What Sins Are Forgiven

Muslims often believe the following about their Moral Code:
- Some sins are unforgiveable, like murder.
- Islam does not have a 'confession' like Christians. Where you can sin, you can confess and then sin again.
- Islam does not let Muslims carry their parents' sins.
- Lying is not permitted.Unless you do that in order to convert people to Islam and the it is called Takeyya.

Unfortunately for Muslims, all the above assumptions are wrong:
- You do carry your parents sins in Islam:
Qur'an 9:84 : Nor do thou ever pray for any of them that dies, nor stand at his grave; for they rejected Allah and His Messenger, and died in a state of perverse rebellion.
Qur'an 9:85 : Let not their wealth nor their children please thee! Allah purposeth only to punish them thereby in the world, and that their souls shall pass away while they are disbelievers.
- The only unforgiveable sin is not believing in Allah. Other sins like murder of sentient beings and rape are forgiveable.

- Lying is, unfortunately permitted in Islam. You can lie whenever you need to. See Lying
