3.   There are three registers; Allah Almighty will not forgive anything in one register, one register is such that Allah Almighty does not consider it, and one register is such that Allah Almighty will not leave anything from it. That register where there is no scope for forgiveness is Kufr; as it will not be forgiven in any way.
