Omar Suleiman – Ramadaan 2019 Allah Loves – Episode 02 – Repentance

			Salam Alaikum Welcome back to Allah loves. So last time we talked about taqwa piety being the goal,
and you have to avoid those thorny bushes that are on the road to Allah and you are meant to go back
to Allah. But then these things keep getting in the way. Now here's the thing, you are inevitably
going to be struck by a thorn. And there's absolutely nothing you can do about it because the
Prophet peace be upon him said, Every single one of the children of Adam is a sinner, every single
one of us is going to commit sins are going to get pricked, we're going to fall behind. And the best
of us are those who come back to our last panel to Allah hydrocarbylene until we're blue in the best
		

			of those who make mistakes are those who repent to Allah Subhana Allah to Allah. And so this is very
important that just after we talk about these concepts of taqwa, and don't commit sins, the next
mentioned that Allah has within sort of the the bacara is in the law you have Butoh been Allah loves
those who repent, again, framed within the love of Allah subhanaw taala. I'm not going to talk about
repentance here in the conditions of repentance and what repentance means. But I do want you to
understand it within the same framework of how we mentioned the first thing, Allah did not create
you to not sin. A law created you to know how to properly deal with sin. And there is a major
		

			difference between those two. The word Toba means that you turn back to Allah subhanho wa Taala not
necessarily that you have removed all of the effects of that sin. Realize that even the word
repentance comes back to your relationship with Allah subhana wa Tada. So how does this all work?
The sinfulness is part of your humanity. The forgiveness is part of a lot of attributes. And if you
pair those two things together and you acknowledge your sinfulness, though, you don't intentionally
commit sins, but you acknowledge your sinfulness. Even if you did intentionally commit a sin, you
acknowledge your sinfulness and you try to get back on that path to Allah subhanaw taala you
		

			actually rise up in the degrees of favor because Allah loves a toa bien Allah loves those who turn
back to Allah Subhana Allah, the prophet peace be upon him said that if you were not to sin, then
Allah would have replaced you with the people who would sin and then they would seek their
forgiveness and then they would be forgiven by Allah subhana wa tada because Allah loves to forgive.
And Allah loves repentance and Allah loves those who repent. And the beauty of how we pair these two
things together is that there is no such thing as failure in Islam. Unless you don't do anything
about that failure. There is no such thing as an action that can permanently disqualify you from the
		

			love of Allah, if you repent afterwards and if you use that to propel you towards Allah subhana wa
Tada. And what the prophet peace be upon him is telling us here is that when a person commits a sin,
and then a person seeks forgiveness from Allah for that sin, what happens, the effect of it on the
heart, the prophets lie, Selim said, that the dark spot that's placed on the heart is polished. So
it's not just removed, not only is the dark spot removed, but the spot is polished, as for the
effect on the deeds, the Prophet sallallahu wasallam said that the sin is turned into a good deed on
your scrolls. So it's actually a hessonite it's actually a good deed allowed removes the sin and
		

			gives you a good deed for the repentance, the effect of it on us in regards to our position with the
love of Allah subhanho to Ana in the law, you have Butoh, bien, Allah loves those that are always
turned back towards him. And so the effect of it with our position is that we actually get closer to
Allah subhanho wa Taala than we were before we committed the sin. Hence we become more beloved to
Allah subhanho wa Taala than before we committed the sin. This is why it's not unjust that Allah
created us and asked us not to sin but we still commit sin, because the degree that Allah guarantees
us after committing the sin is greater than even his sinless creatures in the angels. Because when a
		

			human being learns to deal with those sins in a way that they seek a loss, forgiveness and they turn
back to him, then they ascend even beyond the angels in rank. abdelkarim Rahim Allah He puts this
together and he gives us the context of two prophets. He says, shape on the devil delighted when he
saw that he caused other money his salon to fall. But what he didn't realize is that when a diver
goes into the ocean, he collects the gems and the pearls at the bottom of the ocean, and then he
rises up once again. So Adam was better after his Toba even though he had to come to this earth he
was better after his repentance than he was before it in paradise in regards to his rank unicity his
		

			Salaam Jonah was better after he was swallowed by the whale than he was before.
		

			He went into it. That's why Allah says Vegeta hora hora de aluminio sleight of hand Allah chosen and
made him from the righteous after he was swallowed by the whale after he said La ilaha illa Anta su
panikkar in the quantum in a while, I mean there is no god but you how perfect are you? An Iowa's
from the wrongdoers. So again, our hearts are polished, our sins are turned into good deeds, and our
ranks ascend in the sight of Allah. So do not I don't care what you came to this Ramadan with. I
don't care what you've done in the past. It doesn't matter what you've done in the past because you
have a Lord that created your past, present and future and guaranteed you a better future. If you
		

			learn how to deal with that past in a way that propels you towards him. We ask a lot of parents out
to make us from those that are beloved to him in our repentance in our sin. And in our good deeds.
Allah amin See you all next time in sha Allah wa Salaam Alaikum
