Sejahtera.
Once a man came to the mosque of the Prophet SAW complaining about his sins ; the man was so overcome and saddened by his state that the Prophet SAW said to him,
"Say this : O Allah, your forgiveness is greater than my sins and my hope in Your mercy is greater to me than my (evil) actions."
The man said this and the Prophet SAW said to him, "Say it again."
The man repeated it then thd Prophet SAW said to him, "Say it again."
The man did it and the Prophet SAW said to him, "Arise for, indeed, Allah has forgiven you!"
For this reason Ibn Khathir reports that the Prophet, upon him be peace said about the verse,
"Say (Muhammad) to My servants who have transgressed against themselves, do not despair of Allah's mercy. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins and He is the One who forgives and is Merciful", "It is more beloved to me than anything under the Heavens and on Earth."
Leaving the sin Regret, and Resolving never to return to the sin again.
The month of Ramadan is a time of serious reflection, increased awareness and devotion. Its beginning is mercy and its ending is marked by forgiveness and salvation.
Let us take advantage of this time to set aright our affairs, rebounding from our mistakes and sins from the past. Let us turn to the Most Merciful.
*ILLF- The Prophet said, "Every person commits sins. And the best sinners are those who repent."
