رد: Juristic Rulings Relevant to Purification, Prayer, and Funerals Repentance
Repentance is to turn back from the disobedience of Allah to His obedience.
Repentance is obligatory upon every believer:{O you who believe, repent to Allah with sincere repentance} [Al-Tahreem: 8]Repentance is beloved to Allah, Exalted and Glorified:{Indeed, Allah loves those who are constantly repentant and loves those who purify themselves.} [Al-Baqarah: 222]Repentance is one of the causes of success:{And turn to Allah in repentance, all of you, O believers, that you might succeed.} [Al-Noor: 31]Success is that a person attains what he hopes for and is saved from what he fears.Through repentance, Allah expiates sins regardless of how grave and how numerous they are:{Say, “O My servants who have transgressed against themselves by sinning, do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful.} [Al-Zumar: 53]My Brother who sins, do not despair of the mercy of your Lord, for the door of repentance is open until the sun rises from the west.The Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Verily, Allah stretches out His Hand during the night so that the sinner of the day may repent, and stretches out His Hand in the day so that the sinner of the night may repent. He keeps doing so until the sun rises from the west.” [Muslim]Many are those who repented from numerous grave sins and Allah accepted their repentance.Allah, Exalted and Glorified, said: {And those who do not invoke with Allah another deity or kill the soul which Allah has forbidden to be killed, except by right, and do not commit unlawful sexual intercourse. And whoever should do that will meet a penalty. Multiplied for him is the punishment on the Day of Resurrection, and he will abide therein humiliated. Except for those who repent, believe, and do righteous work. For them Allah will replace their evil deeds with good. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful.} [Al-Furqؤپn: 68-70]
{O you who believe, repent to Allah with sincere repentance} [Al-Tahreem: 8]
Repentance is beloved to Allah, Exalted and Glorified:
{Indeed, Allah loves those who are constantly repentant and loves those who purify themselves.} [Al-Baqarah: 222]
Repentance is one of the causes of success:
{And turn to Allah in repentance, all of you, O believers, that you might succeed.} [Al-Noor: 31]
Success is that a person attains what he hopes for and is saved from what he fears.
Through repentance, Allah expiates sins regardless of how grave and how numerous they are:
{Say, “O My servants who have transgressed against themselves by sinning, do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful.} [Al-Zumar: 53]
My Brother who sins, do not despair of the mercy of your Lord, for the door of repentance is open until the sun rises from the west.
The Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said:
“Verily, Allah stretches out His Hand during the night so that the sinner of the day may repent, and stretches out His Hand in the day so that the sinner of the night may repent. He keeps doing so until the sun rises from the west.” [Muslim]
Many are those who repented from numerous grave sins and Allah accepted their repentance.
Allah, Exalted and Glorified, said: {And those who do not invoke with Allah another deity or kill the soul which Allah has forbidden to be killed, except by right, and do not commit unlawful sexual intercourse. And whoever should do that will meet a penalty. Multiplied for him is the punishment on the Day of Resurrection, and he will abide therein humiliated. Except for those who repent, believe, and do righteous work. For them Allah will replace their evil deeds with good. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful.} [Al-Furqؤپn: 68-70]
A sincere repentance is the one in which the following five conditions are met:
1- Sincerity to Allah Almighty by seeking with it the Countenance of Allah Almighty, His reward, and salvation from His punishment.
2- Regretting the sin one committed such that he feels sadness for committing it and wishes he had never done it.
3- Immediate abandonment of the sin. If it is a sin against Allah Almighty, one must leave it if it is something prohibited or rush to observe it if he abandoned something obligatory. On the other hand, if it is a sin against a human being,one must rush to rid himself of it either by restoring to that person his rights or asking him to forgive him and absolve him of them.
one must rush to rid himself of it either by restoring to that person his rights or asking him to forgive him and absolve him of them.
4- To strongly determine never to return to this sin in the future.
5- Repentance must be made before passing its deadline which is the sinner’s death or the rise of the sun from the west.Allah Almighty said: {But repentance is not accepted of those who continue to do evil deeds up until the death comes to one of them, he says, “Indeed, I have repented now.”} [Al-Nisؤپ’: 18]The Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Whoever repents before the sun rises from the west, Allah will accept his repentance.” [Muslim]
Allah Almighty said: {But repentance is not accepted of those who continue to do evil deeds up until the death comes to one of them, he says, “Indeed, I have repented now.”} [Al-Nisؤپ’: 18]
The Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Whoever repents before the sun rises from the west, Allah will accept his repentance.” [Muslim]
O Allah, guide us to sincere repentance and accept [our deeds] from us, for, indeed, You are All-Hearing All-Seeing.
