﷽
Turning Back to Allah ﷻ
The poet sang:
يا من عدا ثم اعتدا ثم ارعوى ثم اقترف
Oh you who transgresses [in a sin], then transgresses again, then desists [from it], then transgresses again,
يا من غوى ثم ارعوى ثم انتهى ثم اعترف
Oh you who strays [from the right path], then abstains and stops and recognises [the sin]
ابشر بقول الله في أياته
Rejoice at the words of Allah in His saying
إِن يَّنتَهُوا يُغفَر لَهُم مَا قَد سَلَف
If they cease what has previously occurred will be forgiven.
_
Abu Huraira رضي الله عنه reported: The Prophet ﷺ said:
“If your sins were to reach to the heavens and then you repented, Allah would still accept your repentance.”
[Sunan Ibn Mājah 4248]
_
Allah ﷻ says in the Qur’an:
قُل لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ إِن يَنتَهُواْ يُغۡفَرۡ لَهُم مَّا قَدۡ سَلَفَ وَإِن يَعُودُواْ فَقَدۡ مَضَتۡ سُنَّتُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ
Tell the disbelievers that if they desist, their past will be forgiven. But if they persist, then they have an example in those destroyed before them.
[8:38]
و قال النبي ﷺ الإسلام يجب ما قبله والتوبة تجب ما كان قبلها
Islam erases what is before it and Repentance erases what is before it.
[Sahih Al-Bukhari]
‘Amr ibn al-‘As رضي الله عنه reported: The Prophet ﷺ said:
“Do you not know that embracing Islam wipes away all sins committed before it, that emigration wipes away what came before it, and the Hajj pilgrimage wipes away what came before it?”
[Sahih Muslim 121]
_
Consider Umar ibn Al Khattab رضي الله عنه who went to kill the Prophet ﷺ yet died as one of his closest companions, buried next to him!
_
Consider Wahshi the Abyssinian who killed Hamzah رضي الله عنه and caused so much grief to the Prophet ﷺ, yet after his Islam killed Musaylamah the Liar!
_
Such examples are many in Islam!
So let us follow in their footsteps by repenting to Allah ﷻ for our sins and turning to Him in obedience!
_
Ya Ibn Adam! If you were to sin 100 times in a day, and repent sincerely, Allah ﷻ would forgive you!
_
If you sin, intending to repent saying Allah ﷻ is Gafoor and Raheem, this is insincerity and not repentance.
_
May Allah ﷻ grant us forgiveness, acept our repentance and enter us into Jannah Al Firdous.
آمِيْن يَارَبَّ الْعَالَمِينْ
