1
00:00:00,460 --> 00:00:03,459
The Garden of Guidance.

2
00:00:03,459 --> 00:00:08,189
Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, says:

3
00:00:08,189 --> 00:00:15,189
“And I have said: Seek pardon of your Lord. Lo! He was ever Forgiving.” (71:10)

4
00:00:15,189 --> 00:00:21,190
"He will send [rain from] the sky upon you in showers,

5
00:00:21,190 --> 00:00:25,190
And provide you with wealth and children."

6
00:00:25,190 --> 00:00:32,189
“And will help you with wealth and sons, and will assign unto you Gardens and will assign unto you rivers.” (71:12)

7
00:00:32,189 --> 00:00:37,189
“What aileth you that ye hope not toward Allah for dignity” (71:13)

8
00:00:37,189 --> 00:00:41,670
And on the authority of 'Abdullah Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him and his father),

9
00:00:41,670 --> 00:00:45,670
the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

10
00:00:45,670 --> 00:00:48,740
"Whoever persistently seeks forgiveness,

11
00:00:48,740 --> 00:00:52,740
Allah will grant him relief from every worry,

12
00:00:52,740 --> 00:00:55,740
a way out of every hardship,

13
00:00:55,740 --> 00:00:58,740
and will provide for him from where he does not expect."

14
00:00:58,740 --> 00:01:04,019
A benefit regarding the fruits of seeking forgiveness:

15
00:01:04,019 --> 00:01:07,019
It is an eraser of sins,

16
00:01:07,019 --> 00:01:09,019
a means for increasing provision,

17
00:01:09,019 --> 00:01:12,019
a means for being blessed with offspring,

18
00:01:12,019 --> 00:01:16,019
a cause for opening the heart and removing anxiety,

19
00:01:16,019 --> 00:01:20,299
and a safeguard against punishment and famine.

20
00:01:20,299 --> 00:01:24,299
How astonishing is an act of worship that encompasses all human aspirations,

21
00:01:24,299 --> 00:01:28,299
yet is abandoned by so many tongues!
