Lifestyle Desk: No human being is above mistakes. But the best is the person who repents after committing a mistake. We all have flaws. Sometimes the sin is committed by the false face. Criticizing someone, abusing someone, sometimes reaching out to other people's wealth unjustly, sometimes looking at things that displease Allah. After all, I have done shirk with Allah.
prayer
I did not pay Salat, Zakat All the above mentioned poets, the only way to get rid of sin is repentance . For this, the Merciful Allah has made repentance essential for His servants. He said, 'O believers, repent to Allah, pure repentance so that you may achieve success' (Surah Noor-10). It is essential to repent for all kinds of sins including polytheists, those who abandon Salat, Zakat, transgressors, those who steal other people's wealth, slanderers, and Allah has promised to accept the repentance of all sinners. -11, Noor-5 Mayida mentioned in verse 39.
World Prophet Muhammad Rasoolullah (SAW) said, the most hopeful verse for mankind in the Qur'an is 'O my servants, you who have wronged yourselves, do not despair of receiving my mercy. Surely Allah will forgive all your sins. He is Forgiving, Most Merciful (Surah Jumar-53). By these sayings Allah has encouraged us to repent. It is clearly proved that Allah loves the repentant. He rejoices greatly when the servant, burning with remorse for his transgressions, seeks forgiveness from Allah.
Anas bin Malek (RA), the servant of Rasool (PBUH), said, "Allah is more pleased with the repentance of a servant than the joy of a man who finds his camel after it is lost in the desert." You and I feel like we are alone in a desert with no people around. No food or drink. The accompanying vehicle, the camel, was lost in such an uninhabited desert that had stored food and drink on top of the camel. Despite many searches, without finding the whereabouts of the camel, I gave up all hope of survival and lay down under a tree and waited for the inevitable death. In such a situation, if you open your eyes and see the camel standing in front of you. It is said in Sahih Muslim that Allah is more pleased with the repentance of the repentant than the happiness of one who is revived from the door of such death. It essentially bears unparalleled proof of Allah's infinite mercy and grace. He does not rejoice in the repentance of a servant because our repentance is of great need to Him. He does not expect any of these, rather it is His infinite mercy. An expression of immense forgiveness and unparalleled love. So we run to Allah without further delay and repent with a repentant heart. Almighty Allah is forgiving and wants to forgive us. He extends His hand to forgive the sinner of the day until the night and the sinner of the night throughout the day. Rasool (pbuh) should follow us in this regard. Narrated by Abu Huraira (R.A.) He said: I heard the Messenger (SAW) say, By Allah, I ask Allah for repentance more than 70 times a day. Another Sahih hadith mentions it 100 times.
Repentance brings three great benefits. Namely: (1) Obeying the instructions of Allah and His Messenger. Obeying this commandment has the ultimate happiness in this life and the hereafter; Prosperity and welfare. (2) The love of Allah can be earned by following the Messenger (PBUH). (3) Through repentance sins are not only absolved but they are transformed into good deeds (Furqan-70) Repentance from sin is accepted even if the sin is committed repeatedly (Sahih Muslim-4954).
Therefore, we should repent without delay to get out of the stinking world full of sin and return to the eternally beautiful and enlightened world. We should respond to the call of Allah and run towards Paradise, the nest of eternal peace. So let's sincerely ask Allah for forgiveness for all the past misdeeds and sins. May Allah subhanutayala grant us tawfiq to repent more and more every day.
