Repentance In the Light of the Noble Qur’an and Sound Ahadith

Repentance is the first stage of the journey towards the Assembly of Truth, the first step towards the Hereafter.

Although it is the beginning of this path, it is also the middle and the end of it, for the slave does not abandon repentance, but must carry on repenting until his death. Repentance must be his constant companion on his journey through life.

Repentance is the beginning and end for the slave of Allah. He needs to repent at the end of his journey just as he needs to repent at the beginning.

The beginning of this path lies in regret, which leads to resolution and recognition of the sins which form a barrier between the individual and his Lord. Then he rushes towards peace and salvation, knowing that there is no way to escape fron1 Allah except by seeking refuge in Him. From betwixt fear and hope emerges true repentance. This is the way of the repentant believers: may Allah make us among their number.

It is hoped That those who read this book will be brought closer to Allah, so that the reality of true repentance will be made clear, and they may be among the purified repentant believers.

I ask Allah, besides Whom there is no god, the Living, the Eternal (al-Hayy, al-Qayyum), to accept our repentance, to cleanse us from our sins.
