I seek refuge with Allah, the All-Hearing the All-Knowing from Satan, the outcast,

In the name of Allah the Most Beneficent the Most Merciful,


Oh Allah, send Your prayers of mercy upon Mohammed and his family as You have sent upon Ibrahim and for Ibrahim's family. You are the Most Praiseworthy, the Glorified. Oh Allah, send Your blessings upon Mohammed and his family as You set upon Ibrahim and for Ibrahim's family. You are the Most Praiseworthy, the Glorified.[/CENTER][/COLOR][/SIZE][/I]

I wonder who was first at Allah's door seeking forgiveness
(Istighfar)?

[COLOR="DarkSlateGray"]O' Allah make us amongst your slaves who are foremost in performing righteous deeds[/COLOR]

Our second assignment is inspired from Allah's the all Mighty- saying:


And (commanding you): [COLOR="RoyalBlue"]{Seek the forgiveness of your Lord, and turn to Him in repentance}[/COLOR] [/FONT][/SIZE][FONT="Book Antiqua"][COLOR="SlateGray"][SIZE="3"](Hud:3)[/SIZE][/COLOR][/FONT][/LEFT]

"Or do those who earn evil deeds think that We shall hold them equal with those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah - Islamic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds, in their present life and after their death? Worst is the judgment that they make."[/COLOR] [COLOR="SlateGray"](Al Jathiya: 21)[/COLOR][/LEFT][/FONT][/SIZE]

Today, let's repent with a deeper perspective of the meaning of repentance.[/FONT][/LEFT][/SIZE]
[SIZE="3"][LEFT][FONT="Book Antiqua"]
[COLOR="Sienna"]We want[/COLOR] it to be true and sincere.

[COLOR="#a0522d"]We want[/COLOR] to repent from our negligence, nonfeasance and sins.


We will define what we want to repent from in details.


This way, it will be a true repentance, consequently we should feel differently.

Our eyes won't rest to sleep until we know that Allah has accepted us and is pleased with us.

Make your repentance during the darkness of the night, in a time of isolation from the world and prepare for it with a lot of Istighfar (seeking forgiveness) and with a sincere night prayer. Supplicate in humility during Prostration ...[/FONT][/LEFT][/SIZE]
