⛱️ ﷽ ⛱️ ✨ Repentance and Hope ✨ In last week's post we read that turning to Allah and seeking His Mercy requires repentance for one's mistakes. Just as physical space is needed to place something, the heart must be cleared of worldly distractions to fill it with faith and light. This purification, essential for spiritual growth, starts with repentance, as the Quran advises: "And always, O you believers – all of you – turn unto God in repentance, so that you might attain to a happy state!" (An-Nur 24:31). Post #3 🌻 Repentance should be accompanied by a certain feeling that Ibn Ataa’ emphasizes here in this word of wisdom. It is hope in Allah. But why is hope necessary for repentance? And what does this have to do with my journey? This is what Ibn Ataa’ explains here. He says: “If you find yourself having less hope in Allah when you make a mistake, then realize you are only relying on your work, not on Allah’s Mercy.” This means that if you are keen to rely on Allah’s Mercy and put all your trust in Him, make sure that you are not self-righteous! Do not think that you have achieved virtue because of your efforts and deeds. And among the signs of one’s relying on his/her deeds, more than on Allah’s Mercy and Bounty, is the decrease in hope when one makes a mistake. Hope in Him should always be at the same level.

#Hadith_of_the_day @Gemsofjannah98

🪴بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته 🌟 📌 *From My Heart to Yours* 🌼 Sometimes, due to trials, our pains become unbearable, and life becomes too difficult . It often seems very difficult to observe patience . We often ask ourselves, 'Is this the end of my dreams? Will my duas ever be answered? Shall I give up?' At such times, step back and tell yourself, 'Allah would not have allowed you to make that du'a if He didn't want to answer it 🙏. Allah would not have allowed that du'a to stay in your heart if it wasn't meant for you' 💖. Maybe the reason behind your du'a not being answered is because you think it won't be answered, or you're hasty in seeking a response 🕰️. It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (RA) that the Messenger of Allah (Peace and blessings be upon Him) said, 'The du'a of any one of you will be answered as long as he is not hasty in seeking a response and does not say, "I prayed, but I have not had a response"' 📖 [Bukhari, Muslim]. So, do not give up and be hasty; it is a sign of arrogance if you do so 🚫. Have tawakkul (trust) that your duas will be answered at the perfect time 🕰️. Keep faith and be patient, for Allah is with you 🌟." •┄┅┅❂❀🌹❀❂┅┅┈• @Gemsofjannah98

⛱️ ﷽ ⛱️ ✨ Repentance and Hope ✨ In the last week's post we read Sheikh Ahmad Ibn `Ataa’illah As-Sakandari emphasizing that if one's faith weakens after making a mistake, it reveals a reliance on personal efforts rather than on God's boundless mercy. He advises those embarking on a spiritual journey not to depend on their good deeds as provisions. Instead, the journey should begin with sincere turning to God, trusting in Him alone, and hoping for His mercy to guide them. The concept underscores that Allah's mercy isn't contingent solely on one's deeds but is constant despite human shortcomings. Thus, starting with reliance on Allah's mercy sets the right foundation for spiritual growth. Post #2 🌻 But both turning to Allah and hoping for His Mercy have to be accompanied by repentance from one’s mistakes and errors. According to Allah’s universal laws, if one wants to put anything in a certain place, there should be room and space for this addition. Faith and light are no exception. Thus, if I want to fill my heart with faith, light and Allah’s remembrance, I should first create some room in my heart that is not occupied with all sorts of objects and desires. Only then can I fill my heart with goodness, or as the Sufi expression goes: Purity, then beauty, then light (al-takhalli thum al-tahalli thum al-tajalli). Therefore, I must start this journey with repenting to God from my shortcomings. {And always, O you believers – all of you – turn unto God in repentance, so that you might attain to a happy state!}.(An-Nur 24: 31) To be continued...✍🏻 #motivational_series WhatsApp (Only for sisters 🧕) - https://chat.whatsapp.com/GMmLlVv3SL1IZOMvGn2LU9 Telegram - T.me/Gemsofjannah98 Instagram - https://instagram.com/gemsofjannah_98?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
