Pure love

BismillahirRahmaniRahim
Assalaamu alaykum

Dear Friends

I pray that you are well. Ameen.

No matter how big your sin is even if it reaches the clouds of the sky and great as the earth, go to Allah, sincerely ask Him to forgive you. Allah is Al-Tawwab, the One who not only accepts repentance but also guides you to repentance. Imagine this, you are the one who committed the sin but He invites you to repent. The fact that you have this bad feeling about what you did, He is inviting you to repent. He wants you to come back to Him so He can raise you up. So don't miss the opportunity to be with the King of Kings. Be thankful and return His invitation, say "astaghfirullah" with all your heart.

Allah gives us all these things that we have and around us to benefit from and then when we do something wrong He invites us to come to Him--this computer that you have, the ability in you to read this email and understand what is said, the sweet aroma of the tea/coffee brewing in your kitchen/office, the enjoyment sipping that hot tea/coffee in this cold weather, the sweet smell of jasmine/roses getting its way through that little crack of your window, the beautiful chirping of the birds in your garden, the lovely fingers that you use to type your emails to your friends, the ability to get up from your comfy bed this morning to pray Fajr, even that strength to lift the toothbrush this morning before you do our wudu', the breeze, the light, the ability to do that sujud, receiving that hugs from your children before they go to school and then receiving that hugs again when they come back from school, to hear salaams from your loved ones, many many things that we often take for granted and much much more and even if we spend a lifetime trying to list them, you will not be able to exhaust what Allah has given and will continue to give. He gives and doesn't need anything back. This is pure love!

What do we do when someone wronged us, are we quick to forgive? Not easy sometimes but forgive them for the sake of loving and pleasing the One who loves you and the One you love. Don't go to sleep without forgiving everyone. This is one of the keys to Paradise. If you love someone show that love because that will bring happiness to the heart of that person knowing that you love them. Bringing happiness to the heart of someone will help you a lot in the Hereafter.

On the authority of Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and grant him peace, say: Allah the Almighty said: O son of Adam, so long as you call upon Me and ask of Me, I shall forgive you for what you have done, and I shall not mind. O son of Adam, were your sins to reach the clouds of the sky and were you then to ask forgiveness of Me, I would forgive you. O son of Adam, were you to come to Me with sins nearly as great as the earth and were you then to face Me, ascribing no partner to Me, I would bring you forgiveness nearly as great at it. It was related by at-Tirmidhi (also by Ahmad ibn Hanbal). Its chain of authorities is sound.

"(He turned in mercy also) to the three who were left behind; (they felt guilty) to such a degree that the earth seemed constrained to them, for all its spaciousness, and their (very) souls seemed straitened to them,- and they perceived that th ere is no fleeing from God (and no refuge) but to Himself. Then He turned to them, that they might repent: for God is Oft-Returning, Most Merciful." Qur'an Repentance 9:118

May Allah forgive all our sins and give us the ability to forgive others. Ameen. Please forgive me for everything. Jazakallahu khairan.

And Allah knows best.

Wassalaam
