“Bismillahir Rahmannir Raheem”Al-Hamdu Lillaahi Rabbil ‘Aalameen was Salaatu was- Salaamu ‘Alaa Sayidinaa Muhammadin wa Aalihi wa Asabihi Ajma ‘een (tauheed- risalat- ahkirat and islam-iman-ihsan)
TAQWA AND TOUBA
Taqwa(piety)=avoiding sins +obeying Allah’s commands
Wara = abstention from prohibited things (haraam)
Doing a good deed is easy but leaving sins is difficult .avoiding sins is far greater than doing good deeds.
Peace/sukoon of heart =avoid sins (connect to Allah and disconnect with duniya)
Avoiding sins(taqwa/piety) + ibadat with iqlas/sincerity(only for Allah) =qurb e elahi/nearness of Allah.
Obedience and worship must be with iqlas/sincerity (for Allah alone)
Ibadat =any deed done for Allah’s pleasure
Ibadat/worship =time bound (conditional) and Itaat/obedience= non time bound (unconditional)
People of ibadat (conditional people) and people of itaat (unconditional people).
Itaat/obedience =start with bismillah ,following sunnah ,Allah is watching me 24/7,good intentions etc etc
For example eating-intention is to worship and help deen of Allah ,to follow sunnah .
Islam is for all the people of different categories/temperaments.
TOUBA
Tauba means to turn towards allah (seeking forgiveness from allah)
Alertness helps in avoiding sins
Don’t disclose your sins to others .
Avoiding sins =allah makes ilm/itaat/ibadat easy
Kamil shaykh bring change in your life and mujahada gives rise to direction.
True tauba removes zulmat/oppression and washes away sins
Touba =sidq e dil (sincerity) to stop sinning
Tauba =must be filled with sidq/sincerity
Tauba means turning towards taqwa(avoiding sins) from sins
Opposing commands of allah (sinning) —–tauba—-taqwa(avoiding sins) +good deeds
People see sins but allah sees his slaves turning towards good .
Sinner must =ask forgiveness with nadamat/remorse +not to repeat the sin+ keep doing good deeds
Allah will not forgive those who argue with him about sins (accept and repent don’t argue).
Avoiding sins= increases hafiza/intelligence +noorani heart + love for ibadat+ peace/sukoon +knowledge (knowledge is noor)+ bright face +increase rizq/sustenance and strength of body
Treatment =nadamat/remoarse
TYPES OF TOUBA
Just tauba/astaqfar= jaza e magfirat
Repeated astaqfar gives = jaza(reward) as forgiveness from sins(magfirat) + ata(gift) as jannah.
Total life spent on tauba= raza/pleasure of allah
Touba done for sins by mistakes/mishaps =raza/pleasure from allah +rewards
Be in state of tauba (divert your attention towards allah)
When I want to talk to allah I say prayers and when I want that he talk to me I recite quran- Hazrath Ali(ra)
Make sure you forward this to others .
