Welcome, oh dear beloved secret of knowledge, once a companion named SFX one or lt Allahu anhu came to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam while he was in the machine. And he said, Yes of Allah, I've come seeking knowledge. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was so happy that he responded welcome, oh seeker of knowledge. Truly the angels surround the seeker of knowledge with their wings, and they gather around them and ranks one above the other until they reach the first heavens.

ends of the day, and add the approach of the night. Indeed, good deeds, meaning the five daily prayers here, do away with misdeeds, meaning the minor sins. This is a reminder for those who remember, the man was so happy. But then he asked you how to civilize this only for me, or is this for any Muslim who commits a sin? And he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, it's for all the Muslims, to hamdulillah what a loving, kind and merciful Lord who facilitates repentance for us. There's so many amazing narrations about how good deeds erase the bad ones. I wanted to share just a few with you all.

00:02:41--> 00:03:28

makes will do properly and prays to God knuffle prayer, except that he will be forgiven for that sin. And in one narration, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam asked the companions, if there was a river at your door, and you took a bath in it five times a day. Would you notice any dirt on yourselves? And they said, No, not at all. yet so Allah, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said this is like the five daily prayers for Allah uses them to wipe away the sins and the wrongdoings okemah call sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, and remember he is like a loving father to all of us and he teaches us out of love.

sincere advice when he said, Be mindful of Allah wherever you are, in your private and in your public affairs. And if you do a bad deed, then follow it up with a good deed and it will erase it and behave with good character good manners towards the people. If by now you don't know that Allah loves you, and sha Allah this next narration will make your heart melt.

00:03:55--> 00:04:20

We all have an angel who records and documents our actions. And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasalam said Verily, there's an angel on the left side of each of us who documents our sins. And when any one of us sins, and the angel wants to read it, Allah orders the angel to hold his pen to refrain from writing it for six hours after we commit a set.

00:04:21--> 00:04:59

And then he said the law leaves him sad. If he or she sincerely regrets it and seeks forgiveness from Allah. The angel won't write it down. It will be as if it never happened. Otherwise, if the person doesn't regret or seek for forgiveness from Allah subhanaw taala the angel will only record it as one sin sapan Allah. Allah loves you so much that he tells the angels don't write it down, because maybe he'll repent. scandalous. So don't wait, repent right away. Once a very old man came to the prophets of Allah

If this sends we were to be split amongst the people of the entire Earth. Everybody would be doomed.

00:05:30--> 00:06:16

And then he asked, Is there repentance for that person? The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Have you become Muslim? Because he knew he was talking about himself? And he said, Yes, I bear witness that there's no God but Allah alone with no partners, and that Mohammed Salah line is in his his servant and Messenger. Then the Prophet said, Love will forgive you for whatever you've done. And he'll not only forgive you, he'll replace your evil deeds with good ones. And the man said, cattle sulla even my really, really bad ones.
