Allah Smiles at This Sinner

There is a hadith Qudsi of Allah when He says about this sinner:

My slave turns to Me knowing I am a very forgiving Lord. He has committed a sin and he turns to Me. He says: “Oh Allah you are my Lord, forgive me.”

So Allah says to the angels:

I have forgiven him for he knows he has a forgiving Lord.

And this continues and continues. This man goes back and commits the same sin again and he turns to Allah saying:

“Oh Allah I’ve done it again!”

He made a sincere repentance and cries again. And he slips again and he finds Allah forgiving him. The man goes back and he commits the same sin again and again and he keeps coming back and Allah smiles upon him. He says to the angels:

Look at my slave, he knows he is a sinner, and he knows he has a Lord and he knows his Lord is forgiving. Oh My angels bear witness I have forgiven him no matter what he does. (Al-Bukhari and Muslim)

So the only true failure, true destruction, true path to hellfire is when you listen to Satan when he tells you, you’re too despicable, you’ve committed too many sins, don’t make dua!

When you give into that, you’ve failed.

Keep Going to Allah

The battle is not being perfect, the battle is keep coming back.

Flee back to Allah. (Quran 51:50)

The moment you quit going back to Allah and you give into your sins, the day you’ve destroyed yourself.

So long as you keep going back to Allah, you’re going to Jannah Inshallah.

There is another hadith of this sinner that’s struggling all his life sinning again and again, on the Day of Judgment Allah calls him forward. He’s called forward and the scales are brought in front of him. And his good deeds are very little, it’s been destroyed by all the sins he kept committing. But he kept coming back to Allah.

Then Allah brought his sin one and put it in the scale, and he was ashamed. And another sin, and another sin… This continued for so long this man thought, “surely I’m going to Hell, I’m destroyed.”

And there are two such narrations: one says Allah took his shahadah, his true belief in one God: “la ilaha illa Allah, Muhammad rasul Allah.” Put it in his good scale and it outweighed all of those sins.

Another narration says that he cried to his Lord and said:

“Oh Allah look at me, I’m destroyed. Is there any mercy for me today?”

And Allah says:

It’s by My mercy you are here. I covered these sins in dunya and I covered them today in the Day of Judgment and I have forgiven them. Enter My Paradise.

The day you give into Satan and your despairs, the day you’ve destroyed yourself. Never despair. Allah is Oft Forgiving and He will forgive.

List of Times and Places Where Dua is Accepted

A short reminder regarding the recommended times of dua . And I think what you need to know here is that the recommended times of dua or recommended things that can cause your dua to be accepted, can be divided into two sort of large groups: Am I Good Enough to Make Dua for Myself? Situations where your dua is accepted. Times where your dua is accepted So I’m going to very briefly mention them one after the other as much as possible. As for situations where your dua has been accepted: – The person who has been wronged or oppressed . – A person who finds themselves in severe difficulty after a calamity has struck. – The person who is traveling. – Someone who is fasting. – The one who is reciting the Quran or has just recited the Quran – Someone who is performing Hajj or Umrah or jihad. – The one who is making dua for someone in their absence . Because we know that when you make dua for someone in his absence an angel says: “ Ameen and to you”. – A person...

Ghuraba (The Strangers): Nasheed with English Subtitles

Islam began as something strange, and it shall return to being something strange, so give glad tidings the strangers. (Sahih Muslim 145) This famous nasheed has many versions; this one is from Muhammad al-Salman and has the subtitles in English embedded. [We are] strangers and we do not bow the foreheads to anyone besides Allah  […] Transliteration to help in the pronounciation:  Ghurabaa’ wa li ghairillaahi laa nahnil jibaa Aisha Stacey  wrote in an article for Aboutislam.net : “I think that many of you would agree that being Muslim in the 21st century makes you well acquainted with being strange. It might even be a metaphor for random, as in you have been randomly selected. […] many converts to Islam will tell you about feeling as if they were strangers, before finding Islam. They will speak of feeling that they belonged somewhere else that their lives were just slightly off center. They often speak about a vague sense of knowing they were not like everyone else...

Taqwa – Living the Main Purpose of Ramadan

Taqwa is a major purpose for the month of Ramadan. The people of taqwa are those who do the things that they are commanded and avoid the things which Allah has made prohibitive. And evidently, to reach a state of taqwa requires vigilance, it requires patience and sincerity. The verse is pertaining to fasting I found in a single set of verses in chapter 2 starting at verse 183: O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous. ( 2:183 ) A Collective Act of Worship Allah is telling us that fasting has been made obligatory and then Allah tells us that just as it was prescribed for those before us. We often get asked this question in Ramadan, “how’s the fast going for us?” And if we gave ourselves a moment to think about it, we see that Allah Most High has made the fast inside the month of Ramadan easy for us because we know that there is a collective spirit to fasting; we know that we’re not alone in this ...
