Maryam Amir – Do you think youre going to hell

I was sitting with a friend of mine, and she was weeping because

she felt like there's no way that she's going to go to paradise. As

we're sitting and she's crying, she gets a text message, and that

message was from a friend who I know and she hasn't spoken with in

a really long time, and that friend told her that she just had

to share the dream that she had. That dream she had had was that

she was with this person, the one who was crying because she didn't

think she was going to go to Paradise, had a beautiful home

in Paradise, and she was so moved by how beautiful the dream was

that she wanted to send her a message and just tell her, and the

fact that she got that message right as she's crying about not

knowing whether or not she would ever be good enough to go to

Paradise, was very moving, but I want to tell you that you don't

need to have a text message from a friend, and not you, the person

who made the video, but anyone who felt this way, because I saw so

many comments saying they feel the same, you already have text

messages from God, you have messages, you have letters from

Allah in the Quran talking about his mercy. I know none of us can

promise paradise to anybody else, obviously, but I'm sure many of

you are familiar with the story of a person who was completely

forgiven for absolutely everything because they gave water to a

thirsty dog, who is the most merciful that would forgive a

person for their past just because they were kind to an animal. In

one instance, how many times have you done something right? How many

times have you been kind and caring and intentional in the way

you interact with your own siblings or parents or friends or

a stray a stray animal or your own pet? Why is it then, when we think

about Allah and our relationship with Him, we think about ourselves

in a deficit. Our deficit is that we think about the things we're

doing wrong and the things we've done in the past, and we loathe

ourselves for that, and then we cast that loathing onto God, and

we assume that he sees us with the hatred that we have for our own

selves. That's how you feel about you. That doesn't mean that's how

Allah's panahy sees you. You know in the Quran, he promised that if

you have made mistakes but believe in us for forgiveness and do

righteous deeds. Again. Righteous deeds are so vast. You could do so

many things with a righteous deed that he doesn't just forgive you

for your mistakes, but he turns the bad into good. And the

Prophet, peace be upon him. In explaining this, this ayah, talked

about a person who will come on the day of judgment, and they will

be shown their record of bad deeds, and they will be asked, Did

you do everything here? And the person will be like, yes, because

on that day, your own hands will testify against you. There's You

can't lie. I mean, your own body's gonna say I did on the one who did

it. And then it will be said, replace all of these bad deeds

with good deeds, as in, all those bad deeds are flipped and turned

into good deeds. Because this person asked for forgiveness. They

had asked they had they'd made mistakes. They'd made mistakes,

but they recognized that they were mistakes, and they tried to do

better, even if they weren't perfect about it. And so then it

said to them, turn all of those bad deeds into good deeds. They

all turn into good. And the person says, but there are things that

are not here that I've done because they want, they want every

single bad that they've ever done to be written so that it could be

turned into good. That the reason that it's not there, I mean, God

is so merciful. Allah's panata is so merciful that if you make a

mistake, but you ask for forgiveness before the angels are

asked not to write it down, just to give you time to repent. Allah

wants you to win. Allah wants you to win, also today and every

single day. Free watermelon.
