Shaykh Imam Bayhaqi Shaafi’i رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has reported in ‘Fadaail-ul-Awqat’: The Rasool of Rahmah, the Intercessor of the Ummah صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said, ‘Six types of people will not be forgiven even on this night:

1     A habitual drunkard

2      The one who is disobedient to parents

3     The one who commits adultery

4      The one who breaks off relations

5      The one who sketches portraits

6      The tale-bearer. (Fadaail-ul-Awqat, pp. 130, vol. 1, Hadees 27)

In some other narrations, this admonition is also mentioned for polytheists, one who harbours hostility, killer, fortune-teller, magician, one who lowers his pyjamas or Tahband below his ankles with arrogance, one who has malice and hatred against a Muslim; they also remain deprived of the privilege of forgiveness in this night.

مَـعَـاذَ الـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ, if someone has indulged in any of the above mentioned evil deeds, he should repent from the core of his heart for that particular sin and for all the sins in general as well.

In order to have steadfastness in repentance, join the Madani environment of Dawat-e-Islami. اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ, by the blessings of it, various spoiled people have reformed. Let’s listen to a Madani parable:

I got rid of wicked habits

A young man from Bab-ul-Madinah, Karachi has stated: I was arrogant because of my good physique and young age. I used to get my clothes tailored according to the latest fashions and trends. I would ride the bus to college, but would not pay the fare. When the money collector asked me to pay the fare I would quarrel with him. Loafing around all night and gambling away money were some of the wicked habits of mine. Sins had become a part of my character. My parents who often used to advise me had also become disappointed. My mother would weep and supplicate for me [but I did not care].
