Know Allah’s Forgiveness

We are humans and are prone to sin, we are not perfect and make mistakes and sin daily, but by sincerely asking for Allah’s forgiveness makes us from those who Allah loves. This question of has Allah forgiven me for my sins, is a reflection of the state of your Imaan and is a positive sign.

Know Allah's Forgiveness

Know Allah’s Forgiveness

The Prophet ﷺ said, “If your good deeds make you happy and your bad deeds make you sad, then you are a believer.”

Ahmad

We learn from the Quran and Sunnah that the words repentance (astaghfirullah) and regret (tawbah) are two keywords that if followed and done properly can lead to Allah’s forgiveness. In Surah Hud, we learn that the Prophet Hud states by seeking forgiveness and repentance that Allah will be pleased with us

And (saying), “Seek forgiveness of your Lord and repent to Him, (and) He will let you enjoin a good provision…”

Quran 11:3

The marriage of the two is necessary, first ask for Allah’s forgiveness, sincerely, then make tawbah by pledging to Allah that you will not fall into this sin again. When asking for forgiveness you have to feel it meaning, that you are reforming, when you repent there needs to be sincere guilt. One of the 99 names of Allah is Al-Wadud, The Affectionate, He loves those that repent to Him, through repentance you become closer with Allah.

On the authority of Anas, who said, “I heard the Prophet ﷺ say, ‘Allah the Almighty said, ‘O son of Adam, so long as you call upon Me and ask for Me, I shall forgive you for what you have done, and I shall not mind. O son of Adam, were your sins to reach the clouds of the sky and were you then to ask forgiveness of Me, I would forgive you. O son of Adam, were you to come to Me with sins nearly as great as the Earth and were you then to face Me, ascribing no partner to Me, I would bring you forgiveness nearly as great as it’”

al-Tirmidhi 

Allah accepts our repentance even though He knows we may fall into that same sin again, but by seeking forgiveness sincerely, Allah will constantly forgive.

    Repentance washes away sins as if they had not occupied.
    Must trust and show sincerity in deeds that follow afterwards.

about keeping fast without eating sehri

 The Concern: Today I woke up after the time for suhoor (sehri) and wondering if I still have the obligation to keep my fast for Ramadan? How does not waking up affect my Niyyah for fasting? The instruction from the Qur’an is quite clear regarding fasting. In Surah Baqarah it says, يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ “O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous –” See: All Verses From Qur’an About Ramadan There is no mention in hadith or Qur’an which says, if one does not wake up for sehri they are exempt from fasting that day. If a Muslim does not eat suhoor, this is not a valid reason for being excused from fasting. There are only a few cases where one is excused from fasting and we discuss them here. Yes I know… I think we can all agree that missing the window for sehri will be a more challenging test. But it...

Surah Ad Duha Ayat 5 and Ayat 6

  Allah Almighty informs the Prophet (pbuh) that He will give him, and that will satisfy him. Allah Almighty emphasizes that there will be good in the future, no matter what hardships or obstacles are in the way, the end result will be positive and satisfying. Allah Almighty is the GIVER, and when HE gives, HE gives a lot. Allah Almighty says that HE will give HIS Messenger PBUH everything he desires, both in this life and the next. Ayah 6: Allah Almighty asks Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)that didn’t HE find him an orphan, and then gave him shelter and care? Allah Almighty is giving assurance to His beloved Messenger (pbuh) by reminding him that HE provided him with shelter and care when he was an orphan. Orphans have no one to look after them, except Allah, and indeed Allah SWT did provide for Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). Initially, Prophet (pbuh) was given in the loving care of his grandfather and after his death, his uncle Abu Talib took the responsibility of raising the Pr...
