Repentance Towards Almighty Allah By Liyakat Shah
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Repentance means an act to feel sorry and pity for our bad work
which is being done in past or present by us. Allah Tabaraq Watala loves
repentance done by human beings and repentance of human beings is
accepted by Allah Rabbul Izzat probably that evil work is not repeated
again and again. If the so called action is repeated again and again by
person than it is not accepted it is like making fun of God. Hence forth
repentance should be done from heart and the moment we think any work
as bad than should have the same thinking and mentality all throughout
our life. Remember repentance should not be for fun but should have
whole heartedly repentance from all body parts and heart. Firm
repentance should be such that the moment we think doing any bad work
our heart should warn us that this act is bad and we have already
repented from it and should not think of doing it again. Allah loves
real repentance which is done from heart that too just for the cause of
Almighty Allah to seek His blessings and mercy. By repentance we can
come closer to Allah Rabbul Izzat. Repentance is an act that can forgive
all our past and present sins. No matter how big the sins and crimes
are, and if we seek forgiveness from heart towards Allah Rabbul Izzat
than Allah loves it and forgives us but the condition is that it should
not be repeated again and again. Repentance can be done at any time but
one should not waste his or her precious time in doing so. We should
repent as soon as possible and take no time to repent, and take in an
opportunity that Allah has kept such nice things and rewards for
repentance to seek His Mercy and Blessings. We humans are always
associated with minor to major sins in our life. Rather our whole life
is full of sins, cheat and fraud. We hurt people and insult so many of
them. We destroy people by treachery. We kill living beings for no
reasons. We are always surrounded by sins and crimes and doing any sin
is very easy work as it is provoked by devil who indulge us to do all
those things with fantasy which are not permitted by God. So we should
be very much cautious of such devils and their work and try to do good
deeds and repent to Allah and seek blessings of Allah
In Holy Quran Allah says that
Allah wants to make clear to you [the lawful from the unlawful] and guide you to the [good] practices of those before you and to accept your repentance. And Allah is Knowing and Wise.
[Quran Surah An-Nisa 4:26]
Abee Hamza Anas ibn Maalik al-Ansaaree ( RadiAllaho TalaAnho)
said that the Messenger of Allah (SallalhoAylehe Wasallam) said: Allah is more pleased with the repentance of His servant than one of you who falls off his camel and loses it in a barren desert land.
[Al-Bukhari vol8 #321]
The repentance accepted by Allah is only for those who do wrong in ignorance [or carelessness] and then repent soon after. It is those to whom Allah will turn in forgiveness, and Allah is ever Knowing and Wise. But repentance is not [accepted] of those who [continue to] do evil deeds up until, when death comes to one of them, he says, "Indeed, I have repented now," or of those who die while they are disbelievers. For them We have prepared a painful punishment. Qur'an - An-Nisa 4:17-18
Hadith - Bukhari 8.800B, Narrated Ikrima from Ibn Abbas
Allah's Apostle said, "When a slave (of Allah) commits illegal sexual intercourse, he is not a believer at the time of committing it; and if he steals, he is not a believer at the time of stealing; and if he drinks an alcoholic drink, when he is not a believer at the time of drinking it; and he is not a believer when he commits a murder." 'Ikrima said: I asked Ibn Abbas, "How is faith taken away from him?" He said, Like this," by clasping his hands and then separating them, and added, "But if he repents, faith returns to him like this," by clasping his hands again.

May Allah Subhanahu Wa ta'ala Have Mercy And Blessings upon whole Ummaah forgive all our minor and major sins and get a place in Jannatul Firdaus.
