Number 2, don't despair of rahma.
You know, we tell people, like, it's haram
to smoke, drink, date,
eat pork. I don't know whatever's out there
now. There's a litany of stuff, right? It's
haram to do this. But have you ever
heard someone say it's haram to forget give
up on Allah's mercy for you? It's haram
to not believe that Allah loves you? It's
haram to give up. Allah
says in the 15th chapter of verse 56,
The only people who give up on Allah's
mercy
are people who are astray.
That's why the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam,
Abdul Rabinus Uzz said the most the most
beloved verse of Quran to the prophet Muhammad
alayhis salatu salam.
Oh, people who have sinned against yourselves,
don't give up on Allah's wahala.
Prophet
said, no verse has been revealed to me
more beloved to me on this day than
this verse. His
mother said, we never saw him as happy
as he won what was when this verse
was sent to him. Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
We we make a big mistake
that we look at Islam as perfect and
somehow we think we're perfect. No, Islam was
made perfect. We weren't made perfect.
We came after that.
So we're trying to get to something that's
relatively
near perfection, but but we can never be
perfect.
So sometimes we give up. We create these
unattainable
spiritual goals
that become counterproductive into our life. And the
prophet said, alayhis salatu salam,
No one will make the religion hard except
it would defeat them.
They'll be defeated by it. So he said,
so try your best. Work hard.
Make effort.
