﷽
Allah is oft forgiving
You think sinning makes you a man?
Or makes you a woman?
Makes you worth something?
You think by taking out and doing filth with many women is a sign of your manhood?
You think by dressing up and wearing make-up and disregarding the Hijab is a sign of your woman-hood?
Wrong. It is only a sign of your lack of Taqwa and standing with Allah ﷻ.
It does not take away from the might of Allah ﷻ that you sinned. Nor does it add to it. Wallahi, if the whole world did Shirk, this would not decrease Allah ﷻ in any way.
Some people, they sin and they sin, and then afterwards they feel too guilty to turn back and so they carry on. Some people don’t even admit what they do is wrong and they carry on!
But it takes a real man and a real woman to stop sinning and prostrate before his/her Creator begging for mercy and admitting his/her weaknesses and begging for forgiveness.
Allah ﷻ says
قُلْ يَٰعِبَادِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُوا۟ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِهِمْ لَا تَقْنَطُوا۟ مِن رَّحْمَةِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَغْفِرُ ٱلذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعًا ۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْغَفُورُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ
Say: Oh you my slaves who have transgressed against themselves, do not despair in the Rahma of Allah! Surely, Allah forgives all sins and He is the Forgiving, the Beneficient.
[39:53]
People think that Allah ﷻ won’t forgive them! But Allah ﷻ here in this Ayah is saying 2 commands.
1. Don’t despair in mercy of Allah ﷻ
2. Repent when you sin
Meaning, it is Waajib to repent after you sin!
What makes you and I think we are people without need for Tawbah?
When Prophet ﷺ made Istighfaar more than 70 times a day? And He ﷺ was sinless!
Yet we who are sinful, can’t even repent 10 times a day.
But Allah ﷻ said as part of a longer Hadith Qudsi.
O My servants, you sin by night and by day, and I forgive all sins, so seek forgiveness of Me and I shall forgive you.
[Sahih Muslim 2577]
Ask Allah!
Just as you sinning wouldn’t decrease His power. Asking from Him the best in Dunya and Akhirah wouldn’t decrease His power!
No limits!
Prophet ﷺ said, “Verily your Lord is Generous and Shy. If His servant raises his hands to Him (in supplication) He becomes shy to return them empty.”
[Ahmad, Abu Dawud and Tirmidhi]
May Allāh ﷻ forgive us and grant us Jannatul Firdaus
آمين يا رب العالمين
