00:00:01--> 00:00:02

What is the meaning of the word

00:00:03--> 00:00:03

Tawba?

00:00:04--> 00:00:04

And

00:00:05--> 00:00:07

both in general terms, I want to know

00:00:07--> 00:00:09

it, and in the Islamic

00:00:09--> 00:00:10

context please.

00:00:11--> 00:00:12

The Arabic word Tawba

00:00:13--> 00:00:14

literally

00:00:14--> 00:00:15

means

00:00:16--> 00:00:17

to return

00:00:17--> 00:00:18

or to come back

00:00:19--> 00:00:21

and in the Islamic context, in the Sharia,

00:00:22--> 00:00:24

it means, a person who leaves

00:00:25--> 00:00:28

the things which Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has

00:00:28--> 00:00:29

prohibited

00:00:29--> 00:00:32

and he returns back to the things which

00:00:32--> 00:00:34

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has commanded. So, in

00:00:34--> 00:00:36

short, it means a person

00:00:36--> 00:00:39

leaving the acts which Allah has prohibited

00:00:39--> 00:00:42

and he returns back to the acts which

00:00:42--> 00:00:44

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'la has commanded

00:00:45--> 00:00:45

and

00:00:46--> 00:00:48

this aspect of Tawba or repentance

00:00:49--> 00:00:51

is present in all the religions

00:00:51--> 00:00:53

that believe in the concept of God

00:00:54--> 00:00:57

and Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala speaks about Tawba

00:00:57--> 00:00:58

and repentance in the Quran

00:00:59--> 00:01:00

in several places,

00:01:00--> 00:01:03

including Sura Noor, chapter number 24,

00:01:03--> 00:01:05

verse number 31, where Allah says, O you

00:01:05--> 00:01:06

who believe,

00:01:07--> 00:01:10

turn altogether in repentance to Allah Subhanahu Wa

00:01:10--> 00:01:12

Ta'la so that you may attain Bliss!

00:01:12--> 00:01:15

Allah repeats a similar message in Surah Baqarah,

00:01:15--> 00:01:18

chapter number 2, verse number 222,

00:01:18--> 00:01:21

where Allah says that Allah loves

00:01:22--> 00:01:24

those who turn to Him in repentance and

00:01:24--> 00:01:25

Allah loves

00:01:25--> 00:01:26

those

00:01:26--> 00:01:28

who are clean and pure

00:01:29--> 00:01:31

And a similar message is given in the

00:01:31--> 00:01:33

Hadith of our beloved Prophet Muhammad SAWAYSAWAYAM.

00:01:34--> 00:01:35

It's mentioned in Sahib Bukhari,

00:01:36--> 00:01:37

verb number 8,

00:01:38--> 00:01:39

book of applications,

00:01:39--> 00:01:40

Hadith number

00:01:40--> 00:01:41

6309,

00:01:42--> 00:01:44

where our beloved Prophet Muhammad said,

00:01:45--> 00:01:47

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'la is more pleased when

00:01:47--> 00:01:49

His servant seeks repentance

00:01:50--> 00:01:51

than any one of you

00:01:52--> 00:01:52

when

00:01:52--> 00:01:55

he finds his camel which has been lost

00:01:55--> 00:01:57

in the desert that means Allah Subhanahu Wa

00:01:57--> 00:01:59

Ta'la is very pleased

00:01:59--> 00:02:02

when anyone seeks His repentance, asks for forgiveness

00:02:02--> 00:02:03

and he forgives

00:02:03--> 00:02:06

them. So in short, Tawba

00:02:06--> 00:02:07

means Repentance,

00:02:08--> 00:02:09

which means

00:02:09--> 00:02:11

leaving the act, which is filed by Allah

00:02:11--> 00:02:14

Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and returning back to the

00:02:14--> 00:02:16

acts which He has commanded. In short, it's

00:02:16--> 00:02:18

a journey from the dislike

00:02:18--> 00:02:19

last.

00:02:18--> 00:02:19

last.
