HADITH/SAYINGS OF MUHAMMAD
(SALLALLAHU ALAYHI WA SALLAM)
 

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) said, "Allah, the Exalted, and Glorious said: `A servant committed a sin and he said: O Allah, forgive my sin,' and Allah said: `My servant committed a sin and then he realized that he has a Rubb Who forgives the sins and punishes for the sin.' He then again committed a sin and said: `My Rubb, forgive my sin,' and Allah (SWT) said: `My servant committed a sin and then realized that he has a Rubb Who forgives his sin and punishes for the sin.' He again committed a sin and said: `My Rubb, forgive my sin,' and Allah (SWT) said: `My servant has committed a sin and then realized that he has a Rubb Who forgives the sin or takes (him) to account for sin. I have granted forgiveness to my servant. [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

Commentary: This Hadith tells us that so long as the heart of a Muslim remains free from willful disobedience of Divine injunctions and he does not deliberately neglect his religious duties, that is to say he goes on committing sins and each time wholeheartedly begs pardon for them, Almighty, Allah will forgive him. The reason being that he is penitent for his wrongs and does not insist upon them for fear of accountability. This condition of his shows that his heart is full of awe and Majesty of Allah and he does not feel any disgrace in showing his utter humbleness before Him. Now this is a merit of the sinful which is pleasing to Allah. Thus, He says that so long as his servant continues submission and prostration He will go on forgiving him.

On the contrary, there is a person who goes on committing sins but he neither repents for them nor seeks pardon for his wrongs; nor has any fear of accountability. Obviously, he is altogether different from the kind of Muslims mentioned before, and he will be therefore treated differently by Allah. The conduct of the former is of a Muslim who, in spite of his sins, is liked by Allah while the second is of that of a rebel for whom He has kept severe punishment ready. May Allah rank us among the former category of people.

"'n Afrikaanse Moslem Webtuiste en 'n Blog gerig op die Afrikaanssprekende Christen:

Terwyl die Teoloë en Akademici van ons land se Christelike Kerke, soos Allah wil, al meer skryf oor die feit dat die vergoddeliking van Jesus oor 'n tydperk van jare onstaan het, is die gewone Kerklidmate salig onbewus daarvan dat hulle "saligmaker" toe nou nie so 'n betroubare waarborg tot die Hemel is nie. Die vraag wat Moslems hulleself moet afvra is: "Wat doen ek om te help om my Christen vriende en -kliënte van hierdie tragedie bewus te maak.

Wel, hoekom verwys jy nie net jou vriende na hierdie Webtuiste en Blog toe nie? Mens weet nooit, soos Allah wil...: www.koraninafrikaans.com en: www.letterdash.com/saad"
