Assalam alaykum wa ruhmatullah wa barakatuh.

I have two questions.

1. If one does thaubah every day to be ready for the last day, there´s still a fear that it may not have been accepted, and always you think "was I sencere enough".


2. It´s stated that one who recites ayat al-kursi after each prayer will go to jannah straight away. Will this still happen despite the sins one has comitted?

Walaikkum assalam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu,

Dear brother,

Regarding your first question, what you are feeling is normal and good. We live in a constant state of fear and hope in Allah. We fear his punishments and at the same time, hope for his mercy. Tawbah cause humility and submissiveness to Allah. I provide you a very very useful article/Fatwa by Shaykh ibn baaz (May Allah have mercy upon him)

Allaah - the Might and Majestic - says: "Say O My Slaves who have transgressed against their own souls! Do not despair of Allaah's mercy. Indeed Allaah forgives all sins, Truly He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." [Soorah az-Zumar 39:53]. There is a consensus from the Scholars that this noble aayah (verse) was revealed for the taa'ibeen (those who repent). So whoever sincerely repents from his sins, then Allaah will forgive him all his sins, as occurs in the saving of Allaah - the Most Perfect - : "O you who Believe! Turn to Allaah in sincere repentance. Perhaps your Lord may remove from you your sins and admit you into Paradise beneath which rivers flow." [Soorah at-Tahreem 66:8]. So in this aayah (verse), Allaah has made the removal of sins and entry into Paradise dependant upon sincere repentance.

And sincere repentance is conditional upon: abandoning the sin and keeping away from it, [ii] having regret and remorse for committing the sin, [iii] truly intending not to commit the sin again, [iv] remembering the greatness of Allaah and hoping for His reward, whilst fearing His punishment. Another condition for sincere repentance is that if due to transgression, the wealth or property of someone has been stolen or usurped, then it must be returned or forgiveness must be sought from the one whose wealth, blood or honour has been taken. However, if the honour of a person has been violated and the situation is such that it is not possible to seek that persons forgiveness, then plenty of du'aa (supplication) should be made for his welfare and he should be spoken good of in those places where he had previously been backbitten, since good deeds wipe away bad ones. Allaah - the Most Perfect - said: "Turn you all in repentance to Allaah, O Believers, in order that you may be successful." [Soorah an-Noor 24:31]. So in this aayah (verse) Allaah the Mighty and Majestic - linked success with tawbah (repentance) and points to the fact that the repentant person will reach success and happiness, and if such a person were to follow up this repentance with eemaan (faith) and doing righteous actions, then Allaah would efface his evil actions and change them to good actions, as Allaah the Most Perfect - said after mentioning the sins of Shirk (directing worship that is due only for Allaah to other than Allaah), taking a life without just cause and fornication and adultery-: "And whoever does this, will receive the punishment, The punishment will be doubled for him on the Day of Judgement and he will live therein in disgrace. Except for those who repent, have eemaan (faith) and do righteous actions. For them Allaah will change their evil deeds into good ones, and Allaah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." [Soorah al-Furqaan 25:68-70]

And from the causes of tawbah (repentance) are humility and submissiveness to Allaah - the Most Perfect - and asking Allaah for guidance and ability, and that acceptance of one's repentance is considered as a Favour from Allaah, as Allaah - the Most Perfect - said: ''Call upon Me and I will respond to your supplication." [Soorah Ghaafir 40:60] And He - the Mighty and Majestic - said: "And when My servant asks you concerning Me, say to them that I am indeed near, And I respond to the supplication of the one who supplicates to Me." [Soorah al-Baqarah 2:186]. Also, from the causes of tawbah is choosing good companionship and friendship and following them in righteous conduct, whilst staying clear of bad companionship. It is authentically related from Allaah's Messenger sallaallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam that he said: "A person is upon the way of life of his friend, so let one of you look to whom he keeps as a friend."2 And the Prophet sallaallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam also said: "The example of a good companion and a bad companion is like that of a seller of musk, and the one who blows the blacksmith's bellows. As for the seller of musk, then either he will grant you some, or at the very least you enjoy a pleasant smell from him. As for the one who blows the blacksmith's bellows, then either he will burn your clothes or you will get an offensive smell from him."3

And regarding second question,

“The one who recites it after each of the obligatory prayers, then death will be the only thing [i.e. barrier] preventing him from entering al-Jannah .”

This hadeeth is reported by At-Tabaraani, ibn as-Sunni, ibn Hibbaan, and others. Ibn Hibbaan graded it as saheeh in his book As-Salaat. Al-Haythami said: “At-Tabaraani reported it in Al-Kabeer and Al-Awsat with different narrations, one of them is good.” Al-Haafith ibn Hajar said,“Its isnaad is saheeh...and ibnul Jawzee was inattentive when he reported it in his Mawdoo’aat (fabricated collection of ahaadeeth).” Shaykh al-Albaani authenticated it in As-Silsilah As-Saheehah (vol.2, no.972) and said: “Ibn Khatheer declared it as saheeh in his tafseer (exegesis).” He noted that Shaykh-ul-Islaam ibn Taymeeyah’s calssification of this hadeeth as weak, as in his Fatawaa (22:508), “Appears to be made at the stage when he was beginning to seek knowledge. In fact, his student Imaam ibnul Qayyim related that he (ibn Taymeeyah ) was reported to have said, “I never relinquished [to recite] it after each [obligatory] salaat.” After detailing the various reports regarding this hadeeth, ibnul Qayyim commented, “It has its basis and it is not mawdoo’ (fabricated).” [See ibnul Qayyim’s Zaadul Ma’aad (Beirut, Lebanon: Mu’assasatur-Risaalah (Checked by Shu’ayeb and ‘Abdul Qaadir al-Arna’oot), 2d, ed. 1418/1997)], pp. 293-294.

But, I do not know anything regarding "Will this still happen despite the sins one has comitted?"

:wasalam:
1. There has to sincerity. A minutes fall is enough to destroy all good deeds. Its like a pot. May Allah give us all the due diligence to be careful about our Imaan... Ameen

2. I hope you know how a weighing scale works and the maths behind it. Sin arises from bad manners and deeds, you agree right? here is a hadees
Narrated Abud-Darda: Allah’s Messenger said, “The heaviest thing to be placed in the balance of a believing slave on the Day of Judgement will be good behaviour.”
"Nothing is weightier on the Scale of Deeds than one's good manners."
[Tirmidhi]​
