Question
Assalamualaikum...Allah expiates sins through pain..illness..but he can forgive the sins without the pain...then why do we go through pain?
Islamic Ruling & Answer
Walekumussalam,
Allah can forgive sins even without hardship, but pain and trials become a means for raising a personโs rank, earning reward for patience, and turning back to Allahโthis is why we are sometimes made to go through them.
