Allah Will Accept You!

Assalaamu Alaikum!

This is Rayan Arab recording for The Daily reminder. 

Allah ('azzawajal) accepts you, no matter what you do he accepts you & he will never reject you as long as you raise your hands and you ask for his forgiveness! 

The people reject you and Allah accepts you. The people reject you, the people will reject you, your friends, your family, everybody! They will reject you if you make mistakes. They wont like you, they'll get mad at you for a moment and then...they may forgive you and if they don't have any good hearts they probably wont forgive you!

So Allah ('azzawajal) accepts you no matter what, no matter what you...no matter what you do in life he will accept you as long, as long as you raise your hand and ask him to forgive you. If you don't do that he wont accept you! Well he may or he may not but you have to ask your Allah ('azzawajal) to forgive you!

Let me give you this example...an image I wanna draw on your minds.

Zidane in 2006 world cup. Zidane in 2006 world cup as he was playing football, a person came in, came to him and he started you know, like cursing at his mom and whatever. So Zidane got very angry and he got very furious and, so he head-butted this person and he knocked him on the floor! The person fell on the floor and the referee came and he gave zidane a red card. You're out. We don't you to play with us anymore! 

Now...these are humans rules, you break them you're out! We don't want you! You are kicked off the team! You're kicked out of the match, we don't want you! 

But Allah's rules...you break them, he still wants you! He gives you the green light! The doors are open! He still wants you to enter!

Kul ya ibaadi al lazina asraful ala anfusihim la taqnatu mir rahmatillah inaallaha yaqfiruaz zunuba jameea. 'Say, O my slaves who have transgressed against themselves with evil actions, despair not of the mercy of Allah -- Indeed Allah forgives all sins!.'

You make a mistake with your wife when you are like 30 years old. She wants you to buy a dress and you don't wanna buy that dress because you are stingy, you reach 60 years old and your wife still mentions that mistake to you, 'Remember that dress you never bought me? Remember that huh? Do you remember that?' 

You make a mistake with Allah ('azzawajal) when you are like 15 years old and you just reached puberty and you continuously make this mistake until you reach 70 years old and then you raise your hands and you ask Allah ('azzawajal) to forgive you..

'O Allah forgive me, I made all these mistakes...please forgive me.'

Then Allah ('azzawajal) replies...

'I forgave all of your sins and I don't care!'

He doesn't care! Why? Because you raised your hands and you asked Allah ('azzawajal) to forgive you with a sincere heart, with a clean heart, you meant it! And if you make this mistake again he will still forgive you again, if you raise your hands and you ask him to forgive you! You don't necessarily have to raise your hands, you can make sujood or you can do it your own way, but as long as your heart has that intention where you ask Allah ('azzawajal) to forgive you that good, clean intention, that pureness in your heart, then Allah ('azzawajal) will forgive you any moment, in an instant, in a blink of an eye. 

JazakumAllahu khairan! 

Wassalaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakaathuhu!
