			the brothers and sisters in Islam and humanity as salaam alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh me the
peace, mercy and blessings of Allah subhanho wa Taala be on all of you. Welcome to the show,
Ramadan, a date with Dr. Zakir I'm your host use of chambers. And today we will be discussing the
topic of Ramadan.
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17
			The month of repentance.
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:46
			Dr Zakir assalamu alikum walaikum salam ala katra zakia. such an important topic, the month of
repentance. Let's start off by asking you a fundamental question. What is the meaning of the word
Toba? And both in general terms, I want to know it and in the Islamic context, please. The Arabic
word Toba literally means
		
00:01:47 --> 00:02:24
			to return or to come back. And in the Islamic context in the Sharia, it means a person who leaves
the things which Allah subhana wa Taala has privated and he returns back to the things which Allah
subhanaw taala has commanded. So in short, it means a person leaving the axe which aligns privated
and he returns back to the x which allows vana what Allah has commanded. And this aspect of Toba or
repentance is present in all the religions that believe in the concept of God.
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:37
			And Allah subhanaw taala speaks about Toba and repentance in the Quran. in several places, including
surah Noor, chapter number 24. was number 31. Well essays or you believe,
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:59
			turn all together in repentance to Allah subhana wa Taala. So that you may attain bliss repeats a
similar message in Surah Baqarah chapter number two was number 222. Bella says that Allah loves
those who turn to Him independence and Allah loves those who are clean and pure.
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:06
			And a similar message is given in our beloved prophet masala Salam. It mentions a Buhari
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:51
			boredom number eight book of applications. How did number 6309 were a beloved partner Salah Sam said
Allah subhanho wa Taala is more pleased when his servant seeks repentance than any one of you. When
he finds his camel, which has been lost in the desert, that means Allah subhana wa Taala is very
pleased when anyone seeks his repentance, ask for forgiveness, and he forgives him. So in short,
Toba means repentance, which means leaving the Act, which is probably last minute Allah and
returning back to the acts which he has commanded. In short, it's a journey from the dislike the
thing would you like Bella?
		
00:03:52 --> 00:04:07
			Swan Allah, may Allah accept October in that case in Shawn Nagasaki, what is the essential
difference between the term Toba and the term MK Fira meaning I believe forgiveness
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:21
			worked for me forgiveness. And so far, meaning seeking forgiveness is think far. The meaning is of
two types. One type of meaning is when it comes along with the word trauma.
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:31
			And the other meaning is when it comes individually. When it comes individually, it has one and the
same meaning the meaning can be interchange, it means exactly the same.
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:41
			But the scholars, they say when it comes along with the word Toba in ethic far, it means that we are
seeking protection
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:45
			from the past evils that we used to do.
		
00:04:46 --> 00:05:00
			And tapa when it comes along with a stick far. It means that we're pinned into Allah Spano, tala,
and we're seeking predictions from the things which we may indulge in future. So basically
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:39
			Stick fire means seeking protection from the things of the past which wish to do and towba seeking
protection for the things which may, unfortunately, indulge in future. So this is the basic
difference. If it comes separately, the meaning of the same. If it comes together then it has two
different meanings. It's good we are going through this technical definition phase in every episode,
I think this is something which is missing amongst the brothers and sisters. This is the real
understanding of the basic terms. The next question really for me would be Why is it such a special
thing to seek repentance during this holy blessing month of Ramadan, this month is special.
		
00:05:40 --> 00:06:03
			Because Allah subhanho wa Taala He forgives his slaves His servants, the maximum in this month,
therefore it is given the title of Ramadan, the month of forgiveness. And our beloved prophet nos
Lawson said it's mentioned that you know tirmidhi in the book of fasting, number six a to wear a
beloved partner Allison said that when the first night of Ramadan comes,
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:56
			the devils and the demons, they're chained and the gates of * are closed, not even a single gate
is open. And the gates of heaven they open, not even a single gate is closed. And the caller he
calls to the people that all those who want to good, please come and those who are doing evil,
please desist. And Allah subhana wa Taala he ransoms his slaves, and he does that every night from
done and a beloved partner Salah Salem. He further said, it's mentioned as a deed of Timothy Hadid
number 3545 where the beloved partners will seldom manage he goes on the pulpit before he even
called back. And he says our mean mean mean price. The people ask that no messenger Why? So the
		
00:06:56 --> 00:07:43
			Messenger of Allah subhanaw taala says that archangel gabriel had come to him and said that anyone
who does not have his sins forgiven after I'm done is approached and enters hellfire. ask Allah to
keep a distance from him. And then Gabriel says tomorrow Salaam say amin, Salah from says amin Musa
it's unfortunate that anyone witnesses the month of Ramadan and does not have his sins forgiven,
because this is the month of forgiveness. And our beloved port merciless Adamson, as mentioned, say
Buhari, we're number three in the book of fasting. Number 1901. That if anyone fasts in the
compartment of I'm done with belief, and seeking the reward of Allah subhanaw taala all these passes
		
00:07:43 --> 00:08:23
			are forgiven. That's the reason number one is called as the month of forgiveness. Subhana Allah and
Dr. Zakir we used to have a saying back in the days before I embraced Islam that I wish it could be
Christmas every day. And I'm going to say I wish it could be Ramadan every day now, more
appropriately. What about the necessities of seeking repentance, especially during this holy month
of Ramadan? And what are the merits of seeking forgiveness? It is compulsory for every believer of
Allah subhanaw taala for every Muslim, that if he does anything, whether minor or major, small or
big, he should repent as soon as possible. Repentance is compulsory for any sin that have committed.
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:48
			And Allah says in the Quran in Surah Surah chapter number 24 was number 31. Oh you believe turn
altogether independence to Allah subhanaw taala so that you may attain bliss, that it may become
successful, so they're meant to paradise. And like it's a similar message in sort of chapter number
66 was number eight. That oh you believe turned to Allah subhana wa Taala with sincere repentance.
		
00:08:49 --> 00:09:00
			And Allah further says in the Quran in surah hood, chapter number 11 was number three that asked for
forgiveness to Allah subhanaw taala and forgive repentance so that he made it good to you.
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:16
			Allah smart Allah says in the Quran in surah chapter number 42 was number 25. That he accepts
repentance and forgive sins and ask for forgiveness for Allah subhanaw taala is of forgiving and
most merciful.
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:44
			And Allah says in the Quran is for the mother. Chapter number five was the metallic nine. That if
the thief if he depends, and if he changes his axe after the painting, if he has changed his axe,
then Allah subhanaw taala turns to him in forgiveness. For last minute Allah is Forgiving and most
merciful. Allah repeat similar messages from either chapter five, verse number 34
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:59
			that ask Allah subhanaw taala for forgiveness for his forgiving and most merciful besides several
verses of the Quran, the seven Hadith which speaks about the merit of taba for example, if you have
a beloved posh masala salon
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:26
			Say boy Howdy, port number eight book of applications added number 16 07. Were a beloved prophet Mr.
Lawson. He says that I asked for forgiveness and repentance more than 17 times a day. Imagine our
beloved prophet masala Salaam, who's the best of examples? Who's the best human being on the face of
the earth? He says that he asked for forgiveness and repentance Allah subhanaw taala more than 70
times a day.
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:32
			It was mentioned in the Muslim world number four
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:35
			in the book of dicker
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:38
			Hadith number
		
00:10:39 --> 00:11:11
			six sight to three, bear a beloved partner, Samson, or believers, you should repent. And I repent
every day 100 times to Allah subhanaw taala. It's mentioned in the hadith of say Muslim boy number
four, in the book of repentance. How did number 6644 that a beloved partner fellow servant said that
last minute Allah stretches out his hand during the night for the people who repent for the sins
they have committed from dawn to dusk.
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:34
			And Allah subhanho wa Taala stretches out his hand during the day for the people who repent for the
sins they have committed from dusk to dawn until the sun rises from the west. That means until the
Day of Resurrection, that means Allah subhanaw taala will forgive us in the end of the day
resurrection. Whoever depends. A similar Hadith
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:41
			is mentioned in famous limb by number four in the book of dicker Hadith number five to five,
		
00:11:42 --> 00:12:18
			where our beloved Prophet Musa lucidum said that Allah subhana wa Taala will keep on forgiving for
anyone who repents until the sun rises from the west. Let him the last one out Allah will forgive
the sins until the Day of Resurrection, if any of his slaves and if it's sovereigns, ask for
forgiveness. For the it's mentioned in, say Buhari, born the marriage in the book of Rika, Hadid
number 6438 where the Beloved Prophet Muslim said that, if the son of Adam
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:20
			was given
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:22
			a value of gold,
		
00:12:23 --> 00:13:13
			he would yet want a second one. And if a second value of gold is given to him, he would want the
third for there is nothing that fills the stomach of the son of Adam, except just this shows that
the greed that human beings have, and in respect to him with Nam, Allah gives you always seeks for
more and more. Now they should repent and ask for forgiveness. And the different version of God that
could earlier it's mentioned in say Muslim world number four, in the book of dicker Hadith number
6613. Were a beloved partner. Some said that Allah subhanho wa Taala is more pleased when his
servant repents. Many servant ask for forgiveness than a person who while traveling on his camel in
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:58
			the desert, he stopped for rest. And he sleeps beneath a tree. And when he wakes up, he sees his
camel laden with goods. He's not there. So he climbs on a mount. And he tries to find the camera
don't find it. He climbs on the second mound, but it doesn't find it to climb the third mount. He
doesn't find it. Then he turns back, lower his position. And there he sees his camera laden with the
goods. And he's so happy. So last minute, Allah is more happy than a person who finds his lost Tamil
laden with goods in the desert. Allah is more happy than that. When a person asked for forgiveness
many depends. So these are the merits of repentance. And Toba reminds me of my own journey to Islam
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:03
			once again, month of Ramadan. This is when I found my fidra hamdulillah.
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:50
			Dr. Zakir Could you explain to us in brief or at length and depending on the answer, what are the
main benefits of seeking repentance during this last month of Ramadan? The benefits of seeking
forgiveness. Repentance Toba is according to Mr. Moraga is funny, he gives three benefits for
personal reference. Number one, it patches up the fault that a person has. And he realizes the point
of entry into the heart of the devil. He realized this is the point which is weak through which the
devil can enter and this makes the person more aware and evasive of the evil.
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:52
			Number two
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:59
			is that the person he feels embarrassed and he's fearful
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:28
			Allah subhanaw taala and that brings in him the humility and humbleness. Number three, a person who
has tasted the evil and then comes back to the good, he has a taste of both the good and the evil,
he has the taste of sweet as well as a bitter. So, when you feed other brothers, other human beings
committing the same fault, he is soft towards them, and he forgives them and he helps them.
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:37
			According to him nickim he gives six benefits for personal reference. Number one, when a person
repents,
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:52
			it is the best thing that Allah loves. Allah subhanaw taala love when a person depends, and you ask
forgiveness, because then a person depends he's very close to Allah subhanaw taala and you find
humility and humbleness. Number two,
		
00:15:53 --> 00:16:33
			the act of repentance is one of the best acts of worship, where Allah Spano tala, he realizes that
his slave, that his servant has come back to the true part and he asked for forgiveness, and he
believes in Allah subhanaw taala and it makes a last man out Allah as I mentioned earlier, that more
happier than a person when he finds his common which is lost. Number three, it brings humility and
humbleness in a person. So he starts believing in the creator last one are much more than before.
Number four, when the person depends, His heart is broken. And this is the time in Allah subhana wa
Taala.
		
00:16:34 --> 00:17:15
			He years. That was the repentance, as a beloved Prophet Musa Lawson said, Michel maga, we're number
three book of fasting Hadith number 1752, that Allah subhanaw taala just a supplication of three
people. One is a just ruler Alma. Second is a person who's fasting, and the third person is
oppressed. In another Hadith, it says that the last one out Allah, just a supplication of three
people are in the traveling, fasting operation. Here it indicates that all these three types of
people, their hearts are broken. So last month, Allah comes closer to the servants when the hearts
are broken, and the last one of them helps them and gives them mercy.
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:49
			The fifth benefit is that when a person he depends sincerely, it is one of the best forms of
worship, and the sing of one of the celebs. that a person, he may commit a sin and may repent, and
I'll forgive him and he can do paradise. On the other hand, a person who does good deeds, and he may
have conceit, and because of that he meant to help. The person may be proud that you know he had
made no mistake, no sin, and that may take him to hellfire. The sixth benefit is,
		
00:17:50 --> 00:18:20
			as Allah says, In the Quran, in Surah Furqan, chapter number 25, verse number 70, that all those who
believe and they repent, and they seek forgiveness, Allah subhanho wa Taala turns to them, and he
forgives them and he changes the evil deed into good deed for Allah is oft forgiving and most
merciful, and appointed near busman lopi that in the moment, this verse of the Quran was revealed.
The beloved partner sulla sallam, he was the most happy.
		
00:18:21 --> 00:19:11
			Even above millipede with him says that the most happy when a love messenger was after any verse of
the Quran was revealed it was this was also for contact 25 verse 17, as well as also refer to
chapter 14 verse number one well last month says that we have given you manifest victory during for
the Makkah and Allah says in Surah chapter 14 was number three, that he is a forgiving and Allah
acceptance and is the one who forgives. And it's mentioned in chapter number 15 Muslim 49 that last
minute tala is Forgiving and Merciful is the head of Turkey regarding another important aspect how
Allah subhanaw taala accepts Toba repentance. What are the prerequisites for sincere Toba? And could
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:24
			you possibly enlighten us with some prophetic traditions of some of the prophets making Toba to
Allah subhanaw taala unless isn't the Quran surah chapter number 56 was the breed
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:45
			that yeah live in Amman oh you believe turn to Allah subhanaw taala with sincere repentance. And
there are basically five prerequisites for Allah subhanaw taala to accept Toba. Number one the
person should accept that he's doing is wrong. Number two, should immediately stop it.
		
00:19:46 --> 00:20:00
			Number three, should seek forgiveness from Allah subhanaw taala. Number four, he should not commit
that act again. And number five, if he has taken something from any other human being and if you
return it if you turn it back, for example,
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:18
			robbed some money, shut down the money back, invest in some wealth Did you give the wealth back, if
we can undo the harm, he should do it. And according to him, he says that repentance is accepted
when the person does not do that evil act again.
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:30
			And it further helps him to do good deeds and prevents him from going back to that act. Currently,
Mama Novi, he says, there are three prerequisites
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:46
			for any Toba to be accepted. Number one, is to stop that what he's doing. Number two, should ask for
forgiveness. Number three, he should not do it again. And he says that the fourth requirement, if he
had done some harm to any other human being, then should undo it if you can.
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:51
			And there are various examples in the Hadith,
		
00:20:52 --> 00:21:11
			which give that how people have asked for forgiveness. It's mentioned that they have say Buhari,
warned before in the book of stories of the Prophet, how did number 3470 that there was a person who
had committed 99 murders.
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:23
			So he wants to seek repentance. So he asked the people that how can you do it? So listen, go monk,
someone says that you have kill 99 people,
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:52
			there is no chance of forgiveness. So that person that murderer, he kills the monk. And now you have
committed 100 murders. So it goes to another person and says that I want to seek repentance. So he
says that if you want to seek repentance, go to that land, where people are worshiping Allah
subhanaw taala and inshallah you should leave the land in which you have committed the crime, and go
to that land where people are seeking repentance, and inshallah Allah will
		
00:21:53 --> 00:22:26
			Gandhi forgiveness. So he immediately goes towards that land, but on his way, that takes place, and
he dies. And he turns this just towards that village, where people are repenting, then both the
angels, the angels of God, and the angels are bad, both come, and they won't take him the angel from
the heaven faith, that we will take him because he would repent. But then just from the bad deeds,
the *, they say, No, he has not committed a single good deed, we will take him to your last
minute, intervene.
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:33
			And he asks the village where people are painting, that it should come closer
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:35
			to the person who's committed murder.
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:51
			And he commands to the place where committed the crime, that it should go further away. So when they
measure the district, they find out that the person who committed the murder, he was one stand
closer to the village where people are repenting.
		
00:22:52 --> 00:23:24
			For the last minute Allah consumption. So this is an example, that a person commits 100 murder, and
he wants to repent, only the knee of repenting and traveling towards that place. And a different
version of the same idea says that while dying, he pushes himself towards the knee looks towards the
place where he can get forgiveness. So this shows that only the Nia and the intention to ask for
forgiveness, Allah forgives. There is another example in say, Muslim, world number three, in the
book of food, added number 4207.
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:29
			There was a lady from the tribe of Johanna, she comes to the Prophet,
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:38
			and she had somebody adultery, and she was pregnant. So she comes to the Prophet says, that I've
done so and so sin,
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:41
			please give me punishment.
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:42
			So the Prophet
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:49
			calls her master, and says, take care of this woman, till she delivers the child.
		
00:23:50 --> 00:24:13
			And after that, get her to me. So the master takes care of her. After she gives birth to a child, he
gets the woman. Then the Prophet says, because of the adultery, she has to be given that penalty.
And the lady, she's asked to wrap around herself with a cloth, and the people stoning to death. And
after she dies, the prophet, he prays for her.
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:30
			So Omar, my life peace with him, says, The true prophet, you're praying for a woman who's committed
adultery. And the Prophet replies, that the way she has repented, even if you distribute this
repentance to 70 people of Medina it would be sufficient for them to question
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:43
			who can depend better than the woman who's willing to give her life for the sake of Allah subhanaw
taala a similar example is given in say Muslim, born mythri in the book of
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:59
			Hadith number 4205. That my husband, Malik will be the team. He comes to the Prophet, and he says,
that, please purify me. The Prophet says What do you
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:03
			Go and ask for forgiveness Allah Spano, tala, and you repent.
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:10
			The person who goes back again he comes and says, No messenger, please pardon me. He says, What do
you
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:31
			ask for forgiveness Allah Spano, tala, and you repent. Again the person goes, again you come for
third time. Oh messenger of Allah, please purify me. If they've gone away from you asked for
repentance, or forgiveness or last minute. Again the fourth time he comes in, he says to the
Prophet, please pardon me. The Prophet says, From what?
		
00:25:32 --> 00:25:37
			So my mellow president, he says that from adultery.
		
00:25:38 --> 00:25:41
			He says, Are you mad? Have you gone crazy?
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:55
			So the person says, No, I'm not mad. The Prophet is that are you drunk? Did you have comer? Did you
have wine? So the other people get up and the smell is more they said no prophet. He said no hammer.
		
00:25:57 --> 00:26:08
			Is it? Did you really commit adultery says yes, I've committed adultery, and I want the punishment
for the sin have committed. So I'd have no Saracen asked the people to stoning. And he was stoned to
death.
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:19
			After stoned to death, there's a controversy between the summers and the two groups of people. One
group of people say that he has been undone.
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:25
			That means it's a pity that he will not get my phrase and the other group say,
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:44
			Allah subhanaw taala has accepted my millipede ism. Allah accept repentance, and he shall go to
China. This happens for two or three days. Then the Beloved Prophet Muhammad Hassan comes and they
test to the Sabbath, that pray for my Malik, because he has repented for a sin.
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:58
			And if you distribute his dependents, even in a large number of people, in a group of people, it can
be sufficient. Research shows that the people that committed a major sin, but the repentant
		
00:26:59 --> 00:27:15
			they were even willing to have themselves killed. Because both these people knew very well. The
punishment for adultery was that it was trying to that we had showed that the high level of taqwa
they had the sincere repentance, that that from Allah subhanaw taala, and
		
00:27:16 --> 00:27:38
			some beautiful examples and stories from wonderful companions of the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu
alayhi Salaam. Thank you very much for that. Dr. Zakir, what are the special elements which go
together to make a sincere repentance, there are four things required. Number one, a person should
realize the power of Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:27:39 --> 00:28:18
			his power and his greatness, that if he wants to punish, you can punish immediately, this will make
person repent. And we should not look at the minute Enos of our sin, we should look at the greatness
forgiveness of Allah subhanaw taala as Allah says, No Quran in surah chapter number 71 verse number
13 and 14, Allah says that what has happened to you Don't we have hope in the kindness and
forgiveness of Allah subhanaw taala that he created you in different stages. So if you know the
rightness of Allah subhanaw taala and you're going to forgive you inshallah you repent, number two,
everyone should realize that one day when you die,
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:30
			and you want to go to the grave, Allah says in the Quran in surah, Al Imran Chapter Three was the
185 glue, knifes in Xactimate, every soul shall have a taste of that.
		
00:28:31 --> 00:28:35
			And on the Day of Judgment shall be the full Recompense.
		
00:28:36 --> 00:28:43
			That means everyone has to die. And the final, if up, get up, the final two companies will grant the
judgment.
		
00:28:44 --> 00:29:06
			And Allah says no for an insert of man, chap number 31 was a default, Allah says that no one knows
what will earn tomorrow. And no one knows in which land will die. So if realized that everyone has
to die, and we don't know when will that time come? So that will help us instrumenting as soon as
possible. We don't know when is our last our.
		
00:29:07 --> 00:29:20
			The third point is that all the rewards for this one and nakara is based on your deeds for what
you're going to do for your IRA. The deed for akshara will actually reward you in this role and
		
00:29:21 --> 00:29:59
			that's very important. And Allah says no Quran in Surah Fatiha episode if I was in the fight, that
the promise of Allah is true, and let this present world deceive you and let not achieve deceiver
deceive you against Allah subhanho wa Taala that means we have to be careful that all our acts and
deeds should basically target about the Hara about the hereafter. And as it is mentioned
intermediate Hadith number two to zero. When the Beloved Prophet Musa Muslim said that this world
for last minute Allah is equivalent to the ring of light and Allah subhanaw taala would not
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:12
			allow a disbeliever, even to have a handful of water from it, this world in comparison to the head
after it like a wing of light, and you would not allow a disbelief even to have a hand full of
water. A similar message is given
		
00:30:13 --> 00:31:01
			in say Muslim, born before in the book of Paradise, Hadid, number 643, with the Beloved Prophet said
that, in the sight of Allah subhanaw taala, this world, as compared to the Hereafter, is like a
person, putting his finger, the forefinger into the ocean. And when he gets it out, water stuck to
the forefinger is like the present world, the present world, just hardly some little water that gets
stuck to the forefinger. That's equivalent, as compared to the mighty ocean, that is the hereafter.
So, so little, is the significance of this world as compared to the hereafter. Therefore we should
realize that this life is the test for the hereafter. And Allah says in the Quran in surah mulk
		
00:31:01 --> 00:31:49
			chapter number 16, verse number two, unless the follicle motto hatha, it is Allah who has created
that life to test which is good indeed. The fourth point is that women we should realize that the
punishment can be expended in this world. And whatever punishment they get, it is because of the sin
whatever calamity takes place. In this, it is basically for the sin, as Allah says in Surah Surah,
chapter number 43. Muslim 76 that no wife shall we be unjust to them, but it is paid what have been
unjust to themselves. So these four points are very important to be removed. So, Helen, thank you,
Dr. Zakir once again for the answer. Dr. Zakir if we could just now clarify, what is the best time
		
00:31:49 --> 00:32:30
			in one's life to seek repentance? Is there a best time Indeed, Allah says in the Quran in surah
chapter number four was the myth 17 that Allah accepts the repentance of the person and then it says
in ignorance, and he asked for forgiveness quickly. Allah subhanho wa Taala is most merciful and is
the most knowledgeable and wise. Now you're based on the commentary of this verse of the Quran.
According to Mujahid Allah have mercy on him, he said that the sin in ignorance means that any sin
done knowingly or unknowingly, unless the person does not come away from the sin, it is an
inherently
		
00:32:31 --> 00:33:13
			that means all the sins ALLAH forgive as long as a person depends quickly, as far as quickly is
concerned according to Hassan bursary. mela Have mercy on him, he said quickly, he means before
that, and Batman llopis him, he said quickly here means that before a person has a sickness, which
is mentioned in the hadith of a beloved Prophet, or Muslim, salaam, tirmidhi book of applications,
Hadith number 3537, that Allah subhana wa Taala will accept the repentance of his servant, till his
death rattle begins, that means till the time he goes on his deathbed, unless he is in the last
stage of life, meaning the deathbed that the only time and love and not accept the dependence
		
00:33:14 --> 00:33:37
			anytime before that he will accept. So that means all the scholars and MSC degree that quickly here
in this Quranic verse for any such chapter four, verse 17, means that we should ask forgiveness
before that. Allah says in Surah assumer, Chapter 39, verse 54, to 58 it says that turn to Lord and
repentance before the penalty comes before it's too late. Unless your soul says
		
00:33:39 --> 00:33:41
			that I have done wrong deed.
		
00:33:42 --> 00:34:29
			And I mocked or the soul may say that please give me one more chance. But it'll be too late. Allah
says in Surah maamoun chapter 23 verse 1900, that when the time is over, when the time on the
deathbed has come and then you say that all last minute Allah give me one more chance and unless
that it's too late, they cannot bend the chance given. So the time for repentance should be that if
any sin is done in ignorance, you should repent as soon as possible. And Allah Spano tala from his
mercy with Modi, he will forgive you just Dr. Zakir for answering the question. Another question
which is of equal importance, if not more, a lot of people are concerned about this I know I am
		
00:34:29 --> 00:34:59
			myself How do we know what are the indications and how do we know whether repentance is accepted?
What are the indications the indication as far as for repentance to be acceptable Last Man on tala
number one is that you do not commit the same sin again and your good deeds keep on increasing in a
bad date keep on decreasing lesson number one thing that a lot of accepted repentance, number two,
that you have the fear of Allah subhanaw taala number two
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:05
			Three is that you regret to Allah subhanaw taala and you keep on asking his forgiveness.
		
00:35:06 --> 00:35:55
			Number four is that you're humble, and you always address him in humility. So these are the four
signs, we show that your repentance has been acceptable last minute Allah. The signs of non
acceptance of the towbar repentance is deficiency in the person's repentance. And he remembers the
pleasures of the sinners, and he gets preoccupied in continuing the sin. That's number one. Number
two, he for sure. That will print it will be accepted as though he has got immunity, and he's immune
to it ensure he'd be forgiven. That's number two. Number three is that his eyes Don't cry, and his
heart is hardened. Number four, there's no increase in the good activities that he's doing. no
		
00:35:55 --> 00:36:35
			increase in the good deeds. And a beloved partner from said it's mentioned in say Muslim one, number
four in the book of repentance, Hadith number six, six to one, that if the people do not commit
anything, Allah subhana wa Taala will wipe them out and replaced with the people who commit sin and
to ask for forgiveness so that I like in forgiving them. Know here, if you understand this Hadith,
it will look very odd that does allow us to do sin. If you don't do sin, Allah will remove you what
it means that there are some people who may do sin, and who may ask for forgiveness and repent and
make them prove that Allah subhanaw taala and the good deeds will increase. And these people are
		
00:36:35 --> 00:37:20
			good agenda. On the other hand, some people do good deeds, and they have a conceit. They're so proud
of themselves, and that will take them to the hellfire. So law says that if there's a group of
people who don't do sin, a level replace them with the people who do sinful that they will ask
forgiveness and Allah will forgive them. That means you should have humility to do the same for not
acceptance of Futaba May Allah subhanho wa Taala continue to accept repentance in October Dr. Zakir,
there is another question which I have which is just to end this particular session, this particular
show, and that is, is there any limitation to the sins that Allah subhanho wa Taala can accept our
		
00:37:20 --> 00:37:36
			Toba for as far as love forgiveness is concerned and is concerned, every surah every chapter of the
Quran, it begins with a beautiful formula Bismillah R Rahman Rahim In the name of Allah, most
Gracious, Most Merciful, every surah except for chapter number nine sir Toba.
		
00:37:37 --> 00:38:07
			And Allah says in the Quran, in Surah zomer chapter nine, verse 53, that all my servants who have
transgressed against their souls dispay not the most if Allah subhanaw taala for Allah and forgive
all sins, Allah is Forgiving and most merciful. Allah says that about two years in maybe Allah
subhanaw taala he can forgive any of your sins, as long as you repent.
		
00:38:08 --> 00:38:37
			If you repent in the right way, and if you ask forgiveness, Allah will inshallah forgive you. And a
beloved partner Salah from said, it's Michelle Sadie of hypnagogia, added number four to five one,
the beloved Prophet said that every sin of Adam, he commits sin, and the best is the person who
repents. If you commit sin, no problem, but if you repent, then you're the best person. Repentance
is very important, especially the remedy for it number 3540.
		
00:38:38 --> 00:38:54
			Where a beloved partner Sarah slim said, that Allah says, oh, son of Adam, you may do anything, and
I will forgive all your sins. Even if your sin is rich to the clouds in the sky, I will forgive
them. You ask me for mercy, and I will forgive you.
		
00:38:55 --> 00:39:12
			It's for the missionary of say Muslim Hadith number 6246. The Beloved Prophet Musa lesson said, that
law says, even if you do sin day and night, and ask for forgiveness, I will forgive you. You asked
me from pardon, and I will forgive you especially and say Buhari
		
00:39:13 --> 00:39:24
			number 800. Number 5999. There were some prisoners of war with at least mainly children, woman and
one lady.
		
00:39:25 --> 00:39:57
			She searches for a son, and she cannot find a son. The moment she sees any child, she breastfeed the
child, the name of the child she sees she breastfeed the child. Finally, she finds her own child to
the profit as the Sabbath. But when this woman finds her son, even if he had done a sin, then will
she throw the sun in the sky? They said no. Allah subhanaw taala loves his servants, even if they
commit sin more than the lady loves the child.
		
00:39:58 --> 00:39:59
			So based on this, we realize that last month
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:03
			tala is willing to forgive any of your sin as long as repent.
		
00:40:05 --> 00:40:23
			And just the last question Allah says in the Quran and sort of DISA, chapter number four was
unfortunate that if Allah subhanaw taala pleases, he can forgive anything, but the sin of schicke
he'll ever forgive you It means that if a person does Shrek and depends before he dies,
		
00:40:24 --> 00:40:57
			before the death rattle, inshallah Allah will forgive even just enough shit. If he repents and comes
to the straight path and believes in Allah subhanaw taala believes in Allah will even forgive him,
his sin of shirk, which is biggest sin. But if he died as a mushrik, after he dies, Allah says here,
that he will not forgive the sin of any other thing if he wishes he may forgive, but the sin of
shake near forgive shed is the biggest sin. So from here we come to know that Allah subhanaw taala
is the most merciful and willing to forgive the sins of the servants.
		
00:40:58 --> 00:41:47
			Subhana Allah. Indeed, Allah subhanaw taala is the Most Merciful of Zakir. Thank you very much for
answering all the questions on the topic today. It's such an important topic it was myself I feel
sure that now I will know exactly how to ask Allah subhanaw taala during this wonderful month of
Ramadan, and use every breath of the 30 days Sharla for the benefit of abralon opinions on this
glorious month. I mean, I mean all of the Muslims in Sharla and let's hope that some of the non
Muslims will take the benefit of this wonderful month and they also will ask with sincerity and the
correct methodology for Allah subhanaw taala is guidance and Allah will accept their repentance, as
		
00:41:47 --> 00:41:47
			well as
		
00:41:49 --> 00:42:05
			their brothers and sisters who come to the end of the show. We weren't able to answer all of your
questions regarding the topic, but inshallah, tomorrow we will endeavor to answer all of those
questions. So
		
00:42:06 --> 00:42:20
