			Salam alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh Smilla will hamdu lillah wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah he
wanted earlier he was so happy he Amanullah your brothers and sisters, despite the challenges
associated with being a Muslim in the 21st century, whether it's the endless variety of sins, the
unlimited access to them, the active deformation of those who choose to unsubscribe from the and
Islamic lifestyle, whatever it may be, we still have every right to be hopeful to be optimistic.
		
00:00:50 --> 00:01:17
			One of those reasons is because of the ever increasing interest in the alternative lifestyle, a
lifestyle that is closer to Allah subhanaw taala and nearer to the happiness of this world and the
Hereafter, I speak about people who are in regret of their past fed up with their sins, sick and
tired of being miserable, and so their eyes and their souls have finally turned towards telega
repentance.
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:35
			This blessed group of people, however, they have complaints, they complain of what they perceive to
be obstacles that limit their ability to properly repent. Some of these obstacles involve other
people, third parties,
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:47
			whilst other challenges are purely against themselves. This session is simply an effort to convince
the sincere seeker of this alternative lifestyle who wants to turn a new leaf
		
00:01:48 --> 00:02:25
			that these obstacles are illusionary and that the happiness of being a practicing reformed Muslim is
not far fetched at all, it is nearby. So let us begin dismantling these arguments, one after the
other, the first perceived illusionary obstacle is this. He says it's only among nursing. It's
minor. Other people are doing follow us. See, some of us dear brothers and sisters, despite our
shortcomings, we want to justify you want to justify them as well. So we say things like look
comparatively speaking, it's only a small thing. Right now that statement
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:36
			could only be uttered by someone who doesn't see Allah subhanaw taala in the light that he deserves
to be seen. And I want you to think about the words of Prophet knew, for example,
		
00:02:37 --> 00:03:02
			who had a people who believed him? What did he say to them powerful words, heart melting words,
which glow so brightly with the love and the awe of Allah that he had of his Creator. He said to
them, Myrna Coppola told Juna Lillahi wa Cara, what is the matter with you that you do not attribute
to Allah? Do you grant your now Allah Coolatta junella Hirakata
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:04
			he sang to them?
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:07
			Why do you not see Allah as great?
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:13
			Why do you not feel the Majesty of Allah subhanaw taala within you.
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:32
			This was the majesty and the grandeur of the all which every prophet and messenger experienced. And
so they exerted every effort to convey this experience and inner feeling to other people, the album
or the sovereignty, the all the glory of Allah. We say it's a minor sin.
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:46
			What about Allah Abdullah? Hey, Norma, the rights of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam once
recited the following area when he was standing on the pulpit speaking to the Muslims, where Allah
says one cada hula haka de
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:53
			well I will do Jeremy Corbyn dot who Yeoman Tiana was sent our tomato to be a meanie.
		
00:03:55 --> 00:04:39
			So behind the hotel, and now you should be cool. They have not recognized Allah with the recognition
that he is worthy on whilst on the Day of Resurrection, the whole earth will be in his grasp, and
the heavens will be rolled up in his right hand. So Glory be to Him, and may He be exalted over what
they associate with him. So he was reciting this powerful idea as he was standing on the pulpit
speaking to the Muslims, but listen what happened. Abdullah him longer than a writer he continues to
say what I saw Allah He sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, you're all to her Cazenovia de what you heard
Rico her Yahoo be her oh you will be will be how are you to be a uma Jido Rob Neff ser who an Al
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:59
			Jabbar Anil Musa Kabir an Al Aziz al Karim. He said the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was
moving his hand back and forward telling us that Allah will be praising himself on the Day of
Judgment saying, I am the compiler. I am the Supreme I am the mighty I am the generous for Raja
Sabha Rasulillah
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:14
			He sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and Bill Barr at the corner. Playa Kuranda behind the pulpit began to
shake as he was speaking. It was moving and changing till we said it's about to collapse. He's about
to fall.
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:22
			This is who Allah Almighty was in the heart of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam shall no sin
was ever considered by him as small.
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:33
			The exact same thing can be said about the companions and a symptomatic, he said in a con la luna
Allah, Allah and here that coffee or Unicom
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:45
			Mina, Shari guna now dua, Allah Allah Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in a will be God. He
says today, you indulge in things that you see as
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:57
			more insignificant than a strand of hair. At the time of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam we
consider those same doings as obliterated, demolish his.
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:04
			So brothers and sisters, look, a person may commit what is a minor sin.
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:18
			But because of the carelessness involved, the boldness, the belittlement, the lack of Hyak shyness
of Allah, such a sin is transformed into a major one, not necessarily because of the sin itself.
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:44
			But because of the mentality that came with it. It's only minor, he says, others are doing far
worse, she insists. No, you respond to that by saying Latham's role in our slavery then be when I
can invoke Illa, Allah T Manasa it, do not look at the smallness of the sin. But consider the
greatness of the one whom you have just disobeyed your Allah.
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:57
			That was the message communicated by our beloved son Allahu alayhi wa sallam when he said to his
wife, ha ha ha Isha to yaki. One will have figurative do know in the law Herman Allah heeta polybag
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:10
			Oh ha Isha. Beware of the sins that people deem insignificant, because they have pursuers from
Allah, they have pursuers from Allah.
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:40
			So, regardless of what your weakness may be, beware of allowing your heart to settle with it.
Because the one who knocks on the door of a sin with contentment is very different to the one who
knocks on the door of a sin but with burning guilt, and a bleeding heart. That natural category of
people are so close to the Mercy of Allah, even with their sins. So say it's the fear of Allah.
Allah forgive me Chesterfield, Allah.
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:49
			The second argument we want to dismantle he or she may say, if I knew that Allah would forgive a
person like me, I would not hesitate to repent.
		
00:07:51 --> 00:08:25
			Now Yeah, it's true. Some people are ready from this moment to revamp their life. They're willing to
make the difficult decisions from a financial perspective, their investments, their clothing,
relationships, weekend's social media, friends, breast of it, but he argues, I'm hesitant. I have no
guarantee that I will be pardoned by Allah. Why would Allah pardon a man a woman like me with what I
have done to date? See, you're not the very first to worry about this. It actually bothered some of
the companions before they embraced Islam. When Muhammad Abdullah has
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:35
			eventually decided to embrace Islam, he approached the prophets of Allah Allah who has extended his
hand to pledge allegiance to become a Muslim, and then he abruptly withdrew.
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:48
			Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said to him, what's wrong? 100 Have you changed your mind? He
said, I have a condition. The Prophet said What is your condition? He said that my sins are
forgiven.
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:52
			And here the prophets Allah Allahu alayhi wa sallam said to him,
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:54
			and I named them
		
00:08:55 --> 00:09:04
			and an Al Islam or yeah honeymooner kind of Kabbalah. One then Hirata demon Makanda. Kabbalah one
that hijab you had him Oh, my kind of level Oh, hammer.
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:06
			Didn't you know
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:23
			that embracing Islam brings down all of the sins before it and that the migration from Mecca to
Medina brings down all of the sins before it and the Hajj, Allahu Akbar, brings down all of the sins
before it.
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:34
			Part of perfecting one's repentance is knowing with certainty, that Allah subhanaw taala can erase
every one of your crimes,
		
00:09:36 --> 00:10:00
			making them as if you never did them as if they never existed, he can do that. And not only that,
this is the mind boggling one. Allah is happier with your repentance than you are. Allah is happier
with your repentance and a person who is saved from a near death experience really allow that one to
simmer for a moment. In an amazing analogy, the prophets Allah Allah
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:02
			While he was setting them said, I swear by Allah.
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:19
			Allah is happier with the repentance of a believing servant than a person imagine than a person who
set out on a journey in an open waterless desert. During their journey. He retreated to the shade of
a tree fell asleep.
		
00:10:20 --> 00:11:06
			He woke up only to notice that his camel had run away with all of his provisions on his back. He
made his way to a nearby cliff to look around, he couldn't see anything. And another cliff Cliff he
looked around, he couldn't see anything. And then he said to himself in despair, REO Isla McCarney
lady come to fee for a call Luffy he had the amount. I'm gonna go back to the shade. I will wait
there until death comes to me, Ya Allah. And as he sat in despair imagine, all of a sudden he sees
his camel making its way back, dragging its rains imagined his happiness. This man then grabs the
camel by its rains and enjoy he says hola hola and Daddy were another book by my Lord, You are my
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:27
			slave, and I am your God. He made a mistake due to extreme joy. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam comments on this scenario by saying from Allah who I shall do Farahan be tell about the Abdi
mean has a bureau hate Bureau hate it He Allah is happier with a person's repentance than that man
is with his returning capital.
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:41
			All of that analogy is to show you Allah is happy when you come back to him happier than that man.
And the Lord who displays this type of happiness when you change your ways. That's a kind Lord. I
said, generous and merciful Lord,
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:51
			and your invite to repent has come directly from him. And if you respond, his happiness will be as
you just heard. So what are you waiting for?
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:55
			So you're stuck for Allah. Say you're stuck feeling Ma?
		
00:11:56 --> 00:12:05
			Argument number three, he or she may say, look, since repentance resets my sins to zero and it does
just that, what about the years that I've wasted?
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:08
			That's a valid concern.
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:25
			See che fine. He will attempt to derail somebody from the path of repentance by saying other people
are so ahead of you. I mean, okay, you repent, your sins are erased, but you are hopelessly behind
10 years 2030 years behind.
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:43
			Alhamdulillah by Allah's mercy, He has taken it upon His divine self to dispel this incorrect
whispering of shape on making a promise that no sinner could ever have dreamed of. What is the
promise? Listen carefully. Allah Jalla Jalla who says
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:49
			Ilam and tada on? Why Mila, I'm Anna Solley. Ha,
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:55
			ha You did Allahu sejati him Hassan. Okay, and Allahu Allah for
		
00:12:57 --> 00:13:06
			except for those who repent, and they believe and they work righteous deeds for them, Allah will
replace their sins into good into good deeds.
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:17
			Allah will replace their sins into good deeds, not merely erase them, but to replace them into good
deeds. By the way, what does it mean that Allah will replace their sins into good deeds?
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:44
			Some scholars have argued that it means that Allah will inspire them to do good in place of their
sins. So he will replace bad traits with good traits, etcetera, bad beliefs, good, good beliefs.
Others have argued a literal understanding of the idea where things are actually transformed into
good deeds. Imagine Xena fornication transformed your good deed alcohol transmitted a good deed.
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:53
			And there is an evidence the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said you'll be illogical in fire
who said Who unsavory that will be he was a hero Kibera
		
00:13:54 --> 00:14:04
			Allah can be all Kibera a man will be brought on the day of judgment, and it will be said to the
angels interrogate him about his minor sins, but hide from him the major ones.
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:14
			So he will begin to hear the interrogation as he is told I mean, take a look at the young Makeda
Amil together
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:25
			it will be said to him You did such and such on day such and such. And remember such and such sin on
day such and such how embarrassing your Allah may Allah forgive us.
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:59
			Then he will be given the price it will be sent for you call hula hoop. So, in the Aloka McCanna
Coolessay at in high center. You will have every sin that you've committed a good deed in its place,
a good deed in its place. Then the man will announce that he will say your umbilical Daniel Tasha
Allah Ohana my Lord. The man will say I've committed other sins. Where are my major sins? I don't
see them here. He wants to see them being replaced into good deeds as well. And here are the
prophets Allah Allahu alayhi wa sallam smiled at
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:14
			turbojet no Ijebu he smiled till his blessed molar teeth were visible Subhanallah it is a cause for
celebration, good sins replaced into good deeds for he who repents, how are you disadvantaged?
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:22
			And I one of my favorite narrations is that which was narrated by aborto. In the nickname his actual
name is Shep LM dude.
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:26
			Where he approached the prophets of Allah who I knew he was sent him and said,
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:42
			Alright, Raju and Amina zuba Kula. So then you have to come in Harsha. Yeah. What was he the only
Columbia took Harjit and wallah, they are Japanese. for HANA home in Tonga, Messenger of Allah, what
would you say about a person
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:47
			who has committed every sin under the sun?
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:52
			He hasn't left a single one of them out, can he be forgiven?
		
00:15:53 --> 00:16:09
			The prophets of Allah Almighty who has sinned and asked him a question Hello As Salam Have you
embraced Islam? The man said, I'm a shadow under in, in Allah wa Julio actually color. One Nikka
Rasulullah. He said, As for me, I testify that no one has the right to be worshipped but Allah
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:13
			and I testify that you are indeed the Messenger of Allah.
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:16
			The man was a Muslim.
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:19
			So the response was phenomenal.
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:50
			The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said to him now Yes, like I forgive you to follow Herat.
What a true Costa yd viaja Aloha Nila Holika aka hieratic, Kula Han. He said in that case, yes. Do
good deeds, here are the conditions, do good deeds, desist from sinning, and Allah will do what
Allah will change every one of your sins into good deeds. The man could not believe what he just
had.
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:58
			And so he said, whether it was her generosity, even my treacherous ones,
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:01
			even my monstrous ones,
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:04
			the Prophet sallallahu wasallam said yes.
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:14
			The man walked away, saying Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, over and over again till he disappeared.
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:21
			So with your repentance, nevermind your sins being raised as if they never existed,
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:38
			but they are converted into good deeds that will please you on the Day of Judgment. So how are you
disadvantage? Why is tele being delayed? How are you behind? Just say a stockfeed Allah I still feel
Allah from the depths of your heart and Allah Allah Allah to fulfill his promise.
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:50
			Argument number four, brother or sister may say I've chosen the path of repentance, but I have now
pressure from my family and friends. It's unbearable to go back to the old ways.
		
00:17:51 --> 00:18:10
			And look, I'll be honest with you, this is the way of every prophet and messenger every righteous
revivalist every practicing Muslim of the past, present and future. They are harassed by people, and
at times by the closest of people to them, but don't give up. And don't give people more attention
than they are worth remember that.
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:20
			Particularly when they market themselves for you as a better option than Allah a better option that
is a better option than that home of the Hereafter.
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:39
			Many of our bad decisions in life the Islamic ones, as well are heavily influenced by people. And we
may not see the loss of doing so today but on the day of judgment, that will be the beginning of all
horrifying revelation. Why?
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:43
			Because people will start this owning one another. Allah said for either
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:47
			at least for
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:59
			ilmiah role not only in XP, when that Deafening Blast comes the Day of Judgment. On that day you
will see man fleeing from his brother
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:06
			will owe me he Irby and he will flee from his mother and his father.
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:15
			Whilst Ah Hey Betty, he went Bernie, and he will flee from his wife and from his children. How come
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:28
			NyQuil name Reem, in whom young woman either you shall know ye ogni because every man on the Day of
Judgment will have enough to make him careless of others.
		
00:19:29 --> 00:20:00
			People will flee and this old one another one a day of judgment, why give them more attention than
they deserve? In fact, I can remember he says that a man will approach his wife on the day of
judgment and He will say to her what type of husband was it Are you well income to Lucky? What type
of husband was it you in life? She will say you are a wonderful husband. She will praise Him that He
will say to her for in the global elite glioma, hasta la Wahida to heavy la Lally, Anjuman
mediterranea. I have a request on my wife
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:00
			From you,
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:12
			on this day that you just give me gift me with one of your good deeds please. Perhaps Allah will
save me from the horrors of what you see. She says to him, I said, I'm not allowed.
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:36
			You have asked for something so small and easy to give. When I can Neela otaku unworldly acacia and
at the house of Miss Lindsay Taha, however I'm sorry, I cannot fulfill your request. On this day, I
fear exactly what you are afraid of, like family and friends, children.
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:41
			Today, they may not leave you alone.
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:53
			Today, they may employ every technique to bring you back to your old ways back your senses.
Apparently, they may send you messages remind you of the good old times of the past.
		
00:20:54 --> 00:21:09
			And this becomes even more of a challenge when the people have hair, goodness, religion, knowledge
Eman. They're not giving you the time that you need of them. I know the problem is compounded, it
becomes more challenging, I'm with you. But remember the instructions that Allah gave to His
Messenger
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:24
			sallallahu alayhi wa sallam who was being pressured by his locals to stop praying. Allah said to
him, cannot lead to Tahoe wasn't good was terrible. DO NOT OBEY Him. This is your motto in life.
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:42
			DO NOT OBEY Him and prostrate and draw nearer to Allah. so courageously cast aside every human
obstacle between you and Allah don't allow them to interfere, don't give them more worth than they
deserve. And see in the liberated we are stuck feeling lost. People love
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:45
			argument number five.
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:55
			A brother or sister may say I want to repent but friends are threatening me. They say that if I walk
away, they will expose me difficult so much material on me.
		
00:21:56 --> 00:22:16
			Even if they've got photos, videos, documents, other forms of proof, succumbing to their blackmail,
means that should you do as they wish and go back to them and delay your repentance again. Then when
you do eventually choose to repent later on, they're only going to have more material against you.
Now you're a dignified Muslim.
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:21
			You're not to be toyed with by the allies of shaytaan
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:24
			I agree. It is pressurizing.
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:30
			But if you resist it, with reliance upon Allah,
		
00:22:31 --> 00:23:07
			the plots of Shavon remember by their nature, they are weak and they will begin to wither away and
they will become insha Allah sooner or later a memory of the past you have nothing to worry about as
Allah said, in Kedah, shaytani cannot bind via the plotting of shaytan is by its nature very weak.
Now, don't get me wrong. It's a very unenviable situation to be in where for example, your ex lover
calls you, threatens you that you refuse to go back with him or her. They will share the photos they
will share the videos, family and friends.
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:11
			But Allah has promised to support the true believers.
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:20
			He promised He said in Allah, you will die if you're one in that era. And Allah defends those who
believe he defends with them.
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:26
			And look in all situations. If in the worst case scenario,
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:34
			what you fear comes to pass on some of this information gets into the public domain offer an
explanation.
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:47
			Yeah, I was mistaken say I was in a bad place. I have repented to Allah I've changed my waist what
what more can I do? And let us always remind ourselves,
		
00:23:48 --> 00:24:14
			that the ultimate humiliation is not being exposed in front of 100 or 1000 or so people today is the
ultimate humiliation is when your sins are read out before Allah and the angels and the jinn and all
of humanity, prophets and messengers at large, including them all the rest of creation. That is the
meaning of true humiliation sins that were not changed and repented from today. That is humiliation.
		
00:24:15 --> 00:24:42
			That is the fate of the person who avoids repentance, regardless of the price, dear brothers and
sisters that you and I need to pay for it today. In the meantime, there are a few droplets
applications that you should hold tight to Abu Musa Charlene writes that the messenger sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam kinda either half a Coleman Allah Allah Allah in geography no hurry him. When all
the becoming Shuri him he said whenever the messenger salAllahu alayhi wa sallam feared
		
00:24:43 --> 00:24:48
			the harm of a people. He would make a particular to ha what was it?
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:58
			Hola Hola, Indonesia Handwerker so you know holding one older we can make sure or memorize it which
means Oh Allah, we ask you to face to them.
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:04
			We ask you to face them, and we seek Your protection against their evil.
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:22
			And in every morning and every evening there was a dua that the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam would say and part of it included Allah home was to our it were amulet allottee Oh ALLAH
cover my weaknesses. Cover my shame and set at ease my dismay.
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:26
			So don't allow the threat
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:33
			of being exposed. prevent you from the success that comes with repentance
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:42
			and with confidence and with reliance upon Allah subhanaw taala Si, si si, Ma, Allah forgive me so
yes, there
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:52
			are six obstacle that stands in the way of he or she wants to repent. They say I can't forgive
myself for what I've done in the past. It's stressing me out.
		
00:25:54 --> 00:26:09
			So he or she may have cried out their hearts in repentance tilba they've changed their circle of
friends, they re re shuffled their life priorities, but still, the ghost of their sinful past never
ceases to haunt them.
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:19
			Even when they socialize, they eat, they walk to work, they sleep, the the guilt of having crossed
Allah's lines, it just never leaves them.
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:46
			So what to do in that situation? First of all, it's very important to note that that sentiment is a
positive sign of Eman to feel that regret and shame How could I the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam said in me No, you're either woulda hookah hookah I do data Gemini in your half Who are ya
Lee? We're in the third year or Yasuda who can do bobbin Mara Allah and fee for color bat Hi cada.
		
00:26:48 --> 00:26:58
			The true believer sees his sins as if they are a mountain that he is sitting beneath, and he fears
that it may collapse on him at any moment. That's the believer. As for the rebellious sinner,
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:36
			he sees his sins as insignificant as a fly which falls on his nose and he casually swats away. So
that sentiment we're speaking about that's it. That's a sign of sincere repentance. Because the
Prophet said sallallahu alayhi wa sallam another Matoba regret is repentance. And furthermore, even
if the sin is raised after repentance, there are things that should never be a raised shyness, or
Allah from Allah and having confronted him with the sin to begin with. Where was I? Where was where
am I? How could I?
		
00:27:37 --> 00:27:51
			How beautiful were the words of all Fulda 11 Wilde who said, we're so after a woman can walk in I
felt oh how ashamed I am of myself. Oh Allah, even if you have pardon? How ashamed
		
00:27:52 --> 00:28:22
			and how beautiful were the words of igloo Josie Rahima hula who said for ofin what law? The Mukhtar
is the newbie will not see the level the tilava Tata has certain latitude until remote mean whatever
goofier Allah How foolish Listen, listen. How foolish is he who prefers that brief moment of
pleasure in Haram, the regret of which never leaves his heart, even if he is forgiven, who choose
that why would we do that?
		
00:28:24 --> 00:28:47
			So I agree with you that the shame of having committed those things, they never leave the true
believer. But having said that, yet despair that has no place in the heart of a Muslim. Allah was
the one who said LM er Allah mu and Allah, who are Yakubu Toba and EBRD. Do they not know that Allah
subhanaw taala accepts repentance from His servants?
		
00:28:48 --> 00:28:58
			Have they not read the words of Allah Himself who said to me Yama to an elderly minister who soon is
down here in LA Yoji de la have a Florida Rahima.
		
00:29:00 --> 00:29:01
			Whoever does a wrong
		
00:29:03 --> 00:29:12
			or wrongs himself. Where then seeks forgiveness from Allah will find Allah forgiving and merciful,
your Allah Allahu Akbar.
		
00:29:14 --> 00:29:57
			So, when you're thinking about your sinful past, look at it with the eye of regret, but with the eye
of optimism as well, with the eye of shame, but hope, with embarrassment, but positive expectations
of Allah as well. This approach causes the sinner to to grow and to ascend the ladders of piety,
because every time he remembers his past, his skin cringes, his heart shudders and he then is
spurred, therefore, to do more good deeds to make up for it, and therefore causing Satan to perhaps
say, I wished I had never introduced him to the sin to begin with, because he has now become better
than what he was before.
		
00:29:59 --> 00:29:59
			So say yes.
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:00
			A federal law
		
00:30:02 --> 00:30:13
			argument number seven, he or she may say I don't feel that I have anything particular to repent
about. Now look, very few people would actually verbalize those words.
		
00:30:14 --> 00:30:25
			But it has crossed people's minds. Hamdulillah I mean, I don't drink. Don't find a case I don't use
the interest. I don't feel like a sinner I wear the full Islamic hijab. I pray and
		
00:30:26 --> 00:30:42
			Toba doesn't inspire this person doesn't feel that he has done anything that sanctions are major
Toba. Now, if you feel this way, then you have just identified your biggest downfall that requires
repentance, the feeling that you've given Allah enough.
		
00:30:43 --> 00:30:49
			Have you forgotten my dear brother, my dear sister, that no one in existence will enter paradise
through their good deeds.
		
00:30:51 --> 00:31:06
			If it wasn't the Mercy of Allah, the Hellfire would be our rightful home. Have you forgotten your
brother, your sister that some of the greatest sins known to man like schicke, associating partners
with Allah that He are showing off yet despair,
		
00:31:07 --> 00:31:24
			arrogance, haughtiness, these are primarily actions of the heart. So even though you may not be
doing a physical manifestation of a sin, the actions of a heart may tear someone's head down. So how
can you and I feel safe and claim we have nothing to repent from
		
00:31:26 --> 00:31:39
			Ameerul Momineen Abu Bakr Radi Allahu Taala and once said to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, I only need an Adobe if you sold it, teach me or messenger of Allah a dua that I should make
when I'm praying. Post here.
		
00:31:41 --> 00:31:48
			What do How would you think the prophets Allah Allah, Allah who was sitting with Teach Abu Bakar,
the greatest of human beings after the prophets and messengers
		
00:31:49 --> 00:31:52
			of Allah back of the very first adult male to embrace Islam,
		
00:31:54 --> 00:32:13
			the one who dedicated his whole life and his family's life and his and their resources for the
service of Islam, the one praised in the Quran, Surah two lane and others. Despite this caliber, the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam told him the following words, read or listen and reflect.
		
00:32:15 --> 00:32:19
			Allah Khomeini, the London of Ceylon Gettier Allah Yun novella and
		
00:32:21 --> 00:32:24
			so phillium of heroes I mean, I'm Nick Romney in Canton of all of it.
		
00:32:26 --> 00:32:31
			Oh Allah, He said to him say these words Oh Allah, I have oppressed my soul with great depression.
		
00:32:33 --> 00:32:35
			And no one forgive sins but you
		
00:32:36 --> 00:32:46
			so forgive me with a forgiveness from you and have mercy upon me You are the most forgiving the Most
Merciful. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam taught Abu Bakr to say I have oppressed myself,
		
00:32:47 --> 00:32:48
			who say I have nothing to repent of that.
		
00:32:50 --> 00:32:58
			In fact, consider the words of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam whose sins were erased. Past
and future were erased. What would he say in his salah?
		
00:32:59 --> 00:33:00
			It is dua
		
00:33:01 --> 00:33:04
			he will say Allahu McFeely hopefully it will generally
		
00:33:06 --> 00:33:22
			what he said if he if he Emery, wanna and the Alamo be hearing me, Oh ALLAH forgive my faults, my
ignorance, my excesses in my matters, and all of that which you are better aware of myself. Aware of
them myself, then he would say
		
00:33:23 --> 00:33:35
			Allahu maquillage Do you are hustling? What are you RMB what could you do the candy? Oh ALLAH
forgive my faults, but I committed in seriousness and in play.
		
00:33:36 --> 00:34:06
			And those sins that I committed accidentally and deliberately and all of these feelings are in me.
Then he would conclude his dua by saying Allah hamaca Lima Pandem to Walmart 100 to one a serum to
Walmart Island to warmer and the Island will be here mainly until more Kadima were until work Hebrew
and Tala coalition in Kalia Oh Allah, forgive me those sins that I have advanced or I have delayed,
		
00:34:07 --> 00:34:27
			or those which I've committed in privacy, or in the public domain, and you are aware of all of them
than myself. You are the first you are the last and you are able to do all things who said those
words, the words these were the words of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. So that is a
reality check.
		
00:34:28 --> 00:34:32
			We're drenched in our shortcomings from head to toe.
		
00:34:33 --> 00:34:37
			And if it wasn't for the veiling of Allah, the city of Allah,
		
00:34:38 --> 00:34:54
			we would have been exposed, disgraced, unable to show our faces to any human being ever again.
Realize this with humbleness and from the depths of your heart. Realize that you have every reason
to say a stuffy little law stuff in law.
		
00:34:56 --> 00:35:00
			Brothers and sisters there is nothing more beautiful than the words of the pen.
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:00
			Isn't one
		
00:35:02 --> 00:35:12
			who cries out in sincere remorse and regret as he says in his Doha, how to how they are Allah my
forelock is in your hands my face
		
00:35:13 --> 00:35:23
			I know what to the floor for you, my heart has surrendered to you. My soul has submitted to you my
very shadow prostrates to you.
		
00:35:24 --> 00:35:29
			Your Allah I knock on your door with the desperation of a lost child.
		
00:35:30 --> 00:35:33
			And I will not leave your doorstep till you allow me in
		
00:35:35 --> 00:35:54
			your Allah I have nowhere else to go. I have no shelter but yours no food to eat from but from
yours. I have no god to go to but you I have no escape from you but to you. There is no listener and
solver of my problems but you I call upon you your Allah despite my pitiful state.
		
00:35:55 --> 00:36:05
			And I this, I implore you despite the greatness of my crimes, but I have come to learn that your
mercy is even greater than my sins.
		
00:36:07 --> 00:36:30
			Should you not accept me back? Oh Allah subhanho wa Taala then I am the imprisoned one despite my
freedom. I am the lonely one despite my family. I am the bankrupt one despite my wealth. I am the
exiled one despite my home. I am the ailing one, despite my health. I am the Dead one despite my
life. And so I asked you Oh Allah,
		
00:36:32 --> 00:37:05
			in desperation and need by virtue of your supremacy and my loneliness, by virtue of your richness
and my poverty, by virtue of your power and my frailty, by virtue of your sovereignty and my pitiful
needy state, that you restore my email that I have injured, that you erase the sense that I have
gathered, that you bring back the light to the heart of mine that I have darkened only you can do
that. And I My belief is that you will
		
00:37:06 --> 00:37:06
			you
		
00:37:08 --> 00:37:24
			I am happy that you are Allah, I am happy that I know you. I am happy that I worship you. And so I
beg you Oh ALLAH just as I am happy with you be happy with me. As I am content with you be content
with me.
		
00:37:26 --> 00:37:35
			I've raised my empty and sinful hands to you and I will not put them down till you fill them with
your grace and Your forgiveness and your acceptance.
		
00:37:38 --> 00:37:41
			Your brothers and sisters make peace with Allah subhanho wa Taala
