Repentance
Allaah (the Mighty and Glorious) said in the Qur'aan, “I (Nooh) said (to them), ‘Ask forgiveness from your Lord, verily, He is Oft-Forgiving. He will send rain to you in abundance, and give you increase in wealth and children, and bestow on you gardens and bestow on you rivers.’” (Nooh 71:10-12)
A Sin that Leads to Jannah!
Imaam Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allaah have mercy on him) said in his famous book Al-Waabil As-Sayyib Min Kalaam At-Tayyib: …So if Allaah intends goodness for His slave [after he has fallen into a sin], He opens up the doors of repentance for him and puts [in his heart] the feeling of need [for Allaah] and makes him dependant upon Allaah. Allaah grants him humbleness and brings him closer to Himself through enabling him to preform good deeds, and this one sin was the reason behind a [mountain] of good deeds, so much so that the enemy of Allaah [Iblees] will say,...

The Lost Camel
Allah (az) says in the Quran (57:16): “Has not the time arrived for the believers to humble their hearts to the Remembrance of Allah and what He has sent down from the truth…?” Once upon a time in Arabia a bedouin man set out on a journey through the desert. Before his departure he spent several days feeding food and water to his strong camel so that it could store necessary nutrition for the journey. He himself loaded his own provisions onto the camel and off he went. This camel had been with him since its birth and it had never...

10 Causes That Remove Punishment For A Sin
Shaykhul Islaam, Imaam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him), said,The punishment for a sin committed by a believer is removed in ten ways: 1. He repents to Allah (tawbah), so Allah accepts his repentance, for the one who repents from sin is like the one who has no sin. 2. He seeks forgiveness from Allah (istighfaar), so Allah forgives him. 3. He does good deeds that erase his sin for good deeds erase bad ones. 4. His believing brethren pray for him or seek forgiveness for his sins during his life or death. 5....

The Danger of Taking Sin Lightly
“O you who believe! Turn to Allaah with sincere repentance…” [al-Tahreem 66:8].Allaah has given us time to repent before the honourable scribes (kiraaman kaatibeen – recording angels) record our deeds.The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The (scribe) on the left hand raises his pen (i.e., delays writing) for six hours [this may refer to six hours of 60 minutes as measured by astronomers, or it may refer to short periods of time during the day or night – Lisaan al-Arab] before he records the sinful deed of a Muslim.

His Hands Are Stretched And The Angel Waits…
His Hands are stretched and the angel waits …for you to repent! Turn back to At-Tawwaab: the One who consistently accepts repentance AND doesn’t tire of accepting it AND accepts repentence each time His slave repents. Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam said: “Allah, the Exalted, will continue to stretch out His Hand in the night so that the sinners of the day may repent, and continue to stretch His Hand in the daytime so that the sinners of the night may repent, until the sun rises from the...

The Benefits Of Sincere Repentance
1. Repentance is the most noble and beloved form of obedience in the eyes of Allah Ta'ala. He loves those who repent and it is because of His love for His creation that He tests them with sins so that He may shower His blessings and favours upon them after they repent. 2. Repentance has a status that no other form of worship has. This is why Allah is extremely happy when a servant repents just as a traveller is happy when he finds his lost mount in the desert. This pleasure of Allah has a great impact on the heart of...

Repentance to Allah (at-Tawbah ila Allah)
True Tawbah is not only expressed in feelings from the heart and words on the lips, but also in the penitent individual's actions. He should be driven by his desire for absolution to correct whatever wrong he has done and make amends. Allâh ('azza wa Jall) promises to pardon those who sincerely repent, "When those who believe in Our Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) come to you, say: "Salâmun 'Alaikum" (peace be on you); your Lord has written Mercy for Himself, so that, if any of you does evil in ignorance, and thereafter repents and does righteous good...

The Doors of Repentance
Dear Muslims! Fear Allaah for, the fear of Allaah leads to prosperity, happiness and success. You should know that man’s glory is in complete humbleness and love for the Majestic Lord and that man’s disgrace lies in his arrogance and disobedience to Allaah.

To Him ascend (all) the goodly words i.e. and the righteous deeds exalt it (the goodly words i.e. the goodly words are not accepted by Allaah unless and...

Captivated Imprisoned And Fettered
Among its (the sins) effects is that the disobedient sinner is constantly in the shackles of his Shaytaan and the prison of his shahwa (desires) and the chains/ fetters of his hawaa (whims). So he is a captive, one who is imprisoned and who is tied up. There is no captive in a worse state than the one who is captivated by his worst enemy and there is no prison which is tighter than the prison of hawa (desire) and there is no bond/ fetter more strong than the bond of desire. How, then, will a heart which is...
