The door of repentance remains open for a considerable time, allowing individuals years to seek forgiveness. This opportunity continues until the setting of the sun from the west—a major sign of the approaching Day of Judgement. The Quran states that Allah will accept the repentance of those who turn to Him before this sign appears. Once the sun begins to rise from the west, the door of repentance will be closed, and any subsequent repentance will not be accepted. This emphasizes the urgency of seeking forgiveness while time remains.

True faith is demonstrated through actions motivated solely by devotion to God. Loving for God's sake and hating for God's sake are fundamental aspects of complete faith. Giving and withholding should also be done solely to please God, adhering to divine command. A believer’s love and animosity stem from adherence to or rejection of God’s principles, not personal desires. Fulfilling these four conditions – loving for God, hating for God, giving for God, and withholding for God – completes one’s faith.
