Bismillah
One day sooner than we think, we will meet our Creator. May the meeting be the best of our meetings. Aameen.
Allah Most High says,
يَوْمَ لَا يَنفَعُ مَالٌ وَلَا بَنُونَ ﴿٨٨﴾ إِلَّا مَنْ أَتَى اللَّـهَ بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ
The Day when there will not benefit [anyone] wealth or children. But only one who comes to Allah with a sound heart. [Ash-Shu'ara 26:88-89]
A sound heart is a heart that is purified from all forms of impurity that draw a person away from Allah. Such person stays away from arrogance, showing off, worldly greed, selfishness, rancor, jealousy, envy, hatred, anger, stinginess, etc.
When a person commits a sin, the heart is stained. It is removed by repentance and good deeds.
There is no other concept in the entire Quran in which the language is as powerful as that Allah wanting us and asking us to repent to Him. How many are the verses that talk about Allah's forgiveness. In fact, the majority of Allah's Names and Attributes center around forgiveness, compassion and mercy. Allah will give you this world and the next when you repent. He is happier at one of your repentance than someone lost in the desert and found his camel. So repent.
Take advantage of this blessed month of Ramadhan to rush to more good deeds.
May Allah make us of the oft-repentent and accept all of our deeds. Aameen.
