Mufti Menk – Taking steps to stop sinning

			My brothers and sisters, every one of us wants to achieve the forgiveness of Allah. And Allah
subhanho wa Taala has said that he will forgive every one who seeks forgiveness. So just to put
things into perspective, no matter what you've done, if you seek the forgiveness of Allah, you
change your ways, you promise Allah, you're not going to do it again, Allah will forgive you
completely. And always remember that. And shaytans plan is that he makes you repeat the sin, out of
human nature, you may fall again. But Allah's plan is that when you fall again, you come back again.
And if you fall on again, you come back again and so on.
		

			They will come a time when they will definitely come a time when the gap between the sins is less
sorry, is more. Which means, say you committed a sin today, when you become conscious of Allah,
instead of committing it every seven days, it now becomes 14 to 21 days. Is that an achievement? As
bad as the sin is the fact that you're not committing it so often is from a certain angle and
achievement. thank Allah for that. Make that gap bigger. A young boy told me I'm hooked on to
*. What should I do? So we started helping him and he realized that the gap between the
little bouts that he had of watching *, were much larger, bigger. So instead of everyday
		

			it became once in a while random, and after that, he stopped it completely Subhan Allah, that's the
plan of Allah when you start loving, leaving bad for the sake of Allah. Allah will love you and help
you to leave the bed.
