توبہ ! صاف دِل سے ، پکے عہد سے

اَلہہ کریم توبتہُ نصوحا کی توفیق عطا فرماے ! آمین۔

Today in the morning I received a message from a friend which is appended below 'as it is':-

اِس میسج کو عام نہ سمجھیے ۔ اَلہہ کے ایک نیک بندے (ضلع قصور) کو پاکِستان سے متعلق سختی کا بتایا گیا ھے ۔ اور بتایا ھے کہ 370 دفعہ ”آیتہ کریما” پڑھی جاے ۔ پلیز۔ 

Another brother sent the same message with more details specifying the person who has seen the Dream. The message further claims that same person had dreamed about the catastrophic Earthquake of 2008 seeing the destruction of Bala Kot therein.  Dreams are Quran supported reality and their interpretation requires special expertise because there are definite hidden consequences. MAY ALLAH KARIM SAVE PAKISTAN FROM  HARM AND DESTRUCTION - BOTH NATURAL AND MAN MADE - AAMEEN.

On the "TAUBA" Allah Karim Says in Quran:-

O YOU who have attained to faith ! Turn unto Allah in SINCERE REPENTANCE: it may well be that your Sustainer will efface from you your bad deeds, - - - - - - - - - - - -AT-TAHRIM (66) : 8.

However for acceptance of  TAUBA Allah Says:-

Verily, Allah's acceptance of Repentance relates only to those who do evil out of ignorance and then repent before their time runs out- - - - - - - AN-NISA (4) : 17.

and:-

- - - - so that if any of you does a bad deed out of ignorance, and thereafter repents and lives righteously, He [Allah] shall be {found} much-forgiving, a dispenser of Grace. AN-AN'AM (6) : 54.

and:-

But as for those who do bad deeds and afterwards repent and [truly] believe - Verily, after such Repentance Your Sustainer is indeed much-forgiving, a dispenser of Grace !. AN-A'RAF (7) : 153. 

. . and whose TAUBA is not accepted:-

Whereas Repentance shall not be accepted from those who do evil deeds until their dying hour and then say, "Behold, I now repent"; nor from those who die as deniers of the truth- - - - -  AN-NISA (4) : 18.

What is Repentance (TAUBA)? As per Shiekh-ul-Isalm Hazrat Abdullah Harwi RA, it provides the lead to right path, the key to treasure of Success [Falah], It takes man to Allah, It intercedes between the Repenter and the Forgiver,  it the the guarantee for acceptance and a Fountain of happiness. It has three basic ingredients:-

To be ashamed of the bad deeds and conduct.

To openly confess and ask for repentance with complete sincerity.

To make a resolve  for not resorting to sinful life again and severe relations with those who are bad and evil.

Now lets go back to the message contents - yes recitation of AAYA KARIMA has a special place and significance - no doubt about that - But isn't it necessary for all of us and the Ummah to look inwards and fix the cause/causes due to which we are now susceptible for Allah's Wrath (MA'AZ ALLAH}? 

Lets complete all three steps enunciated above and go for individual and collective TAUBA with sincerity declaring that henceforth WE SHALL FOLLOW DEEN-E-MATEEN IN LETTER AND SPIRIT AND BE WHAT WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE - TRUE SERVANTS OF ALLAH AND ABIDING FOLLOWERS OF RASOOL ULLAH SALALAHO ALLIHE WASALAM.  


ALLAH GIVE US STRENTH, BELIEF AND PERSEVERANCE TO BE TRUE TO OURSELVES. AAMEEN.
