			In today's video, we're going to look at certain Anfal, verse 33. Allah says what the other says,
what kind of Allah whom why the Bahama Home yourself who don't, and Allah shall never punish them.
As long as they're asking forgiveness from him, and Allah shall never punish them what kind of Allah
why the bone? This is a statement of fact that Allah revealed when the Quraysh made fun of the
Prophet sallallahu Annie who was send them unbelievable. They threatened they mocked and they said
to the prophets of some Why doesn't your Lord send down a punishment? They're making fun of the
decider. And Allah subhanho wa Taala responded to their tongues. Allah said, I shall never send down
		
00:00:42 --> 00:01:27
			the punishment as long as there are some people amongst them that are still saying a stuff put a lot
of stuff for Allah. This ayah demonstrates for us the power of is still far the power of saying a
self hero law because of a strong federal law because of seeking Allah's forgiveness, that calamity
upon people who would otherwise deserve it has been averted away. And this brothers and sisters is
the month of is still far. This is the month of Ramadan. This is the month of October. This is the
month of Rama This is the month of Mo Farah. And so let us remind ourselves of the blessings of is
still far of the positives of is still far of the reality that this concept of Toba of repentance of
		
00:01:27 --> 00:02:12
			seeking Allah's forgiveness is a constant theme throughout the entire Quran. It is no exaggeration
to state that out of the names of Allah subhanho wa taala. The names that deal with Allah's
forgiveness and Allah's mercy are more than all of the other names. The majority of Allah's names
they deal with mercy and compassion and forgiveness, love for love fall or hamara Haman Rahmani
Raheem and on and on and on. And Allah subhana wa Taala has linked the concept of is still far he
has linked it with the very Kalama itself that Kenema is linked with is still far far Island and no
hula Ilaha illa Allah was still fairly them big no there is no ILA other than Allah and then say a
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:55
			sulphide Allah for your sins Allah links that is still far with the Kenema ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala
has told us that he taught is still fall to the prophets themselves for telecom demo, Mira be
Hichilema Martin Fatah, la Adam, God some phrases from Allah Adam was taught some phrases from Allah
and because of those phrases, ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada forgave him. What is that phrase we know are a
bunch of alumna and fusina were in them tell fildena What's our Hamner then Hakuna middle Cassadine.
So the prophets will do is still far know how to his Salam. He asked Allah's forgiveness in the
Quran. Musa alayhis salam for the merfolk Allah Subhana Allah tubo to Ilica one a word on Muslimeen
		
00:02:55 --> 00:03:37
			Musa does is still far Ibrahim alayhis salam, as he's building the caliber, he says what to Elena,
in the context of Barbara Haim forgive us of Allah you are the terroir been the Rahim, our Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. He Himself told us, he says is still far more than 100 times a day. And
so is it any surprise that when Allah describes the believers, this isn't over six verses in the
Quran. Whenever Allah describes the believers, he mentioned the concept of is still far and
especially saying is still five during the night prayer, which is what we're doing right now. This
is the night prayer especially saying a stall fit Allah during the night prayer would be Assadi home
		
00:03:37 --> 00:04:18
			yourself you don't that they would say a stall federal law and they would ask Allah's forgiveness in
the nighttime so of the characteristics of the righteous is the constant saying as of is still far
Now you would think a stop for Allah should only be set by the Empires by the wicked, as I already
explained, the prophets are saying is still far and the Quran teaches us we say is still far even a
times of victory at times of conquest, either Jah through Allah he will further what are eight and
NASA year the whole lunar feeding Allah He of Raja for Serbia, the Hamdi Rebecca was still fearful
at the height of the pinnacle at the conquest of Makkah. When you see people embracing Islam, you
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:56
			are at the height of your career. What should you do ya rasool Allah a stop for Allah has stopped
for Allah Ibrahim Ali Hassan is building the Kaaba and he is seeking Allah's forgiveness. The
prophets Assam told us when we finished the Salah, it was his sunnah the first thing he would say
after the Salaam Alaikum salaam Malik, what would he say? A stop for Allah stop for the last stop
for Allah. So it's still far isn't just done by the wicked. It's not just done by the Empires. It's
not just done by the sinners. It is done by the righteous and it is also done by the sinners.
Brothers and sisters understand the beauty of this concept Wallahi because we hear these codebase
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:59
			and gurus all the time we take them for granted. Thank Allah
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:44
			For the blessing of his default, do you know how blessed you are? What does it mean is still far it
means ALLAH will forgive you simply by wanting to be forgiven. That's it. How do you get forgiven
from a major sin? How do you get forgiven from a Kabir Amina Tobiah, whether it is drinking, whether
it is alcohol, whether it is drugs, whether it is gambling, whether it is Zina, how do you get
forgiven? Can you believe ALLAH has gifted us the concept of is still far and what is is still far
all you need to do is to genuinely desire Allah Rama Allah's Mothra that's all it's as easy as that.
Allah says in the Quran, whoever asks my forgiveness, He shall find me a foreign to whoever turns to
		
00:05:44 --> 00:06:26
			Me will find me over their brothers and sisters. This is a concept that is unique to our religion.
We don't have to have complicated rituals. We don't have to offer sacrifices. Of course, if you do
extra is good, but the bare minimum of is still far the bare minimum. What is it? It just means you
approach Allah with a sincere heart with a heart that is admitted and acknowledged. I am a sinner
with a heart that is genuinely full of regret and remorse and you approach Allah humbly, meekly. And
then your hands go up and your tongue says Yara I have committed a sin forgive me. That's it. It's
as simple as that. And Allah subhanho wa Taala promises in the Quran, woman yo Fudo, Luba Illa,

00:07:09 --> 00:07:53
			and why don't they ask my forgiveness if they do so LaWanda doula Hutto wobba Rahima they will find
Allah accepting their repentance and they will find Allah Ever Merciful. Oh, Muslims never lose hope
of Allah's mercy. Oh Muslims, it is a bigger sin to lose hope of Allah's mercy, then the sins you
have committed. All the sins you have committed are trivial. If you feel Allah cannot forgive you,
that is a bigger sin than your personal sins. Because when you say I am too sinful to be forgiven,
you are then accusing Allah of being stingy and miserly, you are limiting the unlimited Mercy of
Allah. Therefore, no matter what your sins are turned to Allah and is still far turn to Allah in
		
00:07:53 --> 00:08:30
			repentance. And when you do so Allah Subhana Allah Allah will forgive you and Allah will bless you
with even more. The Prophet Nora tells us in the Quran, to his people that I said to my people say

upon you He will increase your wealth he will give you more children he will give you more wealth
and and and progeny and all the goods of this earth is going to come to you in another verse in the
Quran. Allah subhanho wa Taala says if only the people of Makkah said is still far I would have
