A verse and its Tafsir

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:07,389
Allah the Exalted says

3
00:00:07,389 --> 00:00:12,390
“The Forgiver of sin, the Accepter of repentance, the Stern in punishment, the Bountiful. There is no Allah save Him. Unto Him is the journeying.” (40:3)

4
00:00:12,390 --> 00:00:19,789
Repentance is the abandonment of sin in the most beautiful manner.

5
00:00:19,789 --> 00:00:22,789
For apology takes three forms:

6
00:00:22,789 --> 00:00:26,920
Either the one apologizing says, "I did not do it,"

7
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,920
Or he says, "I did it for such-and-such a reason,"

8
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,920
Or he says, "I did it and I acted wrongly,"

9
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:34,920
"And I have erred."

10
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,020
This last one is true repentance.

11
00:00:38,020 --> 00:00:40,020
Repentance in the Shari'ah

12
00:00:40,020 --> 00:00:42,020
Is the abandonment of sin due to its ugliness,

13
00:00:42,020 --> 00:00:45,020
Feeling remorse for what has occurred,

14
00:00:45,020 --> 00:00:48,020
And the firm resolve to never return to it.

15
00:00:48,020 --> 00:00:53,240
