00:00:00 --> 00:00:01
			So today's topic is
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:02
			atawba,
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:04
			repentance,
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:05
			which is
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:08
			really a huge
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:11
			huge favor of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala upon
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:11
			us,
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:15
			because if it wasn't for repentance,
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:18
			every single one of us would be
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:21
			doomed. Every single one of us would be
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:22
			destroyed,
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:24
			would be ruined.
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:28
			And this is because, as humans, we
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:30
			are not perfect.
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:32
			We make mistakes
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:34
			and if Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala did not
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:35
			give us
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:37
			the realization
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			that we have done something wrong
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:42
			and if he had not opened
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:44
			the gate of Toba for us,
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:46
			then how would we
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:49
			repair? How would we make amends? And how
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:50
			would we improve?
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:52
			It would not be possible.
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:54
			So,
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:56
			the concept of doba
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59
			in our religion is
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			a concept that gives us a lot of
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:02
			hope.
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:06
			It gives us this idea that,
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:07
			this,
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:12
			realization that we can improve, we can change,
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:14
			things can get better
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:16
			and that, yes, I made a mistake.
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			Yes, I may have done something seriously wrong,
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22
			but I still have the opportunity
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:24
			to make amends.
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:28
			There's still hope for me if I turn
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:29
			back to Allah
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:31
			and the word Tawba
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:35
			literally means to turn back, to return.
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:39
			So the concept of Tawba is that you
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:42
			are in your journey towards Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:43
			Ta'ala.
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:45
			And then what happens, because you're human,
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			you make a mistake,
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49
			you take the wrong turn,
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51
			right? You you go sideways,
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:53
			you go off track,
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:55
			and then you realize
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:58
			that you're not on the right path.
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00
			So the moment you realize you're not on
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:01
			the right path,
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:05
			you have the option of turning back.
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:09
			You have the option of going back to
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:10
			Allah's zawwajal,
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:13
			and this is a beautiful concept.
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:15
			And if it wasn't for this concept,
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:16
			really,
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:19
			every single one of us would be doomed,
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21
			because if our father,
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:22
			Adam radiatesalaam,
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:25
			made a mistake and that too in Jannah
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:28
			and that too with regard to just one
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:28
			restriction,
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:31
			then what about us?
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:33
			When we are in this world, we are
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:35
			surrounded by temptations,
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:37
			and there's so many
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:37
			times
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:40
			in in a single day where we can
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:41
			make mistakes.
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:43
			So Allah is
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:45
			extremely forgiving.
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:47
			He tells us in Narubbaqawasi
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:50
			ul Mahfira, your Lord is
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:52
			vast in terms of forgiveness.
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:53
			He is ghafirizambwakabilittawb.
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:58
			He is the forgiver of sin. He is
		
00:02:58 --> 00:02:59
			the acceptor of repentance.
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:02
			He is the one who, you'reafuwaranissaye
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:04
			at He pardons
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06
			sins. He forgives sins.
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:08
			Wallahu yaridukummakhfiratam
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:09
			minhu
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:10
			Allah promises
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:11
			forgiveness
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:15
			from him, and he promises believers that he
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:18
			will forgive them. And Allah, Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:20
			urges us that we should
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:22
			rush towards his forgiveness.
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:27
			And he don't slow down,
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:28
			don't,
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:32
			you know, delay, rather rush towards his forgiveness.
