Mufti Menk – No Matter How Big Your Sin Is, Do This

00:00:00 --> 00:00:02

Imagine Adam alaihi salam and this makes me

00:00:02 --> 00:00:04

smile every time I think of it.

00:00:05 --> 00:00:07

Allah prohibited upon them only one thing

00:00:07 --> 00:00:09

when they were created. Don't eat from this

00:00:09 --> 00:00:10

tree. Walataqraba

00:00:10 --> 00:00:13

hadi shadya don't eat from this tree. That's

00:00:13 --> 00:00:14

exactly what they did.

00:00:14 --> 00:00:17

That's exactly. That's the only thing they did.

00:00:17 --> 00:00:17

Subhanallah.

00:00:18 --> 00:00:20

Allah said, don't do this. And that's what

00:00:20 --> 00:00:21

they did.

00:00:22 --> 00:00:23

But did they do it out of defiance

00:00:23 --> 00:00:24

or out of weakness?

00:00:25 --> 00:00:27

Out of human weakness and the deception of

00:00:27 --> 00:00:28

the devil.

00:00:28 --> 00:00:30

So whenever you sin, if you've sinned out

00:00:30 --> 00:00:32

of human weakness and the deception of the

00:00:32 --> 00:00:35

devil, quickly seek the forgiveness of Allah. No

00:00:35 --> 00:00:37

matter how many times it happens, seek the

00:00:37 --> 00:00:40

forgiveness. Come back on track. Be strong and

00:00:40 --> 00:00:42

be hard on yourself to get back to

00:00:42 --> 00:00:44

worship Allah alone and do what pleases Allah

00:00:44 --> 00:00:47

and inshallah, you're on the right track. You're

00:00:47 --> 00:00:49

heading for Jannah, for paradise. Look at the

00:00:49 --> 00:00:51

Quran. Allah speaks about those who committed adultery,

00:00:52 --> 00:00:54

those who did bad things, immoral things. Allah

00:00:54 --> 00:00:56

says if they remember Allah and seek forgiveness

00:00:57 --> 00:00:58

and change their ways,

00:00:58 --> 00:01:01

those are the ones whom we will grant

00:01:01 --> 00:01:02

paradise. Allah says.

00:01:07 --> 00:01:09

For them, from their Lord will be forgiveness

00:01:10 --> 00:01:11

and paradise. Who are they?

00:01:18 --> 00:01:19

Those who committed immorality

00:01:20 --> 00:01:22

or did something evil wronged themselves

00:01:22 --> 00:01:23

and then

00:01:23 --> 00:01:26

sought the forgiveness of Allah. Here is Allah

00:01:26 --> 00:01:28

saying, you know what? We will forgive them

00:01:28 --> 00:01:31

because they changed their ways. So remember, you're

00:01:31 --> 00:01:33

a human. This is Allah. Who is Allah?

00:01:33 --> 00:01:35

My maker. The one whom I'm going to

00:01:35 --> 00:01:38

return to the only one who is the

00:01:38 --> 00:01:39

supreme deity

00:01:39 --> 00:01:40

alone,

00:01:41 --> 00:01:42

who is owed worship.

00:01:43 --> 00:01:45

None other than him is old worship. So

00:01:45 --> 00:01:47

this is why we say, why is Allah

00:01:47 --> 00:01:50

the only one worthy of worship? Because he

00:01:50 --> 00:01:51

made me. I'm going to go back to

00:01:51 --> 00:01:51

him.
