Repentance

"..So if you repent, that is best for you; but if you turn away - then know that you will not cause failure to Allah.."
- At-Tawbah : 3

the GOOD NEWS is, even the huge mistakes or any kind of sins we involved, Allah always waiting for us to ask for His Forgiveness. We thought we have done a very big crime but the Door of Repentance exactly Triple Big than the sins that we done. 

So lucky I am of being a Muslim. So lucky we are for being the slave of Allah.

I'm about to lose the battle and cross the line

I'm about to make another mistake

And even though I try to stay away

everything around me keeps dragging me in

I can't help thinking to myself what if my time would end today, today, today

Can I gaurantee that I will get another chance

before it's too late, too late, too late

Forgive me

My heart is so full of regret

Forgive me

Now is the right time for me to repent, repent, repent

Am I out of my mind?

What did I do?

Oh, I feel so bad

And everytime I try to start all over again

my shame comes back to haunt me

I'm trying hard to walk away but temptation is surrounding me, surrounding me

I wish that I could find the strength to change my life

before it's too late, too late, too late

I know, Oh Allah, you're the most forgiving

And that you've promised to always be there

when I call upon you

So now I'm standing here ashamed of

all the mistakes I've committed

Please don't turn me away and hear my prayer

when I ask you to forgive me.

-Forgive Me by Maher Zain

Think good of others, people!

Well, something good must be shared. So, just now I had found several ways to think good upon others. 

and yah, this is copy and paste entry. :D


The following is a translation of this Facebook note: bersangka baik itu kan bagos :)

1. When you meet someone, be sure that he is better than you. Say it in your heart, “Maybe his status with Allah is higher than mine.”

2. When you meet a young boy, say it in your heart, “This child hasn’t done a single sin yet, where as I’ve done a lot. Surely this boy is better than me.”

3. When you meet an old man, say it in your heart, “He has worshipped Allah longer than I have, surely he is better than me.”

4. When you meet someone knowledgeable, say it in your heart, “This person possesses a blessing that is lacking in me, obtained a status that I couldn’t achieve, knows what I don’t know, and he acts upon his knowledge. Surely he is better than me.”

5. When you meet someone ignorant, say it in your heart, “He does Allah wrong out of his ignorance, while I do Him wrong when I’ve already known better not to do so. And I do not know how I will be at the end of my life and at the end of his.”

6. When you meet a kafir, say it in your heart, “I do not know of his fate in the future. Maybe in the end of his life he will become a Muslim and practice the Deen well. And maybe it’s possible that in the end of my life I will become a kafir and commit wrongdoings.”

There is no harm in thinking good of others as oppose to having ill thoughts about them that can cause you to sin. Things that are not clear do not need to be thought of as evil and negative because that might just be the shaytaan talking in your head.

Allah knows best.
