TAUBA (REPENTANCE)

As-Salaam-O-alaykum, wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh.

All praises for Allah Karim;  Whom we must worship for 'Him Alone' ! Darood-o-Salam on Prophet ﷺ because Allah Karim ordained us to do that ! Peace upon Prophet's (ﷺ)  family, company, successors and those who follow his path.

Allah Karim Says in Quran :

Those who conceal the clear (Signs) We have sent down, and the Guidance, after We have made it clear for the people in the Book,-on them shall be Allah's curse, and the curse of those entitled to curse,-

Except those who repent and make amends and openly declare (the Truth): To them I turn; for I am Oft-returning, Most Merciful.

AL-BAQARA (2) : 159 - 160.

I feel it is time to 'REPENT and  make amends'....but the question is how to repent? 

Shiekh Hasan Al-Maghazli RA was asked the same question..He asked the seeker which Tauba he was looking for; TAUBA-E-ANABAT (To Return) or TAUBA-E-ISTAJABAT (Acceptance)? The seeker requested him to explain both types.

Sheikh said 'Tauba-e-Anabat' is that you persistently fear God because He SWT is Omnipotent........and 'Tauba-e-Istajabat' is that you be ever mindful of his Omnipresence.

Sheikh RA said if you ask me I will recommend you TAUBA-E-ISTAJABAT because therein lies the solution of all your problems.


WHICH ONE WE SHOULD RESORT TO ?
