The pairing of repentance with righteous deeds.
0:11
Allah’s mention of righteous deeds following repentance.
0:17
For the Almighty says:
0:19
“And whosoever repenteth and doeth good, he verily repenteth toward Allah with true repentance -” (25:71)
0:25
He, glory be to Him, confirmed the validity of such repentance by saying:
0:30
“And whosoever repenteth and doeth good, he verily repenteth toward Allah with true repentance -” (25:71)
0:33
For righteous deeds performed with or immediately following repentance
0:37
are a sign of the sincerity of the penitent,
0:40
and an indication that the repentance is worthy of acceptance.
0:43
This is because sin involves action and movement.
0:47
Whoever desists from it will find a void
0:51
caused by abandoning that action and movement.
0:54
If they fill that void with a counteracting righteous deed
0:57
and positive activity,
1:00
they occupy themselves with obedience.
1:02
Otherwise, the soul will yearn for the sin and transgression
1:06
due to the influence of this void felt after desisting from it.
