Ali Hammuda – A Life with Allah #06 Al-Ghafr (The Forgiving)

			We visit clinics and surgeries and we're willing to spend every penny to our name and search for
good health.
		

			And we knock on every door in search for happiness and peace of mind. We visit scholars and
psychologists and even our keys in the hope of alleviating our pains and dispelling our fears. Not
knowing that in many cases at least,
		

			the root cause of that illness was simply a sin that required an apology to Allah and a humble
retreat to His Majestic Name, Allah for
		

			you.
		

			We translate this Majestic Name as the most forgiving.
		

			But a deeper look uncovers a much deeper meaning. The word allow for is from a lover which refers to
adultery or to assist recovering and concealing something. And that's why when the Arabs want to say
that so and so died his gray hair, they say Guevara, a Schabel kebab again, you hear that word
Huffer. When speaking about hair dye, because it involves covering
		

			and also the word that they use for battle helmets is metaphor because it covers the head and
protects it from harm. So from these examples, you've probably noticed two primary meanings from the
term of refer, which is protection from harm, and veiling from exposure. Now, if you've understood
this, you've understood the name of Allah Allah for a Lord who hides the sins of man and conceals
his faults, veiling his treacherous behavior so as to not humiliate him, whilst at the same time
looking for is he who shields him, protects him from the hands of those sins, by accepting his
repentance, replacing the sins into good deeds, and even loving him more than he did before the sin.
		

			That's different to us. After we forgive, we can love that from a distance. But when Allah for
forgives, He loves from a place even closer than before La Ilaha illa Allah that is in order to be
appreciated and loved.
		

			And forgiveness is a universally admired trait. We are inclined to those who pardon, particularly
when the victim did not need to do so. In April 2015, Salahuddin jet mood a delivery driver for
Pizza Hut,
		

			was making one of his last deliveries of his shift when he was robbed, and an apartment in Kentucky.
In us he was stabbed to death.
		

			What caught the headlines, however, was what happened during the court hearing of the murder. The
father, the father of Salahuddin was present. And he came eye to eye with his son's killer. And the
father addressed him and he said that, you know, it's been two years and seven months of suffering
along with many nightmares. But I am angry at the devil who misguided you and misled you to do such
a horrible crime.
		

			I don't blame you. I'm not angry at you, I forgive you. And then he said to him that the door of
opportunity for God to forgive you is open reach out to him you have a new chapter of good life
comics.
		

			Now the defendant was sentenced to 31 years in prison. But before he was taken away in cuffs,
salehoo Dean's father embraced him he hugged him.
		

			And the defendant wept, the father whispered into his ear to do good deeds, and that when he is
released from prison,
		

			to have confidence that Allah is forgiving. Now, at that moment, Subhan Allah, the sounds of heavy
crying from the attendees could be heard.
		

			When the judge was reduced to tears, she called for a break. So we admire these examples. Yet at the
core of it is an example of forgiveness between two equal human beings. So what then are forgiveness
when it happens between two who are very different to one another?
		

			When a crime was not between two equal human beings, but between a slave and the Supreme Master, the
helpless, when the Supreme King, the deficient and the perfect, the created and the creator? how
intensely should he be loved, for the forgiveness that He shows?
		

			This love is then intensified in your heart towards him. When you think about the sheer number of
ways that Allah Allah for has given for people to have their sins cleansed from them, as if they
never did them, no less than 10 different ways. Three ways in the life of this world, Count with me.
Toba is one way to have those things arranged to repentance, calamities, that by their nature
erasings number three good deeds which by their nature erasings
		

			But if you still have sins by the time you pass away, don't worry there are another three
opportunities but from within your grave
		

			the funeral prayer that is performed over you
		

			good deeds that you have left behind that continue to benefit you in the grave. Number six, the
traumas, which many people will experience in the grave.
		

			If however, the Day of Judgment begins and you're still carrying sins and the grave delivery then
don't worry, another three. Number seven, the horrors that people experience on the day of reckoning
that array sins number eight, the standing on the playoff plane of resurrection for 50,000 years.
Number nine, the intercession of the intercessors and as for the 10th way,
		

			it is the greatest and most encompassing of them all than the most hopeful. It is through the mercy
of Allah subhanho wa Taala Illallah and that is why Abdullah Hebron or Mr. Old he would say Allah
he's going to forgive people on the Day of Judgment in a way that cannot be imagined by any human
being.
		

			Is this not a lord worthy of being adored and loved ya Allah you have them in doubt anyone? Joe Tony
refer to like an American I mean Kerala or valley. Allah said, Oh, son of Adam, as long as you call
upon me and ask me, I shall continue to forgive you for what you have done. And I will not mind you
have been there Adam. Hello Bella to the new book. I'm Anna Santa Ethan Mr. Furth any refer to Luca
Wallah Oh dolly oh son of Adam. Allah said, where are your sins to reach the clouds of the sky? Then
you are to ask for forgiveness of me. I would forgive you and I would not mind you have to add them.
		

			Now at a tiny bit corabi RB haha. So Makita Nila to Sri Kobushi. It took me corabi hamartia. Oh son
of Adam, Allah says, Were you to come to me with sins, nearly as great as the but having not
associated partners with me.
		

			I will bring you forgiveness as much as Allahu Akbar. Think about who Allah isn't and think about
who you are. Which of the two is in need of the other? Which of the two depends entirely on the
other, which of the two cannot function for a split second without the other?
		

			The answer doesn't need spilling out.
		

			Yet look at the manner in which he calls you back. Why does he do this?
		

			Because you read Allahu and you have fever and come Allah wants to lighten your load.
		

			You see, there are so many forms of luggage that man shoulders throughout his life.
		

			The luggage of work, illness, debts and dependents stress, so on.
		

			But there is no luggage in existence that is more steady with some your back and more damaging to
your peace of mind and more detrimental to your hereafter than the luggage of sins.
		

			It's this luggage that expelled IBLEES from Allah's mercy and what drowned the Pharaoh and his
people and what caused the earth to swallow up Corona and his riches and what annihilated the
civilizations of higher than fumbled the people of low tribe. It's this luggage
		

			that causes in many, if not most cases, the loss of peace of mind and contentment and the goodly
life. Since Abdullahi madness he said good deeds bring about light in one's face, luminosity in
one's heart expanse in provisions, strength to the body and loving the hearts of the people. And
since he says bring about darkness to one's face, darkness to one's heart weakness to one's body,
listening in ones provisions and hatred within the hearts of people.
		

			Anyone who believes that happiness can be found in other than Allah's obedience, has thought the
worst of ALLAH SubhanA data. So take it as a rule in life. The fatigue or the rest that your soul
feels is proportional to how far or close it is to Allah? Because we all know how it feels to be
torn between two items of clothing, or torn between two job opportunities or torn in the decision to
travel or not. So what then have a person who is constantly torn between the life of sin and the
life of worship?
		

			Can such a person rest?
		

			Of course not. So Allah Allah for he knew very well that sins will bring misery to your life. And it
will change your daylight hours to darkness and convert your certainties into doubts and make your
private time endless moment
		

			of agony.
		

			Allah knew this. So he sent you a lifeboat to hold on to. This the name of Allah Hunka for and there
is a flag on this lifeboat, and it reads when a yarmulke Sue and we have a limit officer who with
whom you're stuck Sheila Yoji de la hora Rahima. Whoever does evil or wrongs his soul then asks God
for forgiveness we'll find that Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
		

			A man nicknamed Ibotta will approach the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and he said to him are
Atia gradually anomalous Luba for lumea through communication? What would you say of a person who's
committed every sin out there?
		

			Who have you daily Columbia to Karjat, and voila, they are jet and for whom in Toba? In fact, he
hasn't left out a single minor or major sin out there. He's done. He's done them all. Can this
person be forgiven?
		

			Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam asked him have you embraced Islam? The man said, I testify that
none is to be worshipped but Allah You are the messenger of Allah.
		

			The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said to him in that case, yes.
		

			Do good deeds, desist from sinning, and Allah who will change every one of those sins into good
deeds.
		

			Now the man he couldn't believe what he had just heard, and he said what other it are for jrrt Even
my treacherous ones, even my monstrous ones. Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Yes, so the
man walked away, saying, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, again and again until he disappeared.
		

			So a Lord who was not only offering to erase your every sin, but to change them into good deeds,
good deeds that you never actually did in your life is the Lord who has not disadvantaged you in any
way.
		

			And is the Lord who wants you who wants to to turn a new leaf in your life. But there is more. And
this is where it gets even more baffling.
		

			The Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam illustrates an imaginary scenario to help us
understand the level of Allah's happiness to have you back. It's a scenario of a person who was
saved from a near death experience. Honestly, really listen to that until it sinks in.
		

			The prophets Allah Allahu alayhi wa sallam, he said that I swear by Allah, that Allah is happier
with the repentance of a believer than a person imagine than a person who set out on a journey in an
open arid desert. And during the journey, he retreated to the shade of a tree and fell asleep, he
woke up only to notice that his camel had run away.
		

			So he made his way to a nearby cliff to look around and he couldn't see anything. He went to another
cliff, he couldn't see anything. So he said to himself, I'm going to go back to the shade, and stay
there until death.
		

			And I want you to imagine the level of his grief. I want you to imagine the level of his grief as he
is waiting for a slow and torturous death to claim him. And as he is sat there in despair, all of a
sudden, he sees his candle making its way back to him. And he's so happy, he grabs it by the reins,
and he, he says in extreme joy, Oh Allah, you are my slave, and I am your Lord. And the Prophet said
that he made the mistake due to his extreme happiness.
		

			SubhanAllah. So take advantage of this. And I'll tell you how.
		

			By gathering every one of your sins before your eyes, load them up, all of them, the public and
private ones that are old and recent ones that minor and major ones, even those you feel so
uncomfortable thinking about. As well as those sins that you feel can never be erased. Bring them
all together, until you until your eye to eye with them, and then boldly declare, Oh Allah, I swear
by your might and glory, that you will forgive me for these. You will remove them from my life. You
will veil me from their shame, you will replace them into good deeds, you will purify my heart from
their poisonous effects. And you are the one who made me daring and ambitious in this request of
		

			mine. Because you told me that your name is Alec before
		

			then after that if for a single moment you doubt Allah's happiness to hear those words from you, and
his willingness to honor your every request that you have to listen to this episode. One more time.
