Suhaib Webb – Don’t Despair!

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.
