In many verses of the Qur'an, Allah mentions that Muslims—even
those with the most fear of Allah—– may make mistakes. In one verse,
Allah reveals;
Say [from Me]: 'My servants, you who have transgressed against
yourselves, do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Truly Allah
forgives all wrong actions. He is the Ever-Forgiving, the Most
Merciful.' " (Surat az-Zumar; 53)
It surely brings relief to their hearts, for a believer who errs
could feel great regret, sorrow and guilt.
Allah has made the scope for error so wide in human beings that He
has promised to forgive a person's errors without exception, if
that person is sorry and repents of what he has done.
But despite of the many consolations in the Qur'an that refresh the
spirit and give hope, many human beings do not admit that they make
mistakes. In spite of the glad tidings announced in the Qur'an,
after making a mistake they become wrapped in despair and become
anxious and downhearted.
An individual who refuses to acknowledge errors he has committed
out of pride and arrogance is greatly saddened by what he has done.
He has trouble accepting that he is a creature prone to making
mistakes and faulty decisions, and whose actions and words may be
wrong.
He does not consider that perfection and freedom from error belong
only to Allah. He wants to be perfect himself. But he cannot, and
the fact that some of his attitudes are wrong (despite his desire
that they not be), draws him into despair.
A believer experiences deep peace by accepting his imperfections and
helplessness in relation to Allah and never claims to be free from
error.
It should be remembered that the tendency to err and sin—even
though one may be a firm believer —makes him more aware of Allah's
perfection. One can conceive of perfection only when he had
experienced imperfection.
Consciousness of his own failures and weaknesses lets him better
appreciate the absolute perfection of Allah.

*- WHAT ISLAM SAYS -*
-
Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-
