--------------------------------------

I seek refuge in Allah (SWT) from the accursed Shaitan.

In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.

"My Lord, expand for me my breast [with assurance], and ease for me my task, and untie the knot from my tongue, that they may understand my speech."

Juz 1, Surah Al-Baqarah, Verse 37:

“Then Adam received appropriate words from his Lord and repented, and Allah accepted his repentance. Surely He is the Acceptor of Repentance, the Merciful.”

When Adam AS felt sorry for his guilt, and wanted to repent and return to Allah, he could not find appropriate words for asking Allah’s pardon. Then Allah SWT took pity upon him on account of his grief and helplessness and taught him the appropriate words. We are told about these words in surah Al-A’raf.

“Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves, and if You do not forgive us and have mercy upon us, we will surely be among the losers.”

The Arabic word, Taubah means both; to turn back and to turn too. When applied to man, it means, that he has turned back from rebellion to submission. And when it is ascribed to Allah SWT, it means that He has turned with compassion to the seeker of Taubah.

Taubah is not just an emotional attitude, but it requires the necessary condition of three things.

1. Acknowledging sin as a sin. Being ashamed of it, and feeling remorseful.
2. Giving up the sin.
3. Making up one’s mind firmly, never to do it again.

The first condition is related to the past that one is ashamed, one is feeling remorse for what he did. The second condition is related to the present, that I will not do it again now. And the third condition is related to the future that one has made a resolve that I am not going to do it again.

We see that the Quran, rejects the theory that the consequences of sin are inevitable and every man shall bear these, anyhow. This is one of those self-invented, misleading theories, which have done great harm to humanity. And as a result of this, one loses forever all hope of reform, when one is involved in the sin. Even if he feels sorry for a past sin, and wants to make amends for it and change his life for the better, this theory confronts him with despair that there is no hope now for you, and you are domed forever, you must bear the consequences of what you have done in the past.

In contrast to this, the Quran says, it lies absolutely in Allah’s power to reward a virtue or to punish a sin. And we find that even the worst criminals and the staunchest un-believers, need not despair of forgiveness from Allah, provided that they confess their sins before Allah SWT, and not before people, feel ashamed of their disobedience, give up their attitude of rebellion and adopt the attitude of submission instead.
