Allah subhanho wa Taala tells us don't die except in the condition of submission. Now what is meant by that, in verse number 102 of Surah Al Imran, he says, while at the moon,
Muslim moon, exactly that don't die except in the condition of submission, which means lead your lives generally submitting to Allah such that if you were to die at any time, you're not caught sinning, imagine dying while committing a sin, that would be a crisis. So Allah tells us to avert that, try and make sure that you're always in the obedience of Allah. If you happen to sin because of human nature, immediately repent to Allah, and don't become too comfortable in sin. A sign of goodness of a human being is regret. When you regret what you did, it shows that you are connected to Allah, you have a good relationship with Allah, your bad deed should make you regret. When you
don't have a good relationship with Allah, there is no regret factor. So this is why when you regret, thank Allah, it's a blessing to regret. People do a bad deed, they do many bad deeds, they feel within themselves, I shouldn't have done this. That's a very good sign. That's a comforting sign. Subhana Allah in the midst of a crisis, either suratgarh Hashanah to Casa de casa de Luca Phantom omen. The Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam says, When your good deed makes you so happy, and when your bad deed makes you regret makes you sad, then that's a sign that you're a true believer. So good news, my brothers and sisters, when we falter, and we regret it's actually a favor
of Allah. It's comforting. Don't let shaytan make you think for a moment that you are not worthy of the mercy of Allah subhanho wa Taala
