Allah Azawajal will not just forgive you if
your tawba is true.
He will forgive you
and love you. You know, that's the difference.
Do you realize that we must always reflect
on the fact that there's 7, 000, 000,
000 people on earth
approximately right now.
Any 1 of them can be loved by
Allah Azawajal
because he is alwadud, he's the most loving.
With human beings, with human beings
you can forgive someone but it's hard to
forget the pain,
right?
But to love them like before or even
more than that,
this may be impossible for humans. Right? Like
I forgive you, it's fine, you're Muslim now,
it's good, you know, all of that. Right?
Like Umar Radialahu Han actually his brother, he
had a brother named Zaid who was killed
by a man.
And then that man became Muslim. And so
Umar the 1 time when he was Khalifa,
he saw he saw this man, he like
he did this look like, is that him?
And he said, so why are you looking
at me like that? He said, you're so
and so. You killed my brother.
He said, yeah, I did.
I mean, years ago, years, decades ago. He
said, so that's why I'm looking at you
like that. I don't like
you. He said, will that prevent me from
any of my rights like with Allah or
like in the like am I in trouble
right now?
He said no, just don't like you.
He said no, that's fine. It's your business.
Nothing to do with me. Right? It's just
We can't flip a switch.
Right? But Allah Azzawajal is Al Ghafoorul Wadud.
He's the 1 that forgives anything and everything
for those who repent
and conceals them until they repent
and loves them after they repent.
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
You know there's this story,
and I'll wrap up here of
the man from the people of Musa alaihis
salam. When Musa alaihis salam was leading Banu
Israeel
during his lifetime, they suffered a very difficult
drought
and they were pleading to Allah Azawajal.
They all came out together to appeal to
Allah, Allah we're dying here and the animals
will die and the people will die, we
need rain, oh Allah have mercy on us.
And then nothing was being answered until finally
Allah Azawajal
revealed
to Musa Alaihi Salam, there is among you
a man that has been challenging me, defying
me
with sins for 40 years.
Tell him to leave from among you
and you will get your reign.
So Musa Alaihi Salam stands in front of
Ben Ussalaihi and he gives them a sermon,
he says to them,
whoever you are, whatever you've been doing for
40 years, all the crimes you've been committing,
at the very least,
don't commit the crime of killing Asal, right?
Just leave.
Let that be your good deed essentially, just
leave.
And then
nobody left,
and then they got the rain.
So Musa alaihis salam alaihis yalla, nobody left
but he gave us the rain. What happened?
He said he made tawba to me just
like that, you repented.
That's why I gave you the rain.
He said to him, you Allah show me
this righteous servant of yours, Like this is
the man whose
repentance was so powerful, was so sincere that
you moved the clouds and finally sent them
our way and we haven't seen him for
ages and show him to me this righteous
servant of yours.
And so
Allah azza wa Jal said to Musa alaihis
salam,
O Musa,
for 40 years
he defies me and I conceal him.
The day he repents to me, I'm gonna
expose him.
You can't see him.
And the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wasallam mentioned to us 2 ahadid about
the cutoff of repentance.
The first of them is in Sayyid Muslim
wherein he said, SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam, Inna Allah
yabsu 2 yadaahu binaha liatuba musiulay
Allah extends his hands by day so that
those who sin at night may repent.
And he extends his hand by night so
that those who sin during the day may
repent.
And this will continue to happen.
And this will continue to happen
10 years, 20 years, 30 years, 40 years,
right? Imagine someone holding their hand out for
you that long.
Parents even, they're the last ones but even
they have a breaking point and they give
up on their children sometimes, and they stop
waiting sometimes, they stop leaving the lights on
sometimes, they stop leaving the door open sometimes.
As rare as that is even parents but
Allah continues to do it,
remains
the door of repentance remains open.
And the second of the 2 hadith is
a Hayitha Abduh Muhammad al Hassan radiAllahu anhu
man wherein he said that the prophet Sallallahu
Alaihi Wasallam said,
Inna Allah Youqbalu
tahubatal abidi ma'alam yukargrir Allah will continue
to accept
the repentance of his servant so long as
he does not rattle
or gargle, meaning the rattling of the soul
as it exits the throat.
So so long as this world has not
ended
or your last moments in this world have
not
ended Allah will accept from you your repentance
so long as you try, so long as
you regret, so long as you try.
But when that moment comes that repentance is
not repentance.
That repentance is a wish
because there's no room to intent. You know
there's no room and so the intention is
not an intention, it's an idea, it's a
wish. So make it a reality today
and know that Allah's forgiveness and mercy and
compassion and concealment
is mind blowing. May Allah grant us the
greatest share of it in the next world
and allow us to fully access it and
take advantage of it in this world.
