Mufti Menk – Allah finds excuses to forgive you

			So Allah subhanho wa Taala is telling us so beautifully that
		

			you seek forgiveness, I will forgive you. If you haven't sought forgiveness and it's a minus and and
you continue to do good deeds, I will automatically wipe out those minuses but if it is a major sin,
and the major sin is that sin we're in Allah has stipulated a punishment for it in this world and
the next and Allah has spoken about how severe it is, that becomes a major sin. Those who engage in
major sin would require a specific repentance in order to be forgiven. So you can't just say, Oh
ALLAH forgive all my sins that I've committed, knowing that you committed major sins. You've got to
say, oh, Allah, I did this on that day. I'm confessing to you alone. I regret it. I admit my sin. I
		

			asked you to forgive me and I promise you, I'm not going to do it again. The minute all those four
conditions are met, immediately the first time you asked Allah forgiveness for that sin, you were
forgiven, you are taught to repeat the act of repentance again and again, in order to elevate your
status and to become closer to Allah. Not because you're doubting the mercy of Allah subhanho wa
Taala. So Allah subhanho wa Taala says, in that verse number 160, of Sula to the Nam, will home
leave us alone, they will never be oppressed. Trust me, my brothers and sisters. The comfort Allah
gives us is such that he's looking for any excuse to show you his mercy. He's looking for any excuse
		

			to forgive, to wipe out to actually help you forth into genital for those into paradise. May Allah
grant us that paradise
