4. Repentance from People and Allah
• We are reluctant to ask forgiveness from people but
that is not the case with Allah
• "O son of Adam, so long as you call upon Me and ask
of Me, I shall forgive you for what you have done,
and I shall not mind. O son of Adam, were your sins
to reach the clouds of the sky and were you then to
ask forgiveness of Me, I would forgive you. O son of
Adam, were you to come to Me with sins nearly as
great as the earth and were you then to face Me,
ascribing no partner to Me, I would bring you
forgiveness nearly as great as it." [Tirmidhi]

6. Given a chance
• The Prophet (pbuh) tells us in this hadith:
"The Scribe on the left delays registering the sin
of a Muslim for six hours. If he repents (within
these six hours), and seeks Allah's forgiveness,
they drop if off. If he doesn't, they write is
down as a single sin."
[Tabarani]

• “ It is those who believe in Allah and confuse
not their belief with zulm for there is security
and they are guided”
(Surah An-Anam 6:82)

11. Accepted Repentance
"Except for those who repent, believe and do righteous work. For
them Allah will replace their evil deeds with good. And ever is
Allah Forgiving and Merciful."
[AL-Qur'anSurah Furqan 25:70]
If we seek forgiveness sincerely
Allah accepts our repentance
He turns those bad deeds into good - imagine
that YEARS of sinning could turn into years of
REWARDS. How? Allah says in the Qur'an:
