Question:
As-salaamu Alaykoem(WRBT)
We make Duah that Allah(SBUH) grant Mawlana Shaykh Nazim increased health and strength, Ameen. Beloved Shaykh Hisham Kabbani, my question is: I heard from a friend that the malaaikah do not record the sins of a person on and after the age of 70 years. Is this true – because I read in the newspapers how people of this age still commit the most astrocious sins possible. (Muslim or non-muslim)
Please help me to understand this.

Answer:
`Alaykum assalam,
The angels do not stop recording. However, a hadith qudsi states: “I feel shy to punish My servant who has worshipped me for 70 years.”
So this is a glad tidings for a Muslim who dies after that age.
