Hasten to Forgiveness 🌿

Oh you, who your Lord has freed from the fire, be warned of returning to the servitude of the wretched after being freed! Will your Lord distance you from the fire, while you seek nearness to it! He (Allah) saved you from it, while you seek to throw yourself in it, and don’t care to protect yourself from it! [ Lataa'if al-Ma'ārif by Ibn Rajab ] #HastenToForgiveness #AllahWishesToAcceptYourRepentance

Eid Mubaarak ♥! تقبل الله منا ومنكم الصيام والقيام وصالح الاعمال واعاد الله علينا رمضان اعوام عديدة وازمنة مديدة ونحن وانتم باتم صحة وحال

Are you leaving? Are we really bidding you goodbye? For a time, of unsureness of meeting again? Are you really leaving? while I haven't pack you up with the best of worship? Are you leaving? With your tranquility and beauty? Are you leaving? While leaving your lovers sobbing? Would this be our last? If so, what a bad companion was I? A hard separation whilst the tears ran by.. Are you really leaving? Ya Ramadan? With your blessings, your generosity, leaving us to shayaateen again? Are u really leaving, o beloved one? What a painful goodbye.. As we wait long another uncertain months.. -Ramblingsofapoet

Ibn Rajab [رحمه الله] said: Seeking forgiveness is a seal for all righteous deeds. It seals the prayer, Hajj, Qayyam Al-Layl the night prayer and it seals gatherings. Therefore, if it was a Remembrance of الله then it is like putting a stamp of seal on it and if there were mistakes and deficiencies then it would be an expiation for it. Likewise it is befitting to complete the month of Ramadan with seeking forgiveness. [Lataif Al-Ma’arif, (Page: 383) ] It's still not too late ان شاء الله. O' brethren, hasten towards His Forgiveness, good deeds and His Pleasure. Strive to make use of these blessed days

إِنَّ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ فِي جَنَّٰتٖ وَعُيُونٍ Verily, the Muttaqun (pious) will be in the midst of Gardens and Springs (in the Paradise), ءَاخِذِينَ مَآ ءَاتَىٰهُمۡ رَبُّهُمۡۚ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ قَبۡلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُحۡسِنِينَ Taking joy in the things which their Lord has given them. Verily, they were before this Muhsinun (good-doers). كَانُواْ قَلِيلٗا مِّنَ ٱلَّيۡلِ مَا يَهۡجَعُونَ They used to sleep but little by night [invoking their Lord (Allah) and praying, with fear and hope]. وَبِٱلۡأَسۡحَارِ هُمۡ يَسۡتَغۡفِرُونَ And in the hours before dawn, they were (found) asking (Allah) for forgiveness, [Surah Adh-Dhariyat 15-18]

Allah informs us in surah Ash-Shuraa [42] that: [وَهُوَ الَّذِي يَقْبَلُ التَّوْبَةَ عَنْ عِبَادِهِ وَيَعْفُو عَنِ السَّيِّئَاتِ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ ‎] "And it is He who accepts repentance from His servants and pardons misdeeds, and He knows what you do." [25] In the midst of his comments on this ayah, Imam al-Baghawi wrote: [قيل : التوبة ترك المعاصي نية وفعلا والإقبال على الطاعة نية وفعلا .] Some have said that tawbah is leaving sins both in terms of one's intentions and actions while setting oneself to obedience both in terms of one's intentions and actions. [Ma'alim al-Tanzil 7/193] #HastenToForgiveness #AllahWishesToAcceptYourRepentance

Ash-Shura 42:25 وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى يَقْبَلُ ٱلتَّوْبَةَ عَنْ عِبَادِهِۦ وَيَعْفُوا۟ عَنِ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ #HastenToForgiveness #AllahWishesToAcceptYourRepentance

Ibn Rajab رحمه الله said: "O you who has wasted the years of his life, there is nothing that will amend those lost and wasted years except for the night of Al-Qadr, for verily its value is equivalent to that of a lifetime." ● [لطائفُ المعارف ص ١٩١]

Final nights of Ramadan — Poem by Ibn Rajab رحمه الله The years have passed so carelessly in jest and in loss How much have I lost from what I spent in the days throughout my life What do I have to say about my loss in my life, is there any excuse? How much have we been heedless of the duty of praise and gratefulness to Allāh Did Allāh not choose us a special month, and what a month it is! A month in which the Most Merciful revealed the best of all speech Is there any month like it? In it is the Night of Decree. How many narrations have come authentic about the reward in that night We have been informed through the trustworthy that it is to be sought on the odd nights. Glad tidings to the one who seeks it in the last ten nights In it the Angels descend with light and with mercy And He (Allāh has said): Peace it is until the rise of dawn [Al-Qadr:5] So secure it, indeed it is from the most precious of those things saved How many are freed in it from the fire yet they don't know #SeekingLaylatulQadr

Agreed

Imam Ibn al Jawzī رحمه الله said: ‎“By Allāh, if it was said to the dead in their graves, ‎‘Wish for something.’ ‎They would wish to witness one [more] day of Ramadan.” ‎[Tabsirah, 2/75]

رمضان مبارك ✨

Al-Isra' 17:44 تُسَبِّحُ لَهُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتُ ٱلسَّبۡعُ وَٱلۡأَرۡضُ وَمَن فِيهِنَّۚ وَإِن مِّن شَيۡءٍ إِلَّا يُسَبِّحُ بِحَمۡدِهِۦ وَلَٰكِن لَّا تَفۡقَهُونَ تَسۡبِيحَهُمۡۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ حَلِيمًا غَفُورࣰا The seven heavens and the earth and all that is therein, glorify Him and there is not a thing but glorifies His Praise. But you understand not their glorification. Truly, He is Ever Forbearing, Oft-Forgiving.

Ibnul Qayyim رحمه الله said: "Even if the sinner enjoys the various types of blessings, there exists in his heart loneliness, disgrace, and regret which cuts through the hearts." Ad-Daa Wad-Dawaa (Vol.1 P120)

‏"التوبة ترفع منزلة صاحبها وإن كان فيه قبل ذلك ما كان". جامع المسائل جـ٤صـ٦٠ Repentance raises the rank of its doer, even if they were upon what they were upon before it. Jaami al Masaail 4/60

فَقُلۡتُ ٱسۡتَغۡفِرُواْ رَبَّكُمۡ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ غَفَّارٗا "I said (to them): 'Ask forgiveness from your Lord; Verily, He is Oft-Forgiving [Surah Nûh: 10]
