So today's topic is
atawba,
repentance,
which is
really a huge
huge favor of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala upon
us,
because if it wasn't for repentance,
every single one of us would be
doomed. Every single one of us would be
destroyed,
would be ruined.
And this is because, as humans, we
are not perfect.
We make mistakes
and if Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala did not
give us
the realization
that we have done something wrong
and if he had not opened
the gate of Toba for us,
then how would we
repair? How would we make amends? And how
would we improve?
It would not be possible.
So,
the concept of doba
in our religion is
a concept that gives us a lot of
hope.
It gives us this idea that,
this,
realization that we can improve, we can change,
things can get better
and that, yes, I made a mistake.
Yes, I may have done something seriously wrong,
but I still have the opportunity
to make amends.
There's still hope for me if I turn
back to Allah
and the word Tawba
literally means to turn back, to return.
So the concept of Tawba is that you
are in your journey towards Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala.
And then what happens, because you're human,
you make a mistake,
you take the wrong turn,
right? You you go sideways,
you go off track,
and then you realize
that you're not on the right path.
So the moment you realize you're not on
the right path,
you have the option of turning back.
You have the option of going back to
Allah's zawwajal,
and this is a beautiful concept.
And if it wasn't for this concept,
really,
every single one of us would be doomed,
because if our father,
Adam radiatesalaam,
made a mistake and that too in Jannah
and that too with regard to just one
restriction,
then what about us?
When we are in this world, we are
surrounded by temptations,
and there's so many
times
in in a single day where we can
make mistakes.
So Allah is
extremely forgiving.
He tells us in Narubbaqawasi
ul Mahfira, your Lord is
vast in terms of forgiveness.
He is ghafirizambwakabilittawb.
He is the forgiver of sin. He is
the acceptor of repentance.
He is the one who, you'reafuwaranissaye
at He pardons
sins. He forgives sins.
Wallahu yaridukummakhfiratam
minhu
Allah promises
forgiveness
from him, and he promises believers that he
will forgive them. And Allah, Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
urges us that we should
rush towards his forgiveness.
And he don't slow down,
don't,
you know, delay, rather rush towards his forgiveness.
