Dr.Islam Elfahymoui Notes: Tawaba Contunied

Dr.Islam ElFahymoui Notes

 

 

Todays lecture was a continuation of the topic tawaba

 

He said:

 

 

The first time you try to make a sin, Allah will place a roadblock

 

Try and count your sins...you can never count all of them

Sunnah of the companions: right before going to sleep they would think of all of their sins and ask Allah for forgivness

 

The Mercy of Allah:

 

 

 

 

do not despair of the mercy of Allah . Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful."Surat Az Zumar 53

 

 

This aya tells us that Allah forgives any kind of sin (except shirk as mentioned in another aya) do not be of those who think Allah will not forgive you. Allah forgives all sins

 

Tawabah is a higher level then just saying astghfurAllah

 

Allah will go the extra mile for you if you make tawabah

 

People think oh I will make tawabh after I sin but the sin itself will make you forget about tawbah

 

Allah gives you the gift of tawbah

 

Give thanks to Allah for giving you the chance to make tawabah

 

I want you to remeber this beautiful concept:

The scholars said: One of Allahs names is Al Tawaab...The One Who grants repentance.  When you sit down and say oh Allah will never forgive me, I am bad there is no hope, the scholars said this means you dont believe in Allahs name Al Tawaab.

You should say: "Ya Tawaab, you love to grant tawabaah, you are Al Tawab.

 

 

Contemplate upon this hadith:

Imagine you are in the middle of a desert, no food no water nothing. What if I put you there with nothing you would die. There is a man walking in the desert and he has his camel who is well stocked with food and water. The man went to sleep and then when he woke up he did not find his camel, he started looking and looking and he did not find the camel. He felt so lost and he knew he was going to die. So he went to sleep and then when he woke up and the camel was right there, he was soooo joyful and thankful. Allah is more joyful with tawabah from His servants then the man in this story. Allah does not love anything more then for His servnat to return to Him and to make tawbaah.

 

If you are able to pray the night prayer it means you are close to Allah and your forgiveness tawbaah was accepted. Tawabaah is a huge gift from Allah...

 

Next week we will speak about the steps of tawabaah.
