00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			As far as repentance is concerned,
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:04
			there are 4 criteria of repentance.
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:06
			The first is that
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:08
			we need to
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:11
			stop the act immediately. The second is that
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:12
			we need to
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:14
			ask forgiveness from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala for
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:16
			that particular act. The third is
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:19
			that if we can repay it, we should
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:21
			repay it back. For example, if you've robbed
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:24
			something from someone, we should return it back
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:25
			to him. And the 4th is that we
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:27
			should make a strong resolution
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:29
			that we will not
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:31
			do that sin again.
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:33
			These are 4 criteria of repentance
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36
			and if we are sincere repentance from Allah
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, he
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:39
			will Insha'Allah
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:43
			forgive us. One of the best times to
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:44
			do dua
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:45
			and to ask
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:47
			for repentance from Allah
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:49
			It is during the Tahjid prayer. It is
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51
			during the night prayer. During the last 1
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:53
			third of the night. This is a crucial
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55
			time and I would request the brother and
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:56
			sisters
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			that to make it a regular habit that
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:01
			to offer the night prayer tajjud prayer. Especially
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:03
			during the last 1 third of the night
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:05
			and if we ask forgiveness from Allah Subhanu
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:08
			wa Ta'ala during this time. Insha'Allah, a du'a.
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:10
			Insha'Allah as applications,
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:13
			it will be answered by Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:13
			Ta'ala.
