DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawmul Jumuat, 19th day of Swafar, 1446AH (Friday, 23rd August 2024).

TAU’BAH  (SEEKING FORGIVENESS) is our khutbah today be-izniLLAH. BismilLaah.

Alhamdulillah for granting us another blessed day of the week.  As believers, we must run away from sins as one runs away from a wild animal.  Even a minor sin makes a true believer restless as if a mountain is above his head and is about to fall on him and crush him.

Let's make a U-turn in life, wash off our slate of deeds, eliminate the bad deeds, and protect our good deeds. Method of making Tau’bah are as follows:

1. Immediately abstain from the sin. 

2. Regret and wish one had never indulged in the sin. 

3. Resolved to never commit the sin again seeking help from ALLAH. 

4. If one has violated the rights of another person, it is necessary to seek forgiveness from that person. 

After making sincere tau’bah be confident in the acceptance of your tau’bah. ALLAH (Subhanahu WaTaala) is all-Merciful and all forgiving. HE is always ready to accept the repentance of HIS sinful slaves.  ALLAH says in Suurah Al-e-Imran:

“And those who, when they have committed Faahishah or wronged themselves with evil, remember ALLAH and ask forgiveness for their sins  - and none can forgive sins but ALLAH. ALLAH says in the  Qur'an that we should not persist in what we have done, while they know.” [Al-Qur’an 3:135]  AlhamdulilLah. May ALLAH, forgive our sins and protect us from committing the sins. Aameen.
