ChQasim

It’s my own grey matter I’m messing up with -

[chqasim1]

One min you’re sitting, working, everything’s fine, next min your heart sinks to what seems like the deepest pits of hell. Followed by sharp pain and then numbness in your hands. Breathing becomes a chore, the world literally loses its color. Anyway, fuck anxiety.

When it comes to tawba, or repentence, the most important point is that its door is always open. It can be done with any words or expressions, and its only real condition is sidq, or sincerity. The sincere repentence will naturally comprise of four parts:

1 admitting what we've done

2 regretting it

3 asking Allah's forgiveness

4 committing never to do it again

Of these four, the most important is regret. The Prophet ﷺ said, "The [essence of] tawba is regret."

Even if a person has an addiction, they may repent, with the intention that they will not willingly return to it. Addicts have one cardinal rule in their journey to purification: never giving up.

Tawba can be expressed by any means and any words, most popularly, "astaghfirullah."

A man once said, "O Allah your forgiveness is wider than my sins, and I have more hope in your mercy than in my actions." He repeated this three times, then the Messenger ﷺ said, "This man has been forgiven."

The dua of Prophet Yunus is among the greatest prayers of repentence since it contains tawhid, tanzih, and tawba.

"There is none worthy of worship but You; glory be to You; I was from the wrong doers."

Because tawba simply means turning back to Allah, every type of believer makes tawba, even those who cannot think of what sin they committed. They turn back to Allah from not remembering Him, to remembering Him. Or from having light focus to having strong focus. The Messenger ﷺ himself used to seek forgiveness over seventy times a day.

When tawba enters the heart of the believer, punishment flees.

[islamic-art-and-quotes]

اعْلَمُوا أَنَّمَا الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا لَعِبٌ وَلَهْوٌ وَزِينَةٌ وَتَفَاخُرٌ بَيْنَكُمْ وَتَكَاثُرٌ فِي الْأَمْوَالِ وَالْأَوْلَادِ كَمَثَلِ غَيْثٍ أَعْجَبَ الْكُفَّارَ نَبَاتُهُ ثُمَّ يَهِيجُ فَتَرَاهُ مُصْفَرًّا ثُمَّ يَكُونُ حُطَامًا وَفِي الْآَخِرَةِ عَذَابٌ شَدِيدٌ وَمَغْفِرَةٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَرِضْوَانٌ وَمَا الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا مَتَاعُ الْغُرُورِ

Never forget that the life of this world is only a game and a passing delight, a show, and mutual boasting and trying to outrival each other in riches and children. It is like the growth of vegetation after the rain, which delights the planter, but which then withers away, turns yellow and becomes worthless stubble. In the life to come there will be a terrible punishment, or God’s forgiveness and approval: the life of this world is nothing but means of deception. (Quran 57:20)
