if this can be said that if a person was in a truthful way, but due to some human error went into misguidance then his misguidance won’t be counted, so similarly if a person gets to know of a sin, but with a genuine error could not understand the gravity of that sin, and genuinely thought it to be a small sin, so that sin would only be counted to the margin of how much he understood the gravity of the sin. Like for example a person, who genuinely couldn’t understand the severity of shirk, and to him it was of similar gravity thing like slapping a man or saying a lie to someone, then he would be only judged according to how much he dared to cross the limit, and according to it, he may be forgiven with some punishment (little punishment for understanding it is wrong, and forgiveness because he genuinely couldn’t understand the gravity of it, and to him it was same like slapping someone) But sir we also see that Allah in Quran says that he does not forgive Shirk. So can it be said that this Shirk that is mentioned here is when someone was well aware of it being sin and well aware of how much gravity is of this crime, but still chose it. So for him there’s no forgiveness at all. Can you explain both aspects?
