00:00:00.460 --> 00:00:03.459
The Garden of Guidance.

00:00:03.459 --> 00:00:08.189
Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, says:

00:00:08.189 --> 00:00:15.189
“And I have said: Seek pardon of your Lord. Lo! He was ever Forgiving.” (71:10)

00:00:15.189 --> 00:00:21.190
"He will send [rain from] the sky upon you in showers,

00:00:21.190 --> 00:00:25.190
And provide you with wealth and children."

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)

00:00:32.189 --> 00:00:37.189
“What aileth you that ye hope not toward Allah for dignity” (71:13)

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),

00:00:41.670 --> 00:00:45.670
the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

00:00:45.670 --> 00:00:48.740
"Whoever persistently seeks forgiveness,

00:00:48.740 --> 00:00:52.740
Allah will grant him relief from every worry,

00:00:52.740 --> 00:00:55.740
a way out of every hardship,

00:00:55.740 --> 00:00:58.740
and will provide for him from where he does not expect."

00:00:58.740 --> 00:01:04.019
A benefit regarding the fruits of seeking forgiveness:

00:01:04.019 --> 00:01:07.019
It is an eraser of sins,

00:01:07.019 --> 00:01:09.019
a means for increasing provision,

00:01:09.019 --> 00:01:12.019
a means for being blessed with offspring,

00:01:12.019 --> 00:01:16.019
a cause for opening the heart and removing anxiety,

00:01:16.019 --> 00:01:20.299
and a safeguard against punishment and famine.

00:01:20.299 --> 00:01:24.299
How astonishing is an act of worship that encompasses all human aspirations,

00:01:24.299 --> 00:01:28.299
yet is abandoned by so many tongues!
