Our
Prophet (S) tells us that there are many gates in Paradise which open
and close, but there is one gate that never closes: the gate of
repentance.
(Reported in Sunan Tirmidhi)
- Allah is always waiting for us to come back to Him:
The Prophet (S) said: "Allah, the Exalted, will continue to stretch out
His Hand in the night so that the sinners of the day may repent, and
continue to stretch His Hand in the daytime so that the sinners of the
night may repent, until the sun rises from the west".
[Muslim]
- Allah loves those who turn to Him in repentance:
"Truly, Allah loves those who turn unto him in repentance."
(Quran: 2:222)
- Almighty Allah becomes extremely happy when His slave repents to Him:
Messenger of Allah (S) said,
"Verily, Allah is more delighted with the
repentance of His slave than a person who lost his camel in a desert
land and then finds it (unexpectedly)".
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
- When you turn to Allah, Allah turns to you
"Allah turns with mercy to him who turns to Him in repentance."
(Bukhari, Muslim)
- Allah will not punish you if you ask His forgiveness:
"...He will not punish them while they seek (Allah's) forgiveness.''
(Qur'an 8:33)
"And whoever does evil or wrongs himself but afterwards seeks Allah's
forgiveness, he will find Allah Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.''
(Qur'an 4:110)
- Allah will forgive your sins even if they reach upto the sky:
"Allah, the Exalted, has said: `O son of Adam! I shall go on forgiving
you so long as you pray to Me and aspire for My forgiveness whatever may
be your sins. O son of Adam! I do not care even if your sins should
pile up to the sky and should you beg pardon of Me, I would forgive you.
O son of Adam! If you come to Me with an earthful of sins and meet Me,
not associating anything with Me in worship, I will certainly grant you
as much pardon as will fill the earth.'''
[At-Tirmidhi]
If you want to change to become a good muslim, remember Allah is waiting for you to turn to Him.
