THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Ithlayn, 5th day of Rajab, 1440, (Monday, 11th March, 2019). THE POWER OF REPENTANCE. Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem. As Muslims our faith may become weak and we may be overwhelmed by our evil desires due to satanic influences. The Shaytaan may make sin attractive to us, so we wrong ourselves (commits sin) and falls into that which ALLAAH has forbidden. But let's always remember that ALLAAH is Kind to HIS servants, and HIS mercy encompasses all things. Whoever repents sincerely after doing wrong, ALLAH will accept his repentance, for ALLAH is Forgiving and Merciful.  ALLAH says; “But whosoever repents after his crime and does righteous good deeds (by obeying ALLAAH), then verily, ALLAAH will pardon him (accept his repentance). Verily, ALLAAH is Oft Forgiving, Most Merciful. Al-Maa’idah 5:39. ALLAH is Forgiving and Generous. HE commands all HIS servants to repent sincerely so that they may gain HIS MERCY and HIS Paradise. ALLAAH says; “O you who believe! Turn to ALLAH with sincere repentance! It may be that your Lord will expiate from you your sins, and admit you into Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise)” [al-Tahreem 66:8] Again ALLAH promises in the Quran: “Except the one who repents and believes and does good deeds, then ALLAH will replace the evil deeds of such people by good deeds, and ALLAH is Most Forgiving, Very-Merciful.” [Surah Al-Furqan, Ayat 70] Allahu Akbar. A true repentance will not only remove the bad deeds from your record, but will actually convert it into good deeds. Alhamdulillah. Let's avoid immitating or following the footsteps of the kuffar. Let's avoid going to beeches, let's avoid trying to please them in their religious innovations, edit your friends and ensure your good character is your daawah to them etc. The main ingredients for repentance is to sincerely regret your sins and by asking ALLAH to forgive you in your own language or better of say astaqfirulLah regularly and seriously without going back to the sins but even if you go back keep seeking forgiveness till you are able to forgo your sins. May ALLAH forgive our sins and protect us from going back to the sins. Aameen.
