Sunday Khatira – Masjid Salahadeen

Or not Allah forgives you on the day

of judgement.

That's that's all that you will be concerned

about. On the day when you die,

every worry that you've had in this world

will die with it.

Every stress you've had in this world will

die with that death.

The only concern you will have after that

is whether or not

Allah is going to forgive me because only

the people who we go to paradise are

the people whom Allah has forgiven. This is

what the scholars have coined as the

price of paradise. The price of paradise is

the forgiveness of Allah

And there are some conditions. There are many.

We're just gonna be very short and brief.

I'm gonna give you some some ways inshallah

because the beautiful thing is that Allah has

made it

very easy

for the believer to enter into the doors

of forgiveness. He's made it very easy. He's

given us so many ways. I think if,

we were to sit here and go over

the ways or,

Sheikh Jabali will go over all the ways

in Islam that are known to cause forgiveness,

we would be here for in for the

rest of the day. But Allah has made

it very easy. But the conditions of forgiveness

are a few.

And as long as we meet these conditions,

then we are hopeful that Allah Subhanahu Wa

Ta'ala will forgive us, insha'Allah.

Number 1 is that we must actually have

remorse.

We must have a feeling of remorse and

regret

for the sin we have committed. This is

the this is the beginning of tawba. Is

that we have remorse and regret for the

sins that we have committed. For indeed if

you're not remorseful or regretful for it, then

the rest of them don't matter at all.

Number 2 is to actually make tawba, to

actually ask Allah

to forgive you. Whether that's informally

making istighfar

or whether it's by formally praying turakat of

nawafil salah and then asking Allah to forgive

you. This is the formal tawbah. This is

for, like, major sins as well that you

need to actually formally make tawbah to Allah

subhanahu wa ta'ala. And then number 3 is

that you have the intention not to return

to that sin. You have the intention to

not go back to it again.

But okay, what happens if you do do

it again? You repeat the process.

If you do it again, you just repeat

the process. You have remorse, you make tawba,

and you make an intention. What happens if

you do it again?

You repeat the process again. What happens if

you do it again?

You repeat the process again. Till when?

How many times can we repeat that process

Until shaitan gives up on you.

Until shaitan despairs of you. Never stop repenting

until shaitan has given up on you And

if he doesn't, then you don't. This is

reality. It is a race to who's gonna

give up first. Are you gonna give up

first returning to Allah or shaitan gonna give

up on you? That is the reality. And

we fight that fight until

the day that we die. But the prophet

salallahu alaihi wa sallam has given us so

many ways, so many ways that we can

receive the mercy of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

We just passed one of them which we

know is an accepted Ramadan. An accepted Ramadan

is the forgiveness of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

An accepted Hajj is the forgiveness of Allah

Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Umrah is forgiveness from Allah

subhanahu wa ta'ala. Coming up soon, you'll have

another chance in a couple of months on

9th of Dhul Hijjah. Those who fast on

9th of Dhul Hijjah sincerely seeking reward from

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. They receive forgiveness from

the previous year's sins and the next year's

sins You know the 6 days of Shawwal

that just

if you fast Ramadan,

add the 6 days of Shawwal and you

forget there's so many paths to the forgiveness

of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

Saying subhanAllah

a

100 times. Forgiveness from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

There are so many paths to do this.

And these are things that the Muslims should

be looking for. We should be looking for

these things. What are ways that I can

earn the forgiveness of

Allah So go through the different modes. There

are so so so many of them. Some

of them are very simple and very easy

and some of them are much more difficult

if you wanna get larger sins or gravity

of sins forgiven

But when it comes to

seeking the forgiveness of Allah, this is something

we should never ever ever give up on

and never think we've done too much, never

think it's impossible.

It's not impossible. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is

more forgiving than you have the capacity to

understand.

There's also another very beautiful dua that you

can make. You make this in the morning

insha'Allah.

It will open up the doors and pathways

to you. 10 times you say

Say this in the morning insha'Allah. See things

open up in your life. But the the

door of istighfar is not just for the

forgiveness of sins.

When those who are increased in their istighfar,

the scholars have said it opens up the

pathways to many things in their life. Those

who are frequent in istighfar,

Allah opens up the doors of his bounty

to them. Allah opens up the doors of

his healing to them. You're having sickness, make

istighfar.

Give sadaqah. Do other things that will help

this insha'Allah.

Open up these pathways for yourself because that

door to tawbah never closes until two things

happen. That's how we'll close insha'amal. The door

to tawba closes in 2 2 times.

For your own personal life, the door of

tawba, the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said,

closes when the soul reaches the throat. Meaning

that the angel of death has presented himself

to you and the soul is about to

come out, that is it. It's too late

at that point. You now oh I see

the reality now. It's too late. And then

the second one, which is for the global

repentance,

is when the sun rises from the west.

When the sun rises from the west, which

is one of the last signs of the

day of judgment, then that after that the

dura of Tawba will close. The sun rises

from the west, the dabb that will come

out from there, the beast that will come

out and speak to people. This is when

the door of repentance closes. But other than

that, it is always open to you insha'allah.

And please, just as a as a as

a small

reminder,

do not go to bed at night without

having

seek the forgiveness of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

Sleep every night with a clean slate. Make

istighfar. If you wake up in the middle

of the night, get up and pray. Our

Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam

used to stand up at night and pray

until his feet cracked and bled. We know

this famously. Right? And Aisha radiAllahu anha wa

raha asked him, why do you do this?

We know that you have been forgiven. Allah

has forgiven your past and future sins. All

everything that you could do has been forgiven.

Why do you stand up all night and

do this? He said then should I not

be

a,

what is the word I'm looking for?

A grateful should I not be a grateful

slave? Should not not be a thankful slave

to subhanahu wa ta'ala for this that he

has given me? That is for he whose

sins had already been forgiven. What about us?

What about us who don't know? What about

us who have no idea whether we're going

to be forgiven or not? Our prophet sallallahu

alaihi wasallam said I make istafar between how

many?

70 to 100 times every single day. This

is someone whom Allah has already forgiven. What

about us? We have to look at our

condition and realize how much more we are

in need and increase in our istafar insha'allah,

and it will open bounteous doors into your

life. Insha'allah, it will open doors that you

you cannot imagine. The scholars have I remember

sitting in a in a in a lecture,

one summer in Madinah

with Sheikh Mohammed Muhtar, Asham Kheti, where he

was going through the benefits of istighfar and

what it does to your life. I wish

that lecture was online. It might be online

somewhere in Arabic. But the amount of things

that come through

seeking the forgiveness of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

So always remember that anytime during the day

you get a moment just say, Astaghfirullah.

Astaghfirullah.

Whatever it is, ask Allah to forgive you

and watch how things open up for you

and your life changes insha'Allah.

Let's have some nice breakfast.

Yes.

You can't get up to pray.

Yes.

Yes. There's so there are there are a

number of different,

du'at that you can say that bring about

Allah's forgiveness.

Look for all of them. And most of

them are very short and most of them

are very light on the tongue as well.

Most of them are very light on the

tongue. They're made very easy. That's one beautiful

thing he was talking about Sheikh Mohammed Makhtar

is that if you look at most of

the duas for forgiveness, Allah has made them

very easy and light on the tongue. They're

not very complicated to say so that people

who are not native Arab speakers cannot say

them. They've been made very light on the

tongue and very easy. Even the even the

one where he said,

SubhanAllah, he will be hamdulhee, SubhanAllah, hil adhim.

He said it's something that is very light

on the tongue but heavy on the scales.

Very light on the tongue, very easy to

say but heavy on the scales. So this

is why Allah has made it another point

that Allah has made it so easy for

us.

Alright.
