0:00Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and
0:03blessings.
0:07All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the
0:09worlds, and we seek His help in the
0:10affairs of this world and the hereafter
0:11.
0:13May peace and blessings be upon the
0:14noblest of prophets and messengers, our
0:16Prophet Muhammad, and upon all his
0:17family and companions. To proceed.
0:22O Allah, benefit us with what You have
0:23taught us, teach us what benefits us,
0:25and increase us in beneficial knowledge
0:26, O Lord of the worlds.
0:30O Allah, grant our souls their piety and
0:32purify them, for You are the Best to
0:34purify them; You are their Protector and
0:36Guardian.
0:37Expand our chests, ease our affairs, and
0:39untie the knot from our tongues so that
0:41they may understand our speech.
0:44O Allah, benefit us with what You have
0:46taught us, teach us what benefits us,
0:47and increase us in beneficial knowledge
0:49, O Lord of the worlds. O Allah, we seek
0:52refuge in You from knowledge that does
0:53not benefit, from a heart that does not
0:55fear, from a soul that is never
0:56satisfied, and from a supplication that
0:58is not answered.
1:00Respected congregants of the Maghrib
1:01prayer at Nurul Iman Mosque, whom I hope
1:03Allah the Almighty honors. Praise be to
1:05Allah. First of all, let us offer our
1:08praises and gratitude to Allah the
1:11Almighty for all the blessings and grace
1:14that He has bestowed upon us all.
1:17Be it the blessing of faith, the
1:19blessing of Islam, the blessing of
1:21health, or countless other blessings.
1:23Especially the blessing we are currently
1:26experiencing together, the blessing of
1:29being given guidance and success by
1:32Allah the Almighty, allowing us to step
1:35into one of the houses of Allah to
1:38perform a very noble act of worship,
1:40which is the congregational Maghrib
1:43prayer.
1:44Then we continue with the next equally
1:46noble act of worship, which is seeking
1:48religious knowledge.
1:50We pray to Allah the Almighty that our
1:52sitting in this noble place becomes a
1:54cause for us to gain beneficial
1:55knowledge.
1:57May it be a cause for us to receive
1:59blessings and guidance from Allah the
2:02Almighty, and also a cause for Him to
2:04make our path easier to enter His
2:06paradise.
2:08As the Prophet, may peace and blessings
2:10be upon him, said: "Whoever follows a
2:12path..."
2:15"...Allah will make his path to Paradise
2:17easy." Whoever takes a path for the sake
2:20of seeking religious knowledge, then
2:22Allah the Almighty will surely make
2:24their path easy. To enter into paradise
2:27. Why is that so?
2:30Because when we learn, when we come to a
2:32knowledge assembly, we will increasingly
2:34know the paths of goodness so that we
2:36may perform them.
2:40And also when we seek knowledge, we will
2:42increasingly know about the paths of
2:44evil so that we may abandon them.
2:46Because without learning, it could be
2:48that goodness is considered evil and
2:51evil is considered goodness.
2:54Ultimately, instead of wanting to enter
2:55paradise, we might—may Allah protect us
2:57—fall into the pit of hellfire.
3:00As a result of what? As a result of not
3:02seeking religious knowledge.
3:04That is why Imam Al-Bukhari mentioned a
3:06special chapter in his book, the chapter
3:07on "Knowledge Before Speech and Action.
3:09"
3:11A chapter stating that we must have
3:13knowledge before we speak or before we
3:16act.
3:17Therefore, praise be to Allah, attendees
3:19whom I hope Allah the Almighty honors,
3:20tonight we are able to gather together
3:22in this assembly. We pray to Allah that
3:25through it, we may obtain beneficial
3:27knowledge.
3:29Then, let us send prayers and greetings
3:31upon our leader, our role model, our
3:33noble Prophet, the Great Prophet
3:34Muhammad, may peace and blessings be
3:36upon him.
3:39And also to his family, his companions,
3:41and his followers until the end of time
3:43.
3:45Honorable congregation, may Allah
3:46Subhanahu wa ta'ala honor you.
3:49Tonight, God willing, we will discuss a
3:51very noble theme, which is the theme of
3:53seeking forgiveness, or istighfar.
3:57When we face many problems, we should
4:00seek forgiveness from Allah Subhanahu wa
4:02ta'ala.
4:04Congregation, may Allah Subhanahu wa
4:06ta'ala honor you.
4:08Truly, among the acts of worship that
4:10are very noble, yet light for us to
4:12perform.
4:13But with a reward so great in the sight
4:16of Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala, is to keep
4:18our tongues moist with the remembrance
4:20of Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala. A very
4:22easy, very simple act of worship, but it
4:24turns out the reward is truly
4:26extraordinary in the sight of Allah
4:28Subhanahu wa ta'ala. It requires no
4:29effort. Just moving our lips. Yet with
4:32it, Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala gives us a
4:35very great reward.
4:37However, unfortunately, many of us
4:39underestimate this act of worship.
4:43This dhikr worship is often
4:45underestimated, often neglected.
4:49Even though it is easy, it turns out to
4:51be abandoned by most people.
4:54Whereas in the Quran, Allah Subhanahu wa
4:56ta'ala has commanded us to frequently
4:59remember Allah.
5:01Among them is in the Quran, in Surah
5:03Al-Ahzab, verse 41.
5:07Where Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala says, "
5:10Ya ayyuhalladzina amanu, O you who have
5:12believed, remember Allah with much
5:15remembrance and exalt Him morning and
5:17afternoon."
5:20"O you who have believed, remember Allah
5:22with much remembrance and exalt Him
5:25morning and afternoon."
5:27Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala commands us to
5:31perform much dhikr.
5:35Likewise, in a hadith, the Prophet
5:36sallallahu alaihi wasallam once advised
5:38, "La yazalu lisanuka ratban min
5:40zikrillah."
5:42Our tongues should always be moist with
5:44the remembrance of Allah Subhanahu wa
5:46ta'ala.
5:47Why is that?
5:49Because by remembering Him, we will find
5:51peace in our hearts.
5:54Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala has said in
5:57the Quran, in Surah Ar-Ra'd, verse 28.
6:02Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala says, "Ala
6:03bidzikrillahi tatmainnul qulub."
6:06Know that by remembering Allah, our
6:08hearts will be at peace, our hearts will
6:10be happy, our hearts will be joyful.
6:14How do we do it? By performing dhikr to
6:16Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala.
6:17That is why our scholars explain that
6:20there are three pillars of happiness.
6:23If you want to be happy, practice these
6:25three things.
6:27They call them muqawimatus sa'adah. The
6:29keys to happiness are three. The first
6:32is qolbun syakir.
6:34Possessing a heart that is grateful.
6:39Whatever blessing, no matter how small,
6:41we should be grateful for it. Because by
6:43being grateful to Allah for the
6:45blessings He gives, at the very least,
6:47those blessings will remain with us.
6:51Even more than that, Allah Subhanahu wa
6:53ta'ala will add to those blessings for
6:55us.
6:55Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala says, "La'in
6:57syakartum la azidannakum." If you are
7:00grateful, I will surely add more, says
7:02Allah. Conversely, wa in kafartum. But
7:04if you are not grateful, then My
7:05punishment is severe. Know that My
7:07punishment is truly most painful. There
7:09is a threat if one is not grateful to
7:11Allah. This is the first. Qalbun syakir
7:14.
7:15Possessing a heart that is skilled at
7:16being grateful. Then the second,
7:18muqawwimatussaadah.
7:20For us to be happy, it is wajismun
7:22shabir and having a body.
7:25that is skilled at being patient.
7:28In life, there are bound to be
7:29unpleasant things.
7:31Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala has guaranteed
7:33that while we live, we will surely be
7:35tested by Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala.
7:38So, when receiving trials, we should be
7:41patient.
7:43Because complaining is useless and only
7:45makes us more miserable.
7:46It is better that we are patient.
7:48Then take the steps that we can take
7:50moving forward.
7:52Then the third, according to the
7:54scholars, among the pillars of happiness
7:57is walisanun dzakir.
7:59And a tongue that constantly remembers
8:02Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala. So, the more
8:04we perform dhikr, the calmer our hearts
8:06are, the happier our hearts are.
8:09Conversely, when we are far from the
8:11remembrance of Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala
8:13, Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala has stated
8:15in the Quran, Surah Taha 124.
8:18Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala says,
8:23ma'ishan dhanka.
8:26Whoever is far from My remembrance, who
8:28is far from dhikr to Me, what does Allah
8:30say?
8:34Then for him is a constricted life, a
8:37narrow life.
8:39Abdullah bin Abbas said, "Whoever is far
8:41from the remembrance of Allah, their
8:43life will be miserable."
8:45Subhanallah.
8:48Imam Ibn Kathir rahimahullahu ta'ala
8:50says,
8:55"His life is miserable while in this
8:56world." Then he says,
9:05he will never feel peace in his heart.
9:09He will never feel expansion within his
9:11heart.
9:12His heart is always empty, his heart is
9:14always narrow.
9:16Because he is far from the remembrance
9:18of Allah. Then he says,
9:28even if it appears he has much wealth,
9:31even if it appears he has many pleasures
9:33, to the point he says even if he can
9:35eat whatever he wants.
9:39What do you want to eat now?
9:41You can eat satay.
9:44What else to eat?
9:46Meatballs, you can eat that, what else?
9:52Nasi Padang is possible.
9:54The most delicious Nasi Padang he can
9:55have.
9:57But if he is far from the remembrance of
9:59Allah, even if he can do those things,
10:01his heart is empty, far from Allah
10:03Subhanahu wa ta'ala.
10:05And we know that happiness is inside our
10:07hearts.
10:08Then he says, "Wa shariba wa labisa."
10:11Even if he can wear whatever clothing he
10:14wants.
10:15Wa sakana haitsu syaa.
10:18And even if he can live wherever he
10:20wants, if he is far from remembering
10:23Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala, he is
10:24miserable.
10:26Na'udzubillah min dzalik. Na'udzubillah
10:29.
10:30Therefore, attendees whom may Allah
10:32Subhanahu wa ta'ala honor, let us
10:33increase our remembrance of Allah
10:35Subhanahu wa ta'ala.
10:37Because by doing dhikr, dhikr is our
10:40necessity.
10:41Our scholars explain that dhikr, besides
10:44being for our own happiness, it turns
10:47out that dhikr is our primary need.
10:51We are in great need of the dhikr that
10:53we often consider trivial. Even though
10:55it is actually very extraordinary in our
10:57lives. The scholars explain that dhikr (
10:59remembrance of Allah) is among the
11:00primary needs of a servant.
11:03Our primary needs are not just about
11:06food, drink, clothing, and shelter.
11:10It is not only about our basic
11:12necessities.
11:15But a Muslim's primary need is also to
11:17remember Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala.
11:21Because in a hadith narrated by Imam
11:22Al-Bukhari and Imam Muslim, the Prophet
11:25sallallahu alaihi wasallam once said, "
11:27The likeness of the one who remembers
11:29his Lord and the one who does not is
11:30like the living and the dead."
11:34What is the parable of the person who
11:36remembers Allah versus the one who does
11:38not?
11:39It is like the living compared to the
11:42dead.
11:44So, if someone doesn't remember Allah,
11:46doesn't pray, and never maintains their
11:48morning and evening dhikr, even if they
11:49are alive, their heart is dead, their
11:51heart is empty.
11:53Subhanallah.
11:55Sheikh al-Islam said that the parable of
11:59dhikr for our hearts is like the parable
12:02of water for a fish. Do you think a fish
12:05can live without water? It cannot.
12:09So, brothers and sisters, may Allah
12:11honor you, this shows that we are in
12:13great need of dhikr to Allah Subhanahu
12:15wa Ta'ala.
12:18And among the dhikr we truly need in our
12:19lives is to increase our seeking of
12:21forgiveness (istighfar) from Allah
12:23Subhanahu wa Ta'ala.
12:25That is why scholars, including Imam Ibn
12:27al-Qayyim, explained specifically that
12:30there are three keys to happiness.
12:33First, to be grateful when receiving
12:36blessings, and to be patient when tested
12:39.
12:40Then the third one, he explained in
12:43detail: and to seek forgiveness.
12:48And if one falls into sin, they seek
12:50forgiveness from Allah Subhanahu wa
12:52Ta'ala. It is not just limited to dhikr
12:54, but he narrowed down the type of dhikr
12:56.
12:57What is the dhikr? We should increase
12:59our seeking of forgiveness from Allah
13:00Subhanahu wa Ta'ala. Astagfirullah,
13:03astagfirullah. Astagfirullah.
13:06And this is the deed that we really need
13:09in our current conditions, or even in
13:11every situation.
13:13Not only during economic difficulties,
13:15but in every condition, we need to seek
13:17forgiveness from Allah Subhanahu wa
13:19Ta'ala. Whether we are in times of ease
13:22or times of hardship.
13:24Because the Prophet sallallahu alaihi
13:26wasallam said, "Recognize Allah in times
13:28of ease, and He will recognize you in
13:29times of hardship." Know Allah when you
13:31are in times of ease, in good times.
13:34Surely Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala will
13:36recognize us and help us when we are in
13:38distress.
13:41In another hadith, the Prophet
13:43sallallahu alaihi wasallam said,
13:51whoever wants Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala
13:53to answer their prayers when they are in
13:56difficulty, then they should pray much
13:58to Allah when Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala
14:01gives them ease.
14:03Sometimes it's like that, isn't it?
14:05Our predecessors once said, sometimes
14:07there are people who, when tested with
14:10adversity, can be patient and pass the
14:12test.
14:15When tested with poverty, they come to
14:17the mosque, they pray to Allah with
14:19khushu '(humility), and can maintain
14:21their prayers.
14:23But when Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala eases
14:25their sustenance, they never step foot
14:26in the mosque; they don't pass.
14:29There are people like that, right?
14:32So, whoever can maintain their knowledge
14:34of Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala when they
14:37are given ease, when their condition is
14:39comfortable, then surely Allah Subhanahu
14:41wa ta'ala will help them when they are
14:43in distress.
14:46Brothers and sisters, may Allah
14:47Subhanahu wa ta'ala honor you. When we
14:50live in this world, we will certainly
14:52encounter what is called a test.
14:55Certainly, whoever they are, even
14:57righteous people will definitely be
14:59tested by Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala.
15:01Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala has stated in
15:04the Quran in Surah Al-Mulk, verse two.
15:07Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala says, "
15:09Alladzi khalaqal mauta wal-hayata
15:11liyabluakum ayyukum ahsanu amala."
15:14It is He, Allah, who created life and
15:17death. For what purpose? To test us.
15:21"Liabluakum," to test you all. "Ayyukum
15:23ahsanu amala." Who among us has the best
15:26deeds? And the best deeds are those that
15:28are in accordance with guidance and are
15:30also sincere for the sake of Allah
15:32Subhanahu wa ta'ala. So, Allah Subhanahu
15:34wa ta'ala explains in this verse that
15:36the purpose of our creation is what?
15:38To be tested by Allah Subhanahu wa
15:40ta'ala.
15:41In another verse, Allah Subhanahu wa
15:43ta'ala says, "Wanabluukum bisharri
15:44wal-khairi fitnah."
15:47We will surely test you with both evil
15:49and good as a trial.
15:53So never think, never assume that when
15:55we believe in Allah, when we are
15:56righteous, when we are good, we will not
15:59be tested by Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala.
16:01No. We will definitely still encounter
16:03what is called a test. There will surely
16:06be conditions that might be difficult
16:08for us.
16:09Sometimes Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala
16:11tests our health.
16:13Sometimes Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala
16:16tests our finances, sometimes Allah
16:19Subhanahu wa ta'ala tests our family,
16:21and many other tests.
16:24So when such things come, we need deeds
16:27that can calm our hearts.
16:29Because the heart is the pivot of
16:32everything.
16:34The Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
16:36explained that, "Ala inna fil jasadi
16:38mudghatan idza shaluhat shaluhal jasadu
16:40kulluh."
16:42Know that indeed in our bodies there is
16:44a lump of flesh which, if it is good,
16:46then God willing, everything will be
16:48good.
16:51And if this lump of flesh is corrupted,
16:53everything will be corrupted.
16:56And what did the Prophet say? "Ala wa
16:57hiyal qalbu."
16:59That lump of flesh is our heart.
17:02So, no matter how heavy the test that
17:04befalls us, if our heart is good, God
17:06willing, it will be easy for us to get
17:07through. God willing, we will be able to
17:09remain strong. Look at our Prophet.
17:11Sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
17:14We know that the Prophet sallallahu
17:15alaihi wasallam was the person with the
17:17most faith in Allah, whose quality of
17:19faith was very high, far above ours;
17:21this is clearly agreed upon by consensus
17:23.
17:25But was the Prophet sallallahu alaihi
17:27wasallam tested? Clearly.
17:28Even the Prophet sallallahu alaihi
17:30wasallam said, "Asaddu-nasi bala'an
17:31al-anbiya'u."
17:34"Thummal-amthalu fal-amthal."
17:37The people with the heaviest tests are
17:39the prophets, not us.
17:42But sometimes we feel our test is the
17:44heaviest. What is the reason?
17:47Mental health, heart health.
17:50Just get a small test and feel
17:51discouraged.
17:55Then the righteous, then the pious
17:57people and those who came after them,
18:00like them, like them.
18:02The trials of the Prophet, peace and
18:03blessings of Allah be upon him. We see
18:04that the Prophet, peace and blessings of
18:06Allah be upon him, was once choked with
18:07an extremely tight chokehold while
18:09prostrating before the Kaaba.
18:11Truly choked, not just like being choked
18:13by our children.
18:14Have we ever experienced that? Praying
18:17and being choked until Abu Bakr
18:19As-Siddiq intervened and released him
18:21from the hold. Then Abu Bakr said, "
18:24Ataqtuluna rajulan yaqul rabbi Allah."
18:27"Are you killing a man who says' My Lord
18:30is Allah '?"
18:33It was incredible how forceful the
18:34choking of the Prophet, peace and
18:35blessings of Allah be upon him, was.
18:38The Prophet, peace and blessings of
18:40Allah be upon him, was also once
18:41prostrating before the Kaaba,
18:44when camel dung was placed upon his back
18:48.
18:49Subhanallah.
18:52It was so heavy that the Prophet, peace
18:53and blessings of Allah be upon him,
18:55could not rise. Finally, it was reported
18:57to his daughter, Fatimah. Fatimah came
19:00and cleaned it off. Only then could the
19:02Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be
19:03upon him, rise.
19:05In the 10th year of his prophethood, the
19:07Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be
19:10upon him, was left by the two people he
19:12loved dearly: Khadijah and his uncle Abu
19:15Talib. This became known as the year of
19:17sorrow, *' Am al-Huzn*. The year of
19:18sadness; the Prophet, peace and
19:20blessings of Allah be upon him, was
19:21truly grieving at that time.
19:23After they were gone, the Quraysh
19:24infidels became even more daring in
19:26attacking the Prophet, peace and
19:27blessings of Allah be upon him. Finally
19:29, what did the Prophet do? The Prophet,
19:31peace and blessings of Allah be upon him
19:32, migrated to Taif. What was the purpose
19:34? Hoping that his message would be
19:36accepted there.
19:37He arrived in Taif.
19:39What happened? Instead of being accepted
19:42, instead of being welcomed and shown
19:44pity, he was actually pelted with stones
19:46.
19:47Allahu Akbar.
19:48Who are we compared to the Prophet,
19:49peace and blessings of Allah be upon him
19:51? But look, the Prophet, peace and
19:52blessings of Allah be upon him, remained
19:53steadfast.
19:54What made him steadfast? He engaged in
19:56much remembrance (*dhikr*) of Allah. He
19:58was close to Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala.
20:01His heart was pure, so whatever happened
20:03, he remained steadfast in facing all
20:05the trials that befell him.
20:08Therefore, attendees, may Allah
20:09Subhanahu wa ta'ala honor you, once
20:11again, heart health is very important,
20:13and among the ways for our hearts to be
20:15healthy is to increase our remembrance
20:16of Allah, especially by frequently
20:18seeking forgiveness from Allah Subhanahu
20:20wa ta'ala.
20:22What is*istighfar*?
20:24*Istighfar*is taken from the Arabic
20:26language. It is derived from the word*
20:29istaghfara-yastaghfiru-istighfaran*.
20:31When a word begins with the letters*
20:34alif*, *sin*, and*ta*, the meaning is*
20:37talab*, a request.
20:39So, *istighfar*means*talabul ghafr*, *
20:42talabul maghfirah*, seeking forgiveness
20:45, seeking*ghafr*.
20:48What is*ghafr*?
20:50*Mighfar*is taken from—it means a helmet
20:54made of iron.
20:57This is what is meant by*mighfar*. *
20:59Mighfar*is a helmet made of iron.
21:03And this helmet has two functions.
21:07The first function is*as-satru*, to
21:09cover.
21:11Then the second is*al-wiqayah*, to
21:15protect.
21:18So when we seek forgiveness from Allah
21:21Subhanahu wa ta'ala, it means we are
21:23asking Allah to cover our faults, cover
21:25our sins, and for Allah Subhanahu wa
21:27ta'ala to protect us from the dangers
21:29and effects of the sins we have
21:31committed.
21:34This is what is meant by Istigfar.
21:36It is derived from the word "al-migfar.
21:38""Migfar" is a head covering.
21:41But it has two functions: to cover and
21:43to protect. So, can a skullcap (peci) be
21:45called a "migfar" or not?
21:47It cannot. Because its function is only
21:49what?
21:50Only to cover, not to protect. If a rock
21:53hits it, you'll still get a bump. Yes,
21:54like that.
21:56Whereas a "migfar" is an iron helmet
21:59intended to cover and also to protect
22:01the head from danger.
22:03So, attendees, may Allah Subhanahu wa
22:05ta'ala honor you.
22:07When we seek forgiveness from Allah,
22:09saying "astaghfirullah, astaghfirullah,
22:12astaghfirullah" or saying "
22:14Allahummaghfirli" and so on, it means we
22:17are begging Allah to cover our sins.
22:22Because if our sins were exposed, our
22:24reputation would be destroyed.
22:27There was once a Tabi'in, he said, "
22:30This Tabi'in was named Muhammad bin Wasi
22:32'."
22:33He said, "If sins had an odor, no one
22:36would want to get close to me."
22:40"If sins had an odor, no one would want
22:43to sit with me."
22:46Alhamdulillah. It turns out Allah
22:48Subhanahu wa ta'ala, Allah is most kind
22:50.
22:50Among the names of Allah is "As-Sittir.
22:52"
22:53Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala is the Great
22:55Coverer of sins.
22:57Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala covers our
23:00sins.
23:01Even though our sins are many, they are
23:04not known by others.
23:06That is why the Prophet sallallahu
23:08alaihi wasallam said, "Kullu ummati
23:09mu'afan, all of my ummah will be
23:11forgiven by Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala
23:13except for the mujahirin."
23:15"Except for those who expose their sins
23:18."
23:19Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala has already
23:20hidden, Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala has
23:22already kept their sins secret.
23:24Yet, in the morning, they actually brag
23:26about those sins. "Do you know what I
23:28did last night?"
23:29"I just did something like this, you
23:31know.""Hey, do you know?""Three years
23:34ago, I did something like..."
23:39"...like this."
23:42Such sins will not be forgiven by Allah
23:44Subhanahu wa ta'ala. Because our
23:46scholars have explained that repentance
23:48has conditions.
23:50In order for our repentance to be
23:51accepted by Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala,
23:53we must fulfill those conditions of
23:55repentance. The first condition is that
23:58we must
24:01abandon that sin.
24:04If it turns out we claim to repent but
24:06still commit the sin, that is called "
24:08tobat sambal"(insincere repentance), not
24:10"taubatan nasuha"(sincere repentance).
24:13Yes.
24:15Then the second, it must be "annadam,"
24:18we must regret the sinful act, not brag
24:21about it.
24:23The Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
24:25said, "An-nadamu taubatun."
24:27Regret is a form of repentance.
24:29Then the third, "al-azmu ala alla ya'ud
24:33," He is determined not to return to
24:36committing those sins again.
24:40Next, if the sin involves the rights of
24:43another human being or any living
24:44creature, then one must seek forgiveness
24:47and return those rights to the rightful
24:49party.
24:51Then, the final condition is that the
24:53repentance must be performed before the
24:56door of repentance is closed. And when
24:58is the door of repentance closed?
25:01Generally, the door of repentance
25:03remains open until the Day of Judgment.
25:06Specifically for each individual, the
25:08door of repentance is open until death
25:11comes to claim them.
25:15The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "
25:17A servant's repentance will be accepted
25:19by Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) as long
25:21as their soul has not reached their
25:23throat."
25:26So, if we commit a sin and then repent
25:29to Allah, and we fulfill those
25:31conditions of repentance, God willing,
25:34Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) will forgive
25:37our sins.
25:38The Prophet (peace be upon him) said,
25:44"The one who repents from a sin is like
25:47one who has no sin at all."
25:49My dear audience, may Allah (subhanahu
25:51wa ta'ala) honor you. Next, among the
25:54functions of asking for forgiveness (
25:56istighfar) is that it protects us from
25:58the negative consequences of the sins we
25:59have committed.
26:01Do sins have consequences or not? They
26:04certainly have consequences.
26:07Whether they impact us personally, our
26:11families, or those around us.
26:15There is definitely an impact.
26:17In fact, Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) has
26:19stated in the Quran in Surah Ash-Shura,
26:21verse 30.
26:23Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) says, "
26:25Whatever misfortune befalls you, it is
26:27because of what your hands have earned.
26:29"
26:33Any calamity that befalls us is nothing
26:36but a result of our sins.
26:42Even though Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala)
26:44has forgiven many of the sins we have
26:46committed.
26:48So, in this verse, Allah (subhanahu wa
26:51ta'ala) explains that all calamities are
26:54a result of our sins.
26:56However, when it comes to others, we
26:58should not immediately assume when they
27:01are struck by a calamity that they have
27:04committed many sins.
27:07Do not.
27:08What is our duty? Our duty is to pray to
27:11Allah.
27:12"Alhamdulillahilladzii' aafaanii
27:14mimmaabtalaka bihi, wa fadhdhalanii '
27:16alaa kathiirin mimman khalaqa tafdhiila
27:18."
27:19Praise be to Allah.
27:21All praise is for Allah (subhanahu wa
27:23ta'ala) who has spared me from the
27:25calamity that has befallen them and has
27:28bestowed upon me many great favors.
27:32Yes. So, do not judge people who are hit
27:34by calamity by saying, "You must have
27:35many sins."
27:36Do not. Subhanallah, yes.
27:40Because it could be that those
27:42calamities were not afflicted upon them
27:44by Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) due to
27:46sin.
27:48It could be to wipe away their sins.
27:51It could also be to elevate their status
27:53in the sight of Allah (subhanahu wa
27:55ta'ala).
27:57Because in a Hadith, the Prophet (peace
28:00be upon him) explains that if a servant
28:02has a very high rank in the sight of
28:05Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala), but their
28:07deeds are not enough to lift them to
28:10that level, what will Allah (subhanahu
28:12wa ta'ala) do?
28:16Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) will afflict
28:18them with various calamities and various
28:20tests until they can rise to that level
28:23.
28:25So, always maintain a positive opinion
28:27of Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala.
28:31And among the impacts of sin and
28:33disobedience, may Allah Subhanahu wa
28:35ta'ala honor you, one of the impacts is
28:37that our hearts become dirty because of
28:40sin.
28:42The Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
28:44explained that if a servant commits a
28:46sin or an act of disobedience, a black
28:48spot will be recorded on his heart.
28:51If he asks for forgiveness, if he
28:53repents to Allah, that black spot will
28:55be cleaned.
28:57But if he does not regret it, does not
28:58repent to Allah, and does not want to
29:00ask Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala for
29:01forgiveness, then that black spot
29:03continues to be recorded in his heart.
29:06Until finally, those black spots cover
29:08his entire heart.
29:11When it turns out that his heart is
29:13already filled with these black spots,
29:14then what happens?
29:16He cannot distinguish between what is
29:18good and what is bad.
29:20He cannot distinguish between what is
29:22right and what is wrong.
29:24May Allah protect us from that. May
29:26Allah protect us.
29:27Then, among the impacts of committing
29:30sins and disobedience is that sin is a
29:33cause of our sustenance becoming tight.
29:38When we find that our sustenance is
29:40tight or dry, then let us try to
29:43evaluate ourselves. Perhaps there are
29:46sins that we have been committing.
29:48Because the Prophet sallallahu alaihi
29:49wasallam has said in a hadith narrated
29:51by Imam Ahmad. Inna al-abda...
29:58Verily, a servant is withheld from his
30:00sustenance because of sins he has
30:03committed.
30:08Then, may Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala
30:10honor you, among the impacts of
30:11committing sins and disobedience is that
30:13sin makes it difficult for us to learn,
30:15difficult to gain knowledge.
30:19Just as was once experienced by Al-Imam
30:21Ash-Shafi'i rahimahullahu ta'ala. He
30:24said:
30:28"Shakaotu..."
30:31"...ila Waqi'in su-a hifzi, fa-arsarani
30:32ila tarkil-ma'ashi."
30:34Imam Shafi'i said, "I once complained to
30:36my teacher, whose name was Imam Waki'."
30:40"Why is my memorization suddenly poor?"
30:44"So his teacher, Imam Waki ', said,"
30:49He advised me to abandon sins.
30:54"Because indeed, knowledge is a light
30:56from Allah, and the light of Allah will
30:58not be given to those who commit acts of
31:01disobedience."
31:04Imam Ash-Shafi'i felt that his
31:06memorization was suddenly difficult,
31:08poor, and bad.
31:10What was wrong? He asked his teacher,
31:12Imam Waki'. Why is it?
31:14Imam Waki 'said, do not sin.
31:17Because knowledge is a light from Allah
31:18, and Allah does not give it to a sinner
31:20.
31:21Even though it is narrated that Al-Imam
31:24Ash-Shafi'i, when he memorized the
31:26Qur'an or memorized knowledge, if he was
31:29memorizing the left page, he would cover
31:31the right page.
31:33Why?
31:35Because once read, it was immediately
31:37memorized.
31:40That was Al-Imam Ash-Shafi'i. If he read
31:41this page, the other page would be
31:43covered.
31:44Reading a page to memorize it, the other
31:46page was covered. That is Al-Imam
31:49Ash-Shafi'i. Once read, it was memorized
31:51.
31:53If we read once, we fall asleep, we get
31:56stranded.
32:00Yes. Subhanallah. It's different.
32:06That is among the impacts of sin. The
32:08point is, may Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala
32:10honor you, sin has an impact on
32:12ourselves.
32:13And it is not just ourselves, but also
32:16our families.
32:20It is mentioned that in the past, if a
32:23righteous predecessor committed a sin,
32:25he would find its impact upon his family
32:28or his riding animal.
32:30Suddenly they would not obey, suddenly
32:32they would be unruly, suddenly they
32:34would have problems.
32:37So, how do we fix this? By increasing
32:38our seeking of forgiveness from Allah
32:40Subhanahu wa ta'ala. We say
32:41astaghfirullah, astaghfirullah,
32:44astaghfirullah.
32:46Attendees whom may Allah Subhanahu wa
32:48ta'ala honor.
32:50Istighfar (seeking forgiveness) holds a
32:52very great position in our religion, as
32:53it was the sunnah of the prophets and
32:55also our Prophet sallallahu alaihi
32:57wasallam. We find in the Quran many
32:59examples from the prophets.
33:01Prophet Adam alaihissalatu wassalam and
33:04also Eve, when they fell into the act of
33:07sin, they prayed to Allah, "Rabbana
33:09zhalamna anfusana wa illam taghfir lana
33:11wa tarhamna lanakunanna minal khasirin.
33:14"
33:14Praying to Allah, seeking forgiveness
33:16from Allah.
33:18Likewise with Prophet Noah alaihissalatu
33:20wassalam.
33:21Prophet Noah prayed to Allah, "
33:23Rabbighfirli."
33:26"O Allah, please forgive my sins and the
33:28sins of my two parents."
33:30Likewise with Prophet Ibrahim
33:32alaihissalatu wassalam. He once prayed,
33:34"Rabbanaghfirli waliwalidayya walil
33:36mu'minina yauma yaqumul hisab."
33:39He asked Allah, "O Allah, please forgive
33:42me, forgive my two parents." Prophet
33:44Moses was the same, and so was the
33:46Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam. In
33:49fact, the Prophet sallallahu alaihi
33:50wasallam was commanded directly by Allah
33:51Subhanahu wa ta'ala. Allah says, "
33:53Fa'lam annahu la ilaha illallah
33:55wastaghfir lidzanbika."
33:57O Muhammad, know that there is no god
33:59worthy of worship in truth except Allah
34:02. "Wastaghfir lidzanbika."
34:04And seek forgiveness for your sins.
34:08Even the Prophet sallallahu alaihi
34:09wasallam was told to increase his
34:11seeking of forgiveness.
34:14And in the hadith, it is mentioned that
34:15our Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
34:16for one day and one night, how many
34:18times did he seek forgiveness?
34:20A hundred times.
34:22That is the Prophet sallallahu alaihi
34:24wasallam who has already been guaranteed
34:25entry into Paradise by Allah Subhanahu
34:27wa ta'ala. Even the gates of Paradise
34:29will be opened by him.
34:32Yet he still sought forgiveness from
34:33Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala 100 times.
34:36Our scholars explain why we must
34:37increase our seeking of forgiveness from
34:39Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala.
34:42Among the reasons, the first is clearly
34:44because we have many sins and acts of
34:46disobedience.
34:49The Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
34:51said, "Kullu bani Adam...""All children
34:53of Adam are the same, full of sins and
34:55disobedience."
34:57And when we look at ourselves, we should
35:00look with a critical eye.
35:02We have many sins, many acts of
35:03disobedience.
35:04Do not have too much positive thinking,
35:06do not over-exalt ourselves. "Fala
35:07tuzakku anfusakum." Do not consider
35:09ourselves pure.
35:11As it has been conveyed before, the
35:13companions in the past, they combined
35:16two things.
35:18They combined between goodness and fear
35:20.
35:22They did many righteous deeds but did
35:24not feel that they were good.
35:27Whereas those who came later, their
35:29deeds are few but they already consider
35:32themselves pure.
35:34Umar bin Khattab radhiallahu ta'ala anhu
35:36. Who does not know him? He is the
35:39second best human being after the
35:40prophets. But what did Umar bin Khattab
35:43say in Hilyatul Auliya? He said, "If on
35:45the Day of Judgment there is an
35:46announcement that everyone enters
35:48Paradise except for one person." I worry
35:50that one person is me. Wow, that is Umar
35:54bin Khattab.
35:56If on the Day of Judgment there is an
35:58announcement that everyone enters
36:00Paradise except for one person, I worry
36:01that one person is me.
36:04What about us, sir?
36:06When in class, everyone gets in,
36:08everyone will pass.
36:09Everyone passes the exam except for one
36:11person.
36:12Ah, it must be the stupidest one. It
36:14seems like, subhanallah, he's the one
36:16who's cheating.
36:18This is Umar bin Khattab radhiallahu
36:20taala anhu.
36:21Then Umar bin Khattab also once asked eh
36:24, the companion Hudzaifah Ibnul Yaman.
36:28This companion Hudzaifah Ibnu Yaman held
36:29the title of sahibu sirri Rasulillah
36:31sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
36:33The keeper of the secrets of the Prophet
36:35sallallahu alaihi wasallam. Because at
36:37that time, the Prophet sallallahu alaihi
36:38wasallam once gathered with several
36:39people.
36:40Then the Prophet sallallahu alaihi
36:42wasallam whispered to the companion
36:44Hudzaifah Ibnul Yaman. "O Hudzaifah,
36:47among them are 12 hypocrites.
36:50Eight of them will not enter Paradise
36:52until a camel enters the eye of a needle
36:54." And that information was not given to
36:58anyone except Hudzaifah.
37:01And Hudzaifah guarded it with
37:04extraordinary care.
37:07He did not reveal that secret.
37:10Until finally, in the era of Umar bin
37:11Khattab when he was caliph, someone
37:13passed away.
37:15Then Umar prayed over him.
37:17Suddenly Umar saw that Hudzaifah was not
37:19praying over him.
37:23Umar bin Khattab approached him.
37:26O Hudzaifah, why did you not pray over
37:30him? "Umar bin Khattab said," Uh, is
37:38Test
37:40why did he suddenly die? Is this being
37:42tapped,
37:44yeah. "So Umar bin Khattab said," O
37:47Hudzaifah, why did you not pray over him
37:49? "Then Hudzaifah remained silent.
37:52Umar said, is he among the hypocrites
37:54mentioned by the Prophet?
37:56Then Hudzaifah said," Yes. "At that
37:59moment, Umar was worried. Umar
38:01immediately asked Hudzaifah," O
38:03Hudzaifah, for the sake of Allah, tell
38:04me, am I among the hypocrites mentioned
38:06by the Prophet? "" No. "Yes.
38:10Umar bin Khattab radhiallahu taala anhu
38:12, whom the Prophet sallallahu alaihi
38:14wasallam said," Umar is in Paradise,
38:17Umar is in Paradise.
38:18"But even after passing away, he worried
38:22he was a hypocrite.
38:24This was the condition of the early
38:26companions.
38:28They did many good deeds, but on the
38:29other hand, they did not feel they were
38:31good. We have so many sins.
38:34We clearly have many sins and acts of
38:36disobedience. Kullu bani Adam khatya (
38:37Every son of Adam commits sin).
38:41Jazakallah khairan.
38:56Let's have a commercial break first.
38:59Tib, where was I?
39:03So attendees whom may Allah Subhanahu wa
39:05taala honor, the early companions did
39:07many righteous deeds. But on the other
39:09hand, they worried they were hypocrites
39:11. They did not consider themselves pure
39:13.
39:14As for people these days, their good
39:16deeds are few, yet they feel pure, as if
39:18they are extraordinary candidates for
39:20heaven, even guaranteeing others a place
39:22in paradise. Subhanallah. This is very
39:25frightening, truly. We are full of sins
39:28and disobedience. There is not one among
39:31us who is infallible, protected from sin
39:33and wrongdoing.
39:34So when we fall into sin and
39:36disobedience, our duty is to increase
39:37our repentance to Allah.
39:40Because the Prophet, peace and blessings
39:42be upon him, said," If we did not sin,
39:44then surely Allah, the Almighty, would
39:46destroy us all.
39:48"" Then Allah would bring forth a people
39:50who sin, and then they repent to Allah
39:52the Almighty.
39:54"So, Allah the Almighty created us as
39:57sinful beings.
40:00What is the purpose?
40:01To test us.
40:03When we sin, will we remain in the abyss
40:05of disobedience, or will we return to
40:08Allah the Almighty?
40:10And no matter how many sins we have,
40:12never feel too dirty to return to Allah
40:15.
40:16No matter how many sins and acts of
40:18disobedience we commit, the door to
40:20repentance remains very wide open.
40:23Allah the Almighty says," Qul ya'
40:25ibadiyalladzina asrafu 'ala anfusihim la
40:27taqnetu mir rahmatillah.
40:31"O Muhammad, say to My servants," Ya'
40:34ibadi, "O My servants.
40:38Allah the Almighty still calls us His
40:40servants, even though we are sinners.
40:43Allah does not say," O you sinners, come
40:47back, repent. "No. Allah still calls us
40:50," Ya 'ibadi, O My servants, those who
40:53have transgressed against themselves,
40:56who commit much oppression, who commit
40:59many sins, and who have overstepped the
41:02boundaries of Allah. "" La taqnetu mir
41:05rahmatillah. "Do not despair of the
41:07mercy of Allah.
41:10Allah forgives all sins, as long as we
41:12repent to Allah the Almighty.
41:15We will continue briefly after the Adhan
41:17.
41:18Eh, and Allah the Almighty knows best.
41:27Allahu Akbar. Allahu
41:34Akbar.
41:38Allahu
41:41Akbar. Allahu
41:50Akbar.
41:55Ashhadu alla
41:58ilaha illallah.
42:12Ashhadu alla
42:19ilaha illallah.
42:32Ashhadu anna
42:35Muhammadar
42:38Rasulullah.
42:52Ashhadu anna
42:56Muhammadar
43:00Rasulullah.
43:11Hayya alas-salah.
43:30Hayya alas-salah.
43:50Hayya alal-falah.
44:07Hayya
44:10alal-falah.
44:24Allahu
44:28Akbar. Allahu
44:34Akbar.
44:36La ilaha illallah.
45:01Alright. Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.
45:03Alhamdulillah, was-salatu was-salamu'
45:04ala Rasulillah, wa ba'du. Let us
45:06continue briefly, those whom I hope
45:07Allah the Almighty honors. Earlier it
45:10was mentioned that we should increase
45:12our repentance to Allah.
45:14And our scholars explain three reasons
45:16why we must increase our repentance to
45:19Allah.
45:20The first reason is as mentioned earlier
45:22, because we have many sins and acts of
45:25disobedience, and no matter how many
45:27sins we have, never be ashamed, never
45:29hesitate to return to Allah.
45:33In the past, there was a man who had
45:35killed 100 people, 99 people plus one
45:38worshiper.
45:40Then he wanted to repent to Allah and
45:42asked a scholar.
45:45Finally, the scholar said," There is
45:46nothing standing in the way of your
45:47repentance. "Repent. But your current
45:50environment is a corrupt one.
45:53It assists you in committing sins. Move
45:55away from the place where you currently
45:57live.
45:58Finally, he lived, he left that place.
46:01He migrated, midway through the journey
46:03. He passed away, and it turned out
46:05Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala forgave his
46:07sins.
46:08Having killed 100 people.
46:11So, what if his sins were not more than
46:13that?
46:16In the Quran, Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala
46:17also explains about the People of the
46:19Ditch who burned the believers.
46:22Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala says,"
46:24Innalladina fatanul mukminin wal
46:25mukminat tumma lam yatubu.
46:28"Indeed, those who killed the believing
46:30men and believing women by burning them
46:32, and it was not just one person.
46:34Many were killed by them, many were
46:36burned.
46:37But what does Allah say?
46:40Then if they do not repent, falahum '
46:42adhabu jahannama wa lahum' adhabul hariq
46:45. For them is the punishment of Hell and
46:47the punishment of the burning fire. This
46:48means, if they repent, are they forgiven
46:50or not? Forgiven by Allah Subhanahu wa
46:53ta'ala. Then the second reason why we
46:56must increase our repentance to Allah is
46:59because we are not good at being
47:01grateful.
47:03We cannot be grateful for the blessings
47:05that Allah has given us. We know Allah's
47:07blessings are very numerous, and every
47:09blessing demands us to be grateful to
47:12Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala. Since we
47:14cannot be grateful for those immensely
47:16numerous blessings, we increase our
47:19seeking forgiveness (istighfar) from
47:21Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala.
47:23Remember the word of Allah Subhanahu wa
47:25ta'ala to the Prophet sallallahu alaihi
47:26wasallam after the Conquest of Makkah.
47:29Allah says," Idha ja'a nasrullahi wal
47:31fath, wa ra'aitan-nasa yadkhuluna fi
47:33dinillahi afwaja. "What does Allah say?
47:39When victory has come and people have
47:41entered into Islam in crowds, what did
47:42Allah command the Prophet?
47:45Glorify and seek forgiveness.
47:48Why? As grateful as we are, we cannot be
47:51grateful for all the blessings that
47:53Allah has given. We cannot even be
47:55grateful for the blessing of breathing.
47:57Then the third reason, why must we
47:59increase our seeking forgiveness from
48:01Allah?
48:02Because we cannot worship to the maximum
48:06, as perfectly as what Allah Subhanahu
48:10wa ta'ala desires.
48:14During prayer," Allahu Akbar, "we are
48:17already thinking about our sandals, our
48:19car, it is hard to have khushu '(focus)
48:22.
48:23So if the condition is like that, we
48:25should increase our seeking forgiveness
48:27from Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala. Audience
48:29, may Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala honor
48:30you.
48:31The point of this session is that I
48:33invite everyone to increase our seeking
48:35forgiveness from Allah Subhanahu wa
48:37ta'ala.
48:38No matter how many problems we have,
48:40surrender them to Allah by increasing
48:42our seeking forgiveness from Him. There
48:44is a hadith where the Prophet sallallahu
48:46alaihi wasallam said," Man
48:48lazimal-istighfara ja'alallahu min kulli
48:50diiqin faraja. "
48:52And from every difficulty, a way out.
48:56Whoever persists in istighfar, who
48:58constantly makes istighfar, then Allah
49:00Subhanahu wa ta'ala will give relief for
49:03every hardship.
49:05Allah will provide a way out for every
49:07one of their problems. And Allah will
49:09grant them provision from directions
49:12they never expected.
49:14Once, there was a man who complained to
49:17Imam Hasan al-Basri. O Imam Hasan, we
49:19have been in a drought for a long time,
49:22it hasn't rained.
49:23What should we do? Then Imam Hasan
49:25al-Basri said," Seek forgiveness from
49:27Allah.
49:28"Someone else complained to him," O Imam
49:30Hasan, I have no children.
49:32"Then Imam Hasan said," Seek forgiveness
49:34from Allah. "" O Imam Hasan, I am poor.
49:38"" Seek forgiveness from Allah. "O Imam
49:40Hasan, I have a garden. The garden is
49:42drying up; seek forgiveness from Allah.
49:44Then it was said to him," These are four
49:46questions, and the answer to all of them
49:48is seeking forgiveness, seeking
49:49forgiveness, seeking forgiveness. "He
49:51replied," The one who says this is not
49:53me, it is Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala in
49:55the Quran. "
50:07Prophet Noah alaihi wasalam told his
50:09people to frequently seek forgiveness.
50:11Allah is the Most Forgiving. What is the
50:13benefit of seeking forgiveness?
50:17Through seeking forgiveness, Allah will
50:19send down abundant rain.
50:23Allah will grant you much wealth and
50:24children.
50:26Then Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala says,"
50:28and grant you gardens.
50:30"Allah will grant you gardens and Allah
50:32Subhanahu wa ta'ala will grant you
50:34rivers.
50:36And that is the solution to all of their
50:38problems.
50:40Then the Prophet sallallahu alaihi
50:42wasallam said," Blessed is he who finds
50:43much seeking of forgiveness.
50:46"Fortunate is the person who finds in
50:48their record of deeds much seeking of
50:50forgiveness to Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala
50:52.
50:53So, attendees who are honored by Allah
50:55Subhanahu wa ta'ala, let us constantly
50:57strive to keep seeking forgiveness on
50:59our tongues.
51:01Let us always try to moisten our tongues
51:03by remembering Allah.
51:05Once again, dhikr is a very easy
51:07practice.
51:08But unfortunately, we are often lazy, so
51:11be careful of laziness. Laziness is very
51:14dangerous.
51:16Because it is so dangerous, the Prophet
51:17sallallahu alaihi wasallam sought refuge
51:19from laziness every day in the morning
51:21and evening.
51:23What is among those morning and evening
51:25adhkar?" Rabbii a'uudzubika minal kasali
51:27wa suu-il kibar. "O Allah, I seek refuge
51:30in You from laziness and the
51:32wretchedness of old age.
51:34The Prophet paired laziness with the
51:36wretchedness of old age.
51:38Because usually, people who are lazy in
51:40their youth will be miserable in their
51:42old age.
51:44People who, in their youth, were lazy in
51:46worship, lazy in learning, or lazy in
51:48working, will find their old age to be
51:50very pathetic.
51:52So, truly fortunate is the person who
51:53finds in their record of deeds a lot of
51:55seeking forgiveness.
51:57So let us become those servants. We pray
51:59to Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala that Allah
52:01Subhanahu wa ta'ala accepts all our acts
52:04of worship. May Allah forgive our sins.
52:07May Allah grant us taufiq and assistance
52:09so that we become servants who are good
52:11at being grateful, whose hearts are
52:13always patient and who frequently seek
52:15forgiveness from Allah Subhanahu wa
52:17ta'ala.
52:18Perhaps this is all that can be conveyed
52:19. May what has been conveyed become
52:21beneficial knowledge for us. I apologize
52:22if there is anything unpleasant.
52:25Our Prophet, praise be to Allah.
52:29I bear witness that there is no god but
52:30You, I seek Your forgiveness, and peace
52:32be upon you, and the mercy of Allah, and
52:33His blessings.
