Our Praises due to Allah subhanahu wa taala.
We praise Him we seek his assistance, we seek his forgiveness, and we seek refuge in Allah subhanho wa Taala from the evil that is within ourselves, and the evil that results from our deeds whomsoever Allah subhanaw taala guide, you non show misguide them and whomsoever Allah subhanaw taala allows to be led astray, none shall guide them back to the straight path. I bear witness that there is no God worthy of worship except Allah net witness that Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is His servant and messenger Allah tells us in the Quran, are you believe you got unconscious fellows wrong, Carla, as he deserves to be here, and do not die except as Muslims. All mankind fear Lord me God conscious,
who created you from one soul and from its mate and from it many men and many women and fear Allah subhanho wa Taala through whom you ask of one another, your rights and by the wounds that bore you. Verily Allah subhanaw taala is ever watchful over you. Oh you who believe be God conscious fearless, talented and speak the truth you'll read your deeds righteous and he will forgive you and you will forgive your sins and whoever Allah subhanaw taala whoever obeys Allah subhanho to Allah and His Messenger has indeed achieved a great victory. Barely the best speeches official Allah and the best guidance and guidance of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and the worst of affairs is that
which is a real
Religious innovation for all of that and his guidance. And all of this guidance leads to help.
I will read about the Allahu Taala tells us of a story of a man who had sinned a great deal during his life. And towards the end of his life, he realized that
when he meets Allah subhanho wa taala, he would face a terrible punishment and consequence.
And in his extreme fear
of Allah subhanaw taala and the accountability that was coming, he said to his children,
after I die, you shall cremate me, and you shall scatter my ashes everywhere
scatter them in the wind in the sea.
And he said,
mistakenly,
if Allah subhanaw taala
gets a hold of me, then he will surely punish me in a way that he has never punished anyone else. But brothers and sisters, remember that even if your bones and your body and all of what it is are pulverized
and they completely disintegrate.
Allah subhanaw taala is more than able, more than capable of bringing people back.
And so Allah subhanho wa Taala brings him back together and asks him, why is it that you did this and he said, Oh Allah, I was afraid that you would punish me for what I have done.
And so Allah subhanaw taala forgave this person.
Brothers and sisters.
I want you to think a little bit about this person. And this scenario right here from this hadith.
This individual clearly knew that he was living a life that was not pleasing to Allah subhanho wa taala. And yes, he did have some theological problems where he thought that perhaps Allah if he was cremated, then his problems would be gone.
But despite that, he came to Allah subhanahu wa taala with a quivering heart, trembling with fear, understanding and taking accountability and responsibility for the things that they have done.
Having this quality
and this trait
of admitting to others found out that what you have done wrong, this is the essence of repentance. And it is the condition for one to be forgiven. As the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he says, another more October, to have regret is
repentance.
Some of sometimes we
live in a way when we don't understand the meaning and greatness of Allah's forgiveness, because we don't understand the names and attributes of Allah subhanho wa taala.
And one of the names of Allah subhanaw taala is a lawful and one of the names of Allah subhanho wa Taala is a law for
and despite both names of Allah being very similar, nevertheless they carry a different meaning.
So for the name of Allah, Allah, foo, it means to pardon and your job was to pardon someone concealing the crime, erasing it.
So the person is not accountable anymore for what they have done.
But there is no reward.
As for a lover for a takes it much further than that.
It is not only to forgive, not only to conceal, seek to conceal, excuse me, to waive, but also that reward is imminent.
It is part of the human condition
to feel bad for what they have done. No matter how much denial one affords oneself. Allah tells us in the Quran
the Prophet SAW Selim tells us in a hadith in Allah azza wa jal yatta yatta who belaid Lea tubuh Mussio Nihar are absolutely Yoda who been the hub Lea to the Mercy will label her toddler Shamsul Maghrebi her Rohan Muslim
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he tells us in this hadith as narrated in Muslim, that Allah subhanahu wa taala extends his hand out at night, ready to forgive those who have sinned during the day.
And he extends his hand out during the day to forgive those who have sinned at night. And this is what Allah Jonnie Allah Tomcat is opening the doors of mercy and forgiveness and it will be like this until the end of time.
Allah tells us no Quran Olearia Abadi Alladhina Seraph, who Allah foresee him up on our pool Mira Mattila
in La Jolla funeral zone Uber Jaime.
In Uber food or Rahi, Rahim I
say to my servants who have transgressed against themselves, do not give up in the Mercy of Allah subhanahu wa taala. Verily, Allah forgives all sins young Pharaoh the Nova gymea, Allah forgives all sins. And this verse refers to any sin that is done.
When the person is alive, even shocked, even disbelieve it before the person has to Allah forgives.
Brothers and sisters, sometimes it can be difficult for us to understand how is it possible that a person makes a sin repeatedly makes a makes repentance and then does it again over and over again? Doesn't that make them a hypocrite?
I'm going to tell you right now that that is what shaitan tells you.
Just like how shaitan
told Adam and himself salaam, that if you were to eat from the tree that either you would turn into angels need perfect Diems or you would be living eternally otaku Yamuna holiday
and shaitan loves putting people in this dichotomy. Either you have to be a perfect Muslim or you're a hypocrite because you're not good enough. Look at this hadith woodsy button sisters, Allah subhanho wa Taala says and I will summarize it quickly
my since my servant commits a sin
I've never Abdi them then
Charlie Mandela who Robin
My servant commits a sin
and he knows that he has a lord young Pharaoh them. Well yeah.
He knows that he has a lord that will forgive him, but also will hold him accountable and punish him.
And then he would say Oh ALLAH forgive me.
Allah homophily them be and then Allah will forgive him and then he will do it again. And then he will ask Allah for forgiveness. And Allah will say, My servant has sinned, he knows that he has a Lord who forgives and can also punish him
and he does it again.
So much so to the point that this person
will be forgiven by Allah subhanho wa taala.
So, on the surface level, when you read this hadith, you will think wow, so this person is
sending, asking for forgiveness, sending asking for forgiveness. So that means he wasn't really sincere when he was asking for forgiveness, right? No.
The Human Condition is very interesting. And that is it is very possible for a person to completely forget themselves, when they are entrapped by their own desires and their whims that when they come back to Allah subhanho wa Taala every time repeatedly that they are truly sincere to Allah subhanho wa Taala even if they have done it over and over and over again. That is possible.
And that is why Allah subhanahu wata, Allah forgives.
No sin that you have done is too great, too offensive, too nasty, too rude for Allah's mercy. Allah's Mercy encompasses everything.
And so when some people say, Oh, well you know what I'm going to
Oh anyways, brothers and sisters, you cannot handle *.
Easily said on the tongue Well, I'm just going to * anyways. You cannot handle it none of us can handle it not even for a second.
So don't try to posture yourself in front of Allah as if you're not in need of his forgiveness by saying Well, too bad. I've already done so much anyways.
You need Allah's forgiveness more than anything else
Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa Salatu was Salam ala Rasulillah Karim Nabina Muhammad wa ala early he was the HMI about brothers and sisters, we are living in a time now.
We are living in a very special time
where certain sins and certain behaviors and certain ways of life are openly promoted shamelessly proudly,
without any sort of hesitation.
And that is, well this is what it is. I should be true to myself, I should be genuine with myself.
Therefore why should I have to change
what Allah who you read on your toolbar Aleikum, Allah wants to forgive you?
Well, you need to let either your TV Runa, shallaki, intermedial, mela and Alima. And those people who want to follow their desires, what do they want you to do? They want you to also to digress with them into a great deviation. It's not just enough that they indulge themselves in their own sins, but they need everyone else to indulge in it or affirm it. So they don't feel less guilty about it.
But then sisters
in western Imam Muhammad,
there is a beautiful Hadith of the Prophet. So I said, and I want to end off with this hadith.
On the Day of Judgment,
there will be a servant at the very forefront of the creation.
And Allah subhanho wa Taala will shield them from the from all the other creation, the other Christian can see that there is a person up in the front, but they cannot here and Allah subhanaw taala will have this conversation with the servant.
Allah subhanaw taala will tell this servant, open up read from your book of good deeds.
Then the servant will look at his book of good deeds and he will see a good deed that he has done.
And I want you to imagine this right now picture this.
And when he reads this good deed, his face lights up, he smiles He's excited.
Allah subhanahu wa Tada says, I have accepted your good deed.
I want you to think about that. If Allah was to tell you I accept your good deed that's worth more than the whole universe.
And then he will prostrate to Allah in thanks.
Then Allah will see now read from your book of bad deeds, and his face will turn sad and solid and dark from the fear of Allah knowing.
And he and Allah will ask him did you do this? He said yes, yes, I have.
Allah subhanho wa Taala will say, indeed I have forgiven you for the sin.
Then this process will repeat over and over and over again. And the people from far they don't know what is going on. All they see is a person prostrating getting up prostrating and going back just like that. One for acknowledging the sin, one for thanking Allah for accepting the good deed. And these people will say, this person has never committed a sin in their life.
But they don't know that conversation between them between that person I've lost count Allah. And this secrecy this privacy that Allah grants this person
is because of this person who used to hide their own sins brothers and sisters.
And they used to indulge in many good deeds. We ask Allah Subhana Allah to forgive us. We ask Allah subhanaw taala to soften our hearts. We ask Allah subhanahu wa taala to protect us from all sins. We ask Allah
was trying to water Allah to give us the best in this world and to give us the best in the next life and to protect us from the Hellfire robbing it and if you didn't know has an awful awful lot to say no Canada but not robbing Allah to Zuko. lugana about the data no habla Milan Kurama in Antigua masala
