#The_infallibility_of_the_Prophets_In_Quran

🔸 The issue of infallibility may be examined from two angles:

🔹1 – Infallibility in conveying the message.
🔹2 – Infallibility from human error.

🔸Firstly: With regard to the first issue, the #Prophets were #infallible in conveying the message from Allaah. They did not conceal anything that Allaah had revealed to them, and they did not add anything from themselves.
[al-Maa'idah 5:67], [al-Haaqqah 69:44-47]

🔸Secondly: With regard to the Prophets as people, they may make mistakes. This may be discussed as follows:

👉 1–They do not commit #major sins

🍃 With regard to major sins, the Prophets do not commit major sins at all, and they are protected from such major sins both before their missions began or afterwards.

👉 2– Matters that have nothing to do with conveying the message and the revelation.

🍃 #minor sins may be committed by them, or by some of them.

👉 “Thus did #Adam disobey his Lord, so he went astray.
Then his Lord chose him, and turned to him with forgiveness, and gave him guidance”
[Ta-Ha 20:121-122]

This indicates that Adam committed sin, but he was not left to persist therein, and he repented to Allaah from that.

👉 “He (#Moses) said: ‘This is of Shaytaan’s (Satan’s) doing, verily, he is a plain misleading enemy.’

He said: ‘My Lord! Verily, I have wronged myself, so forgive me.’ Then He forgave him. Verily, He is the Oft‑Forgiving, the Most Merciful” [al-Qasas 28:15-16]

🍃 So #Moosa (peace be upon him) confessed his sin and sought forgiveness from Allaah after he #killed the Egyptian, and Allaah forgave him his sin.

👉 “and he [Dawood] (#David) sought forgiveness of his Lord, and he fell down prostrate and turned (to Allaah) in repentance.

So We forgave him that, and verily, for him is a near access to Us, and a good place of (final) return (Paradise)” [Saad 38:23-24]

🍃 Dawood’s sin was hastening to pass judgement before hearing the case of the second disputant.

👉 #Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)

“O Prophet! Why do you #forbid (for yourself) that which Allaah has allowed to you, seeking to please your wives? And Allaah is Oft‑Forgiving, Most Merciful”
[al-Tahreem 66:1]

🍃 This refers to the well-known story with some of his wives.
