1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,399
God Almighty said

2
00:00:02,399 --> 00:00:25,399
Say, “It is only a human being like you. It is revealed to me that your God is one God, so be upright to Him and seek His forgiveness. And woe to the polytheists.”

3
00:00:25,399 --> 00:00:29,390
On the authority of Thawban, may God be pleased with him, he said

4
00:00:29,390 --> 00:00:33,390
The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said

5
00:00:33,390 --> 00:00:36,460
Be upright and you will not be counted

6
00:00:36,460 --> 00:00:39,460
That is, be upright in everything

7
00:00:39,460 --> 00:00:43,460
Do your best to be as upright as possible

8
00:00:43,460 --> 00:00:47,460
Even if you do not achieve complete integrity

9
00:00:47,460 --> 00:00:51,549
This is why seeking forgiveness comes to make up for the shortcomings

10
00:00:51,549 --> 00:00:54,579
Ibn al-Qayyim, may God have mercy on him, said

11
00:00:54,579 --> 00:00:57,579
Sins cause worry and distress

12
00:00:57,579 --> 00:00:59,579
Fear and chest tightness

13
00:00:59,579 --> 00:01:01,579
And heart disease

14
00:01:01,579 --> 00:01:06,810
There is no cure for it except in repentance and seeking forgiveness

15
00:01:06,810 --> 00:01:09,810
Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali, may God have mercy on him, said

16
00:01:09,810 --> 00:01:12,810
In the Almighty's saying

17
00:01:12,810 --> 00:01:15,810
So be upright to him and ask for his forgiveness

18
00:01:15,810 --> 00:01:20,810
An indication that there must be some mitigation in the required uprightness

19
00:01:20,810 --> 00:01:23,810
This is forced by seeking forgiveness

20
00:01:23,810 --> 00:01:27,810
What is required is repentance and a return to integrity
