رمضان کی ندامت

• 1

  “Say: O My slaves who have been prodigal to their own hurt! Despair not of the mercy of Allah, Who forgiveth all sins. Lo! He is the Forgiving, the Merciful.”

  Surah 39:53

  ALL sins. Not some. Not the small ones. All of them. The door is open right now, this very second. He is not angry — He is waiting. Walk through.

  “And those who, when they do an evil thing or wrong themselves, remember Allah and implore forgiveness for their sins - Who forgiveth sins save Allah only? - and will not knowingly repeat (the wrong) they did.”

  Surah 3:135

  The key word is 'remember.' You remembered. You are reading this because something inside you turned back. That turning — that is tawbah. It already started.

• 3

  “Yet whoso doeth evil or wrongeth his own soul, then seeketh pardon of Allah, will find Allah Forgiving, Merciful.”

  Surah 4:110

  It does not say 'might find' or 'could find.' It says WILL find. This is a guarantee from the One who does not break promises.

• 4

  “Save him who repenteth and believeth and doth righteous work; as for such, Allah will change their evil deeds to good deeds. Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.”

  Surah 25:70

  Not just forgiven — replaced. The very things you are ashamed of can be transformed into light on your scale. Who else offers a deal like that?

• 5

  “Establish worship at the two ends of the day and in some watches of the night. Lo! good deeds annul ill-deeds. This is reminder for the mindful.”

  Surah 11:114

  Every good deed you do from this moment forward is actively erasing what came before. Pray. Give. Read. Each one is an eraser on the record you are afraid of.

• 6

  “O ye who believe! Turn unto Allah in sincere repentance! It may be that your Lord will remit from you your evil deeds and bring you into Gardens underneath which rivers flow, on the day when Allah will not abase the Prophet and those who believe with him. Their light will run before them and on their right hands; they will say: Our Lord! Perfect our light for us, and forgive us! Lo! Thou art Able to do all things.”

  Surah 66:8

  Sincere — not perfect. Not dramatic. Not with a long list of conditions. Just sincere. A heart that genuinely says: 'I want to come back.' That is all He asks.

ابن تیمیہ کا کتنا خوبصورت قول ہے: "اہمیت اس بات کی ہے کہ انجام کتنا شاندار ہے، نہ کہ اس بات کی کہ آغاز کتنا خامیوں بھرا تھا۔" شبِ قدر کو آخری دس راتوں میں اسی لیے پوشیدہ رکھا گیا تاکہ ہم آخری لمحے تک کوشش کرتے رہیں۔ بالکل اسی حال میں اس کی طرف پلٹیں اور کہیں: "اے اللہ، تو معاف کرنے کو پسند کرتا ہے، پس مجھے معاف فرما دے۔" وہ آپ کو قبول کرنے کے لیے منتظر ہے۔
