How do we make a sincere, honest tawbah

00:00:03 --> 00:00:05

to Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala?

00:00:06 --> 00:00:07

Allah azza wa jal, he said, يَا أَيُّهَا

00:00:07 --> 00:00:11

الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا تُوبُوا إِلَى اللَّهِ تَوْبَةً نَصُوحًا O

00:00:11 --> 00:00:15

you who believe, make a sincere and an

00:00:15 --> 00:00:18

honest tawbah to Allah azza wa jal, repentance.

00:00:18 --> 00:00:20

So that involves six things.

00:00:20 --> 00:00:24

Number one, that you repent from all your

00:00:24 --> 00:00:27

sins, the minor, the major, the ones that

00:00:27 --> 00:00:29

you know, the ones that you don't know,

00:00:29 --> 00:00:31

the ones that you committed publicly, the ones

00:00:31 --> 00:00:33

that you committed privately, the ones that you

00:00:33 --> 00:00:36

committed jokingly, the ones that you did intentionally,

00:00:36 --> 00:00:40

unintentionally, all of them you include them in

00:00:40 --> 00:00:42

your tawbah and with that type of intention.

00:00:43 --> 00:00:47

Number two, you must repent out of fear

00:00:47 --> 00:00:49

of Allah azza wa jal.

00:00:49 --> 00:00:53

So you're not repenting from the sins because

00:00:53 --> 00:00:57

they've just become boring and you've grown out

00:00:57 --> 00:00:57

of them.

00:00:57 --> 00:01:00

No, you must make the repentance because you

00:01:00 --> 00:01:03

fear Allah azza wa jal and you fear

00:01:03 --> 00:01:06

the hellfire and you fear the displeasure of

00:01:06 --> 00:01:07

Allah azza wa jal.

00:01:08 --> 00:01:10

So that should be the intention when you're

00:01:10 --> 00:01:13

making your repentance to Allah azza wa jal.

00:01:13 --> 00:01:15

Number three, it must be in the correct

00:01:15 --> 00:01:16

time.

00:01:16 --> 00:01:19

So long as you're living, so long as

00:01:19 --> 00:01:21

the sun hasn't reached or come out from

00:01:21 --> 00:01:25

the West and your soul hasn't reached the

00:01:25 --> 00:01:28

throat, then every time would be a correct

00:01:28 --> 00:01:30

time for a tawbah.

00:01:31 --> 00:01:33

If the sun rises from the West or

00:01:33 --> 00:01:35

the soul has reached the throat.

00:01:35 --> 00:01:37

It's not a time for tawbah.

00:01:37 --> 00:01:38

Tawbah will not be accepted.

00:01:38 --> 00:01:41

Repentance will not be accepted at that time.

00:01:42 --> 00:01:45

Number four is that you regret what you

00:01:45 --> 00:01:45

did.

00:01:45 --> 00:01:48

You regret disobeying Allah azza wa jal.

00:01:48 --> 00:01:51

You regret that you used the blessings of

00:01:51 --> 00:01:55

Allah to disobey him because every disobedience we

00:01:55 --> 00:01:57

do is with a blessing Allah gave us.

00:01:58 --> 00:02:00

If we disobeyed Allah with our hands, that's

00:02:00 --> 00:02:01

a blessing Allah gave us.

00:02:02 --> 00:02:04

If you disobeyed Allah with our eyes, that's

00:02:04 --> 00:02:05

a blessing He gave us.

00:02:05 --> 00:02:07

If we disobey Allah with our tongue, that's

00:02:07 --> 00:02:08

a blessing He gave us.

00:02:08 --> 00:02:10

Without E, that's a blessing He gave us.

00:02:10 --> 00:02:13

So we regret that we disobeyed Allah with

00:02:13 --> 00:02:15

blessings He gave us.

00:02:15 --> 00:02:18

number five you stop the sin that's in

00:02:18 --> 00:02:21

the present you'll stop it right now and

00:02:21 --> 00:02:25

number six you intend never to return the

00:02:25 --> 00:02:28

sin afterwards that would be an honest sincere

00:02:28 --> 00:02:31

toward number six is that you do not

00:02:31 --> 00:02:35

intend to go back to that sin and

00:02:35 --> 00:02:37

the thing is you might end up falling

00:02:37 --> 00:02:40

into that sin but that doesn't matter that

00:02:40 --> 00:02:43

will not invalidate your towa because from the

00:02:43 --> 00:02:47

condition of a toba is to not intend

00:02:47 --> 00:02:52

to fall into the sin but it's not

00:02:52 --> 00:02:54

from the conditions that you never fall into

00:02:54 --> 00:02:57

the sin afterwards you might fall into the

00:02:57 --> 00:02:59

sin afterwards but never intend to go back

00:02:59 --> 00:03:02

into it these are six matters if you

00:03:02 --> 00:03:04

were to make sure of when you make

00:03:04 --> 00:03:07

a toba then that means your toba is

00:03:07 --> 00:03:10

the highest and the strongest toba a human

00:03:10 --> 00:03:12

being could possibly make we ask Allah to

00:03:12 --> 00:03:15

grant us a sincere and an honest toba

00:03:15 --> 00:03:17

in our life and to grant us a

00:03:17 --> 00:03:20

sincere and an honest toba before our death
