00:00:01.229 --> 00:00:05.700
The Garden of Guidance.

00:00:05.700 --> 00:00:08.740
Allah, Mighty and Majestic is He, said:

00:00:08.740 --> 00:00:16.739
“The devil promiseth you destitution and enjoineth on you lewdness. But Allah promiseth you forgiveness from Himself with bounty. Allah is All-Embracing, All-knowing.” (2:268)

00:00:16.739 --> 00:00:22.739
“The devil promiseth you destitution and enjoineth on you lewdness. But Allah promiseth you forgiveness from Himself with bounty. Allah is All-Embracing, All-knowing.” (2:268)

00:00:22.739 --> 00:00:26.739
"And Allah is All-Encompassing, All-Knowing."

00:00:26.739 --> 00:00:30.890
On the authority of Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him),

00:00:30.890 --> 00:00:35.890
from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), relating from his Lord,

00:00:35.890 --> 00:00:38.890
that He said: "O son of Adam,

00:00:38.890 --> 00:00:41.890
as long as you call upon Me and put your hope in Me,

00:00:41.890 --> 00:00:44.890
I will forgive you for whatever you have done.

00:00:44.890 --> 00:00:47.140
O son of Adam,

00:00:47.140 --> 00:00:51.140
if you were to meet Me with sins nearly filling the earth,

00:00:51.140 --> 00:00:54.140
I would meet you with an equal amount of forgiveness,

00:00:54.140 --> 00:00:58.340
as long as you do not associate anything with Me.

00:00:58.340 --> 00:01:00.340
O son of Adam,

00:01:00.340 --> 00:01:05.340
if you were to commit sins until they reached the clouds of the sky,

00:01:05.340 --> 00:01:07.340
and then ask My forgiveness,

00:01:07.340 --> 00:01:10.340
I would forgive you, and I would not mind."

00:01:10.340 --> 00:01:12.560
Narrated by al-Darimi.

00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:15.840
A points of benefit:

00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:17.840
How many sins must a person commit

00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:21.840
for their transgressions to reach the very clouds of the sky?

00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:24.840
And how many offenses must they commit

00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:29.159
for their wrongdoings to equal the volume of the earth?

00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:31.159
Yet despite all of that,

00:01:31.159 --> 00:01:36.260
al-Ghaffar (The Oft-Forgiving), Glorified be He, forgives us and does not mind.

00:01:36.260 --> 00:01:38.260
So seek forgiveness from Allah,

00:01:38.260 --> 00:01:40.260
for even if your sins are vast and great in number,

00:01:40.260 --> 00:01:42.260
He will forgive you.
