00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:02.399
God Almighty said

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.”

00:00:25.399 --> 00:00:29.390
On the authority of Thawban, may God be pleased with him, he said

00:00:29.390 --> 00:00:33.390
The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said

00:00:33.390 --> 00:00:36.460
Be upright and you will not be counted

00:00:36.460 --> 00:00:39.460
That is, be upright in everything

00:00:39.460 --> 00:00:43.460
Do your best to be as upright as possible

00:00:43.460 --> 00:00:47.460
Even if you do not achieve complete integrity

00:00:47.460 --> 00:00:51.549
This is why seeking forgiveness comes to make up for the shortcomings

00:00:51.549 --> 00:00:54.579
Ibn al-Qayyim, may God have mercy on him, said

00:00:54.579 --> 00:00:57.579
Sins cause worry and distress

00:00:57.579 --> 00:00:59.579
Fear and chest tightness

00:00:59.579 --> 00:01:01.579
And heart disease

00:01:01.579 --> 00:01:06.810
There is no cure for it except in repentance and seeking forgiveness

00:01:06.810 --> 00:01:09.810
Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali, may God have mercy on him, said

00:01:09.810 --> 00:01:12.810
In the Almighty's saying

00:01:12.810 --> 00:01:15.810
So be upright to him and ask for his forgiveness

00:01:15.810 --> 00:01:20.810
An indication that there must be some mitigation in the required uprightness

00:01:20.810 --> 00:01:23.810
This is forced by seeking forgiveness

00:01:23.810 --> 00:01:27.810
What is required is repentance and a return to integrity
