What is Faith?

English book, p. 44

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

All man’s sins, except pride, may be forgiven “There is hope of forgiveness for every sin that arises from carnal desire,” said Sufyan ath-Thauri, “but not for those that stem from pride. Satan sinned out of pride, while Adam erred due to carnal desire. Adam repented and was forgiven, but the sin of Satan excluded him forever from God’s gracious mercy.”
