Af dilemek nasıl
The virtue of seeking forgiveness
“Say: ‘My slaves, those who have transgressed against yourselves, do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Truly Allah forgives all sins: He is truly the Most Forgiving, the Most Merciful.’” (39:53) The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Allah, Exalted is He, said: ‘Son of Ādam, as long as you call upon me and hope in Me, I will forgive you despite what you do, and I do not care. Son of Ādam, even if your sins were to reach to the clouds of the sky, then you seek forgiveness from Me, I will forgive you. Son of Ādam, even if you were to come to Me with nearly an earth full of sins, and then you meet me, not having associated anything with me, then I will surely bring you as much as the earth in forgiveness.’” (Hadīth Qudsī, Tirmidhī) Ibn Rajab (raḥimahullāh) outlined three essential means of attaining forgiveness in the above hadīth: Calling Allah with hope, knowing that only He forgives. Asking Him for forgiveness, despite the magnitude of one’s sins. Tawhīd; this is the greatest means of forgiveness. If even a speck of tawhīd was placed on a mountain of sins, it would turn them into good deeds. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “A believer will be brought close to his Lord on the Day of Judgement and He will place him within His Veil. Then, He will make him confess his sins by saying: ‘Do you recognise this?’ He will reply: ‘My Lord, I do.’ Then He will say: ‘Indeed I concealed them for you in the world, and I am indeed forgiving you for them today.’ Then the record of his good deeds will be given to him.” (Bukhārī) How to repent and seek forgiveness Realise the grave consequences of sinning The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Verily, when the slave commits a sin, a black dot appears on his heart. When he desists, seeks forgiveness and repents, his heart is polished clean. But if he sins again, it increases until it covers his heart. And that is the ‘rān’ (rust) which Allah mentioned: ‘No indeed! Rather what they have been doing has rusted their hearts (83:14).’” (Tirmidhī) Don’t belittle a sin The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Beware of sins which are deemed as insignificant because indeed they gather on a person until they destroy him.” (Ahmad) ‘Abdullah ibn Mas‘ūd (raḍiy Allāhu ‘anhu) said: ‘The believer regards his sin equivalent to a mountain, beneath which he is seated, and fears that it will collapse on him, whilst the sinner regards his sin to be equivalent to a fly which lands on his nose and he swats it away.’ Bilāl ibn Sa’īd (raḥimahullāh) said: ‘Don’t look at any sin as being insignificant. Rather, look at the greatness of the One you disobeyed.’ Stop sinning & resolve to never return to the sin Al-Fudhayl (raḥimahullāh) said: ‘Asking for forgiveness without abandoning sin is the repentance of liars.’ Regret your sins and cry over them The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Regret is repentance.” (Ibn Mājah) Ibn Rajab (raḥimahullāh) said: ‘People! Your hearts are essentially pure, but they have been stained with splashes of sins. So splash on them in turn the tears of your eyes and you will find your hearts purified.’ Ibn al-Qayyim (raḥimahullāh) said: ‘The pleasure one feels at sinning is more harmful than the sin itself. A believer never enjoys the fruit of his sins, but rather feels a remorseful ache within him. If this ceases to occur, and the joy of sinning overpowers any feeling of remorse, then that is a sign of a dead heart. To rectify this situation, one must do the following three things: Fear dying in such a state before having the chance to repent. Regret over what one missed out on by disobeying Allah. Work very hard to atone for the sin and to avoid it in the future.’ Perform wudhū and pray two rak‘ahs The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “When a servant commits a sin, and he performs wudhū well, and then stands and prays two rak‘ahs, and asks forgiveness from Allah, Allah forgives him.” (Abū Dāwūd) Follow the bad with good & atone for your sins Allah says: “Indeed good deeds erase bad deeds.” (11:114) If one has wronged another person, one should atone for the sin e.g. ask their forgiveness or supplicate for them. Seek forgiveness during the best time The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Our Lord – Glorified and Exalted is He – descends every night to the lowest heaven when one-third of the night remains and says: ‘Who will call upon Me, that I may answer Him? Who will ask of Me, that I may give him? Who will seek My forgiveness, that I may forgive him?’” (Bukhārī) Seek forgiveness in the best manner (See Sayyid al-Istighfār ……..) Make repentance your constant companion The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Whoever wants to be pleased with his scroll of deeds should increase in seeking forgiveness.” (Tabarānī) Ibn al-Qayyim (raḥimahullāh) said: ‘The state of tawbah is at the beginning, the middle and the end of the slave’s journey to his Creator. The servant who seeks the pleasure of Allah never abandons tawbah. He remains in the state of tawbah until his death.’ Allah says: “Indeed, Allah loves those who are constantly repentant and loves those who purify themselves.” (2:222) Seek forgiveness for others The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Whoever seeks forgiveness for every male and female believer, Allah will record a good deed for him for every male and female believer.” (Tabarānī) ***** Purify Yourself ‘In this world, the sinner can be purified in one of three rivers: A river of sincere repentance; A river of good deeds that drowns the sins; A river of calamities that wipe away his sins. If these do not suffice in purifying him, then he will be purified in the river of Hell-fire in the hereafter. Therefore, when Allah intends good for His slave, He enters him into one of these three rivers, so he comes purified and cleansed on the Day of Judgement, not requiring the fourth purification. So swim in the river of repentance and doing good deeds, and have patience in the river of calamities. And do not neglect these before a day comes when you will be drowned in the river of Hell-fire, whose fuel is men and stones.’ (Ibn al-Qayyim (raḥimahullāh))
