"Surely Allah does not forgive that anything should be associated with Him, but He forgives anything else to whom He pleases; and whoever associates anything with Allah has indeed strayed far away." (An-Nisa [4]; 116).

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَغۡفِرُ أَن يُشۡرَكَ بِهِۦ وَيَغۡفِرُ مَا دُونَ ذَٰلِكَ لِمَن يَشَآءُۚ وَمَن يُشۡرِكۡ بِٱللَّهِ فَقَدِ ٱفۡتَرَىٰٓ إِثۡمًا عَظِيمًا

"Surely Allah does not forgive that anything should be associated with Him, but He forgives anything else to whom He pleases; and whoever associates anything with Allah has certainly committed a great sin." (An-Nisa [4]; 48).

ٱعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ شَدِيدُ ٱلۡعِقَابِ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٞ رَّحِيمٞ

"Know that Allah is severe in punishment and that Allah is Forgiving, Merciful." (Al-Maidah [5]: 98).

ثُمَّ أَفِيضُواْ مِنۡ حَيۡثُ أَفَاضَ ٱلنَّاسُ وَٱسۡتَغۡفِرُواْ ٱللَّهَۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٞ رَّحِيمٞ

"Then depart from the place from where the people depart and ask Allah for forgiveness; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful." (Al-Baqarah [2]; 199).

فَقُلْتُ اسْتَغْفِرُوا رَبَّكُمْ إِنَّهُ كَانَ غَفَّارًا

"So, I said (to them), 'Ask your Lord for forgiveness, indeed He is Most Forgiving.'" (Nuh [71]; 10).

Hadith on Forgiveness for Zina in Ramadan

As for the hadith on forgiveness for Zina in Ramadan, what I mean is as follows:

رَوَى الْبَيْهَقِيُّ وَالْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ وَابْنُ أَبِيْ الدُّنْيَا عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ رَسُوْلُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ وَلَا أُمَّةٍ اِسْتَغْفَرَ اللهَ فِيْ كُلِّ يَوْمٍ سَبْعِيْنَ مَرَّةً لَمْ يُكْتَبْ مِنَ الْكَاذِبِيْنَ , وَمَنْ اِسْتَغْفَرَ اللهَ فِيْ كُلِّ اللَّيْلَةِ سَبْعِيْنَ مَرَّةً لَمْ يُكْتَبْ مِنَ الْغَافِلِيْنَ

Al-Baihaqi, al-Asbahani, and Ibn Abi ad-Dunya narrated from Anas, that the Messenger of Allah (Prophet Muhammad) sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said, "There is no servant or person who asks Allah for forgiveness (reciting Istighfar) seventy times a day who is recorded as a liar, and whoever asks for forgiveness from Allah (reciting Istighfar) seventy times each night will not be recorded as among the heedless."

وَرَوَى أَحْمَدُ وَالْحَاكِمُ : قَالَ إِبْلِيْسُ وَعِزَّتِكَ لَاأَزَالُ أُغْوِيْ عِبَادَكَ مَا دَامَتْ أَرْوَاحُهُمْ فِيْ أَجْسَادِهِمْ . فَقَالَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ : وَعِزَّتِيْ وَجَلَالِيْ لَاأَزَالُ أَغْفِرُ لَهُمْ مَا اسْتَغْفَرُوْانِيْ

Ahmad and al-Hakim reported: "Satan said, 'By Your glory, I will mislead Your servants as long as their souls are in their bodies.' Allah Azza wa Jalla responded, 'By My glory and majesty, I will continue to forgive them as long as they seek forgiveness from Me (reciting Istighfar).'"

وَرَوَى التِّرْمِذِيُّ عَنْ أَنَسٍ عَنْ رَسُوْلِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : يَقُوْلُ اللهُ تَعَالَى ياَ ابْنَ آدَمَ لَوْ بَلَغَتْ ذُنُوْبُكَ عَنَانَ السَّمَاءِ ثُمَّ اسْتَغْفَرْتَنِيْ غَفَرْتُ لَكَ

At-Tirmidhi narrated from Anas, from the Messenger of Allah (Prophet Muhammad) sallallahu alaihi wa sallam: "Allah Ta’ala said: 'O son of Adam, if your sins were to reach the sky and you then seek My forgiveness (reciting Istighfar), I will forgive you.'"

That's a brief explanation of "Will Allah forgive me for Zina in Ramadan?". As Muslims, we must understand this.
