Every person makes the mistakes predestined in his or her destiny. Demoralizing someone due to a mistake would not befit a believer.

A person of high quality apologizes for a mistake he makes without making any excuses.

It is unseemly to embarrass someone because of a mistake. An admission emphasizing one’s love, friendship and loyalty would suffice to make up for a mistake.

Making a mistake is not a terrifying thing. Every mistake is made in destiny and people find the truth by making those mistakes.

Mistakes revitalize and encourage believers even more. They become more persistent in their efforts to gain the good pleasure of God.

People learn lessons from their previous mistakes but it is not right to be hung up on the past. Everything happens for a good reason.

Sometimes courtesy is to turn a blind eye to mistakes.

It is important to win people over. Anyone can make a mistake. It is important to allow them to correct their mistakes.

Everyone can make mistakes. It’d be cruel to shut them out, to bring down a person because he made one mistake.

A person may have done many mistakes before he practices religion. It is not right to suffer due to these mistakes according to the Qur'an.

A believer can make an error but he does not insist on doing it repeatedly.

It is quite natural for a Muslim to make a mistake. People should not be afraid of making mistakes. Even if it is a big mistake, it can be solved by giving advice. But reacting angrily to advice is not normal. You could say, "Okay, I will consider this. May God bless you. I will try my best." That's it. But angry overreaction to advice is abnormal behavior.

One makes a mistake, commits a sin and throws himself, he suffers. This is not what God wants from you. He simply says "repent and go on with your life." He doesn't say, "Cast yourself down, devastate yourself." Such are abnormal acts; such are the acts of the idolaters. In the end God is the One Who makes you do that mistake. There is good in that. You simply will not repeat it and that is it. You will make up your mind, won't do it again.

One says ,"When I make a mistake, my good conscience disturbs me, it makes me unable to breath." That stems from letting Satan suffocate you. Why is there the need for that, my brother? You simply put your trust in God and that is it, you repent to God. What does repentance mean? You hope God will accept your repentance. Then, what does being suffocated mean? That would mean that you do not trust God. If you've made a mistake, you've made the mistake in your destiny. Did you decide to never to do it again? You did. If you are determined about this, that takes care of it.

One should not knowingly push something, insist on something. What has happened would always be good for a Muslim no matter what. It is something defined in destiny. But one needs to hold on to reason.

Not everything about a person would be good. Good people have flaws as well. 90 % of that person is good; talk about those good characteristics, then you can mention those 10 % mistakes. But if you ignore that 90%, that would be cruelty.

God says that He would forgive such people who acknowledge their mistakes honestly and abandon such attitudes from that on.

A Muslim should apologize when he makes a mistake. God likes this behavior. That is an attitude God approves. Those who are after the approval of God should do this. They should say; "My Lord, forgive me for what I've done." They should say; "Astagfirullah, Astagfirullah, Astagfirullah." God sees this as a beauty.

Patience is the key to success. People will fall in mistake due to lack of patience. Allah always praises patience in the Qur'an. One of the characteristics of the students of the Mahdi is patience and determination.

In order to increase a Muslim's enthusiasm Allah might make him err in his actions. In this way that person might become more devoted, more painstaking, more faithful.

Almighty Allah likes His servants' repentance. He says; "repent sincerely to Allah." That is a contentment for the Muslim. That is because those who repent would find contentment in their hearts. Their love for Allah would increase and because they have made a mistake, repentance would give them a feeling of contentment in their hearts about their feeling of guilt.

A person would become immaculately pure and chaste when he/she repents and gives up the mistakes he/she had done in the past.

Sometimes a person may be taken unawares, he may have a moment of forgetfulness and commit some mistakes. This is simply human nature. It would be a sin to remind him of this mistake incessantly.

A Muslim will always ask for forgiveness from Allah, for he constantly makes mistakes and improper thoughts continuously occur to his mind.

People who are lazy for thinking would not be wise, would not be able to think deep. When that is the case, they lose their joy and happiness, they lose their reasoning and their ability to judge. Keenly preserving a constant, sharp closeness and attachment to God, constantly trusting in God would make one’s mind sharp and precise. People would then advance on a straightforward, steady path. But of course one would be tested while advancing on that straightforward path. Some people assume that they would not face any difficulty once they love God and put their trust in God. That would not be right. Loving God very much doesn’t mean removing all difficulties. Prophets live in the hardest of conditions. For instance, Hazrat Hamza loves God very much and God makes him a martyr, Hazrat Ali loves God very much but God makes him a martyr as well. Believers would most definitely be faced with difficulties, this is the condition of the trial.
