A friend once said to me; All of us, humans, are sinners.. and "the one without sins, let him be the first to throw the stone" which is the word of Jesus Christ - salam to him.
The answer:
True: "All of us are sinners." But should not insist on sin, like Satan who insisted on his sin. God accepts the repentance of the sinner when he asks for His forgiveness.
The conditions for accepting the repentance are here explained by Mohammed-Ali Hassan Al-Hilly, the interpreter of the Quran and the Bible:
Quran 4: 31, which means:
(If you [Muslims] avoid the great [sins] which you are forbidden, We will remit from you your venial [sins] a and admit you into an honorable place b [: in Paradise.])
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
a It means: if you avoid the major sins, We pardon you the minor sins in case you repent; i.e. if you repent from a minor sin, We accept your repentance and forgive you; but if you repent from a major sin, We will not forgive you concerning it unless the punishment of retaliation is applied to you, in case such a sin requires a stated retaliation punishment, and you return the property and rights of people if you plunder their rights, then you may repent and then We forgive you concerning it.
Therefore, one, who stole some property, has to return the stolen property to its owner from whom he stole that property, then he may repent.
And one who disobeyed his parents, has to please his parents, then he may repent;
the killer has to pay the due money then he may repent;
One who accused a married woman with fornication has to please her by giving her money or doing her a favor until she is pleased with him and forgives him his fault then he may repent;
and one who gave a false witness has to admit the truth before the judge then he may repent;
and so on anyone commits a major sin, has to return the rights of people and then he may repent and his sin may be forgiven; or else it will not.
The major sin is every sin which requires the due retaliation punishment, or it is the plundering of the rights of people.
The greatest major sin is
>> the joining or associating of others with God [in the worship and glorification].
Other major sins include:
>> the killing of a believer,
>> taking the usury,
>> devouring the property of the orphan,
>> accusing a chaste woman with adultery,
>> disobeying the parents,
>> the fleeing from the war against disbelievers, associaters and atheists;
>> committing adultery with a married woman,
>> preventing the woman from marriage,
>> stirring the hatred and enmity between two friendly believers,
>> deceiving a chaste woman to adultery
… and other sins.
b For the one who avoids major sins and repents from minor sins.
