The door of Taubah or repentance is open for all. The acceptance of our repentance is always
available. Islam is a practical religion. It acknowledges our weaknesses. People are always subject
to wrongdoings. They may neglect or delay performing obligations (wajib) or they may even
indulge in sins (ma’asi’) but Allah subhana wa ta’ala is Oft-Forgiving and His door is open to all
wrongdoers.
We are given the chance to repent and come back to Allah. This is a mercy from Allah. If we
truly repent to Allah, our sins will be forgiven and even the bad records will be changed into
good ones. Allah is telling us that He is Forgiving, Merciful and Compassionate. He requires us to come to Him and seek His forgiveness. We should know that the door of Allah is open to us
all the time. If we do something wrong at night, we should come back to Him in the morning
and if we do something wrong in the morning, we should come to seek His forgiveness during
the night. We are always encouraged to do istighfar, which means to remember Allah and praise Him by reciting His Dhikr. We should maintain this istighfar regularly, for example, during the
morning and evening times. It is also recommended to recite these adhkar after the salah and in some other specific times. We are encouraged to read these dhikr in our hearts.
The hadith shows the generosity of Almighty Allah. Allah gives His servants a lot of bounties and favours. The more they ask Him, the more He gives them His Ni’mah and countless Bounties.
He wants us to ask Him more and seek His help and support. This is different from human
beings because humans do not like to be asked frequently. The more you ask a human, the more they hate you and eventually will turn away from you. But the more we ask Allah the more He gives us. He wants us to come closer to Him and show Him our needs and humbleness. He will
be pleased by our frequent taubah and repentance. This is also a kind of ibadah which is required to be practiced.
Hope these evidences are enough to satisfy you. If you think they are not still enough, follow me keenly and get before you other equally thirst quenching evidences about the subject. In fact you can even educate others about it better than I’m doing. Be concerned about what concerns you yet seek knowledge, for ignorance is a prison wherein the inmates are those who are reluctant when it comes to seeking knowledge. When you learn, you lead others aright and save them from captivity. But you don’t just learn anything, you seek beneficial knowledge and wisdom from the right sources with the proper ethics. Look for the write up on ethics of seeking knowledge. And as usual, when you sleep over the bed of heedlessness in your youth, then be sure to tread on the path of regret during old age.
We all are sinful, the of sinners is he who constantly repents.
