(2014-05-08 KA SABAQ) Repentance & Safeguarding Our Good Deeds

Daily Lesson In URDU By Hazrat Maulana Yunus Palanpuri (D.B)
Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh"  (May the peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be with you).
In regard to repentence,  Maulana in his today's lessons narrates us the following beautiful hadith that should inspire hope in us all: It is truly encouraging to know that the door to repentance is always open, but what is more, Allah is actually happy when one of His slaves repents. It is important to note here that the keys to repentance are that a sinner must desert from his sin, feel regret for having perpetrated it, and then make a firm resolve not to return to it. 

The Holy Prophet (ﷺ)  said,
"Anyone who does repents( tawbah) a year before his death, it will be accepted by Allah."
Then he
(ﷺ)  repeated,
"A year is a long time. If he begs pardon only a month before his end he will be forgiven."
Then he said,
"A month is also too much. Even if he begs pardon only a week before his departure it will be accepted."
Then he said,
"A week is also much more. If the sinner prays for pardon only a day before his death, his repentance will be accepted."
Then he said,
"A day is also a long time. Even if a man repents just before the arrival of the angel of death, his 
repentance (Tawbah )will be accepted."

(Source : Usul Al-Kafi: Chapter of Tawbah)
Maulana further continues telling , it is highly beneficial if man repents over his past misdeeds at any time or any place. On the Day of Judgement, everyone will be on their own, mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, friends, will not come for the help of each other. 

We need to protect every single good deeds , as this is will be a very important factor at the time when our deeds will be weighed (Scale). Slandering ,back-biting , bribe and so on is a major problem amongs us. Most of us are guilty of it. At times we take part of it not even realizing , we are losing all are good deeds and May Allah Protect us if we will be short of one good deed in the scale, So imagine what will be our situation ? 

Maulana narrates us a story of the man who will have one good deed short


" There will be a man, when his good and bad deeds will be weighed, he will have a good deed less for going to Heaven. The Angel will say to him, "Go and get a good deed from someone, then you can go to Heaven, otherwise you will go to Hell." This person will go to his mother and ask her for a good deed. His mother will say, "I don't even know you." Like this, he will go to all his family and they will all say that they don't know him and he will not get a good deed from them. He will go around Mahshar asking for a good deed. He will come across a man. He will ask him for a good deed. He will say, "In my life-time I have only done one good deed, the rest I have done are all bad deeds. I know I will not be going to Heaven with one good deed. You take it." The man will take the good deed and come back to the scale. He will say, "I have a good deed." The Angel will put the good deed on the scale and his good deeds will become more. The man will become happy. Allah will order the man to bring the man who sacrificed his good deed for the other man. When that man will come, Allah will say to him, "You had one good deed and you sacrificed it to another man. As a show of my Mercy, you will go to Heaven with him as well."

Note : This sinner has a poor command on English language & is not able to exactly write (express) Maulana's Talk. Its just a small effort for my Bro and Sis who are not familiar with Urdu language to give them a summarize details about the lesson and get benefits from Maulana Lessons.
