00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:03.560
A verse and its Tafsir

00:00:03.560 --> 00:00:07.389
Allah the Exalted says

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)

00:00:12.390 --> 00:00:19.789
Repentance is the abandonment of sin in the most beautiful manner.

00:00:19.789 --> 00:00:22.789
For apology takes three forms:

00:00:22.789 --> 00:00:26.920
Either the one apologizing says, "I did not do it,"

00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:29.920
Or he says, "I did it for such-and-such a reason,"

00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:32.920
Or he says, "I did it and I acted wrongly,"

00:00:32.920 --> 00:00:34.920
"And I have erred."

00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:38.020
This last one is true repentance.

00:00:38.020 --> 00:00:40.020
Repentance in the Shari'ah

00:00:40.020 --> 00:00:42.020
Is the abandonment of sin due to its ugliness,

00:00:42.020 --> 00:00:45.020
Feeling remorse for what has occurred,

00:00:45.020 --> 00:00:48.020
And the firm resolve to never return to it.

00:00:48.020 --> 00:00:53.240
