Transcript

00:00:00.000 We should never ever despair from Allah's mercy, we should never turn away from Allah's mercy
00:00:05.540 Like I mentioned, if Allah's mercy has encompassed everything, the shaitan knows that
00:00:10.780 But even then he has not given up, he still wants you to enter the pits of the fire of hell with him
00:00:17.900 So he hasn't given up
00:00:20.360 Even though he knows Allah's mercy has encompassed everything
00:00:25.040 Even the fact that he was given respite until the day of judgment is a form of Allah's mercy to him
00:00:30.040 So what plan does the shaitan use for us to, for there to be a barrier between us and Allah's mercy?
00:00:40.360 Who can tell me?
00:00:43.840 To despair from the rahmah of Allah, like I mentioned
00:00:46.500 For us to be the ones that turn away, say no I don't want it
00:00:51.960 War for us to think that Allah is not going to forgive me
00:00:56.420 We've taken ayat and hadith that show us the greatness of Allah's mercy
00:01:01.280 And this is why in this ayah and in this surah Allah dedicates an entire verse
00:01:07.860 To remind us constantly that he is the Lord of forgiveness and compassion and mercy
00:01:15.440 This is why we should never despair from Allah's mercy
00:01:19.660 As he says
00:01:21.700 As Allah says
00:01:34.880 O my servants who have been wasteful
00:01:37.960 And they have wronged themselves
00:01:39.800 And they have transgressed against their own souls
00:01:42.840 Do not despair from the mercy of Allah
00:01:48.800 Because Allah, he forgives every sin and every mistake
00:01:52.680 Showing us the greatness of Allah's mercy
00:01:57.160 And how much love and compassion he has for us
00:02:00.340 The Prophet ﷺ said
00:02:03.040 If the believer was to know
00:02:07.980 The punishments of Allah
00:02:13.420 He will think that nobody is going to enter into paradise
00:02:17.560 And if the disbeliever was to know what Allah had with his mercy
00:02:24.060 Then he will think nobody is going to enter the fire of hell
00:02:27.820 Showing us how vast Allah's mercy is
00:02:31.140 But at the same time we have that balance
00:02:33.600 Where we fear his punishment as well
00:02:36.760 We don't say I'm going to do whatever I want
00:02:40.400 And Allah is going to be merciful
00:02:41.960 He's going to be waiting for me with his mercy
00:02:44.680 No, it doesn't mean that
00:02:46.140 It means we try our best
00:02:49.020 To worship Allah
00:02:50.520 And we understand there's going to be times
00:02:52.800 Where we're going to slip up
00:02:53.940 And we're going to fall into sin
00:02:56.100 And fall victim to the shaitan
00:02:57.700 And his plans and his plots
00:02:59.520 However
00:03:00.900 When we do fall into those sins
00:03:04.380 We have humility
00:03:05.800 And we acknowledge we've made a mistake
00:03:08.320 And we turn back to Allah
00:03:10.100 And we seek his forgiveness
00:03:11.700 And we seek his mercy
00:03:14.540 And we never give up
00:03:16.460 We never give up in Allah's mercy
00:03:19.920 And one important point here is
00:03:23.040 That when we see somebody falling into sin
00:03:26.320 We never look down upon them
00:03:28.620 And we don't judge them
00:03:29.600 And we don't say that person is barred from the mercy of Allah
00:03:34.240 Or Allah is not going to forgive that person
00:03:36.600 The Prophet ﷺ himself spoke about this
00:03:39.780 Where he said
00:03:41.280 That a man said
00:03:48.600 By Allah
00:03:49.940 Allah is not going to forgive so and so
00:03:51.740 That this person is barred
00:03:54.020 And he's restricted from Allah's mercy
00:03:55.820 Then Allah said
00:03:58.620 Prophet ﷺ told us in this hadith
00:04:12.200 That Allah said
00:04:12.940 Who is there that has the audacity
00:04:16.600 To speak on my behalf
00:04:18.240 And restrict my mercy
00:04:20.440 Tell this person
00:04:23.520 That I have forgiven
00:04:25.160 The person he said
00:04:26.800 Was never ever going to
00:04:27.920 Attain my forgiveness
00:04:29.380 And I have made your actions
00:04:31.320 Null and void
00:04:32.160 SubhanAllah
00:04:33.940 Showing us
00:04:34.660 The severity
00:04:37.300 Of this sin
00:04:38.520 Of arrogance
00:04:39.520 And looking down upon others
00:04:41.100 And thinking that
00:04:42.320 Allah is not going to forgive
00:04:43.720 Others
00:04:45.100 Thinking that we're better than them
00:04:47.680 Prophet ﷺ said
00:04:49.960 This is one of the means
00:04:50.780 To have our
00:04:51.780 Deeds null and void
00:04:54.300 Why is that?
00:04:58.540 Why do the deeds become null and void
00:05:00.300 For the person who says
00:05:01.480 Allah is not going to forgive so and so
00:05:03.120 It's a level of arrogance
00:05:10.800 Where he thinks
00:05:12.140 His will be accepted
00:05:13.480 What else?
00:05:14.140 What else?
00:05:14.220 It undermines Allah's mercy
00:05:23.560 He is restricting
00:05:25.380 The mercy of Allah
00:05:26.780 Something which he has no right to do
00:05:28.740 As the creation
00:05:29.560 He's speaking about Allah
00:05:31.580 Without any knowledge
00:05:33.020 Without any understanding
00:05:34.240 And he's doing the work
00:05:36.860 Of the shaitan
00:05:37.720 Where he's
00:05:39.200 Helping
00:05:40.240 Or he's making this person think
00:05:41.820 You should turn away
00:05:44.240 From Allah's mercy
00:05:45.160 You should carry on sinning
00:05:46.800 Because the doors of mercy
00:05:48.580 Are closed for you
00:05:49.460 And sometimes
00:05:52.060 We don't need another person
00:05:53.940 To do this for us
00:05:54.760 We do it to ourselves
00:05:55.920 When we think
00:05:58.220 I've done such and such mistake
00:05:59.580 Or I've made this mistake
00:06:01.160 Allah is not going to forgive me
00:06:02.760 The fact that you have
00:06:04.540 That guilt inside you
00:06:05.960 The fact that you are
00:06:07.040 Conscience of your Lord
00:06:08.180 It shows
00:06:09.360 That there is some goodness there
00:06:11.060 And Allah will forgive you
00:06:13.180 And you should never ever give up
00:06:15.180 In the mercy of Allah
00:06:17.360 And subhanAllah
00:06:19.360 If you were to
00:06:20.300 Make a mistake in this dunya
00:06:22.560 And you went
00:06:25.060 And you did something
00:06:25.940 That your mother told you
00:06:27.640 You shouldn't do
00:06:28.320 And you did it
00:06:31.520 And then she came home
00:06:32.640 And you tell her
00:06:33.280 This is what I've done
00:06:34.500 You acknowledge what you've done
00:06:37.380 She'll always accept you
00:06:38.880 With open arms
00:06:39.700 She'll always accept you
00:06:41.240 With open arms
00:06:42.000 That's in this dunya
00:06:43.380 We look at
00:06:45.040 What happens when Allah
00:06:47.080 He accepts somebody's forgiveness
00:06:49.420 When we turn to him
00:06:51.260 With repentance
00:06:51.840 And we seek his help
00:06:53.580 There's a number of things
00:06:55.900 That happen
00:06:56.400 The first one
00:06:58.000 Is that Allah
00:06:59.620 Forgives that sin
00:07:00.880 No matter how great it may be
00:07:03.620 No matter how great you think
00:07:05.980 That sin is
00:07:06.780 Allah's doors of mercy
00:07:09.240 Are always open
00:07:10.120 And he will always seek
00:07:12.240 He will always give you
00:07:13.760 That forgiveness
00:07:14.360 If you seek it from him
00:07:15.740 When you make tawbah
00:07:17.620 You cut yourself off
00:07:19.040 From that sin
00:07:19.720 You feel guilt
00:07:21.460 You have an intention
00:07:22.720 To never ever go back
00:07:23.840 To that sin
00:07:24.420 You make a sincere tawbah
00:07:26.580 You place a barrier
00:07:28.120 Between yourself
00:07:29.000 And that sin
00:07:30.140 Allah
00:07:32.660 Will always forgive you
00:07:34.700 No matter how great
00:07:36.440 That sin may seem
00:07:37.740 In a hadith al-Qudsi
00:07:41.160 The Prophet ﷺ tells us
00:07:44.440 That Allah said
00:07:45.200 Yabna Adam
00:07:47.340 Innaka ma da'otani
00:07:48.940 Warajotani
00:07:49.760 Ghafartu laka
00:07:51.020 Ala ma kana minka
00:07:52.180 Wala'ubali
00:07:53.020 Prophet ﷺ said
00:07:57.700 That Allah said
00:07:59.600 O son of Adam
00:08:01.220 As long as
00:08:04.320 You seek my forgiveness
00:08:05.740 And you make dua
00:08:07.200 And you have hope
00:08:08.580 I will forgive you
00:08:11.120 For your sins
00:08:11.860 No matter how great they are
00:08:13.400 And I do not care
00:08:15.160 And the hadith carries on
00:08:17.860 Speaking about
00:08:18.660 How Allah says
00:08:19.920 If you were to come to me
00:08:21.060 With the
00:08:21.980 With this earth
00:08:23.580 Full of sins
00:08:24.340 And then you make
00:08:27.240 You made tawbah
00:08:28.220 And you made istighfar
00:08:29.700 And you saw Allah's repentance
00:08:31.000 And you took active steps
00:08:33.420 To stop yourself
00:08:34.220 From that sin
00:08:35.000 Allah will turn to us
00:08:37.300 With forgiveness
00:08:37.900 Showing us
00:08:41.160 The vast mercy
00:08:43.080 Of Allah
00:08:43.620 So the first thing
00:08:45.620 That we learn
00:08:46.100 When we make tawbah
00:08:46.920 Is that Allah
00:08:48.220 He accepts that tawbah
00:08:49.620 And he forgives that sin
00:08:50.840 No matter how great
00:08:52.160 You think it may be
00:08:53.160 The second thing
00:08:56.040 When it comes to
00:08:56.600 Understanding Allah's mercy
00:08:57.940 When we seek his forgiveness
00:08:59.420 And we seek his mercy
00:09:01.080 Is that it is there
00:09:02.740 24-7
00:09:03.720 Throughout the day
00:09:05.640 And throughout the night
00:09:06.560 There is nothing
00:09:07.120 Which can restrict
00:09:08.020 Allah's mercy
00:09:08.880 And we learn this
00:09:12.620 From the hadith
00:09:13.260 Of the Prophet
00:09:13.660 Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
00:09:13.960 Said
00:09:14.320 Inna Allah Ta'ala
00:09:16.520 Yabsutu yadahu
00:09:17.640 Bil layli
00:09:18.300 Liyatuba
00:09:19.260 Musi'un nahar
00:09:20.560 That Allah
00:09:22.440 He extends his hand
00:09:24.160 In the night time
00:09:26.620 For those people
00:09:28.700 That sin throughout the day
00:09:30.100 And throughout the day time
00:09:32.640 He extends his hand
00:09:34.120 For those people
00:09:35.240 That sin throughout the night
00:09:37.020 And this happens
00:09:38.980 Every single day
00:09:40.120 Up until
00:09:40.760 The sun rises from
00:09:42.640 The west
00:09:44.300 Meaning the time
00:09:45.400 When Yom Al-Qiyamah
00:09:46.220 Is established
00:09:46.900 So throughout the day
00:09:49.700 And throughout the night
00:09:50.620 Allah's hand of mercy
00:09:52.220 And forgiveness
00:09:52.740 Is extended
00:09:53.540 To us
00:09:54.560 From that which happens
00:09:58.020 When we seek
00:09:59.160 Allah's forgiveness
00:09:59.960 Is that he is happy
00:10:01.180 For us
00:10:01.960 SubhanAllah
00:10:03.460 We have wronged ourselves
00:10:04.840 And we have gone
00:10:06.760 Against the rules
00:10:07.660 That he has set there
00:10:08.500 For us
00:10:09.060 We have gone
00:10:11.520 Against his guidance
00:10:12.580 And we go back
00:10:14.660 And we humble ourselves
00:10:15.820 And we seek
00:10:17.920 His forgiveness
00:10:18.560 Not only does he
00:10:20.360 Accept this forgiveness
00:10:21.400 Not only is he there
00:10:23.240 To forgive us
00:10:23.820 Day and night
00:10:24.600 But SubhanAllah
00:10:27.500 He is happy for us
00:10:29.500 The Prophet S.A.W. said
00:10:31.580 Allah
00:10:32.580 أَفْرَحُ بِتَوْبَةِ أَبْدِهِ
00:10:34.360 مِنْ أَحَدِكُمْ
00:10:35.580 سَقَطَ عَلَى بَعِيرِهِ
00:10:37.580 وَكَدْ أَدَلَّهُ فِي أَرْدٍ فَلَاهِ
00:10:39.580 The Prophet S.A.W. said
00:10:41.860 Allah is more happy
00:10:43.720 When we seek forgiveness
00:10:47.300 And make repentance
00:10:48.760 He is more happy
00:10:51.800 Than when
00:10:53.120 If one of you was traveling
00:10:54.760 And he was on a camel
00:10:56.700 And he had everything on that camel
00:10:59.380 And he loses it
00:11:02.400 And then he finds it again
00:11:04.740 You can imagine the happiness
00:11:05.840 This person is going to have
00:11:07.200 The Prophet S.A.W. said
00:11:10.140 Allah is more happier than that man
00:11:11.760 And today we can understand this
00:11:14.300 Imagine if you're driving
00:11:15.300 And you're on the motorway
00:11:16.460 You're going to a city
00:11:17.380 You've never been to before
00:11:18.420 And you stop at a service station
00:11:21.100 And you come out
00:11:22.440 And the car's disappeared
00:11:23.780 And everything of value is in there
00:11:26.440 Your wallet, your phone, everything
00:11:28.140 Everything is in that car
00:11:31.120 And it disappears
00:11:32.820 And you start asking people
00:11:35.100 And there's no sign of this car
00:11:38.420 Whatsoever
00:11:39.040 Then out of the blue
00:11:41.760 You remember you parked it somewhere else
00:11:43.500 And you see that car
00:11:44.800 That happiness that you would have in your heart
00:11:49.560 Or it just appears magically
00:11:51.220 That happiness that you have in your heart
00:11:53.800 Allah is more happy than that
00:11:55.600 When you seek his forgiveness
00:11:57.380 And subhanAllah
00:12:00.480 It's not like Allah gains anything
00:12:02.300 From this tawbah that we seek
00:12:04.320 So why is he happy?
00:12:07.600 He's happy for the fact that
00:12:09.400 We are bettering ourselves
00:12:10.860 And we are attaining happiness
00:12:13.400 For atoning for our sins
00:12:15.260 And having our sins washed away
00:12:16.940 Because Allah does not gain anything
00:12:19.760 From our tawbah and our repentance
00:12:24.680 Or rather we are the ones that gain
00:12:26.860 And another thing that happens
00:12:30.540 That shows us the vastness of Allah's mercy
00:12:33.400 And how great his mercy truly is
00:12:35.560 Is that not only does he accept the tawbah
00:12:39.960 Not only does he show us mercy
00:12:42.200 He wipes away those sins
00:12:44.820 And he's there day and night to forgive us
00:12:48.460 And he's happy for our forgiveness
00:12:52.760 But subhanAllah
00:12:55.120 He turns our bad deeds
00:12:56.880 Into our good deeds
00:12:58.460 SubhanAllah
00:13:01.160 If he was just to forgive us
00:13:03.920 For our transgressions
00:13:05.020 That would be enough
00:13:05.940 But he gives and he gives and he gives
00:13:10.060 And we learn in Surah Furkan
00:13:13.520 Where Allah speaks about
00:13:14.460 The sifat of the Ibadur Rahman
00:13:17.780 The attributes of his true faithful servants
00:13:21.080 He says
00:13:22.900 Allah says those people that make tawbah
00:13:35.520 They seek his forgiveness
00:13:36.940 And they truly repent
00:13:38.360 And they believe
00:13:40.880 And they accompany this true belief
00:13:44.260 With righteous deeds
00:13:45.880 They do these three things
00:13:47.440 They make tawbah
00:13:48.720 They believe
00:13:49.400 They do righteous deeds with them
00:13:50.760 They show that they've turned away
00:13:52.680 From that sin
00:13:53.380 It's not just an empty
00:13:56.280 I'm sorry
00:13:57.460 No but they understand
00:13:59.420 That this was something
00:14:00.160 Which was not befitting
00:14:01.100 For them to fall into
00:14:02.220 They've taken active steps
00:14:04.140 To move away from that
00:14:05.440 Allah says
00:14:08.340 Allah says
00:14:08.360 Allah
00:14:11.880 He turns
00:14:13.180 Their bad deeds
00:14:14.540 Into good deeds
00:14:15.480 For them
00:14:16.000 SubhanAllah
00:14:18.260 Showing us
00:14:18.980 The great vastness
00:14:20.060 Of our Lord
00:14:20.800 Al-Imam Hassan al-Basri
00:14:26.040 Who died in the year 110
00:14:27.340 After the Prophet
00:14:28.500 He said about this verse
00:14:31.880 That from Allah's mercy
00:14:39.200 Is that he has changed
00:14:40.880 And he turns
00:14:42.060 Their bad deeds
00:14:43.580 Into good deeds
00:14:45.040 And he has turned
00:14:49.320 Their shirk
00:14:50.100 After their tawbah
00:14:51.220 Into sincerity
00:14:52.720 And that true belief
00:14:54.200 In Allah
00:14:54.760 And the indecency
00:15:00.860 That they would make before
00:15:02.000 Allah
00:15:03.040 He turns that into
00:15:04.340 The reward of being
00:15:06.080 Chaste
00:15:06.940 And having chastity
00:15:07.860 And if it was kufr
00:15:12.160 That they had fallen to before
00:15:13.360 Allah gives them
00:15:14.520 The reward of
00:15:15.700 Of Al-Islam
00:15:17.720 Of believing in Allah
