Seeking Forgiveness

One of the most important secret ingredients that you and I need to be able to ask Allah successfully, whatever we want, and we all have things we want. And those are secrets between us and Allah. But if you're really going to be able to ask him in a way that you're truly hopeful that Allah azza wa jal will respond to what you're asking for, there are some things that have to be in place. And one of the most important things that the Quran keeps highlighting that has to be in place, is that you and I have to ask Allah to forgive us first. You have to ask Him to forgive us first before you ask him anything else. Anything else that you want, or I want? We need to be able

to genuinely ask Allah to forgive us. And I'm saying today, you know, you might people ask which dog can I make for forgiveness? Or which what are the best words I can say to for this dollar? You know, people have to ask for separate occasions. So when a woman is expecting she'll email me or he'll come up to me and say, Look, I'm gonna have a baby, which do I can make right now? Or somebody who say, I'm going for a job interview, which do I can I make right now? Right? I was always this give me the special dial for the special occasion. Let me tell you, those words are important because they're sacred and they revealed. But the dua for all occasions, is actually seeking Allah's

forgiveness. To do our job, open up all of your problems, get rid of all of your problems. The one guy that digs takes care of everything is genuinely seeking Allah's forgiveness. No hellacious

invites His people you know, for over nine centuries. He's doing constant dollar to them. And at the end of that career, he looks back and he summarizes the the message that he was trying to give them of course, he didn't have one speech with them. He didn't talk to them once or twice. Leyland when a Hara TAO to call me Leyland when a Hara night and day, he didn't even take nights off. He's constantly inviting them constantly inviting them and in a surah dedicated to his name Surah Noor, the surah of new Hyundai sedan. He himself summarizes the entire message he was giving his people this whole time. What is it that I want from you in Nikola TAO to whom Lita feel alone? Every time I

was inviting them, I was only inviting them calling them to this face, so you could forgive them Jakob, so you could forgive them. And then literally, he says, here's how I invited them. This is what I exactly said to them over and over and over again. Called I said it stop Futura bacame seek forgiveness of your master. In the hookah Farah, I'll come back to this part later in the who kind of afara Certainly Allah is someone who keeps on forgiving and keeps on forgiving and keeps on forgiving. And he does it repeatedly. But what he says after that is so remarkable. He said, You people and I need you to understand who he's talking to. He's talking to some one of the worst

nations in history. No Hyundai Salaam is described as one of the worst nations of all the nations. Places like Sudan comma, were Allah destroyed. This describes different nations or even sort of very odd. Allah describes different nations of the past that rebelled against Allah that rebelled against the prophets and were destroyed. When he gets to new heights asylums nation, what does he say? Well, coma knew him in Kabul in the homecare new home of La opera, the nation of Newark from much before they, they certainly weren't more wrongdoing and more rebellious than everyone else. Like he has the worst condemnation of the people of Newark. It makes sense. They had a messenger not from what for

one generation, like every other profit, they had a generate profit, three generations, four generations, every century, every two decades. There's a new generation of kids that have grown up. And he's seen that century after century after century after century, he's seen 4050 generations of people. And they've all rejected him. And he's making the same invitation to all of them. So I'm not I'm the thing I the reason I brought this up is for a purpose. He's talking to very, very bad people. He's talking to the worst of the worst. What offer does he make to them? He says, istockphoto.com seek forgiveness of your master in the hookah afara. He keeps on forgiving over and

over and over again.

You guys have been messing up over and over again. Allah keeps forgiving over and over again. But he has offered doesn't stop there. He says you'll see this summer Alico mudra. You silly, it's actually Javan hammer here. What that means is, if you seek his forgiveness, then Allah will open up the sky for you, and it will start pouring on you. Now that could be a reference to rain. That could be a reference to rain and ironically, it's not a reference that you will get flooded. They did get flooded, right? They did get flooded but ALLAH is talking about a different kind of rain. Now. If you seek forgiveness, that same rain that destroyed them will be the rain that brings them life.

They didn't pray for rain. They didn't ask for rain, and they just Allah just ask them to make dua to be forgiven. But if you ask the Lord to be forgiven, the sky will open up and start pouring. Now Allah did not say water will pour

Because you haven't been seeking forgiveness, it's going to open up. Just ask for forgiveness.
