When The World Pushes You To Your Knees — You’re In The Perfect Position To Pray:

When a person realizes that he is moving away From the Lord by disobeying his Lord and he wants to purify himself and raise his level spiritually — This is the right time to repent and bring yourself closer to your Lord.

Make the most of these Feelings of shortcoming to push you to strive; don’t let them make you sink to a lower level or be content with the status quo and not try to change.

Always be conscious of Allah, because Allah says — “O you who believe! Fear Allah (by doing all that He has ordered and by abstaining From all that He has Forbidden) as He should be Feared. (Obey Him, be thankful to Him, and remember Him always,) and die not except in a state of Islam [as Muslims (with complete submission to Allah)].” (Al ‘Imraan 3:102)

Remember His promise and warning, For He has promised His righteous Close Friends — Forgiveness and a Great Reward — “Allah has promised those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah — Islamic Monotheism) and do deeds of righteousness, that For them there is Forgiveness and a great reward (i.e. Paradise)” (Al-Maa’idah 5:9).

And He has issued a warning to those who stray From the straight path and who disobey His Commands — “Allah has promised the hypocrites — men and women — and the disbelievers, the Fire of Hell” (Al-Tawbah 9:68).

This is so that people will always remain in a state between Fear and Hope, and so that they will know that the promise of Allah is true and they will not get carried away with this life, but will prepare themselves For the Meeting with Him.

“O mankind! Verily, the Promise of Allaah is true. So let not this present life deceive you, and let not the chief deceiver (Satan) deceive you about Allah” (Faatir 35:5).

It was also reported that he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Allah says, ‘O son of Adam, so long as you call on Me and put your hope in Me, I will Forgive whatever you have done, and I will not mind. O son of Adam, even if your sins were to reach the clouds of the sky, then you were to seek My Forgiveness, I would Forgive you and I will not mind.

O son of Adam, if you were to come to me with an earthful of sins, and you were to meet Me not associating anything in worship with Me, I will come to you with an earthful of Forgiveness.’” (Narrated by al-Tirmidhi with a hasan isnaad (sound chain). Sunan al-Tirmidhi, no. 3463).

If A Muslim Strives To Obey Allah, Allah Will Make For Him A Way Out From Every difficulty:

Allah says:“And whosoever Fears Allaah and keeps his duty to Him, He will make a way For him to get out (From every difficulty). And He will provide him From (sources) he never could imagine” (Al-Talaaq 65:2-3)

Finally, beware of procrastination,For it will prevent you From doing good deeds. If you start to do something, then hasten to do it and do not slow down or neglect it.

So,the point is that — when we commit a sin, Satan puts the idea in our mind that now you are disobedient to the Lord, now leave the rest of the Good deeds.

The thing to understand is that Allah(swt)loves the servant who committed a sin unknowingly but immediately repented and started obeying the Lord For the sake of closeness — this is the right time to be close to his Creator. When the servant should be ashamed of his sin and repent and Gain closeness to the Lord.

We should Fear only our Lord and Worship Him alone.May Allah(swt) make us His Obedient servants.(Ameen).
