0:01 The Garden of Guidance.
0:05 Allah, Mighty and Majestic is He, said:
0:08 “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)
0:16 “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)
0:22 "And Allah is All-Encompassing, All-Knowing."
0:26 On the authority of Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him),
0:30 from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), relating from his Lord,
0:35 that He said: "O son of Adam,
0:38 as long as you call upon Me and put your hope in Me,
0:41 I will forgive you for whatever you have done.
0:44 O son of Adam,
0:47 if you were to meet Me with sins nearly filling the earth,
0:51 I would meet you with an equal amount of forgiveness,
0:54 as long as you do not associate anything with Me.
0:58 O son of Adam,
1:00 if you were to commit sins until they reached the clouds of the sky,
1:05 and then ask My forgiveness,
1:07 I would forgive you, and I would not mind."
1:10 Narrated by al-Darimi.
1:12 A points of benefit:
1:15 How many sins must a person commit
1:17 for their transgressions to reach the very clouds of the sky?
1:21 And how many offenses must they commit
1:24 for their wrongdoings to equal the volume of the earth?
1:29 Yet despite all of that,
1:31 al-Ghaffar (The Oft-Forgiving), Glorified be He, forgives us and does not mind.
1:36 So seek forgiveness from Allah,
1:38 for even if your sins are vast and great in number,
1:40 He will forgive you.
